Saturday Flashback: Mary Kate and Ashley Geography
In elementary school, all the subjects are taught as brief overviews rather than extensive lessons.

15 Awesomely Nostalgic 90′s Lunch Boxes
Today it’s all about what car you drive, what bag you carry, or what your phone is capable of doing, but back in the day, it was all about what you brought to the table– the lunch table, that is.

And even though we see ourselves brush our own teeth everyday (hopefully…), we’d rather look at pictures of our fave stars doing the same. Bradley Cooper, I will watch you brush your teeth all day long. Better yet, I’ll do it for you.
If You Like This Expensive Store, You’ll Love This Cheap Store
I’m going to be honest with you — my first thought after watching that Shopaholic film was ‘so this means if I got a credit card, I could have amazing clothes like that too?’ Definitely not the point, as every person I shared my revelation with was quick to point out.

8 Crazy Unhealthy Diets That You Should Avoid
When it comes to losing weight, some people are desperate enough to try anything. Even though it’s well-known that committing to a healthy lifestyle of eating right and exercising will give you slow, but ultimately successful results, it doesn’t stop people from jumping the gun and buying into ridiculous diet fads — most of which are probably more unhealthy than being overweight anyway.
