Around the turn of the 20th century, Gladys Babson Hannaford, nicknamed the Diamond Lady, was giving hundreds of “educational” talks on the gems every year. However, the “expert” was actually employed by an ad agency with a simple mission: get American women to crave diamonds.

Parenting is always an adventure: sometimes sweet, sometimes stressful, but never predictable.

They never seem to realize that there will be consequences to their actions and that they won’t always get their way. This is what one woman realized after her toddler pooped in a hotel’s pool . Instead of apologizing for her child, she decided to put pressure on the employees working there so that they would give her a discount....

Nepotism is considered by many to be a bad thing.

But how can you defend hiring your daughter who not long after coming on board starts channeling the things most employees hate about management? Well, you maliciously comply with it. And then you let fate take its course and the downfall begins....

A Drawing Meditation is not your average work of art. Each piece begins with a specific theme, however, the end product is unknown and materializes as the “meditation” ensues. My work is based upon a moment-to-moment concentration of each form and how it might progress and flow with every additional shape. Every drawing is completely unique. I like to think that the drawings decide how they will manifest themselves – I simply sit back, draw, and observe what unfolds....

Isn’t religion a funny thing? Pretty much every single one has a book filled with sacred teachings involving one (or more) gods which may or may not be real, a strict set of rules to follow, and millions of devout followers who love to do one thing – make more followers.

Report That Donald Trump has a greater-than-zero chance of getting back into the White House.

There have been some pretty wholesome couple posts on BP, but now let’s dig into the not-so-wholesome ones. When he accused me of cheating on him from the following “evidence”.. - there was a hair clip in the back of my car - he could not track me on “find my friends” and therefore I had turned it off. (This was during the hour it took me to drive home from work!...
Our bodies carry a huge burden of shame. Moral codes and social conventions confuse nudity with sex. In social media, modesty patrols often flag even pieces of art as plain pornography. These urban interventions catch people’s attention by their playful colours and also point out how silly it is to automatically associate nudity with lust and shame. I believe the seed of sexualization of the human body is not in nudity, but in the urge to hide it....
I’m in my late 20’s and like a lot of people my age, I decided to take a year out and travel to Australia.

To end the year, I took a 3-month road trip around the country and drove over 30,000km....
