When my relationship started, my partner had one piercing and one tattoo. Over the years he's gotten more and more of each. Now he's got so many that it's becoming gross. How do I get him to stop?
Ready to pork? Eat some meat! This pulled pork barbecue recipe is a low-and-slow cook. It's mostly hands off in a slow cooker so you can enjoy the smell as it makes you hungrier and hungrier. I recommend this one with some barbecue sauce and a bottle of beer!
I've never grasped the appeal of putting pictures of loved ones on your desk at work. And I mean, never. Even before the days of smartphones, when you really did go most of the day – gasp – without seeing them. It always struck me as… odd.
You think coffee is getting expensive? Look up the Ember Mug 2 online. That's not a tariff price!
As a traveler and a lover of all things science, I was thrilled to visit the Arizona Science Center in Phoenix. This interactive museum is a must-see for anyone visiting the area and I was eager to explore its many exhibits and offerings -- including the giant colon.
My partner and I just got back from our first vacation together. I was excited about us getting away and spending time alone. The problem is that he insisted on broadcasting everything on social media. From the airport to the airplane to the hotel to each plate of food to every activity on the trip, he seemed more focused on capturing the content for an audience rather than living in the moment with me. It was annoying and I felt disrespected. How do I put my foot down so it doesn't happen again? Because at this point I don't want to travel with him anymore.
I love a good game show. There's something undeniably thrilling about watching ordinary people test their knowledge or luck against incredible odds for life-changing money. But lately, I find myself genuinely annoyed by one particular element: the contestants themselves.
I already feel you rolling your eyes at this one. Hey, by now you've figured out my recipes are totally unconventional -- and that's what makes them fun!
Collin is known as a diva for his nighttime routine. (Remember, we're in a unique situation at Buff Loft that we live with our co-workers so we know more about each other than the average colleagues.)
I’ve been a fan of Michelle Obama for as long as I can remember. From the moment she stepped onto the national stage as first lady, I was captivated.
As a music lover, I'm always on the lookout for the next great sound experience. I recently got my hands on the JBL Go 4. This little guy promises big sound in a ridiculously portable package so I was eager to put it to the test. After a week of using it everywhere from the kitchen counter to the backyard pool, I'm ready to share my verdict.
Let me preface this by saying I’m not here to throw shade, nor am I here to sing praises. I’m simply here to confess a profound and persistent bewilderment that has only grown stronger with each passing news cycle, each social media explosion, and each casual conversation about a certain global superstar. I’m talking, of course, about Taylor Swift.
Yes, chocolate bacon cupcakes. Hear me out. Yeah, I kinda love bacon so I tried it out.
After a full day of running all over Indianapolis, I was long due for a relaxing sit... and some wine. As the clouds rolled in and offered some relief from the sweltering sun, the team at Old World Gondoliers welcomed me with a song... and some ice cream. I loved both!
I’ve witnessed it too many times, and frankly, it’s a bizarre spectacle that never fails to frustrate me to my core.
If you still have cable TV, you've undoubtedly seen the commercial for Navage. It's the blue and white device people put up their nose to drain their sinuses. OK, so maybe it's described a little more eloquently than that in the ads but you know what I mean if you've seen it.
My partner recently noticed that I still follow my ex on social media. He insists that I unfollow but I don't see it to be an issue. Should I be more concerned that he's trying to control me or is it jealousy that could end up being toxic to the relationship?
Here at Buff Loft, we all have our quirks. Somehow Collin loses shoes (or a shoe -- how do they separate?). Gabe seems to always have more used coffee cups on his desk than anyone else. As for outside the office, Drew has made a name for himself for all the wrong reasons.
I've gone on a couple of rants about the debate we have in society over the custom of tipping. It seems like everywhere we go, we're expected to pay for the product or service AND pay more to show appreciation for it.
It's a spring of science at Lafayette Science Museum. When I heard there is a virtual reality exhibit, I knew I would have fun. I'd never strapped on a VR headset before but once I did, I couldn't take it off.
As I sit here, reflecting on my experiences as an American, I am reminded of the peculiar phenomenon that seems to permeate our culture: the unwavering conviction that our country is the best in the world.
A childhood friend is getting married. We were close going through school but later in life he became better friends with my older brothers because they share the same interests. I've lost touch with him but he still hangs out with my brothers and he comes to our family get togethers. My brothers and parents are invited to his wedding but I'm not. Should I say something to my former friend?
There are few culinary pairings I love as much as chocolate and Buff coffee. They just belong together, don't they? That rich bitterness of coffee perfectly complements the sweet depth of chocolate. And if you're like me, constantly looking for easy ways to satisfy a sweet craving that feels a little bit gourmet, then keep reading for my utterly addictive chocolate espresso dip.
In one afternoon I got signed up for three reward programs. I certainly wasn’t pressured into joining but I did feel like I was a bad customer for not being aware of them in the first place.
