I was ahead of the curve and posted the 30 things I love about myself months before “Love Yourself Week,” so I’ve decided to celebrate the week (and myself) by taking a cue from Wendy. Here are the 30 things I do well — some I’m proud of, others not so much. Polishing off a […]
We all have those things about ourselves that we have trouble accepting, like, uh, our ugly feet or the fact that we always interrupt people when we get excited about something. I would know nothing about that. Really. In honor of Love Yourself Week here at The Frisky, I’ve decided to make peace with something […]
Everything has a default setting. Sometimes it’s good – for example, I actually like the starry background that came with my iPhone. Sometimes, however, the default setting may need to be changed in order to make the product usable for your daily life. I’m assuming no one is just letting Hulu Plus play the next […]

My friend Desiree did something remarkable and revolutionary: instead of hiding away, she marched boldly into a proud new future, and in the process became an inspiration to me and, […]
