Speak up and unleash the full potential of the sensual, spiritual woman within you!
If you’ve been following the news, you’ve heard of Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student who testified before Democratic members of the House of Representatives on why she believed free contraception is essential. She got a beat down of a lashing from Rush Limbaugh who called her a slut and compared her to a prostitute. Rush sent out a public apology after his rant caused him to lose several sponsors for his radio show.
This story represents on a large scale the deep wound of shame that so many feel when they speak up. Shame is the feeling that “something is wrong with me.” Shame pops up in three main areas for women: in speaking up and using our voice, in feeling comfortable with our bodies and our sensuality and in the way we mother and raise our children.
Good-bye, walks of shame. Hello, romantic breakfasts together!
With school back in session, here's what you college gals need to know
By Natasha Burton
It's 7 a.m. and you’re mind is dull with the first realization of hangover. Mascara chunks clog your vision. The guy lying next to—who you were really excited to dance with, make-out with, and go home with last night—breathes deeply, eyes closed. Okay, what now?
Girl, it’s time to get your butt back to your dorm room.
Plus the walk of shame and secrets to a happy marriage.
Too early to sleep together? Turn that walk of shame into a walk of pride. Losing friends when you start dating someone new. Sharing a bathroom... with a boy. The ten-year guy wedding time line. Falling in love with a stripper. Twelve great marriage tips. Which dynamic duo are you and yours? Does back to school mean back to creepin'? Would you do a sex tape to save your career? The weird world of male porn stars. And science says older men are getting better looking, whew, just in time.
"Meggings," the golden ratio of female beauty, and hot guys with babies.
10 must-click love and relationship links: the golden ratio of faces, hot guys with babies, the five qualities of a good boyfriend, the decade's most memorable sex tapes, and love lessons from indie films.
It's tempting, but you really shouldn't. Don't. Here's some cab money.
In our younger, dumber days the unnecessary regrettable hook-up added proud, brag-worthy hair to our chest. We'd gladly regale in last night's mistakes over a round of brunch mimosas and a chorus of cackles. Of course, we'd swear on our eggs to never make such a trashtastic mistake again. Then we'd go home, sleep it off and do it again. And again. Alas, time makes everything old. Now we're ready to grab a Bloody Mary, discuss the headlines and travel the road less traveled: Self Control. If you too are cut out of the same impulsive cloth, we'll give you some pointers on calling it a night when you should. 1.) No ex sex. 2.) No walk of shame. 3.) Read a book. 4.) Do the opposite of your instincts.
