Just The Way We Are
Newsflash, y’all! Kim Kardashian has her body back. No surgery, haters. So stop your finger-pointing and snide headlines, already. US Weekly calls Kim’s “exclusive” picture proof the ultimate revenge for all the post-baby body bashing stories. And as far as the media (and a large segment of our body conscious society is concerned), that’s all […]
by Rachel Kargas I have always been self motivated. In school nobody had to remind me to do my homework. In college I could be found at 10PM on a Friday night in the quiet corner of the Memorial Library nursing a cup of black coffee while my friends were out doing shots and drinking Sex On […]
If I asked you what you are thankful for right now…what would you say? Would you say you are thankful for your health? Your family and friends? Your job or the view from your bedroom window? All of those and more, I would imagine. We’re grateful for our kids and for our family pets and […]

I don’t like math. I don’t really like anything having to do with numbers. Maybe my dislike for the subject has something to do with the Post Vacation Equation. 5 days in Charleston + 4 days in Myrtle Beach x 3 meals a day – the cupcake I walked 12 blocks for […]
Every night I am faced with a dilemma. Do I smooth on the ultra hydrating, wrinkle repairing, elasticity maintaining, cellular turnover promoting night cream? Or do I smear my face with the sticky anti-acne salicylic acid gel? I find myself facing the unsettling predicament of having both wrinkles and acne at the same time. Never […]
I recently received an email from a reader asking for help. She hates dieting but loves diet Coke (not because it’s diet, mind you, but because she likes the taste and that’s fine by me). She hates dieting for the sake of dieting and she hates her body even more. She knows she’s overweight and […]
