Have you ever had sex with someone when during the entire act you’re thinking of someone else? I know I am not the only woman who has thought of someone else while I having sex. Studies have shown that during climax, the woman releases higher levels of oxytocin than men do. Basically, oxytocin or the “cuddle hormone,” immediately release a woman’s emotions. I mean, if someone would’ve told me that every time I climax I gain an emotional attachment to the person, maybe I would stick to using sex toys.

One time, I said another man’s name out loud…not good. But it’s not completely my fault, because with sex…comes emotions.

It’s no big deal or anything, but yesterday Kylie Jenner broke the Internet.  Her debut lip kit collection sold out in 30 seconds and the overwhelming influx of traffic crashed her website within a matter of minutes.  And it stayed crashed for hours. Today pictures of her bare ass encased in latex in a photo shoot that practically screams “sex doll story” might just break the internet again.  

In both a literal and a figurative sense, Interview Magazine‘s feature with Kylie Jenner is her most revealing to date, as the 18-year-old opens up about her biggest fears, what she’d be doing if she wasn’t famous and what she wants to be when she grows up.  

 On why she changes up her look so much:
“Honestly, what I think set everything off is when I cut my hair off when I was 16 and dyed it blue.  After that, I just felt so free and wanted to experiment with my look.  I thought I knoew who I was and what I wanted to look like, but then once I did that, I was like, “Whoa, there’s a world of difference.”  I just felt like I could be whoever I wanted to be, and I’m all about, like, experimenting.  I’m still so young, so I’m just having fun.

On having everything and also happiness:
“What I think is so amazing about having everything, and feeling like I have everything, is that I don’t really find happiness within materialistic things. Like, it’s cool if I can buy myself a new car, and I think it’s amazing for a week, but then the thrill is over, and I’m like, “Oh, so I guess that wasn’t really happiness.” I’ve realized through the years that I just find happiness in other things, whether it’s my dogs or my friends or, like, looking at the sunset. So if I were to wish for something else, it would just to be happy all the time, to have a superpower of not letting things affect me, and to be true to who I am, always.

On haters and feeling old:
“I’m young and I’m a girl, so, when I post something, I want to see what people are saying or what they think of my photos. I’ve found it better if you don’t read anything and you just always stay off that track. I’m just trying to not lose myself through this process, because I feel like I’ve already lost parts of me, like, my youth.

On what she’d be doing if she just be her and not “feed those timelines”:
“I would probably just never dress up. I would never wear makeup, because I honestly hate wearing makeup. Lately, I’ve just been so over it. I feel like I’m way too young to wear such heavy makeup all the time. It’s just bad for your skin, but I’m always doing photo shoots or red carpets and events, so I just obviously want to look good. And I don’t know, I like hiking. I used to do a lot of hiking when I wasn’t as busy. I had a lot of anxiety when I was younger, so I would just run to this hill path in the back of my mom’s house and listen to Jack Johnson. I would listen to Jack Johnson and stare at the sky until my anxiety went away. When I was 16, I was always outside. We always watched the sunset, the group that I was friends with.”

On what she wants to be when she grows up:
“If I could do whatever I wanted, I would have a successful makeup line, and I would want to hopefully start more businesses, and just be, like, a businesswoman. And then, hopefully, I’ll go off the map. When I’m, like, 30, I want to go off the map, have a family, and live in Malibu with a farm, and just raise my own chickens.  My next goal for 2016 is to learn how to garden.”

On her biggest fears:
“I have, like, a problem. [laughs] I wake up every morning at, like, seven or eight because I think that there’s a bad story about me, and I have to check. My worst fear is waking up and finding something bad about me on the internet.”

On her dream superpower:
“Maybe to be invisible, so I can stalk people and see what people do when I’m not there.”

This post, Kylie Jenner Just Had Her Sexiest Photo Shoot Ever, And It’s Super NSFW, by Maria Pasquini, appeared first on Galore.

