Why Black Stretchy Pants Are Actually Important

The internet had a lot to say when Kellyanne Conway attended the inauguration on Jan. 20 wearing a red-white-and-blue Gucci coat. And matching hat. And matching gloves. Now, some may say that this is because she looked like Paddington Bear if Paddington Bear were, say, in a Broadway musical about the American Revolution. Others might argue that the backlash was simply because she was joyously ushering in one of the most disliked, politically inexperienced presidents in the American history, has …

My Friends Gave Me New Year's Resolutions For 2017

My New Year's resolutions are always the same: write more original fiction, spend less money, and convince Oscar Isaac to run away with me and spend the rest of our lives together in the Irish countryside. And every year, I look around in mid-January and discover that I have back slid into writing nerdy Star Wars fan fiction, somehow have Amazon Primed 16 packages at once, and am still on hold with Oscar Isaac's agent (... 's cousin's friend from college, but only maybe). By virtue of this, it s…

Why You Don't Have To Make A New Year's Resolution

Tradition and society tell women that on Dec. 31, they need to make a list of all the ways in which they're failing at life, and then resolve to fix them starting Jan. 1 — as if we spend the entire calendar year spinning out of orbit and need the nudge of a holiday tradition to get back behind the wheel. And sure, the concept of a New Year's resolution can be innocuous and progressive, but the fact remains: it's not for everyone. No one should feel bad about not making resolutions. In fact, if r…

Millennial Women Make Resolutions About 3 Things

New Year's resolution season is what you make of it. The month of January can be all about setting achievable but ambitious goals that will help you feel like a more confident, put-together version of yourself — or it can be about making yourself feel bad for eating more than 1,500 calories a day or making it to the gym fewer than seven days a week. That first kind of New Year's resolution? All about it. The second type? Not so much. Bustle did a survey of 822 readers to find out which camps the…

If you're sad that you've already broken one of your New Year's resolutions, consider Jan. 28 as a fresh new start. Saturday is Chinese New Year, a celebration that's near and dear to my heart as a holiday I grew up with. In case you didn't know, Chinese New Year, or the Lunar New Year, marks the beginning of a new lunar calendar, the Year of the Rooster.

The Best Valentine's Day TV Specials From The '90s

Since I spent most of my childhood absolutely devoted to all the best kid shows that the '90s could offer, I am a hopeless romantic. Seriously, nearly everything I know about love I learned from those formative Valentine's Day specials of '90s kids shows, and you know what? They've served me well. I strongly believe that part of the reason for that is because the '90s were an absolute golden era of quality programming for children. These shows never pandered to or patronized their young audience…

27 Shows From The '90s That Defined Your Childhood

I am the first to admit modern TV is undeniably fabulous. Sometimes, I wonder how I made it so long without the likes of Game of Thrones, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Stranger Things in my life. It's equally true that '90s kids grew up with amazing TV, too. The shows of my youth may not have earned the label "prestige TV" like the shows of today do, but they were some of the wisest and most enduring series ever created — and they made growing up so much more fun. From the beautiful community Arnold…

Cade Is In Mystic Falls On 'The Vampire Diaries'

Spoiler alert: Stefan's plans fell apart just about as quickly as they came together, but his actions did have a very serious, unintended consequence: Cade. Cade is in Mystic Falls on The Vampire Diaries, and he isn't bringing anything good along with him. After overhearing …

Caroline & Bonnie Go Into Damon's Mind On 'TVD'

Caroline, Bonnie, and Damon took turns entering Damon's subconscious on The Vampire Diaries in an attempt to shake him from his catatonic state. After confronting Sybil and demanding he get his emotions back, Damon was stuck in his own mind in "Nostalgia's a Bitch," with no way out. In an attempt to get him back, Caroline and Bonnie went into Damon's mind. And, lucky for us, Tyler, Grams, Sheriff Forbes, and Vicky returned to The Vampire Diaries as part of Damon's subconscious.
