The Mrs. Roper Comeback: When Nostalgia Meets Modern Womanhood

By //  by Candace Sampson

There's a Mrs. Roper comeback that's been brewing under the surface for a few years now but it poised to explode this year. Once the sarcastically fashionable landlady of "Three's Company," is now, the unexpected icon of modern womanhood. I first stumbled upon this delightful resurgence after spying a tweet about a Mrs. Roper-themed pub crawl in Hillcrest, San Diego. With caftan-clad devotees of this sitcom legend sashaying through the streets, it got me thinking - why is Mrs. Roper, played by …

Are Divorce Parties Tacky? Who Cares. It’s the End of An Error Baby, Celebrate!

By //  by Candace Sampson

Ultimately, you really only have one person to answer to on this, you. And the only question you need to …

The internet exploded with messages of sadness, disbelief, and weariness at losing yet another mega talented musician this year. Along with messages of grief and condolences people are beginning to share their memories of how Prince and his music affected their lives. There are periods of my life that are …

5 tips for reducing holiday stress

5 Tips To Avoid Holiday Stress and Put the Zen in Your Holidays

By //  by Nicole MacPherson

It might be the most wonderful time of the year, but for many of us, Christmas is also the most stressful time of the year. Suddenly our already-hefty to-do lists are a mile long, and previously free weekends and evenings are swallowed up by frantic amounts of merry-making. Add that to the pressure of wanting a perfectly decorated Pinterest house and perfectly decorated Pinterest cookies and perfectly decorated Pinterest children in their matching Christmas jammies, and you’ve got yourself a …

15 Science Fiction Films That Will Break Your Brain

15 Science Fiction Films That Will Break Your Brain

By //  by Anne Radcliffe

Do you like haunted houses? Roller coasters? Do you enjoy that rush that comes from physical thrills? That's how I feel about a really good sci-fi movie--except all the loopty-loops happen in the head. Everyone should be a fan of science fiction films. It's seldom that a film of any other genre (no matter how entertaining) will do what a science fiction film can do: surprise you, and really, really make you think. Here's a tribute to, and a list of, all of my favourite science fiction films …
