In a world where consumers are constantly bombarded with new fees – from banking to data overage on a cellphone plan – the last thing I want to do is pay to be a customer. Remember when it used to be good enough just to spend your hard-earned money with a company? That’s not sufficient nowadays.
Mexico has always held a special place in my travel dreams, a vibrant tapestry of culture, history and breathtaking landscapes. While I’d explored its buzzing cities and pristine beaches, I yearned for an experience that would connect me with its natural beauty and perhaps, something a little more adventurous.
It was the haircut seen -- and mocked -- around the world.
I'm not into jewelry and my fiance is upset I won't wear my engagement ring, even as a necklace on a chain. He takes it personally and thinks I don't want people knowing I'm taken.
We’re constantly told that higher education is the key to a better future, a thriving society and personal fulfillment. Essentially, it's painted as a public good that benefits everyone. So, why in the world does it cost more than a down payment on a house these days?
As a self-proclaimed dessert enthusiast, I'm always trying to elevate classic treats. Lately, I've been obsessed with perfecting the humble ice cream sandwich. (Cuz it's been hella hot here in WeHo.)
I strongly believe that parents should be held accountable for feeding their children, both at home and at school. Schools should focus on providing a quality education, not becoming a substitute for responsible parenting.

It cost him $20 and he's never showing his face there again!
I won a lot of money but don't want anyone knowing because everyone will be asking me for cash. How do I spend my money without everyone knowing I'm practically rich now?
It seems like every time I open my phone, I'm bombarded with another celebrity announcing their new podcast. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good podcast. I find them informative, entertaining and a great way to pass the time.
I don't know about you, but I've noticed a peculiar phenomenon engulfing our lives: we've become utterly, irrevocably, photo crazy. It's not just about capturing special moments anymore; it feels like we're documenting every single mundane breath we take. And frankly, I'm starting to wonder if this endless stream of digital documentation is actually enriching our lives, or just creating a massive, overwhelming digital black hole.
As a kid, did you ever pour chocolate syrup into your cereal to make it chocolate milk with your Lucky Charms? Anyone? Anyone?? OK, just me. Whatever.
The demands to remain amazingly pretty as a Buff Boy are just... ugh... sometimes it's too much pressure.
We live in a hyper-connected world, a world seemingly glued to our screens, endlessly scrolling through the curated realities presented by social media. It’s become so ingrained in our daily lives that the mere suggestion of its absence might be met with outrage and cries of censorship. But I ask you, have we truly considered the potential benefits of a society unshackled from the grip of these platforms? Would outlawing social media, as radical as it sounds, really be a bad thing?

I’ve been a silent observer (and occasionally, a bewildered participant) in a particular brand of human interaction that honestly, just tickles my funny bone. I’m talking about the high-drama, low-effort tactics people employ when they want to end an argument, or rather, declare an argument over, usually with themselves as the undisputed victor.
Two things you don't normally combine: coffee and soup... until now! Really. Don't give me that look.
Yeah, yeah, I should probably leave the food commentary to our resident chef, Ben. But I'm taking a break from reviewing the usual fitness, tech and lifestyle products for something that made my mouth really happy. Like, really happy!
Lately, I've had this nagging thought, this ever-present question bubbling beneath the surface of every news report and political commentary I consume. It’s a thought that, frankly, leaves me more confused than ever about how our government actually works, and I suspect I’m not alone.
Hold the presses, put down those lukewarm lattes and gather ‘round. There's another Buff Boy scandal brewing -- pun definitely intended.
My partner never had an interest in politics or protests. Lately he's been jumping into online fights with people on social media. He seems to get a kick out of riling people up but it's bringing out a new side of him that I don't like. How do I tell him to lay low and stop being a shit disturber?
