You know how people on weight loss journeys talk about things just “clicking” for them? I think I just had that moment! It turns out that eating out three meals a day is actually not good for your health! I know! I was shocked, too. I figured I was safe “leaving it to the professionals,” […]

The sweetest thing about Christmas is the eager anticipation of children. A gift like the Razor Scooter prolongs that deliciously delayed gratification even after it’s unwrapped.

Hinkle tapped the Formica at the counter with the 18/10 stainless steel fork. “Hey, Dollface, is the manager around?” Simon Dollface, the lead chef, nodded back at his friend. “He’ll be just a second, Hinkle.

People often think ironically ugly holiday sweaters are a recent development in yuppie culture, but in truth many cultures across several continents have used some version of the holiday sweater for centuries: The Gaels of ancient Ireland decorated their chests with a rudimentary paint made from the sap of trees, drawing reindeer-like shapes.