As if you didn’t have to worry enough about gifts this holiday season, you now have the pleasure (or horror) of meeting your man’s folks. While you appreciate the gesture of him wanting to introduce you to his family, you dread the awkward small-talk and the silent judging that will take place. So, how do you win his family over and convince them that he’s found a good girl instead of leaving them muttering disapproving remarks behind your back? These five steps cover all of the bases:

1. Arriving Empty Handed

It’s very likely that you’re meeting your boo’s parents by going over to his house for the holidays. Whether you’re staying for a day or a weekend, you should bring a little gift to show your appreciation for them hosting you. Ideally, find out from your boo what would be the best gift (you don’t want to bring a bottle of wine only to find out that his parents don’t drink). Wine, flowers, some form of dessert, and coffee table books are all good places to start.

2. Dressing For The Club

Your man already thinks you’re sexy, you don’t need to make anyone else in his family want to fuck you. You don’t have to find a nun habit or floor length gown to wear, but it’s better to appear a little too conservative rather than appearing skanky.

3. Snapchatting Your Life Away

It may not be rude to spend dinner with your girlfriends pouring over Instagram on your Iphone, but it is rude to your man’s parents (or any of his family members, for that matter). Who do you really need to be texting, anyways? Try to put your phone in your bag for the majority of the time that you’re with your man’s family. Not only will you save yourself from looking rude, you’ll be forced to engage in conversation rather than hiding away in your Twitter feed.

4. Getting Caught In The Act

We know, we know, you and your lover probably want to get it on every two seconds. But, please try to refrain from straddling him until his family has left the premises. Even if you’re not planning on actually fucking him at his parents house, it’s still best to find out what type of PDA is normal in your man’s household. While your family might think it’s totally normal for you to rub your dude’s thigh at dinner, his family might think it’s wildly inappropriate. Even if you forget to ask him what type of touching is okay, just follow his lead. There’s no reason for you to start kissing on him before brunch with his relatives unless he says so.

5. Drinking Like It’s NYE

Save your tequila shots and blackout for NYE, not Christmas dinner with your boyfriend’s family. If you’re over 21 it’s very likely that your boo’s family will be serving drinks to you. Hell, maybe his family is taking shots. If they’re big drinkers, that’s awesome and you should feel free to join in. However, make sure you’re keeping track of how many drinks you’ve had and watching your pace. You don’t want to embarrassingly start shouting out things that aren’t appropriate for a family gathering, or worse, be known as the girlfriend who puked on Christmas morning.

Today is December 1st, and we all know what that means, right?  The holiday season is officially upon us. Get ready for more commercials laden with gift-wrapped cars and snowy landscapes, more Christmas tree stands magically appearing on every corner in town, and get ready to receive a text from your Mother saying your advent calendar is in the mail and should arrive by Wednesday at the latest.

Say what you want about Christmas, but advent calendars are Capitalism’s gift to humanity.  December is a hard month.  When we’re not cold, broke, stressed out or depressed about how early the sun goes down, we’re hungover from yet another holiday party.  The prospect of getting to start each and every day in December with a delicious piece of chocolate is literally what gets me through the month. However, LOVE magazine’s advent calendar puts every ordinary advent calendar to shame by offering up silly portraits of celebrities in lieu of the traditional confectionary treats.

First up: Kendall Jenner dressed up like the most famous creature present for the birth of Jesus Christ, the hammerhead shark.

While my initial reaction was of the WTF variety, I can’t pretend that the sight of Kendall Jenner dressed up like a sexy hammerhead shark didn’t brighten my day.

LOVE also shared a clip of shark Kendall Jenner breaking into real Kendall Jenner’s house and attacking her in a shower scene in a bloodless burst of hilarity.

Sometimes the best Christmas presents are the ones you would never think of asking for.

This post, Kendall Jenner Is Celebrating Christmas In A Really Weird Way, by Maria Pasquini, appeared first on Galore.

December is the month of giving, and while you’re shelling out your hard-earned cash to make sure your sister, your BFF, and your boss get great gifts, there’s a certain someone who you have no intention of spending money on–your ex. However, why not send your ex-loved one something special this holidays? You know, in the spirit of giving.

