My Journey to Understanding the Hype Around the DivaCup

Do you remember having “the talk” with your parents? I sure do. And I only remember it because it wasn’t so much a talk and more like a “Here, read this,” my mom said as she flung a book about puberty at me. The book, by the way, was The Care of Keeping of You: The Body Book for Younger Girls from the American Girl company. http://thexosocial.com/2018/09/24/my-bloody-journey-to-understanding-the-hype-around-the-divacup/

Blurred Lines - Diving Into the Aziz Ansari Allegations

This story however is unlike the others we have heard about Hollywood’s monsters. This encounter wasn’t using force or intimidation as Harvey Weinstein, now defamed Hollywood heavyweight producer accused by over 80 women of rape and coercion. Or in the workplace, as Kevin Spacey preferred to commit his crimes. This doesn’t seem to be a crime at all. Which brings questions and important topics up: Was this just an awkward situation between two consenting adults? What exactly are nonverbal signals to make a clear “no” statement? How can we learn from this date gone wrong?

Why Do We Care So Much About Celebrity Couples?

The couple that everybody deemed #RelationshipGoals have separated, and fans worldwide have the same thought: “Love is dead.” So why exactly is everybody freaking out about this couple? And why are people so quick to give up on love because a couple they don’t know decided to part ways? http://diply.com/investing-in-celebrity-couples?publisher=diply

Why I Keep a Journal (And Why You Should Too)

“Hello, my name is Yi-Yi Huang and I am 6 years old. Today I am going to tell you a story about my sister’s 18th birthday.” That’s the opening line of my first diary entry. It’s no “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again,” but I’ll take it. Hey, I was six at the time. Give me a break! I had no idea at the time, but that first diary entry wouldn’t be a one-off thing. My journaling adventure began at that point and I plan on doing it for the rest of my life. http://www.thexosocial.com/why-i-keep-a-journal-and-you-should-too/
