If you say you haven't done this, you're lying
The trend nowadays is that everything is offensive and everyone should be offended by everything. But for those of us who don’t have a stick up our… well, I’ll get to the point.
My partner's body odor is too much
Normally my partner smells great but there are times when he doesn't think to wear deodorant and has a noticeable odor. Like, noticeable. Really noticeable. It's a turnoff but how do I tell him he smells without hurting his feelings?
Set sail for an iconic adventure
A trip to San Francisco wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Golden Gate Bridge. While most tourists long to drive or even walk across it, I decided to go underneath with our friends at Adventure Cat Sailing Charters on Pier 39.
Obviously fake hair and lashes make you look ridiculous
There are certain fashion and beauty trends that leave me scratching my head so vigorously, I’m worried I’ll give myself whiplash. And at the top of that list, vying for the coveted "Most Perplexing" award, are certain iterations of fake hair and… well, let’s call them "statement" eyelashes. My brain genuinely just doesn't compute. It's not judgment (yes, it is), it’s pure, unadulterated, polite bewilderment. And judgment. Not gonna lie.
Full moon Buff'ed cocktail
Yes, I'm known as the Buff chef but I also love mixing a good drink. When those two worlds collide -- AND include Buff Boy Brewing coffee in the process -- hold onto your beans cuz we're headed for some fun!
Put this on your radar
As a car enthusiast (I actually just got some new wheels today!), I love the gadgets that I'd never heard of and don't need. But, sometimes one comes along and I realize I did need it, I just never knew I needed it. And living in the Los Angeles area, this one was worth it.
This is what your work desk tells me about you
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.
My partner wants us to be nudists at home
My partner likes walking around the house naked and wants me to join in. I don't like the idea because we have dogs and their heads come right up to our... you know. It's not that they do anything but I just don't want my bits dangling in their faces. I don't want his doing that either. What's the compromise?
Never forget this tribute
I'm always on the lookout for destinations that offer more than just a scenic backdrop. I crave experiences that delve into history, spark contemplation and leave a lasting impact. (But, as you've seen here, I love a fun zoo visit with animals!) That's precisely what I found during my recent visit to the Indianapolis War Memorial, a truly exceptional landmark dedicated to honoring the sacrifices made by Hoosiers in service to our nation.
He built it, they came... and almost crapped their pants
The joys of homeownership! Ben, bless his heart, as his fellow southern folk would say. He was practically bursting with pride.
I always hope obnoxious game-show contestants lose
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.
Powered on the go
When we travel, the last thing we want to worry about is bringing one more device, one more cord, one more cord for that one more device. But, hear me out. This one is worth it... and you barely need any space for it.
I don't understand the world's Swift obsession
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.
A tower of vehicles? Really? Yup!
The irony struck me immediately. A guy named Lane having a motor museum in Nashville. And that's the case for Jeff Lane who started this local exhibition, called Lane Motor Museum.
I gag when he makes me eat it
My partner has taken up cooking but he's not good at it. I pretend that I like his food but I really don't. Do I keep lying or do I tell him it sucks?
Why do politicians thank each other at disaster relief pressers?
I’ve witnessed it too many times, and frankly, it’s a bizarre spectacle that never fails to frustrate me to my core.
Buff'ed Belgian waffles
Wake up to delicious!
Trickling tranquility
Many people are into meditation or relaxation music (or both) to chill out at the end of the day -- or even to reduce stress during a trying day. I've tried 'em, they're not my thing.
He really tried that at a family wedding? What a butt!
Collin is definitely no Gabe when it comes to pitiful dance moves but he fancies himself a showman when it comes to weddings. His reputation for, uh, unique dance moves precedes him. We've all witnessed the… enthusiasm… he brings to Buff Loft.
Why should I tip a contractor setting their own rates?
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.
My mom is too opinionated about my relationship
My mom is too opinionated about my relationship. She's always asking questions and sticking her nose in. I'm starting to lie because I don't feel like telling her everything she wants to know. I'm avoiding her calls and pretending I don't get her texts. I'm tempted to cut her off entirely. What should I do?
Swimming with dolphins... in the ocean (WILD VIDEO!)
There's a whole lot of controversy about swimming with dolphins that have been captured and are owned by people.
Will I stay after I get your cookies?
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.
High-tech (and high-priced) skincare
If there's one thing we're known for around these parts it's our hair and skin. And that skin has seen its share of needles to maintain our famous plastic Hollywood faces!