1. A Box of all his Old Things

It’s finally time to let go. And while you kept his old sweatshirt around the house for lazy Sundays, don’t act like you don’t have 10 other sweatshirts around your house that you can use instead. Unless you’re going to sell that Tiffany’s necklace for some extra Christmas cash, give him that back too.

2. A Homemade Video of You and Your Current Boo Having Sex

You don’t know what you got ’till it’s gone, right? In case he needed to see your upgrade in full effect, you can send a quick little home movie for his viewing pleasure. Beware of blackmail…unless you plan on following in Kim K’s footsteps.

3. Christmas Cookies Laced with Laxatives

Your relationship was shitty, and his evening will be shitty too (literally) after he wolfs down a box of your cookies.

4. A mix CD of all the songs you listened to while getting through the break-up

Make sure to put on lots of Adele, Alanis Morissette, and Taylor Swift. You know, all those female singers that dudes just love!

5. One of his Nudes Framed

Remember that one time he took a dick pic while in the bathroom of his office building? What better way to commemorate the holidays than by framing that photo properly? Maybe you can send it to his office building directly?

6. A Cheap Hooker

Since you’re not fucking him anymore, you might as well assist him in finding a downgrade. The sketchy personal ads of Craigslist seem like the perfect place to find a new lover for him, maybe send him some condoms too?

7. A Box of Glitter, Shit, or Both

Ah, thank god for the internet. Because everyone’s got enemies, some companies have made our revenge a little easier by allowing us to ship poop or glitter. But, why stop at one? The only thing worse than a desk filled with a glitter or a kitchen filled with shit is a house filled with glitter and shit! Serves him right.

8. Coal

Santa may have had it right all along. Coal is a great classic gift to send to your ex bae on the naughty list. Besides, if you steal some from your next door neighbor’s grill, it won’t cost you anything!

9. A Cockroach Named After Him 

The Bronx Zoo allows donors to name a roach, and what better way to commemorate your ex?

10. A Positive Pregnancy Test

Who says April Fools is the only time to play pranks? We think that nothing could make your ex-boo’s Christmas morning more special than thinking he’s going to be a father.

11. Blue Balls

Instead of having break-up sex and regretting it later, just have almost break-up sex and leave him begging for more like a little puppy.

12. A Broken Iphone Charger

We all have about 10 of these laying around the house since Apple loves to keep us purchasing new chargers every month. This way, he’ll be able to charge his phone for all his side-chicks and lame Tinder pick-up lines!

If you didn’t already want to be Amy Schumer’s best friend you should. She’s hilarious, she’s talented, she doesn’t give a fuck, and she just posed almost naked for the upcoming Pirelli Calendar. When the calendar was announced she said of the photo, “I’ve never felt more beautiful or more like myself.” Amy, you are killin it.

Shot by Annie Leibovitz, known for her sometimes controversial, but always iconic pictures, the photo is of Amy sitting on a stool wearing nothing but underwear and some heels while she holds a cup of coffee. Simple, but also extremely powerful and influential. Amy is known for her confidence and body positive ideals, consistently promoting that women should love themselves regardless of their jean size in her stand-up and in her show. This image of a successful woman who does not conform to expected beauty standards looking self-assured and comfortable in her own skin is just what women need to be seeing more of. An image that is not obviously photoshopped, that shows her stomach rolls and imperfections, an image that shows her looking at the camera with a face that says, ‘Yeah, I’m topless, who gives a shit?’

If he asked me after all this time, out of his own amusement, if I remember what he was wearing the first day that we met, my mind would take me back to that very moment without hesitation. I have lived through six summers since the day that I saw him for the first time. When I was thirteen I believed time stops for just a moment when you see the person that you will be unconsciously looking for your whole life. Now that I am older I have learned that time doesn’t stop for anything, not even the underlying warrant, which I have discovered, is love. We have these ideas about the way our lives should be, as if there is an expectation that needs to be met in order to weigh out our happiness. Maybe this keeps us from settling, or maybe this keeps us from satisfaction. After one week he told me that I was the only person he would ever love to the fullest capacity. They say that distance is no match for two people who mean everything to each other, but I think that is extremely unrealistic. For three hundred and sixty five days you find yourself waking up to the sound of a slamming door and you begin to realize that this door is your life and you are a thousand miles away from the only person who knows how to open it again. Each year you begin to lose the parts that make you who you are and independence seems impossible. Every summer I had to start over again, falling harder for a person who felt like home. It was so easy loving him when he stood right in front of me. It makes you appreciate a person’s touch or smile or warmth that much more and for those simple reasons it was all worth it to me. Maybe it was the way his blue eyes resembled the ocean, and when he looked at me I felt this gravitational pull on the strings of my heart.

