You may not have heard of Kristen Roupenian, but you’ve probably read her writing. On a winter day in 2017, Kristen’s short story “Cat Person” was published on The New Yorker’s website. While the title is vague and ordinary, the story certainly isn’t.
“Cat Person” quickly took the internet by storm. It was the fictional piece that had everybody talking. I remember reading it in the early hours before work and being struck by how strange,
The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Graves follows the lives of college sweethearts, Annika and Jonathan. Annika is very shy, awkward and bookish. But when she meets Jonathan in chess club, something in her changes. They quickly bond and become inseparable.
But something happens between them that severs the relationship and sends them their separate ways. That is until ten years later when they run into each other at a grocery store(in the big city of Chicago nonetheless!).
As a society, we like teasing men when they have a cold. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been one to poke fun at men and their “man colds“. But, due to unfortunate circumstances, I now see things in a new light.
It’s no secret that when men are sick, they are far less likely to go to the doctor than women. In fact, 60% of men avoid doctor visits.
I’m all for eco-friendly brands, so when Paperless Post reached out to me for a collaboration…I was excited to try it. Paperless Post is a website that helps you create and virtually send beautiful, clever, and customizable cards, flyers, and invitations. Unlike traditional greeting card companies, their focus is on sending high-quality messages through email or social media rather than snail mail.
What I love about Paperless Post is that it has a real feel to it.

The mid-twenties to early-thirties is a confusing time. Some of us may be looking for homes in Indianapolis, while the rest of us don’t exactly know what we’re looking for. If you fall into the latter category, you may be suffering from a quarter-life crisis.
I’m possibly the least qualified person ever to give advice on quarter-life crises seeing as I’ve been going through one for the last year or so.
Note: I am not a psychiatrist nor do I play one on t.v. so please remember that my advice is just advice and should be followed at your discretion. If your feelings of sadness go beyond just a funk and at all resemble depression, please seek out professional help.
No one is happy 100% of the time. And really, it’s delusional to expect yourself to be because sometimes life just SUCKS.
If you’re somehow unfamiliar with ghosting, consider yourself lucky. Ghosting is the act of disappearing on someone you were dating, talking to, or in a relationship with. It occurs when a romantic prospect or partner decides to cut off all communication with the other person. Sometimes, you can see it coming while other times it happens when you least expect it. Regardless of how or why it happened, there’s no denying that it’s an inconsiderate and cowardly way of ending things.
The Nick Box is a quarterly subscription service full of all things Nick nostalgia. Whether it be a plush of your favorite 90’s Nick character, apparel that allows you to cosplay them, or coasters in the shape of Rugrats, The Nick Box is full of fun, nostalgic, and sometimes useful items.
The Nick Box first debuted in the summer of 2016 and has created four fun-filled boxes since.
When some people think of Chippendales, they think of attractive men mindlessly dancing around wearing nothing more than briefs and a collar bow tie. But, the Chippendales experience is sooo much more than that! After attending a Chippendales show in Indianapolis earlier this month, I have newfound respect and admiration for the Chippendales men. Don’t get me wrong, I love eye candy just as much as the next girl, but the men who make up Chippendales have a hell of a lot more to offer than a pretty face and perfectly sculpted abs.

Hello and welcome back to my thoughts!
Today, I have a new makeup review to share with you brought to you by Covergirl! As a CoverGirl Insider member, I was given the opportunity to try CoverGirl’s newest product,
If someone told you that you could make extra money online, what’s the chances you would believe them? Naturally, you would probably be a bit skeptical and/or fearful that you would fall into a scheme. And while there are many schemes out there that you should be wary of, there are also some easy and safe ways to earn money online. Unlike most schemes, none of these methods I’m about to reveal to you require your credit card number or other super confidential information.
If you’re the type of person who loves The Walking Dead and/or would celebrate Halloween year-round, Zombie Burger + Drink Lab is your kind of food joint! Although I’ve visited Zombie Burger once before, I recently made another visit that reminded me why I love this restaurant so much!
Other than the food, one of the best things about Zombie Burger +Drink Lab is the ambiance. When you arrive at the restaurant in Des Moines,
Once, I shamelessly sent a text to a guy that said, “Show me your soul instead of your selfies.”
As expected, he quickly replied with a confused “Lol…what?!”
Although my text might have been worded strangely, or maybe was just plain weird, my underlying message still stands. I wanted to see more of him, but what I wanted to see had nothing to do with his looks.
I wanted to know his biggest secrets,
Many of us can’t afford a nutrition expert if it isn’t covered by our insurance. Thankfully, The Bloated Belly Whisperer by Tamara Duker Freuman provides us with valuable answers to our major bloating questions.
The Bloated Belly Whisperer is a medical book written by digestive and nutrition expert, Tamara Duker Freuman. Unlike some doctors who are eager to prescribe supplements, surgery, or medication, Tamara prefers to take a more natural approach first.
As a bleach blonde, I’m often prone to having yellow tones in my hair. Purple shampoo has been a lifesaver the many years I’ve been coloring my hair blonde. But, sometimes purple shampoo is too harsh on my hair and just isn’t enough to get the job done. I was super intrigued when I received the opportunity to try Bond Angel Thermal Blond Anti Frizz Leave-in Spray. Though it’s a brand I’m unfamiliar with, the claims it made for blonde hair really interested me.
I love memoirs. Even if I’m unfamiliar with the person prior to reading their memoir, I always find the story of someone’s life fascinating. If it wasn’t intrusive, I’d ask everyone what their story is and listen intently as they told it to me. There’s just something special about hearing others’ experiences and either learning from them or matching them to your own.
Just like all of us, Tanya Marquardt has her own unique story to tell.
Anyone who knows me knows just how much I love my cat. My cat, Pandy has been with me for nearly 10 years now. Yes, 10 YEARS! At 9.6 years old, he’s technically already considered middle-aged and when he turns 10 this upcoming March, he’ll practically be a senior citizen.
Thankfully, my cat seems to be aging gracefully. He’s playful, curious, and still relatively active for his age. However, just like with people,
