“Our whole family danced our butts off to [‘I Want Your Sex’] in the living room. No idea what it meant! We just knew it made us move.” Kate Hudson shared the “soundtrack of her life” in this month’s InStyle, and the song she cited as the defining jam of her childhood was none other […]
It’s not often that I endorse dragging your butt to go see a movie in the theater. Tickets cost as much as a cocktail, theatergoers are rude, the floors are sticky, and you can watch pretty much anything you want on Netflix and Hulu now anyway. But really, go see “Obvious Child,” starring Jenny Slate, […]
“Wow” is all I have to say after watching this beautiful video that tells the story of Ryland Whittington, a bright, fun, loving little boy who happens to be transgender. Ryland’s story is fairly typical of many transgender kids — around age 3, he started rejecting a traditionally feminine presentation and self-identifying as a boy. […]
Considering that one in three women will have an abortion during her lifetime, we don’t see too many on the big screen. Even in “Knocked Up” and “Juno,” two of the biggest movies in the last decade about unplanned pregnancies, the characters barely discussed terminations. That’s one of the few reasons I’m very curious to […]

Superyachts, luxury boutiques, celebrated beach clubs, and celebrity culture now give the coastal town its glamorous identity. Artists played an important role in establishing Saint-Tropez as a creative […]
Let’s get one thing straight: you don’t need to hand over your phone password like it’s a friendship bracelet to prove your undying loyalty. In a world where our screens are basically extensions of our limbs, privacy is considered self-care. Sure, sharing a code is a total lifesaver when you’re driving and need a DJ […]
Heat waves can put serious stress on your car, especially when it is older, poorly maintained, parked in direct sunlight, or already dealing with worn parts. High temperatures do not usually make modern car parts literally melt, since vehicles are built and tested for major temperature changes. Still, extreme heat can create problems under the […]
You’re home from the hospital. The baby is three days old and sleeping in two-hour stretches. Somewhere between the 3 a.m. feeding and your fourth cup of coffee, you remember: the second passport won’t happen on its own. For binational families, the newborn period comes with a document deadline that nobody puts on the baby […]
