Enjoy Life Gluten-Free Cookies: Thanks, I'll Try.

Nora





Going gluten and dairy free after decades of eating whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, is not easy. See, I love food. I love food so much it's stupid. There is a very short list of Things I Will Not Eat, and it's basically mayonnaise and burgers from McDonald's (those are NOT hamburgers and don't you dare tell me otherwise). I was bred from the foodiest food-snob stock, and so much of my family's identity is wrapped up in our celebration of The Meal. Recalling any night during high school or a visit home from college, I can picture a number of us hanging out in the kitchen, making dinner together. Mom or dad hovers around the stove, while my siblings and I chop vegetables, whisk salad dressing, and steal hunks of rustic bread from the center of the table, swiping them in olive oil. There were usually candles, and fresh herbs from the garden. My parents are a slightly more middle class Williams-Sonoma catalog come to life, is what I'm saying, and it would be obnoxious if they weren't so goddamn nice and the food wasn't so good.

He's So Hot, He's Making Me Sexist

You know who has a fly booty?  Prince Harry.  Of course, if you're in the UK, the royal family is doing everything in their power to prevent you from knowing that.  Lucky for us (nsfw), they can't do a thing about the media that's outside of the Queen's reach.  I love how everyone is blaming Harry's handlers - like he's not a grown-ass man who should know that EVERYONE has camera phones these days!  (Celebitchy

In the mood for some more scandals?  The Cut has a great slideshow of the "50 Most Scandalous Dresses in History."  Ok, they're not all dresses, per se, but a lot of them were very memorable moments in fashion (and pop culture) history.  (The Cut)

This high school valedictorian isn't getting her diploma because she said "hell" in her graduation speech.  Heaven forbid!  (The Gloss)

100% Meh: 100% Pure Red Wine Resveratrol Scrub and Mask

Cindy




I'm a girl who prefers to use anything natural when she can. I don't make my own face scrub or conditioner or cleaning products, but I have been known to slather my head in olive oil (and lately the wonder stuff, coconut oil).

Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find good, natural products. I've looked around at both my local health food store and Target and been unable to find much of anything in the way of facial scrubs. But, after reading Tamatha's plea for us to ditch the apricot scrub we all seem to use, I went on a great Google hunt and came across a brand called 100% Pure.