The fourth year of knowing and loving Alex I got on a plane in the beginning of summer to Cape Cod, as I had done many times before, but with a nostalgic feeling in the pit of my stomach. I arrived at the place that held all of my favorite memories, the place that kept me going throughout the hardships of my everyday life. Standing where I saw him for the first time was a new girl, one who he had brought from home. They never prepare you for the physical pain you feel when you know a love has died. It reflects the sound of a hummingbird as its wings move at an unbearable rate, you can’t imagine how it is possible but it’s real and it flashes before your eyes just slow enough for you to remember how it was before it is gone forever. I think a part of me stayed at the shoreline of that ocean, it couldn’t say goodbye for the last time and I had to set it free.

I walked down the boardwalk with shaking knees and found myself sitting in front of this ocean. The waves started to sound like his heart beat on the summer days he would hold me. I heard a long time ago that if you carve your wishes into the damp sand and watch as the tides washes them away, they will come true. On that last night I wished for many things to be different, for closure or for him to walk down that boardwalk and save me from myself. The disappointment hit hardest when they never came true, no matter how much we once loved each other. The next morning was time to say our goodbyes but I couldn’t even look at him without feeling like one of my ribs was about to break. So I walked away, without saying my final goodbye. Sometimes you have to break your own heart. Sometimes you have to feel like there are broken shells in the sand ripping at your bare feet and still walk further. Sometimes you have to choose not to look back and be okay with it.

Now that I am older and have lived six summers since the day I lost apart of myself I am so thankful that he never was my salvation. You can decide if you want to put your life into someone else’s hands and you can deal with those consequences. But not getting the one thing I wanted has made me the independent and strong person that I am today. I choose myself, I choose to help others until it takes a toll on my own life. In the end we are alone floating in this chaotic ocean we call our life. In the end, breaking my own heart was what I needed to do in order to find that key. The key I thought Alex always had, but in reality I always had it inside of myself. You’ll learn that this key has no lock, so never use it for anything other than yourself. There will be days where you feel like you want something or someone so badly that it almost becomes an actual need in order to survive. But then suddenly and all at once there will be a day where the most wonderful thing will happen. You will wake up to the sound of a slamming door with a smile and you will realize that not getting what you wanted taught you to be the person that you needed. You will get up and open that door, revealing all of the possibilities you never saw before, and that day will be the best day of your life.

There’s a first time for everything, and I don’t just mean your “first time.” Of course, there’s vital, “right of passage” first times that everyone must encounter at some point, for example, moving to a new place, getting your heartbroken, and making your first humiliating, drunk decision. Yet first times are imperative to the better (or often, identical) mistakes we’ll make later, and teach us the lessons that we’ll continue to not learn from. Every week, we’re going to be telling real first time stories from real girls, and that includes everything from celebrity house parties to Instagram marriage proposals.

If we’ve learned anything from style-stalking off-duty models, it’s that eye-catching outerwear can make any outfit into a covetable look. Of course, the staple is a good leather jacket—its presence at season after season on the runway and on the street means that you probably already have a few in your closet, so take a look at what models are wearing to see how they’re keeping the leather jacket cool and current.

Runway sweethearts like Erin Wasson and Taylor Hill have replaced the cropped, fitted leathers of yesteryear with oversized coats featuring moto style collars and heavy metal accents. They stand out from the crowd and say “I’m a rock star, and I’m warm, too!” We’ve rounded up the seven best leather jackets of the bunch for your shopping pleasure. There are capes, vests, and they’re all cool as hell.

