August 30, 2019 at 01:00AM by CWC No matter how long or short your given relationship is, there are likely certain topics you’d rather not discuss.

August 29, 2019 at 11:24PM by CWC As the poets Nazareth sang in the ’70s, love hurts and love scars (ooh, love hurts, ooh). Yes, getting rejected does not feel good. When you’re dating rejection is, unfortunately, just part of life. You’re not going to have a mutual connection with

August 29, 2019 at 10:18PM by CWC In sixth grade, I begged my mom to buy me a laser pointer at Staples. Overnight, I become the best presenter among my peers. Not because the super-cool tool elevated my social status (it didn’t), but because the pointer made me want to rehearse

August 29, 2019 at 10:00PM by CWC I’ve heard a lot of complaints about deodorant over the past few years. “It doesn’t work,” “it’s sticky and gross,” and “it gets all over my clothes” are among the most common. But recently, two separate people brought an entirely new D.O. issue
The surprising ways sugar could mess with your gut
August 29, 2019 at 09:23PM by CWC When it comes to maintaining overall health and wellness, nothing’s hotter right now than the gut.

August 29, 2019 at 08:00PM by CWC My legs are always sore and tight, thanks to all the boot camps, running, and dog walking I task them with. I try everything I can to loosen them up, from taking a Theragun to my quads to stretching in every single position—but I’ve
