“Men’s nipples can be carnal command centers.” This is the phrase that sticks most in my head after a week of looking deep into the mystery of men’s hard nipples. The sentence appeared in a 2014 Cosmopolitan piece about male nipple sensitivity, and I’m not sure if it’s just...
My nights are mostly spent competing with both my girlfriend and our 70-pound pitbull for bed space. We have a queen bed, which was (kinda) enough when it was only the two of us. But when we adopted our dog, he insisted on taking up as much...
I’m currently in the midst of a chaotic move, and let me tell you: I’m one more heavy dresser away from blowing my brains out. Now, I admit to taking the cheap (and painful) route: My girlfriend and I rented a small moving truck for about $140,...
“No, you can’t use the water fountain.” “Why?” “Because, here’s the thing… Water fountains are gross. There’s tons of germs on there and I don’t want you to use one. Ever.” This was the exact conversation I had with my three-year-old recently when we were at a...

The researchers argue that ongoing global food-related crises — namely, climate change, environmental...
We’re all gonna get old someday — there’s no getting around it. Sure, you’ll have the privilege of saying whatever you want and getting generous discounts on stuff, but otherwise, aging comes with a whole lotta issues. We’re talking health stuff, obviously. Since this is our money...
Depending on whether or not you were concerned that you haven’t seen a redhead in awhile, or were perhaps preparing to throw a “Sorry About Your Looming Extinction, Gingers” festival, this news may affect you differently: Redheads are not, in fact, dying out. Gingers, those genetically quirky...
We’ve written before about how to protect your skin against wintry weather. But because winter officially blows, frigid temperatures can also wreak havoc on your hair and scalp. To help you help your hair survive the winter, we asked hairstylist Natalie Rose Dixon for some tips: Easy...
