Remember the angry moms who demanded that Ben & Jerry's pull their "Schweddy Balls" ice cream from store shelves because it was considered sooo offensive to their little darlings?

96% Of Us Are More Stressed Than Our Moms Were; Cut Yourself Some Slack
On the Today show this morning, they reported that a whopping 70% of moms in the U.S. say mothering is “incredibly stressful.” On top of that, 96% feel we are far more stressed than our own mothers were.

And if we would just cut ourselves some slack, we could probably alleviate a lot of this angst. More »Post from: Blisstree

Demi Moore Reportedly Hospitalized Over ‘Whip-Its’; Couldn’t She Have Just Had Some Wine?
After days of rumors, reports now indicate that "whip-its" could have been the drug of choice for Demi Moore and the reason she was rushed to the hospital earlier this week. And here I thought sucking the air out of whipped cream bottles was just for teenagers to do as a cheap and stupid way of getting high when working at Ground Round or Ben & Jerry's.

Demi Moore was taken to a hospital by paramedics on Monday night after an emergency call, and today her rep issued a statement saying she's being treated for exhaustion due to the stresses in her life. But after her strange interview in Harper's Bazaar at the beginning of the year, and her ever-diminishing frame in the two months since her divorce from Ashton Kutcher, wasn't it obvious she needed some help?

Gossiping May Be Malicious, But Here’s Why It’s Good For Our Health
As much as we don't like to admit it, most of us probably gossip from time to time. Learning that so-and-so just broke up with so-and-so can be too juicy to keep to ourselves, right? It's malicious, back-stabbing and reputation-ruining, but that doesn't stop us. And according to a new study, it might not have to. Researchers are now saying that this so-called "information sharing" can actually be good for our social and psychological health. Here's why. More »Post from: Blisstree
