Everyone has their breaking point. Mine came last summer, when it was time to replace the tattered pile of sad Urban Outfitters sandals that I had worn into the ground the previous season. I wanted a pair of sandals that wouldn’t fall apart, that wouldn’t make my feet bleed and that were actually comfortable. I […]
It’s no secret millennials tend to lean left, or that Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign drew on unprecedented levels of support from this demographic. Thus, fully cognizant of whom much of their audience might be this year, the Democratic convention’s digital director, Kelli Klein, spoke with Mic last week about “crafting an experience that works for a generation likely to […]
I met up with Mark* on Friday night, eager to kiss my long workweek goodbye and roll into the weekend, drink in hand. We’d only been seeing each other a short time and hadn’t slept together yet, but if our chemistry over the last few of weeks was any indication of what was to come, […]
Ours was the shortest courtship that I had ever heard of. Well, except for celebrities, but we all know how those turn out most of the time. Oh, and that girl I knew in college who went on a date with a college professor and was married to him two days later. Fool, was what […]

The perfect foundation that matches your complexion exactly and makes it look flawless; the […]

It’s a horribly dizzying place, filled with bouts of insomnia, nausea and an episode of neverending flu. It’s not a place I recommend visiting, and yet, I’ve found myself here because I decided to get off of Paxil, the anti-anxiety drug […]
The Wall Street Journal is about as publicity stunt-y as The New York Times’ Style section in terms of publishing articles guaranteed to kick up a fuss. But the WSJ, being owned by Rupert Murdoch’s NewsCorp (Fox News, etc.), leads with a conservative slant. This week’s case-in-point is an op-ed by lawyer Judith Grossman, whose son was […]
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away … OK, it was last year in The Frisky office … I was going to get my first-ever (and last-ever) Brazilian bikini wax. I was curious, but also terrified. Pain and I are not friends. So I asked Amelia, my boss and friend and person […]
