You might be familiar with the whole Oreos-and-milk tradition that seems to be the bedrock of every American childhood.

You might even prefer dunking the monochrome ‘cookies’ into a cooling glass of milk over our traditional, delicious tea and biscuits.

Even if you think that you’re so good in bed that you don’t need it, trust me. A little bit of lube will make a huge difference.

There is, however, an enormous caveat to this message, and that my friends,… Read the full story

But Valentine’s day is a different kettle of fish. Even thoughtful gift givers can be suckered into the traditional Valentine’s pitfalls.

Weirdly, and possibly because they don’t get marketed at every thirty seconds from late January to mid February, women don’t seem to be suckered into this trap. But what… Read the full story

When you follow a diet plan, you expect it to be far more healthy and far less fattening than the grub you were eating before.

Especially when that plan is called Lean In 15.
