We all know what they are. We (ladies) all have them. We know what they’re for and why they’re there. But do we know how to keep them healthy? Sure, we know the parts. We know we should bathe. We know wet bathing suits are bad and vaginal infections are worse, and condoms are very, very good. But do we know how to ward those off? And what we can do to prevent them? I’m not so sure. So I did a little research, and came up with five little known facts about the ways to keep your vajajay healthy. Have a look; you just might learn something.
1. Wear cotton underwear. Tight underwear, especially nylon or lycra, can irritate your vagina and keep the moisture in. But cotton underwear breathes, which allows your vajayjay to breathe, and allows air to circulate. Not only does this help maintain good skin around the area but it also helped to prevent a buildup of sweat and oil which can lead to infections.
2. Never spray it with perfume or body spritzer. These things will irritate your vagina and can lead to an infection. It’s as simple as that. So no scented lotions in or on that area. No perfumes. No body sprays. Not even scented soaps.The best thing you can do to make your vagina smell nice, or rather not smell at all, is clean it with clear, soapless water.
Pro-democracy protests, and the action against them, have become increasingly violent in Syria. Yep, things continue to heat up. (Click here to catch up.) Around 60 people have already died in the conflict. President Bashar Assad tried to appease demands by dissolving his cabinet, but for most of the protesters the move wasn’t enough. In a much-anticipated televised address, many were hopeful that the pres would lift an almost 50-year old emergency law that allows state police too much power. Alas, he did not, instead emphasizing his unrelenting grip on the nation, and the streets became even more flooded with protesters.
One of the most common misconceptions about getting super sexy abs is the idea that you only have to do crunches or ab exercises. False! To get that sleek front side, it’s also important to take care of its opposing muscle: the back.
Your core is comprised of your back and abs, so if you want a strong core (and more body stability) you gotta work everything. In addition, if you have any back pain (from sitting over a computer all day….or doing other things that I won’t ask about), strengthening those muscles will get rid of those problems! Plus, with all these awesome backless dresses and cute bikinis coming out, we can’t neglect these lovely muscles. I mean, backs are sexy!
So here are some easy exercises to really get ready for summer, no gym required. In fact, these moves are so basic you can even do it when you’re passed out on the floor on Saturday afternoon.
So I was reorganizing my book shelf the other day (don’t judge) when I came across some books I hadn’t seen in a while. Judy Blume. Sarah Dessen. Beverly Clearly. The names that defined and redefined my pre-teen and adolescent days. The women that changed my life. The stories that shaped my perspective on everything I know about being a girl. Back in the day, I devoured these novels, soaking up every bit of new information I could get from them. I loved the characters, the stories, the life lessons, and everything in between. But mostly I just loved to read. And I loved to read these novels because I could relate to them so well. (Sounds a lot like my current days reading CollegeCandy, no?)
Young adult fiction defined my childhood more than any episode of Saved by the Bell could ever hope to. So this week I thought I’d pay tribute to my top ten teen novels. These are the ones that really did change my life.
10. P.S. Longer Letter Later. Remember the days of hand written letters? The days before e-mails? The days when you had to know addresses that didn’t have @ in them if you wanted to stay in touch with people? Well, I do. I loved this book so much that my 6th grade BFF and I actually started writing letters to each other. We were in different homerooms. It was almost as bad as being in different states.
9. Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging. Do you know this was actually required reading at my high school? I’m not sure what they were thinking. But I really did love Georgia Nicholson and all her snogging adventures. Especially that whole kissing lesson incident. I remember that very clearly. Read More »
You didn’t leave all your work until Sunday night did you? What!?! You did. That’s okay. No stress. You’ll get it all done. We’re so sure that you’ll get it all done that we’re giving you a few more excuses to procrastinate. This week we’re introducing you to your sassy gay friend. Why? Because he’s the funniest person, like ever.
Most women wear makeup on a daily basis…and unfortunately most women also make beauty blunders on a daily basis. But it’s not their fault; it’s like we’re born with some sort of innate makeup knowledge. As a beauty blogger, I’ve noticed three mistakes pop up again and again on my friends’ faces. So while I can’t offer help for every possible situation, I can help you avoid the three biggest beauty mistakes. Read More »
If you’re on Facebook and haven’t “un-friended” your ex in a fit of rage, then you still have the luxury of knowing when he’s moved on and whom he’s moved on with. We all dread the moment we see an ex (or in my experience my actual boyfriend at the time…yup, true story), tagged in a questionable photo with a new girl, fearing that the dreaded ‘in a relationship’ heart will be the next step.
Of course we secretly hope that this new chica isn’t a Natalie Portman look-alike, but we also hope she isn’t some kind of Ke$ha-inspired hot mess. Because then you have to question everything. Now, your immediate reaction may be to cry because somehow your ex thought this Amy-Winehouse doppleganger had more to offer than you.
But when you actually start to think about it, laughter is probably a better choice. I mean, seriously dude, what were you thinking!? Would you ask the concierge to downgrade your penthouse suite to a closet-size room? Would you ask the flight attendant to bump your first-class seat to coach? Then, Tiger, Tony Parker, Jesse James, and all the skeezy downgraders of the world, why would you prefer a train-wreck over a girl who’s got it together?
After a lot of frustration and hours attempting to “man-alyze” the situation, I have come up with these reasons to explain why guys downgrade. Read More »
Since we’re all in the habit of eating our veggies now, I figured that this week I’d offer up a recipe for my new favorite salad dressing. Trust me, this stuff is absolutely divine, especially on a bed of kale.
