It’s February and that means it’s time to celebrate all of the love in your life by getting a little saucy. I’m obviously referring to pizza — what did you think I was talking about? February 9th is National Pizza Day, and we know you want to honor…

I live in New York City. Clearly, there's rarely a moment I'm not making the most of my days and evenings, gallivanting from happy hours to free shows, museum nights, and open mics. Or so my friends and family with access to my Instagram feed think.…

When watching star athletes like U.S. track and field competitor Allyson Felix compete, many of us can't help but wonder about the things that make these inspiring people who they are. There are plenty of facts about Allyson Felix that you would…

Whether you're studying out of state or living far away from your family, we all get a little homesick. And there’s nothing quite like the classic PB&J sandwich that gives you a little piece of home, wherever you eat it. Most PB&J lovers can…

When it comes to knowing how to pick out the best lingerie for yourself, the pressure of finding something that'll feel good while you're wearing it and fit your specific style preferences can make for a headache-filled shopping nightmare. You might…

When it comes to choosing your underwear, there are a weird amount of things to consider. Especially for something that's not really seen for the majority of the day, it's crazy to imagine how varied the prices can get. Just how much more magical…

Money is a sneaky little two-faced thing. It's hard to grasp how much we actually have of it, where and when it should be going, and where it actually does go. Especially because it's those little things we waste our money on that totally get by us.…

Hey, guess what? We all make mistakes. Crazy, right? And all of us — even those who seem to totally have their sh*t together on the surface — have gone through our periods of doubting ourselves and need to feel more confident. Some more often than…

With all of life's hustle and bustle, it can be easy to forget about the most important person at the end of the day: yourself. Yes, we've all been bombarded with the self-love quotes and pop anthems, and we get it. But still — there are ways to…

Questions are beautiful things. To some extent, they can be more important than the answers they elicit. This especially rings true when asking yourself questions to help understand who you are. Obviously, the answers matter. But what matters even…

There are a number of reasons why I watch Pretty Little Liars. Aside from the intrigue spurred by cryptic text messages and murderous enemies, deciphering plot holes that make no sense, and getting my weekly dose of Hanna Marin wisdom — because yes,…

I have small boobs. So no, figuring out ways to go braless with big boobs isn't exactly a problem I have. In fact, I could probably easily live bra-lessly for a week — small perks of having small boobs. Bless the sweaters and all things slightly…

Of course you know you should never settle for less than you deserve. Yet after any prolonged period of dating dry spells or just straight up relationship failures, you may have thought to yourself that you're just doomed to a life of being forever…

You've sent out your job applications, had an interview, answered those tough questions, and landed the job. You may think the job hunt is over, but something many new job seekers overlook is the importance of salary negotiation skills. Personally,…

I think it's fair to say that many of us are able to quite expertly put the "pro" in procrastination. We can even plan to search for ways to stop procrastinating and apply said advice... later. Because we'll get around to it eventually, right?…

We've sifted through the glitter and confetti, popped the champagne bottles, and counted our way down to the start of a fresh, new year. It's an exciting time to be starting off with a clean slate to set some easy New Year's resolutions for 2016…

Whether you're stepping off a plane — holiday sunshine still soaked in your skin — or you're crawling out of your hibernation blankets as you push aside your books and close out your Netflix queue — beating the post-holiday blues can be a challenge.…

As the wrapping paper and champagne bottles are tossed, the fireworks fade with the tropical tans, and our return tickets are handed over, being more productive when coming back from a vacation could prove difficult. Whether we're reminiscing about…

Whether it's in an office, at a cafe, over the phone, or on the moon (that's where NASA interviews candidates, right?), job interviews are not exactly on top of most people's fun lists. Well, maybe if more of them were on the moon. No matter how…
