Dear One Guy, How is it so easy for a man to run off with his friends instead of being with his woman? How is it so easy for them to separate their feelings all the time? Deep down, I know my man loves me, but why is it that I put him first and…

I want to respond to a story I read earlier this week that’s been circulating around the Internet. This piece, written by Quiana Storkes, first appeared here and was reposted at Gawker on Tuesday under the headline “The Stay-at-Home Girlfriend Really Can Have it All.” The author outlines the ways in which, as a “stay-at-home-girlfriend,” she cares for her working…
Chia? You mean those fuh-fuh-fuh furry-head potted plants you find in Rite Aid? The ones people give as la-la-last-minute Christmas gifts? Nope. I’m actually talking about the itty bitty seeds of the Salvia hispanica (“chia”) plant that comes from the desert and is related to the mint family. Word has it that Aztecs used them for…
I love to socialize and sip delicious drinks. Last night at New York City’s Empire Room, I was lucky enough to do both. “Lucky” is the perfect word to describe this event—a ladies-only casino night cocktail party organized by the Urban Girl Squad. I may not have won any cash, but I certainly made a…
The minute I found out I was getting to exclusively cover the Fashion Week Finale Trunk Show and Cocktail Party at SideBar, saying I was excited probably can’t begin to cover it. If you haven’t been to SideBAR (and live in NYC), it’s at E 15th Street and Irving. It’s a great little spot with…
Raaaaaaawr!!!! We all know someone like them. And some of us can relate to one or a few of these character types: Insecure Izzie: Gives every girl the head-to-toe body scan, hoping to find some imperfection—a roll of fat, a clubbed foot, a lazy eye. Only then can she feel good about herself and rate…
Living away from my family has given me a whole new perspective on them. When living in Florida I took them for granted, judging them with the harsh guidelines that only a naïve teenager could formulate. Then I moved to NY far, far away and did not come back, except for a few holidays and…
Oh, ladies. You’re going to love this dude. And gentlemen, prepare yourselves for the impending surge of jealousy. This guy is a true, no-nonsense player who can woo a crowd and make the walls shake. And by player, I mean guitar player. That’s Pat Lattin. There’s something strange and wonderful about Mr. Lattin. He’s a twenty-something-year-old musician…
Dear One Guy, I’m in a really good relationship. The sex is great. So why does my boyfriend feel the need to watch porn and look at nude magazines sometimes? I’m afraid to approach him about it. What do I say? What do I do? It’s really awkward. And I don’t know if I should…
With a new year comes a list of resolutions. For some it’s starting a new gym routine, for others it’s learning how to become financially savvy, but as Valentine’s Day rears its head around the corner, many of us are starting to consider the changes that need to be made in our love lives. Like…
