Wedding Bliss or Miss?

Whoever says that the engagement period is the best time of your life, is either delusional, out-of-touch, a liar or did not plan their own wedding. In the span of 4 months, I've had about a million meltdowns and at least 1 major breakdown – which involved me sobbing in the arms of my  betrothed, …

A Bride At Any Age…

I've never watched "Say Yes to the Dress" and I'm about to get married at 39 years old. That's a lot of non-preparation. 10 years ago, I happily watched my sister, my best friend and peers get married. Since then, I've truly embraced my life as a single woman (honestly, it's a blast if you do …

5 Awesome Robert Downey Jr Movies That AREN’T Iron Man.

I know everyone loves Iron Man. He's funny, sarcastic, seemingly impervious - basically, he's Robert Downey Jr in a suit with sick ass commentary. I get it. I also loathe it.

8 Thoughts I’ve Had Since I Started Exercising

Anyone who knows me, knows I'm an over-thinker. I even wrote about over-thinking during yoga and decided silent, peaceful moments aren't for me. So I joined a gym with lots of music. Fitness First.

7 Red Flags When Dating A Dude

  As someone who's been in the dating pool for approximately 20 years now (it was a pool before, now it's a puddle), I believe I've honed the art of spotting red flags in men (heeding my own advice, now that's a skill I haven't mastered yet). So here is my own bullshittery. Red Flag …

Why Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.

So I did a lot of heavy research on this topic (reading online articles at 2am, and deep thinking) and there are a lot of listicles about "Signs to Dump" and a lot less on why breaking-up is actually not an easy task for a lot of people to do. There are many people who …

Cool Girls.

I was recently wowed by Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl" - particularly this paragraph: "I was playing the girl who was in style, the girl a man like Nick wants: the Cool Girl. Men always say that as the defining compliment, don’t they?She’s a cool girl . Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, …

Things Women Wish We Never Have To Do.

  1. Wear heels Have you ever met a woman who didn't grumble about her heels, complain that her feet were bleeding into her shoes, can't walk far cos of her heels, hates you forever cos you made her walk, hates heels but hates looking short. We love the idea of heels but hate them to …

On Women and Bullying.

It's 2014 and you'd think we'd be done with all this feminist nonsense. And yet, a woman standing up for herself in any which way is deemed feminist, which is viewed as the antithesis of being feminine. And with that comes a bucketload of taboo EMOTIONS.
