Signs it's time to cut your hair

Growing up, I always had long hair. In fact, I had long hair well into my teens until I had an unfortunate incident with do-it-yourself bangs that forced me to get an unplanned, and slightly traumatic, pixie cut.

This Summer, Let's End the Pedicure Judgment

Positive body image should extend to feet.

I've got a toe whose medical history includes being stomped on during a merciless game of tug-o-war in grade school, being stomped on again with a stiletto heel near a dinosaur skeleton at a winter formal, and being recently stubbed while taking some steps two at a time in slides (not advised).

After a difficult childhood marred by cases of alcoholism and suicide in the family, Demi Moore left behind her life in a New Mexico trailer park in pursuit of the bright lights of Tinsel Town. Three decades and three husbands later, Moore's name is known the world over, but her face is rarely seen anymore. So what happened?

False facts you believe about money

While I have spent the majority of my life feeling like I was pretty good with my money, the older I get, the more there is to learn, understand, and navigate. Aside from the usual expected bills and rent payments, we also have to think about paying off student loans, buying new cars, making a downpayment on a house, and saving for retirement.