This past fall Lena Dunham decided to launch Lenny Letter, an email newsletter released twice a week, covering things including but not limited to fashion and feminism. Today, Dunham announced in Lenny Letter the arrival of Lenny Shop, an accompanying online shop that stocks the quirky goodies you would expect from the Writer/Producer/Star of HBO’s Girls. Currently the site sells tees and sweatshirts, incense holders, hanging banners, and our personal 2 favorites, “Nudes” Nail Wraps, and a “Dismantle the Patriarchy” Patch Set. The Lenny x Rad Nail Wraps are only $12 and feature, you guessed it, some cheeky vignettes of nudes, just abstract enough to toe the line between tastefully provocative and inappropriate. Meanwhile, the Lenny X Rosehound Apparel patch set is perfect for decking out you and your girl gang’s jackets, denim or leather is up to you. The perfect combination of sweet pastels and distaste for the patriarchy, these patches make a statement while still being cute as hell. We’re hoping that Lenny Shop only continues to expand their range and continues to be a shop that, as the founders of the store described in the announcement this morning, “rep[s] grassroots feminist businesses and also wouldn’t force you to spend your entire rent on an ankle boot with a weird zipper.”

Getting over your ex is hard.  Getting over your ex when his/her face is dominating the media news cycle is even harder.  It’s been almost a year since Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez called it quits, but it seems like neither of them can go a day without some journalist asking them a question about whether or not they’ll get back together.  The power of suggestion can be a very influential force, and over the past couple of months we’ve seen their answers change from a solid ‘we loved each but it’s over now‘ to ‘who knows, we’re still close.’

Against my better judgement, I have to admit that I’m just as curious about Justin and Selena’s relationship status as the next girl, especially after last night, when Justin Bieber posted a throwback photo of him and Selena from a not-so distant past when the two were most definitely boning.

Justin Bieber // Instagram

 At first Justin let snap go un-captioned, but after the Internet started freaking out over the fact that Justin Bieber basically just announced that he and Selena Gomez were dating again he added a, “Just a throwback calm down.”  It didn’t work.  The Internet will not calm down because why on earth would you post a picture of your ex and you together on Instagram after you’ve broken up unless you’ve recently rekindled your romance?

Last month Justin Bieber serenaded Selena with an impromptu rendition of “My Girl” in a Beverly Hills ball, and seeing as Selena was seen leaving his AMA after party, it’s clear the public display of affection didn’t rub her the wrong way.  While it’s not clear what exactly is going on between the two on again-off again lovebirds, it’s clear that it’s something.

Squirting is a hotly debated topic among men and women alike. There are the dudes who insist that squirting is real and that every girl has the ability to do it, and there are the girls who claim that it’s completely fake and squirting is just pee.

Well, it turns out that both sides of this argument are partially incorrect.

Samuel Salama, who works in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics and Hospital Privé in France, helped to create a new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine that describes the difference between squirting vs. female ejaculation (yes, theres a difference).

He explains that female ejaculation is when a small amount of liquid is released via the female prostate (some females have a prostate, some don’t). You know those moments during sex when your guy comments on how wet you’re getting either when you’re about to orgasm or after you orgasm? That’s female ejaculation.

Squirting, as you’ve seen in porn, is when a larger amount of fluid is released from the bladder (rather than the prostate). As for the debate on whether squirting is actually pee, a study using an ultrasound proved that a full bladder was empty after squirting, so while squirting may not exactly be pee, it’s very similar.

So what if you don’t ejaculate or squirt? Or what if you do both? Nobody has official numbers regarding the “average” number of women who can squirt or ejaculate, but experts have estimated that a range of 10-54% of women can do one or both.

Just like sexual preferences, your body’s sexual reactions are all unique as well. If you can’t squirt, don’t feed into the guys who claim that “they can make you squirt.” If you can squirt, you shouldn’t be embarrassed about it, ‘cuz you’re basically a unicorn.

Whether or not you feel sexy strutting your stuff down Broadway in a plunging, skintight dress with a slit practically up to your vagina, most women feel confident striking a pose in the buff, even if it’s only for a private audience of one.  There’s an undeniable power that emanates from a woman’s nude body, and that’s exactly what Stuart Weitzman chose to tap into for its S/S 2016 campaign.

