Comments (37) What I know for sure is that something’s gotta give. What I know for sure is that my plate is overflowing. What I know for sure is that I’ve once again been trying to play the role of Miss Over Achiever, Do-It-All, Superwoman. I’m the proud owner of a new house and a new job [...]
Seven bottles of foundation. Three lipsticks. Two bottles of eyeshadow. Two bottles of blush. In “Natural Beauty,” a short video from directors Lernert and Sander, the model has 365 days’ worth of make-up applied to her face in just one day. Apparently it took nine hours to complete the shoot, and the poor woman had [...]
I am a feminist. When I was in undergrad, I was the co-founder and president of a feminist organization on campus. It was fun and sassy but also incredibly intellectual, and it quickly became one of the most active groups at the college. Today that feminist organization is alive and as active as ever thanks to [...]
If I had a nickel for every time my mom told me to sit up straight, I’d be a wealthy lady. If I had another nickel for every time I didn’t listen to her, I’d be twice as rich. I don’t know why, but I’ve always been a sloucher. Sitting at the computer, writing essays [...]

A few weeks ago I posted about the SlutWalk movement and the notion that a victim of sexual assault is never to blame for her (or his) attack. That post is still garnering attention and new comments; I should have known you all enjoy a little controversy! As a follow-up, today I am featuring this [...]
Sometimes I think I missed my calling. I should have been an investigative journalist, because I so enjoy finding out what really goes on behind the curtain and sharing it with all of you. The weight loss industry is a perfect place to apply this hobby, as it is literally overflowing with myths and misconceptions. [...]
With the help of all of your wonderful moving tips, Dave and I successfully moved into our new house last weekend. (Pictures to come – right now it’s still just boxes!) I’m still in the process of figuring out my new routine, which includes a longer commute than I had before. One thing is for [...]
I have been there. Standing in front of the mirror, clothes strewn all over the room, feeling like my body and my closet are in an all-out war with one another. In that moment of desperation, I look at Dave and utter the loaded question: “Do I look fat in this?” The color drains from [...]
