The videos promote using scented cleansing and deodorant products to freshen your vagina. Let’s get one thing straight up front: Vaginas don’t need cover-up. In fact, douches and other scented products are more likely to cause irritation and infection. The vagina is very good at cleaning itself, so if Summer’s Eve really believed in its tagline, “Hail to the V,” it would leave our vaginas alone. But making money off women’s insecurities about their bodies never grows old for Summer’s Eve. Its newest ads targeting black and Latina women play on racial and ethnic stereotypes in addition to playing on women’s insecuriti...

Old traditions fall victim to market dynamism, integration, and globalization, and our society is the poorer for it. Newer isn’t better — it’s more superficial, less rooted, and less secure. Those who make this type of argument are frequently tempted toward the creation of group rights or privileged statuses for traditional identities, behaviors, or social norms. Oddly, the left has at times agreed on just this critique, and on just these sorts of privileges in response. The authentic past, the authentic identity must be preserved, even at the cost of classical liberal ideas of rights. Marxist critiques of capitalist culture have long made just this point. As Marx himself famously said, industrialis...

The word congruent describes someone who is the same on the outside as they are on the inside,” writes psychotherapist Angela Caughlin in her book, Journaling Through: Unleashing the Power of the Authentic Self: Seven Benefits of Unlocking the Wisdom Within. But, as so many of us know, being congruent is far from easy. It means not caring what others think about you. If you’re a chronic people-pleaser (Hi, my name is Margarita), this might as well be like walking a tightrope. (Yes, it’s that dramatic.) It also means knowing who you are. Sometimes, the simple question of “what do I like” is hard to answer, especially if we’ve spent years deferring to someone else and looking for validation from others. Maybe you knew who you were for...

How are you holding up? Are the festive melodies of Christmas music sounding like a broken record right about now? Is traffic getting to you? Are crowded shopping malls and pushy shoppers trying to get to the head of line pulling on your last strand of patience? Fed up with family obligations and obligatory gift giving? Here is something to embrace. Through the chaos, frustrations, grief and disappointments, there is and will always be peace. It may not be delivered to you on a silver tray, shiny and easy, and beautifully wrapped like a present on Christmas morning. But the joy of everlasting peace regardless of circumstances is worth a whole lot more. While you’re dashing away toward your next event,...

Christmastime is here, and many will be traveling this week to rejoin loved ones and family members. We’ll be traveling too, as we often do during the holidays, to visit with long-distance family. Wouldn’t you like your holidays to be a bit smoother? Me too. So here are some tips to help smooth over your holiday stress and make this time of the year more enjoyable for you and those you’ll be visiting. 1. Plan early. Well, it’s a little late for this one. If your trip isn’t yet planned, I can’t help you. But this is good information for next year, as sometimes people wait until the last minute to plan their travel or where exactly they’ll be and when, when visiting the family. These tips can also help you reduce stress about holid...

New Year’s Eve is a party night extraordinaire for many. But it’s also a time when women can be subjected to unwanted attention from others or carelessness on their part – resulting in unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, even assaults. So, how do women stay safe? Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Women’s Health Educator Shelby Knox. She is an expert in sex ed and women’s issues, and recognizes that “mistakes can happen.” But, she offers up ways to prevent serious setbacks. She’s got some tips that can help keep you from becoming statistics. Last year, Knox wrote Abstinence is the New Feminism (And Other...

My tree is up, my house is decorated and even the outside of my house is all lit up for the holidays. My Christmas shopping is pretty much done and some of the gifts are wrapped. This is a major breakthrough for me. Every Christmas Eve I wish I had two more weeks to get ready, not this year though. In the midst of the busiest season I have ever known, I somehow managed to pull it all together. Being organized doesn’t come easy for me. I’m one of those people who does better when I have more stress and a lot to accomplish; it makes me focus. Another successful Christmas that I can remember was the one I celebrated in the middle of chemotherapy. I was working, I was bald and I was chemo challenged – that’s what I call being physically weaken...

Burk, a 17-year-old Los Angeles girl, was in the Wilshire Place neighborhood picking up paperwork for her mother, who taught at the Southwestern University School of Law. About 3 in the afternoon on a quiet street, Burk was approaching her car when she was confronted by a 50-year-old transient staying in a nearby drug treatment center… Read the rest on AOL: Lily Burk: Sweet 17. and Dead.

David Sedaris, “When You Are Engulfed In Flames” Recently I picked up David’s — ever since I saw him at Massey Hall, I feel as if we are almost on first name basis — latest book, and this line jumped right out at me. I knew there would be a post that would be perfect for this quote. I know this is really juvenile, however, this is this one guy who once spoke to me.

They have been great stories, innovative ideas and many chuckles, also. Sometimes I think we share more deeply or at least as deeply when we laugh together as when we cry together. I thought it would be life affirming to share some of our special holiday memories. You know, those times that remain in our hearts and minds and stand out when the word “Christmas” is mentioned? How about if I start things off by sharing a few of my memories with all of you? As the youngest of four daughters, I remember we always opened our gifts on Christmas Eve. We had a big dinner, from which I figured out later, my dad always had to excuse himself for some reason; then he would ...

Maybe some education provisions about the law too? Now who wants to draft some model legislation that could be introduced state-by-state? Ambitious, yes. Needed? Yes!! - Next, a breastfeeding advocacy message that strikes a balance and informs pregnant women and new mothers without blaming those that do not breastfeed for whatever reason — a message that says, “Breastfeeding has so many benefits to mother and baby that we would like to help as many mothers and babies as possible. Here’s how to receive support and information.” - I would love to see more pediatr...

But when I discovered that Crema de Fruta is a breeze to make, it became my favorite and no Christmas came without it since then. Oh my God! Two days and it’ll be Christmas Eve. But family arriving Friday to complete our home, we couldn’t help for the feasts to start. I sort of “practiced” making Crema de Fruta to make sure that I make it right making on Christmas Eve. He he. That was just an excuse of course, I just couldn’t wait. I keep coming back to this post to remind me not to pig out. I’m trying so hard to keep myself from doing just that. LOL! So, what’s you’re favourite goodie or dessert for Christmas? Happy eating!!

["Adam and Eve" and Pinch Me] I contemplate the many ways I have unwittingly tortured my children since babyhood. All those supposedly innocent little ditties, nursery rhymes and games. We all know them, "round and round the garden," "pinch punch, 1st of the month," "the incy winsy" spider,’…….an endless list. Each and every one of them, has it’s own unique twist of a flick knife, but I didn’t know that at the time. Anyone with more than one brain cell would have cottoned on [translation = realized] that although I tried to engage my children, what I was really doing was beating them with a very large, noisy, prickly stick.