Staring Gigi Hadid, Joan Smalls, and Lily Aldridge, this stunning black and white Mario Testino shot features three of our favorite models with nothing on but their Stuart Weitzman heels. 

 ‘So excited to be a part of the @StuartWeitzman SS16 campaign,’ Gigi Hadid wrote on Instagram. ‘Best shoes, best team, best day – clearly NOTHING else is needed.’

All three women are wearing identical pairs of Stuart Weitzman’s ‘Nearlynude‘ shoes, which feature a 2 inch heel and retail for $398.

All three models were named the new faces of Weitzman’s ‘In Our Shoes’ campaign yesterday, marking the first time the brand has worked with a model other than Gisele since Kate Moss gave up the campaign in early 2014.  

We can’t think of three models who would have made a lovelier choice for Weitzman’s soft, sensual campaign, although we can’t help but be reminded of last April’s British Vogue cover, when Mario Testino teased a very similar look from Suki Waterhouse, Cara Delevigne and Georgia May Jagger.  

If it ain’t broke, don’t mess with a beautiful thing.

Unless otherwise noted, all photos are by Mario Testino.

Name: Christy L.

Age: 25

Current city you live in: Los Angeles

Occupation: Aesthetician

What were (are?) you addicted to?

Alcohol

Brief explanation of what the drug is/does/how it feels?

Alcohol loosens you up, makes you feel more confident, but it also inhibits your judgment and your senses and you can even blackout if you drink too much.

When did you start using? Can you describe your first experience?

I took my first drink when I was 15. I stole a bottle of vodka from my mom and shared it with a friend. We could barely drink it without spitting it back up so we mixed it with apple juice. After an hour of taking sips at a time it wasn’t so bad, until we both puked our guts up. But I loved the way it made me feel, so silly and carefree.

What made you start using?

There was obviously some peer pressure involved, but mostly I wanted an escape from my home life, which was not great. I had a terrible relationship with my mother.

What are the negative side effects of using the drug?

It can cause memory loss, it impairs your judgment, it can make you throw-up, it can cause a hangover. Over time it can cause serious liver damage.

At what point did you realize you had a problem?

By the time I was 22 I had been drinking almost non-stop for seven years. I drank a lot of beer, but I liked rum the most. I ended up dropping out of high school; I ran away from home, I lived in my car for a bit, I was always at some random guy’s house for a party or a place to crash. I was always drunk or buzzing because I honestly hated myself and my life. The tipping point was when I was at some party and lied down on a bed for a bit and some guy tried to take advantage of me and I was too drunk to fight him off. I thank god every day for the person who came into that room and got him off of me.

What type of help did you seek?

I went to two 12-step meetings everyday.

Can you describe the rehab experience/recovery process?

It was fucking hard. I relapsed a few times, but I just reminded myself of what almost happened to me because of my alcoholism and I eventually found a sponsor and got through it. I still go to meetings twice a week.

How long have you been sober?

Almost 3 years now.

How is your life different now that you’re sober?

It’s unbelievable how much happier I am. I went back to school, I’m working on my career, I have a small apartment, and some good friends I meet from my meetings.

Is there anything you do on a daily basis to stay sober?

I just remind myself of that night.

If you could go back and tell yourself anything what would it be?

No amount of alcohol is going to change your reality.

We sat down with X-Factor alum and internet hit maker, Fletcher, a few weeks ago to discuss what it is about pop music that inspires her to create. Now, we’re listening to Fletcher’s follow up to her hugely popular “War Paint,” arguably a break through hit having been the most shared track on Spotify across Twitter and Facebook. Her new single, “Live Young Die Free,” shares “War Paint”‘s anthem-like lyricism and top 40 pop conventions. Whether or not it’s a hit worthy of surpassing “War Paint”‘s success is still up for debate. Decide for yourself by listening below.

Upon my move to New York City, I didn’t have many friends. I figured what better way to socialize than to download some dating apps and meet some dudes. Best case scenario: I meet Prince Charming. Worst case scenario: I get a bunch of free meals. Besides, the amount of attractive, successful, smart guys in NYC were enough to entertain any lonely chica.

