But convenience aside, people are starting to wonder about the effects that all the pesticides, preservatives, hormones and other modern chemicals are having on our bodies....

They tell you that breastfeeding burns a ton of calories, but I wasn’t prepared for the fact that, while nursing my son, I actually never felt full. I would finish a plate of food and immediately be thinking about what I would eat next or whether there was dessert in the kitchen (something that did...

Dreams are weird and sometimes downright awful (pregnancy nightmares are the worst!) but I would hate to be one of those people who claim to either never dream or never remember their dream – how boring would that be? These 12+ people definitely don’t have that problem, though after these particular dreams, they might have...

Artists can work for years to create the perfect piece, which probably means it’s super annoying when chance and nature combine to make something amazing at the drop of a hat. But that doesn’t make it any less wonderful for the rest of us – evidenced by the 17 pieces of art below! #17. What...

A new family of giant virus (more on that in a minute) has been discovered in a Japanese hot spring, and its effects on its host are pretty freaking terrifying – like its namesake, it turns its victims to “stone”. Giant viruses are fairly new, with the first one being discovered in the early 2000s....

Writers everywhere are going to want to fist bump masters like Ernest Hemingway, T.S Eliot, Patricia Highsmith, and yes, Mark Twain, and not just for their literary prowess. It’s because they, like us, really loved cats. It’s a fun tidbit about Twain – real name Samuel Clemons – and the truth is that he wasn’t...

Nancy Drew is a heroine that crosses generations – my mother (and grandmother) read The Secret of the Old Clock, my room was full of Nancy Drew Files, and kids today and still connecting with the cheeky, sleuthing teen.
