Though I prefer to purchase my produce at Whole Foods or my neighborhood farmer's market (or, when incredibly desperate, at the Key Foods across the street from me), Trader Joe's is a pretty great one stop shop for fruits and veggies, frozen meals, a…

I have long wondered what I would look like as a Polly Pocket, Lego, Play-Mobil, or Barbie doll. Toys don't really get nuance, and I have brownish/blondish/reddish hair, so would I get yellow curls, or brown ones, or would I have Crayola hair like Ra…

As someone with an addiction to caffeine that is beginning to near debilitative, I am always in search of new products that'll help augment the six or seven cups of coffee I send coursing through my veins each day. So far, I've found coffee ice cream…

There are lots of reasons Scandinavian governments are far more exemplary than ours. There are the Finnish baby boxes, for instance; the Norwegian "allemannsrett" laws, which let you pitch a tent anywhere you like; plus socialized health care, hefty …

I'm still reeling from the news that goat yoga is illegal in New York City, thus rendering it impossible for me to rest in pigeon pose with a fluffy baby Angora goat resting atop my spine. But some inspiring news has mitigated my heartbreak — dog yog…

With the royal wedding only about a month away, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry souvenir season is in FULL SWING. Naturally, Kensington Palace has approved some rather lovely gear to commemorate our favorite couple — like this official royal wedding …

Not that we don't have enough impending apocalyptic doom to worry about, what with the threat of nuclear annihilation a slight possibility these days, but here's something new to keep you up at night: an asteroid flew frighteningly close to Earth on …

Everything is better when it's unlimited. I just got unlimited data on my phone, and now I can listen to the Side Show original Broadway cast recording wherever I go, even though I cannot find the album on Spotify anywhere. YouTube, on the other hand…

Secret menus are my favorite thing about fast food joints. There's something vaguely satisfying about pulling up to a drive-thru, rolling down your window, and informing the Burger King attendant that you'll be having a Mustard Whopper with a side of…

I am in constant fear of losing my relatively new iPhone 8, which, at this point, is the second most expensive thing I own (my laptop is the first) and also is home to a lot of un-backed up photos of my friends' cats. But it appears at least one iPho…

I live in New York City, where in the middle of April, it has only JUST climbed above 55 degrees. Winter here has felt unending, so much so that I'm considering giving up my tickets to see Angels in America on Saturday so I can stand outside in the s…

I am still reeling from the news that the Spice Girls will NOT be doing a reunion tour anytime soon, even though I've listened to the Spice World soundtrack at least five times in preparation, JUST IN CASE. But it appears memorizing the choreography …

Etsy is a constant trove of treasures, home to bespoke magic like this Resting B*tch Face china set, these harrowing adult toy slippers, and my beloved Squish the Patriarchy stress ball. And now, Etsy delivers once more, blessing internet perusers/sh…

I am not a particularly big fan of regular Bud Light. For some reason, though, I've been able to overcome this aversion with Bud Light Lime, perhaps because the pungent lime taste manages to overcome the otherwise overpowering beer water taste. So it…

There's a lot of effort that goes into being a bridesmaid. You've got to deal with the dress, of course, and potentially the bridal shower, and definitely a bachelorette party that'll probably force you to travel to Nashville or Miami with a group of…

There's been a lot of information of late floating around about Cambridge Analytica, a British political consulting firm hired by the 2016 Trump campaign, that reportedly mined private Facebook data from over 80 million users to predict their voting …

An employee's punctuality is typically a pretty high priority for bosses — they expect you to be on time for work so you can start the task at hand promptly, and not just roll in whenever you feel like it (although if they do let you do that, NEVER Q…

Since the dawn of modern civilization, we've been debating the effect gender has on intelligence, if any. Though men have long excelled over women in the sciences (and, of course, for centuries men were considered more academically gifted overall), c…

Now that Taco Bell has changed the French fry game with the advent of their (soon-to-go-on-hiatus) Nacho fries, other chains are batting around the idea of sticking their own twist on fried potatoes on their menus. And apparently one doughnut-and-cof…

Now that my friends are starting to have babies (OH GOD I AM OLD), some very cute pregnancy announcements have been winding their way through my social media feed. But none of the bun-in-the-oven takes have quite outmatched one Charleston, South Caro…