I quickly matched with an extremely attractive guy, let’s call him Earl. From his Instagram, I could tell that he was extremely ripped, loved to get tables at NYC’s hottest clubs, and worked at a big Fortune 500 firm– sweet! After exchanging messages back and forth, he asked me when I was free for dinner. I replied, “whenever works with your schedule, just let me know.” His response? “You tell me,” accompanied by an extremely close-up dick pic.

Needless to say, that was the end of my conversation with Earl (and it’s not just because his dick pic wasn’t up to my standards). When girls are on dating apps, they’re looking for actual dates (or at least a free meal), not a close up IPhone pic of a penis.

However, Spoiled has created a parody ad for DickPicr, the app that works like Tinder, except with dick pics rather than selfies. The ad proudly exclaims, “with most dating apps, you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into, with DickPicr, at least you know what’s getting into you.”

For the ladies, there’s Twatshotr, because guys do like the occasional pussy pic.

While we’re thankful that this isn’t a real app considering we already get enough dick pics via Tinder and Snapchat, we did find this ad pretty hilarious, and we think you will too.

Don’t let the chilly weather impede your makeup game, ladies! If your makeup bag is bleak and you’re feeling uninspired, try out these beauty looks, straight from some of Hollywood’s favorite makeup artists. There’s something for every occasion, from a casual day to a glam night out, so take note! These looks will let you stunt the competition all winter long.

1. Soft Twinkle by Jill Freeman

“I always say, you must start with skin care!  Doing the prep work is a must.

Step 1:  Cleanse and moisturize your skin. I love January Labs Moisturizer Balance Lotion.  Light weight and appropriately hydrating under makeup.

Step 2:  Apply a light touch of foundation.  Wearing too much foundation can really date your look and make you look older. Skin should look like skin.  When you apply your foundation immediately after moisturizing, you’ll find that you won’t feel the need to put too much foundation on.  It smoothes over your skin and has a soft, candle light glowing effect that looks more like skin.

Step 3:  You MUST blush!  Blush makes the short list.  Rosy pink cheeks make you look more youthful and a little flirtatious.

Step 4: Brow game strong.  Fill in your brows girls.  Groomed brows frame your face and add an element of architecture.  This is worth paying attention too, fill your brows and comb through with a brow gel.

Step 5: Make it personal.  Focus on either your eyes or your lips.  If you love your fancy eyes, by all means, doll them up!  A strong liner and a nude twinkle shadow is gorgeous, classic and striking.  If you are a girl who loves a bold lip, pucker up and go big. Bold lips are so pretty against a soft natural pallet.  If you are going to wear a matte lip, I suggest using Love and Sage lip condition under.  Its totally organic and absorbs into your lips without interrupting your look.”

There is no denying that 2015 was a huge year for music, Adele is back, Justin turned us all into Beliebers, and we’re still down for every thing that Drake does. This morning DJ Earworm released his annual ‘United State of Pop’ for the year 2015, a massive mash-up of the year’s biggest hits. Considering the mix opens with Adele’s “Hello” and also features artists like Fetty Wap, Jason Derulo, One Direction, and Taylor Swift, you would kind of expect it to be a hot mess, but it isn’t. DJ Earworm somehow managed to put all the songs together in a catchy way, which makes sense, since it’s literally composed of all the choruses that have been looping through our heads all year. He speaks about his process saying “”I try to get a feel of what is in the zeitgeist. Music has been going through a softer phase than it was a few years ago so there’s that return of adult contemporary. That’s maybe represented by the Ellie Goulding track, it’s very lush and soft. And then there’s sort of retro, uptempo dance stuff, and that’s represented by The Weeknd track. It’s a more eclectic mix than it was five years ago.” So there you go, a song perfect for when no one can agree what to play next on Spotify at your NYE party. 

See the full tracklisting here and watch the video complication below.

