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!
Kids and pets should be scared of their parents
I often hear people recoil at the idea that children and pets should have a degree of “fear” when it comes to their primary caregiver. "They should love you unconditionally!" they cry. "Fear is abusive!" But I’m here to tell you that this perspective often fundamentally misunderstands what that "fear" truly entails, and why it's absolutely crucial for establishing respect and, ultimately, a healthier, safer dynamic.
My partner wants to combine money... but I have a lot more
My partner wants to combine our bank account/money but I make significantly more than him. Should I set ground rules about how he can spend?
Coffee-infused carrots
Don't be so quick to judge a recipe by its title! Read the whole recipe and then decide... after you put the food in your mouth!
Being an animal seems like a better life sometimes
I previously thought about what it would be like to live as a dog. Now, as I'm sitting in the backyard of Buff Loft in WeHo, a squirrel running around has me thinking about animal life again.
Wait, sorry, I'm feeding a ferocious WHAT that can kill me?
On the way to Zoosiana in Broussard, La., near Lafayette, I was told we'd be spending a few hours with the owner of the zoo. Owner of a zoo? A private citizen can own a zoo? That can't be right. But, oh, it is! George Oldenburg is the owner and director of Zoosiana and if there's one person I've ever met who loves animals, it's George.
Wake up and Hatch a sleep plan
Let's talk sleep. With everything that's happening in the world, more and more people are saying it's hard for them to sleep... or blink... or stop shaking! But in all seriousness, studies show sleep is one of the most important parts of our day.
My partner thinks laws don't apply to him
My partner is subscribing to the "sovereign citizen" mindset where rules and laws don't apply to him. He's not a bad guy (not committing crimes) but the whole philosophy is that rules don't apply to him so he believes that cops would have no right to arrest him for anything or that if he's charged with something he can beat it because he's his own citizen. I have this feeling he'll start to challenge authority to make his point if he ever comes up against law enforcement or someone. What should I do?
Millionaire celebs begging us to donate to the cause is rich
I find it hard to ignore the growing trend of celebrities using their influence to push fundraisers and encourage people to donate, often without revealing how much they themselves are contributing.
Buff'ed brownie mocha trifle
Looking for the perfect dessert to impress your guests or simply elevate your weeknight treat? I got you! My brownie mocha trifle is a layered masterpiece that combines the rich, fudgy goodness of brownies with the invigorating aroma and flavor of coffee, all tied together with a luscious creamy filling. And to take this trifle to the next level, we're incorporating a key ingredient: our famous Buff Boy Loca Mocha coffee. Duh!
Monster Cookies & Elbow: It's Halloween time!
Monster Cookies & Elbow. Leo nailed it!
Do it or shut up
Every day it seems like the world (and by that, I mean Twitter -- or whatever it's called now) is coming to an end. And because of that, I shake my head and remember how sad society is with its reliance on social media.
I have seen the light!
Let's be real: gloomy, rainy days in spring can be depressing. If you're not fortunate to live in sunny California, you might not experience the rays like we do in West Hollywood.
He was rubbed the wrong way
Gabe, the pretty boy, is known for pampering himself. Whether that's carrying on a friendship with his botox injector just to get discounts or grabbing a last-minute massage because someone cancelled at the last minute and the spa offered a discount for a short-notice session, Gabe will do anything to spoil himself (on the cheap).
Ditch the scowl, bring back the smile
I've always heard that New Yorkers are rude. They have a certain aggressive way of talking and it gives a brash vibe to outsiders. Over here in California, I've always thought the sunshine and weather made people naturally happier. I dunno. I think I might be wrong about Cali -- at least nowadays, anyway.
Will we see any cowboy animals?
As an animal lover I couldn't wait to check out Houston Zoo. As a matter of fact, during conversation with other locals who asked me what I was doing while in town, each of them agreed that the zoo is a great place to check out.
