7 Songs Written By Celebs You Wouldn’t Expect
It’s fascinating to me how many famous musicians have penned hits for other celebrities. So much so, in fact, that I recently fell down a digital rabbit hole looking up who wrote what — and, naturally, I had to share my findings with you. Are there any hits I’ve overlooked? Tell me in the comments!…

Watching The Cookie Man’s Treats Being Made Is Oddly Mesmerizing

5 VMA Looks That Set the Stage On Fire
Hands down, the biggest thrill of the VMAs is its sheer unpredictability. The show’s big, milestone moments can earn a celeb at least a few days’ worth of PR — see: Lil’ Kim’s strategically placed seashell ensemble in the late ’90s, Britney dancing with a boa constrictor in the early 2000s, Miley Cyrus introducing the…

Meet Rigby the Red Panda!
Sometimes, more than an “Aha!” moment, you need an “aww” moment. Just something beyond adorable to boost your mood. This is that something. While at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, Nate and I found the red panda exhibit, and met one pudgy little red panda who couldn’t decide whether he was hungry or sleepy.…

5 Board & Card Games Everyone Should Own
Think card and board games are just for kids? Pssh. We may have given up Candyland years ago, but we’ll never grow tired of these games. (Honestly — even the haughtiest, I-don’t-have-fun-at-parties types can’t resist them.)

5 Things We Hope ‘Heroes Reborn’ Addresses
When Heroes went off the air in 2009, I was ready to start a petition for its return. In my mind, it was just starting to recover from the convoluted, achingly boring turn it took during the Writer’s Strike, and I held out hope that it could return to its chilling, I’m-going-to-lose-my-mind-waiting-until-Monday-for-the-next-episode drama that the…

8 Things You Can Do to Push Yourself Out of Your Comfort Zone
It’s all too easy to get caught in routines, especially when it comes to the school/work/weekday grind. The repetition makes our lives easier, but it can also make waking up each morning just a little more “meh.” Sometimes you just need to wildly disrupt the same old, same old to truly feel alive and regain…

Pretend It’s Someone’s Birthday Today
Two years ago, my cousin Shania (then 11), pulled one delicious, delicious prank: She discretely whispered to our server that it was my mom’s birthday, and at the end of our meal, half a dozen waiters plopped a chocolate fudge cake in front of us and serenaded Mom with a rousing rendition of “Happy birthday.”…
