Hear hear! My mom intentionally smoked through her 5th and 6th pregnancies in the 80's and those two babies (myself included) were her biggest: 9.5 lbs and 11 lbs. Just goes to show how many variables are at play in fetal development. It's a balancing game!

No. Instead these subjects come up because almost every pregnant woman is immediately judged and pressured and given a plethora of “helpful advice” about everything they’re doing “wrong.” Most things carry risk and most pregnant women have healthy babies despite inherent risk. It’s impossible to not change your…

I know it’s popular to be anti-”upper middle class” but that socioeconomic group is under immense pressure. Their basic needs are met and they can afford luxuries, which is great and something to be thankful for, but life is hard for anyone. You can have medical issues, depression, trouble fitting in, etc regardless…

OK but what about avocados? Can I survive on just avocados? (I’m kidding, though there seem to be so many articles about how they’re the perfect food)

Congratulations, your parents had sex in early August

It sucks because you end up becoming the ugly tourist when you start avoiding pictures, offering a bad impression on these folks who don’t have a lot of contact with Westerners and are generally just excited, not nefarious. When I was in Myanmar, I didn’t get as much photographing, but I made a point there to be as…

When I was in India, I had so many random people take photos of me (not because I’m famous, but because I’m blonde and white- common issue in India) that I started to get annoyed. There I was at the Pakastani border near Amritsar in a huge crowd of people and this guy shoved his camera phone in my face. It was 117…

Sounds like a Law & Order SVU topic waiting to happen!

Do you think changing “vulnerability” to “venerability” is a Freudian slip? Is a law valid if it's full of typos? We can't even submit a brief with a missing comma...

Yeah it’s so bizarre basically none of us are happy with our skin tone. I looked in the mirror at the gym and thought “God my legs are so so pale” the other day

I mean there's some filtering there but her IG also has a video where she's awfully light-skinned (ESP compared to her beauty mark).

You don’t realize how insidious this problem is til you visit a place like India or Thailand where practically every cosmetic has lightening ingredients. Such a global issue.

What I’m seeing is the “beyhive” spamming the Rachel Roy FB page (since she locked down her insta that’s all I can see) and then not doing the same to Jay Z’s page. What she did was stupid and childish, but what he did (actually cheating on his wife... Aka creating the problem to begin with) is way worse.

What Rachel did is obviously problematic but I just don't understand the ire against her and not Jay Z. I have really mixed feelings about her because she's obviously putting a lot of this on herself but she also designs clothes for plus sizes and speaks highly about body positivity.

I’ve come to the conclusion that people who say “no drama” really mean “I’m going to be an ass and you can’t call me out on it or else I’ll cut you out and call you crazy”

Rachel Roy is half-Indian. There's a good chance she's one and the same, but still

Excommunicated “progeny” of Joseph Smith here to second this. One of the leading causes of ER hospitalizations in SLC is Xanax overdose because of housewives under terrible pressure. Not to mention my grandfather was an alcoholic and cheated on my grandmother, but she was to blame because she didn't keep his…

That's crazy! I insta-stalk another Romanov, Carlo Alberto Maccanovic Romanov, and he lives a VERY different life. He also has extremely good hair, in case you were wondering.

Here's a tip: have any doctor prescribe you tretinoin (retinol) cream. No doctor will deny it to you because it's cheap and safe, and with prescription it's $5-10. Without a prescription, it's still cheaper than any anti aging creams. Put it on, follow with a cheap moisturizer, and you're golden. Retinol is the active…

Which is so the opposite of Kylie and Tgya
