What Makes a Good Parent? Rules, for One
Posted on October 20, 2011

My sister is a travel agent. Last year, she booked a trip to Disney World for a family who required two rooms: one for mom, dad, and the 13-year-old daughter; and one for the 17-year-old daughter—and her teen boyfriend. Call me a prude, call me old-fashioned, but I cringed. I think there’s a huge difference between accepting the reality that your teen might experiment sexually and literally encouraging her to ah, do it.

Whatever your feelings about Levi Johnston, you can’t argue that he never fails to bring the drama. Especially now. Out today, Johnston’s new memoir Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs shares his side of the story.

Fall fashion hunting on a budget? Join the club: Iconic Italian fashion house Missoni launched a budget-friendly line for Target today—promptly crashing the retailer’s website for the majority of the day (we don’t even want to think about what the store shelves look like). Judging by the buzz the zig-zagging collection has garnered, it’s going to be an even bigger smash than past lines from Rodarte and Jean Paul Gautier.

Vacation, all I ever wanted… After yet another week of deadlines, rushed meals, and summer colds that took out each member of my family, one by one, I recently found myself on the brink of a self-serving, bratty pity party. I wanted—needed—a vacation. But with Labor Day weekend creeping ever closer, the realization that I would not be taking a week off this summer became painfully clear. I’m not alone.

Beaten down by the economy? Freaked out by growing flash mob violence? Or maybe you’re just pissed that Mad Men isn’t on this summer (me, too). Seems like everyone has a gripe these days. Hell, even billionaire Warren Buffett made headlines this week when he complained that he doesn’t pay enough taxes.

Can’t a girl catch a break? For decades, we’ve been slathering on everything from Dead Sea salts to bird-poo facials in order to reverse the effects of aging. Pregnant women smear cocoa butter on their bellies and hope for the best–but unless you’re Miranda Kerr, you’re going to sport some post-pregnancy battle scars.
