About 6 months ago, I got a message on my Tumblr. I don’t usually answer those messages because they are either creepy, disgusting, or just plain weird. But this one was cute, endearing, and eye-catching. And after I sufficiently stalked his Tumblr, I answered. Flash forward to now. We’re still talking. Not every day by any means, but quite a bit for two almost strangers that have never met. RELATED: Is It Really Love If You’ve Only Been Dating Online & Never Met In Real Life?...

I met my best friend when I was 10 years old. Throughout elementary school, we became inseparable. We were in the same classes every year and we were together just about every weekend. There was nowhere you’d find me that she wasn’t there. Together, we looked forward to high school. We’d get prettier (we hoped), we’d meet more people (not that it mattered as long as we had each other), and maybe finally someone would want to date us....

He explained that he isn’t legally married to his wife, rather is “spiritually” married to her for two years. He further explained that both of them are financially independent and had agreed to split everything financially when they got married. The couple recently decided to have a child together. One day, when the man came home from work, it seemed his wife wanted to have a serious conversation with him....

My latest “Tinderoni” was a very nice blue-collar man, just recently out of a seven-year relationship. He was trying Tinder as a way to meet new people and we became instant friends after our first date. This was our third time hanging out and I was going to determine if we were going to stay in the friend zone or try for more. He confirmed he would join us later in the evening....

He came out with a little blonde mohawk, gorgeous blue eyes, and soft skin. His cry was one of the most precious sounds I had ever heard in my life and it made me want to cry (with joy) every time I heard it. His father and I were elated. His father and I eventually separated and divorced in 2007, but he promised to stay in Daemon’s life. For the next year, he came in and out of Daemon’s life sporadically and refused to help me support Daemon financially....

Taking time for yourself and making yourself a priority is always being marketed to women. It’s especially true in the new year as we are bombarded with the latest secrets to happiness, fulfillment, and making this year the best one yet! I’m all for bettering ourselves. I’m a big fan of self-care, too. Five out of five stars. In fact, it took me many years and a little bit (OK — a lot) of therapy to realize that self-care is essential to your emotional well-being....

Eighteen hours later, we met in real life. Six weeks to the day of our first meeting, we got married at the scale replica of the Greek Parthenon here in Nashville, TN. You read this correctly: I fell in love with and married a man I met through Tinder after knowing him for six weeks. You might think I’m absolutely insane, but I’m pretty damn confident I’ve made the right choice....

But of course, you are still reading this, because, like me, you probably suffer from lack of sleep. According to the American Sleep Association, insomnia is the most common sleep disorder and affects about 30 percent of adults for a few weeks or so a year, while an unlucky 10 percent have chronic insomnia, which can last for months or, in my case, years. Thirty-five years to be exact. I famously cannot sleep....

At the age of 10, I took a pledge at my church alongside a group of other girls to remain a virgin until marriage. Yes, you read that right — I was 10 years old. Let’s take a look at who I was as a 10-year-old: I was in fourth grade. I played with Barbie dolls and had tea parties with imaginary friends. I pretended I was a mermaid every time I took a bath....

“What do you want me to wear today?” I brushed my teeth and washed my face while I waited for him to text me back. “White button-down shirt. Tuck it in. Your jeans. Flats. Put your hair in a ponytail. Send me a photo.” I dressed as instructed, then stood before the wall-length mirror in my apartment’s hallway. Smiling into the mirror, I snapped a photo on my iPhone and sent it to Ben*....

She is terrified of getting shots, working herself into a tearful frenzy at every annual physical. I distracted her on the subway by telling her that the $100 would be hers to spend however she liked. She rattled on about wanting new batches of slime and the joy of buying make-up at Sephora, exposing the child-to-teen she was in the process of becoming, slime to squish in one hand, a fall palette of eyeshadow in the other....

My now-ex had basically told me he was getting increasingly interested in someone else and, at first, I assumed that it was a plea to help him stay loyal. I explained how much history we had and he said that he wanted to see things change between us. So, to try to make sure he was happy, I changed things up. I took his suggestions and applied them, even to the point of wearing skirts, which weren’t really my deal....

In the heat of it all, you can feel so confident with leaving, and the next day be crying over old photos and writing enough “I miss you” texts to fill a novel. If you’re feeling like a psycho who can’t get her feelings straight or being mad at yourself for not knowing how to control your emotions as adults do, it’s okay.

Have you finally found the person who you think is your person but you’re not 100% sure because you’ve never been in this place before?

True joy — that deep, heartfelt feeling that comes from a connection to purpose, people, or the world around us — is the ultimate stress antidote. Yet, so many stories in our culture and between our ears make it harder to find and hold joy. Many of our standard practices are not joy, health, or brain-friendly! In fact, they make us even more stressed out!

Another new episode of “Euphoria” premiered last night, and as usual, eagle-eyed fans took to social media with their predictions and theories for upcoming episodes. There are many storylines in season two that haven’t been addressed yet, including the complicated relationship between Nate and Jules that was first introduced in season one. Fans were quick to speculate that viewers might never get a resolution between Nate and Jules because allegedly Jacob Elordi and Hunter Schafer refused to film scenes together for season two....

Styles’ loyal fanbase has previously pointed out the singer’s receding hairline, making comments that he might be going bald soon, though could he have already shaved his head? Is Harry Styles bald? Fans seem to think so after celebrity gossip site Deux Moi posted an anonymous submission from someone claiming that a certain celebrity has allegedly gone completely bald. “This A-list musician/occasional actor has a dirty little secret he hasn’t shared with fans....

Simmons’ disappearance from public life is being explored in a new TMZ documentary titled “What Really Happened To Richard Simmons” which touches on some of the many rumors about the TV personality’s abrupt end to his career in 2014. But it’s far from the first time these theories have been explored. In 2017, the third episode of the viral podcast “Missing Richard Simmons,” made startling claims about the reason why Simmons suddenly disappeared from public life altogether....

Many things about girls piss me off. Like how we often settle for guys who make us feel like crap simply because we want to feel desired. Or, how we send our pictures through four different photo editing apps and 20 filters before actually posting it on Instagram. And, why the hell are guys always expected to make the first move? The list could go on and on. But, since being in college, I’ve realized the one thing that girls do that pisses me off like no other....

As the latest participant in Vogue’s 73 Questions video series, the actress addressed the rumors involving her and Weinstein, which date back to 2018. During the interview, Lawrence was asked: “What’s the most bizarre thing you’ve ever read about yourself?” After taking a short pause, Lawrence replied: “That I f-ked Harvey Weinstein.” RELATED: Brendan Fraser Moved To Tears As His Return To Acting Following Groping Allegation Receives Standing Ovation...
