The relationship between mothers and daughters is unique: a fun, chaotic, changing, and everlasting bond. You know those pairs of mothers and daughters who look so much alike they could be sisters? They are an unusual occurrence, but a wonderful one. We are a lot more used to seeing conflicting relationships between women, and even more so between mothers and daughters, almost as if they were expe

A good fit is sometimes the most important thing. Buying clothes can definitely become an obsession, especially with social media showing you new trends every day and stores changing to new aesthetics every week. It is easy to fall into consumerism and start to buy and buy even when you know you won't be able to wear every piece of clothing you are buying. Soon it becomes impossible to stop; we wa

We thank the helpful coworkers who fix small problems for the team and make the workday easier. Oh, you thought you were just getting your coworker's computer working? Nope, you were applying for a new position. Nobody tells you when these extra roles become permanent . You discover it when someone brings you a spreadsheet you have never seen and says, "You're good with Excel." Well, you know how

Many homeowners will defend their yard with as much dedication as a wild animal staking out their territory. A person's yard can mean many things to them; it is their own little patch of the great outdoors , a space to relax, or a way to show off to neighbors and passersby their enviable landscaping skills. Above all else, it is a piece of land they can call their own, and within reason, they shou

What makes parents want to become parents? The excellent life lessons they didn't expect to receive. You don't have to be a parent to know that parenting is hard. Just look at a parent, it shows. Fresh out of university, I took a temporary job as a tutor, helping kids with English and History class. Up to that point in my life, when it came to parenting, I had only ever been a child. All I knew wa

Nothing puts you in a better mood than the smell of freshly baked cookies on a cold day of fall. For many of us, cookies are not just a dessert: they are a part of our childhood memories. Coming home from a long day of school, or after playing with our friends, our moms would give us a big glass of milk (chocolate milk, in my case) and present a freshly baked batch of cookies. Those cookies had th

Apparently, your bladder has to wait until everyone finishes their sandwich… Every workplace has its own rules when it comes to lunch hours and breaks. Some of them are flexible and don't really set a schedule for employees, while others require specific times when people leave and then get back to work. 'Whatever floats your boat', they say… But what happens when this starts affecting your basic

Community connects us all, and memes are a way to achieve that. Community is incredibly important, and if you don't have it, it's worth taking stock and seeing what you can do about that. Community serves us in so many ways. It helps us have a greater sense of meaning in our lives. If we're only ever living for ourselves, then that can be a pretty lonely existence. Though being alone can be a wond

Finally, the crossover we didn't want or think we needed is here! More often than not, people who are fans of superhero comic books are also big fans of Sci-Fi franchises, fantasy, and truly anything that shows some real imagination and creativity was put into the story. The weirder the characters and the adventures they go through, the better. And the fan communities that are formed around these

What do therapists think of memes ? Laughter is the best medicine, emotionally. We all know that; it's a saying that goes back, with some even saying a version of it can be found in the bible . Laughing isn't going to cure cancer, but having a stress-positive attitude has proven to help. Being joyful and laughing helps encourage the production of natural chemicals in the body that help you with wh

The absurdity of being human might be the only thing that has prevailed The internet turned classical paintings that were once considered culturally elevated into a language for expressing the most ordinary feelings. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, or in this case, a painting. And it's much easier to identify with an ancient depiction of suffering than to actually articulate what's h

Isn't it too soon to feel nostalgic? Being a millennial is so back , even though I thought it had never left. I know it feels like yesterday, but the release of Baby by Justin Bieber was more than ten years ago, guys. It's been sixteen years, to be precise. So yes, we're allowed to feel nostalgic. And also, we're entitled to talk about it, as Gen Zers are trying to appropriate it as their own. The

These memes are perfect for Disney fans, adults and children alike. I don't know if I'll see Hexed , the next Disney animated feature, in theaters. I probably should, because I want to encourage Disney to make original movies instead of pumping out sequels because they're the only things that make money. I have a couple of weeks to decide whether to see this movie, so in the meantime, I'll enjoy s

Can we rewind to vacation, please? Yes, we get it. Vacation time is long gone, and we aren't going on one any time soon. Now, it's time to focus on work, school, getting back to the gym, eating healthy, and all of the things that come with the end of summer. But… sometimes it isn't as easy as it sounds. Or at least for me. I'm usually pretty motivated when summer is over: I'm a Virgo, so a nice ro

There are sinks where you wash your hands, and sinks where you wash your hands very slowly because you're appreciating the tile design. These cool sinks are bringing color and pattern to home decor. It's all fun and pretty until you have to clean it up. The tiles look gorgeous, but I can imagine the patience it would take to keep the grout perfect. With everyday use, toothpaste, and soap, keeping

If there were millions of white T-shirts, would you still find me? 'If we were leaves and couldn't talk, would you still have fallen in love with me?' If you have never heard questions like these, are you sure you are in a relationship? When we are in love, we tend to ask dumb questions that are completely irrational to our partners. We want to be sure that they would have chosen us in every unive

Do you ever wish you were 12 years old again and had all your friends sleeping at your house on a Friday night? I sure do! If there's one thing I miss about my childhood is all the free time on my hands and the possibility to see my friends almost every day. We would come back from school and go all together to one of the girls' houses, spend the whole afternoon there, and sometimes even stay the

Authenticity is the last thing an influencer needs to go viral. This seems to be the conclusion of the sudden push towards AI-generated influencers and their apparently limitless growth capabilities. As AI visuals get more difficult to detect and a larger audience gets more relaxed towards the idea of being entertained by artificial intelligence , the crowded market of short-form content creators

The airport is the only place where people can be absurdly early and still feel like they are going to miss their flight. I have hours. My boarding pass agrees. Yet I'm rushing through the terminal with the urgency of a person whose name is being called over the speakers. By the way, who doesn't panic every time there is an announcement over the speakers? Even if the announcements have nothing to

If you don't want to hang out with one of the people involved in the trip, why bother going in the first place? Some people love saying they are alone because they have strong boundaries or because nobody is up to their standards, but usually it is because they are so annoying that nobody wants to hang out with them. This doesn't only apply to couples and single people; it also applies to family m
