My older brother got married 3 years ago (and yes, he's better off than me...) but my father, myself & my boyfriend, my aunt and uncle, and some cousins all pitched it to pay for a "second honeymoon." I gave about $750 for them to set aside for their dream trip to Alaska for the next years. Total, they got a few…

I HATE (with a CAPITALIZED PASSION) regular yogurt, and I love this stuff. It's worth trying and if you go to Whole Foods and ask, often they will comp you one to try!

All the men on my father's side of the family have (literally) concave butts. Like, they go IN instead of out. My brother, father, uncle, and cousin have NO asses, and instead were blessed with beer gut genes. So basically they have to buy huge pants to fit the waist but the butt is so baggy you could smuggle a honey…

Skyr! Oh glorious Skyr! It is the most amazing thing ever - it's actually technically cheese but it's nice and thick so you can stick your spoon in it, not too sweet, and super protein dense. I think it's worth the $2 or whatever at Whole Foods because it's truly delicious. I was in Iceland a month ago and I ate it…

Thanks! I hope you like it! I average around 2 items per shipment that I love and adore. I'm wearing one right now - cute polka-dot denim shirt with black skinny jeans and a big cuff per styling suggestions.

If you love animals, try the Woodland Park Zoo! The zoo is beautiful and at 3 pm, they have a penguin feeding where YOU get to feed the penguins. This was a dream! Also it's in a fantastic neighborhood where you can grab a bite in a little cafe or a nice dinner.

This is me a million times. I am a grad student, work in a lab, and a teach...and I didn't really notice anything until someone commented on my "grandma" style. And not in a good way. I dug around on Le Internet and found a site called Stitch Fix. You fill out a profile of your body type, what you like/don't like and…

I agree - what a book, and I can't wait to see the movie.

PEAR JUICE!!!!! Drink at least two cans and for as long as you are on narcotics/pain meds. It works better than prune juice. Trust me. Also take 2 fiber gummies a day - I like the ones from Whole Foods.

Please, take my hairless genes, for it runs throughout the body! (Aka I shave my legs ~2 weeks, almost no hair on arms, and feeling like I'm balding on top)

I can't wait to eat bucketloads of this - I go back in a month and I'm thrilled. Too bad I can't pack my suitcase full of to take home...they don't sell it in my state!

None of that's Siggi's stuff - if they don't eat that in Iceland, it won't do! After visiting the country, I concluded that the skyr.is stuff is my favorite.

I didn't know what that meant before...and I regret looking it up. I'm so tragically un-hip.

See, I work in a lab (yeah opossums!) but I also teach, so how to reconcile with "safe" clothing for work while still trying to look like an adult so my students stop mistaking me for their classmate is...difficult. I tend to end up wearing jeans and cardigans every damn day, obviously pairing it with my classy…

Well, I discovered that my father had told me the wrong blood type for 15+ years. I had thought I was AB - and it turns out I'm A +. I think it's pretty relevant to know. Also it's fun to see how accurate my oral family history vs. mtDNA was - scarily close!

This, and this again. As an immunologist, I was horrified by this write-up. They also fail to mention this "awesome feminazi immune system" we have is also way more prone to serious autoimmune disease. It's unimportant you know, because MS only affects 10 times the number of women as it does men, so it's you know,…

Nope, I totally recoiled in horror at my screen too.

Two shoulder surgeries and my arms blew the hell up...currently they are about 1-2 inches larger than prior to surgery. Regardless of how much PT, icing, or training I do at the gym, they do NOT want to go down in size. Surgical intervention is tempting, but it's what got me into trouble in the first place. What do I…

I've have both my shoulders repaired after SLAP lesions with Bankart repairs. My issue is that while I work out frequently (gym and swimming) and have gained mobility and (some) strength, I still have tremendous swelling and pain in my arms. Aside from icing and ibuprofen, are there other suggestions you have for…

I guess in a sense when I grew up, I had never met anyone who was in a relationship with someone long term, but NOT married. I've always sort of equated long-term commitment (and thus happiness?) with marriage as a result, but you're right - not much would actually change.