Baddie Winkle isn’t your average senior citizen—take it from Miley Cyrus, who cites Baddie as her very own role model. Born in 1928, she gained fame when her great grand-daughter, Kennedy Lewis posted a picture on Twitter of Baddie wearing Kennedy’s clothing. Since then, Baddie’s established herself as an icon for being a cool lady who still smokes weed, wears crazy shit, and rocks her badass look regardless of her age. Take a cue from Baddie Winkle—loving yourself doesn’t mean loving your youth…it means being cool no matter how you look. Check out our calendar to see exactly how she does it, 365 days of the year.

You were the star of Dimepiece LA’s campaign and attended the VMAs, did you ever dream something like this would happen from your Instagram account?

No, I can’t get used to it yet, I can’t believe it! Who knew I would be strutting down the red carpet with Miley Cyrus as my arm candy?

You’ve described Baddie as your alter-ego that helps you to take more risks comfortably, do you think that we should all adapt some sort of alter-ego?

Yeah, sure. It started evolving from one picture, It’s awesome. Sometimes you need to take your dream version of yourself and turn it into reality, fuck the rules, whether you’re 20 or 80.

Besides your granddaughter, who else do you look to for style inspiration?

I keep up with the styles, I look at magazines. I like to see what the celebrities are wearing.

Do you like Miley Cyrus’ style?

Well… some of it [laughing], she’s a very down to earth kid, she’s a really sweet girl. Some of her get-ups wouldn’t look so great on my body type, but she rocks it.

Do you think that more women your age need to fuck society’s rules and dress the way they want to?

Yes I do, I think they should do exactly as they please rather than conforming to what society expects from them. Do you, girl.

Who would play a younger version of you in a movie about your life?

Maybe Selena Gomez for when I was younger, and Michelle Pfeiffer for an adult version. I liked her as Cat Woman, she was sexy…just like me [laughing].

Which artist’s music video would you be a perfect background dancer for?

Hm…I think Drake. I like Drake. He’s my Champagne Papi.

What type of guys make the best lovers?

Oh my gosh…well I couldn’t answer that, but I guess if he was good looking and handsome and made you laugh, he’d probably be a good lover. A nice butt doesn’t hurt.

You have said that it’s okay for women to fake it, what is your advice for doing it right?

You just do it right! [Laughing] There’s not much to it. Maybe if you do it wrong he’ll take the hint and start stepping up his game!

1. He’s Absolutely Not Getting You One

Let’s face it. No matter how generous or nice you are, it’s always ideal to be receiving a gift in return for your efforts. Most of the people you buy gifts for are people who you know will return the favor. No matter how nice/cool/big-dicked your fuck buddy is, I can guarantee he’s not getting you a Christmas gift. Shit, guys with girlfriends don’t always remember to get their girls’ Christmas gifts, why the hell would your non-boyfriend get you one? Hate to break it to you, but if a guy wanted to do nice, “boyfriend-y” things for you, he would be your boyfriend already. Don’t waste your time (or money) on a dude whose only gift to you is dick.

2. See Above

Wait, I lied, your fuck buddy might get you a Christmas gift…I hope you like pearl necklaces!

3. He’s Going To Get Weirded Out

Boys love to freak out about how girls want to date them soooo badly. If you so much as like his Instagram photo, he’s probably going to be talking shit to his dudes about how you want to wife him up so badly. If you get him a legit Christmas gift (or God forbid, a card), you’re going to send him running for the hills. I mean shit, a card has words, and words kind of relate to emotions, and boys don’t like emotions unless they’re fake and they’re using them to get in your pants.

4. All His Friends Will Know About It

The only thing more embarrassing then getting your booty call a Christmas gift is other people knowing about you getting your booty call a Christmas gift. He’s going to either brag to all his friends about how his dick game is so good that you bought him a pair of boxers, or ask his friends for advice on how to drop the hint that he’s not looking for anything serious.

5. Save Your Money For Important Shit 

Instead of getting your booty call a Christmas gift, why don’t you get yourself a Christmas gift? No boy is really going to be able to figure out what you want anyways. Instead of leaving casual “hints” about what you’re feeling for the holidays, get your ass on the internet and treat yo’ self instead. Boys come and go, but you and those stiletto heels you’ve been eyeing are here to stay!
