As bloggers, we get a fair amount of free stuff from companies and the publicists who represent them. This is both common knowledge and common practice in the industry, as it allows writers to see new products and figure out whether or not we should recommend them to readers, as well as giving the businesses a better chance at exposure. So is the idea of us selling those free gifts ethical? More
Ever wonder what There’s Something About Mary would look like with serial killers? Yeah. Me, too. More
By now, you are probably aware of the article on XX factor that seeks to convince women they should get married young, because a marriage certificate is a magical piece of paper that makes you financially independent from your parents, keeps you from ever breaking up, and furthermore, transforms whomever you decide to marry into your soulmate. If you are not, well, I’ve just summarized it for you. More
This strikes me as going a little bit beyond “poor taste” and ventures into “dick move.” More

I don’t know about you, but I spend way too much time looking at old high school friends’ updates on Facebook and sifting through work emails. Somewhere in the time between my first cup of coffee and the 4pm rush, I’ve wasted my precious internet moments on meaningless crap. Again. More

In fact, when I posted an amusing infographic on the actual ways to prevent rape a while back, more than one commenter got all snippy, saying that, like it or not, a woman “in reasonably decent shape and with reasonably good looks” is obviously much more likely to be targeted while looking “slutty and sexually seductive” than while wearing “ratty jeans, greasy hair,” etc., and that anyone who thinks any different “is just deluding themselves (to a ridiculous and laughable degree).” Guess what, commenter? That is bullshit. More
Andrea is on a quest to check off a bucket list of items in her 29th year. You can read more about her adventures at her blog, Thirty-Things.
Starting a blog was actually the first item of business on my list of things to do before I turned thirty; I write about it now because my reflections about the enterprise are likely a little more profound after six odd months of blogging than they would have been in the beginning when… More

Did you know that there’s a website called “Sextsy” that’s dedicated to finding all the sexiest photos on Etsy? Now you do! (I’m not sure why “sext” should be a part of the name, but I’ll go with it.) Although its purported reason for existing is to “celebrate the beautiful women who continue to drive creativity in the realms of fashion and craft,” it is also a goldmine for ridiculous pictures on par with Sad Etsy Boyfriends. Here are some of my favorites. More
There are a lot of things I regret about last week. But mostly I regret the huge mind blip that made me forgot my favorite awkward dating story when Jennifer was out polling for bad date tales. Though at this point, cakes and babies is so much more than a dating story. More
It’s not enough for celebrities to have fragrances and skincare lines – now, they want a slice of the internet pie. (Mmm, pie.) Celebrities from Gwyneth to Gisele are now launching websites where they can pretend to be relatable and approachable while endorsing expensive products and talking about their famous friends. Next up is Heidi Klum, the supermodel/Project Runway host/mom of four, who has just inked a deal with AOL to produce lady-specific content. More
