For the first time in my life, I'm taking something that could appear under the broad definition of a slimming pill.
I'm not one for quick-fix weight loss solutions. I don't believe in fat burners that aren't essentially eating less and exercising more. I AM a yo-yo dieter, with a tendency to try and go cold turkey and then binge. I don't crash diet, but my body is just not used to a normal reduction in calories, so I overeat in response to perceived deprivation.

A friend of mine broke up with her boyfriend last week. They’d been together a year, and while all parties have since come to the conclusion that it was for the best, it was pretty traumatic for her for a while. I’ve been doing my bit as the dutiful friend - listening, giving advice, handing her tissues, handing her margaritas - the usual.

Last week I was arrested and spent 24 hours in jail for driving with a license I didn’t even realize was suspended. I spent a majority of that time in the general population of the women’s wing of the Orleans Parish Prison in a cozy bright orange jump suit with about 90 other women. It was the most surreal experience of my life.

According to some researchers, pet names are one of the many indicators that you're in a strong intimate relationship. Apparently calling your honey "woobie" every time he doesn't something nice for you is more than just vomit inducing: it's healthy.
According to Carol Bruess, the Director of Family Studies at University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota,

It's impossible to be prepared for every scenario the world can throw at you, but you can do your best to try. There are a few simple items that can prevent the smallest disaster to the biggest - from a run in your hose to a surprise random hook up, we've got you covered.
I'll admit, this is a pretty comprehensive list, and it may require you to purchase a bigger purse. This list goes beyond the essentials almost every woman carries at some point: chapstick, lotion, condoms, tampons, ...

Eating better is hard. It's especially difficult when you
have a Starbucks, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Sonic and Wienerschnitzel on
every corner. (I kid thee not, from where I'm sitting I can see four of
the aforementioned restaurants from my window.)
You read a lot about how you're supposed to eat a boat load of fruits a day, the idiots models that eat only apples for weeks at a time, and how you're supposed to grab a orange instead of orange flavored sweets.

BitchBuzz HQ is working remotely for the next couple weeks, and I've been lucky enough to spend the weekend in Lake Tahoe, California, enjoying the sun, snow and many pints of Blue Moon.
As skiing, snowboarding and various other outdoor sports are pretty popular here, I've been in and out of different sport shops, and have noticed a trend amongst all the snow gear: hot ass cruisers.

If the current economy meltdown is teaching us anything it’s a few home truths about our spending habits and our bank balances. But as hard as times are, there’s always someone worse off than you.
Thanks to the wonders of modern technology you can indulge in a little schadenfreude from the comfort of your own cardboard box on the street – if these five films happen to be playing in the window of an electrical retailer that hasn’t gone into administration yet.

It’s Mother’s Day in the UK this Sunday, or Mothering Sunday as it’s traditionally called, although to our ears this sounds a lot like ‘smothering Sunday’, which is far too Freudian for comfort. We love our mums, we really do, and only want the best for them, so we’ve got some treats that are just right for her, whoever she is. (For those in the US, please apply basic principles but in two month’s time.)

While browsing around the almighty Dooce's blog, I became distracted by one of the banner ads at the top of her site. There were two female cartoons stood opposite one another, one holding up something that looked like a chicken fillet, declaring that it is "the best invention since the push-up bra!"
