19 Memes About Feeling Lonely That Are Way Too Real
Sometimes, it's good to take a step back and laugh at yourself and everything going on in your life. So, if you're someone who's upset about being alone this Valentine's Day or just wishing you had someone to call your own, laugh away any sadness with these memes ahead. Some totally describe the joys of being by yourself, while others capture what it's like when your friends don't respond to your texts and leave you feeling lonely.
The Best Sex Positions For Some Major G-Spot Orgasms
When it comes to having a G-spot orgasm, a lot depends on the state you're in as well as the positions you're doing to really hit that sweet spot. A big part of really maximizing G-spot stimulation is making sure you're in the mood for better arousal and natural lubrication. That way, you can really experience the pleasure. Take some time to do whatever feels best for you in terms of foreplay - candles, baths, nipple play, and more. Then, head to the main event: actual sex, and make sure you or your partner are giving the attention to the area that's needed.
Luckily, there are a few positions that increase your chances of G-spot orgasm more than others. Here are the best ones to choose from.
If You're Flyin' Solo
If you're going for G-explosions of the solo variety, you might be your best tool. "Using only your fingers is a fun switch, and it even teaches your body to orgasm more easily from multiple kinds of stimulation," Alicia Sinclair, certified sex educator and CEO of Le Wand, b-Vibe, and The Cowgirl, told POPSUGAR. "Start by putting a finger or two inside your vagina and curving your finger to meet your front vaginal wall or tapping and swirling a finger pad or two around the G-spot," she said. Play with different kinds of pressure and stimulation to figure out what feels the best for you, and when you do find it, you'll know.
"If you want some extra help pinpointing your G-spot, Le Wand has a Curve Attachment Cover, which best matches the curve of your vagina's front wall where the spot is found. The Ripple Attachment also works great, as the bumps massage your G-spot as you move it in and out," she said. Start with low vibrations, brush them against your special spot, and then pull back out again to graze your clitoris. As you get more and more aroused, you can pump up the vibrations, she said, increasing the intensity.
Done too soon? Don't worry. "If you finish too fast, remember the bliss of being a vagina owner - your refractory period is super short, and you can come again and again in completely different ways within minutes," she said.
Cowgirl
"If you're ready to give G-spot stimulation a go with a partner, riding is a great - and fairly easy - position to help you reach that spot," she said. This works regardless of whether your partner has a penis or is wearing a strap-on dildo, because you can take advantage of that upward curve in either their skin or silicone member that targets the G-spot's location, she said. This is about three inches into your vagina, right where your front wall feels round and puffy. "Try gyrating and moving in different rhythms and angles to find the position that strikes that spot," she said.
Doggy
"Not only is doggy style a fan favorite, but believe it or not, when your partner enters you from the back (with penis, dildo, or fingers), they're actually poised to slide right up against your secret spot as they move back and forth," she said. To make sure you're getting the most out of this position, try angling your body in different ways to hit your G-spot. "For example, start off on all fours and see how that feels, and then lower your chest all the way to the bed while arching your back and pushing your pelvis toward your partner's movements," she said. Let your partner know what feels good and what's working so they can be sure to be an active partner in the experience and give the most amount of pleasure.
Missionary With Legs in the Air
This position is a twist on missionary that is meant to really angle your partner toward your G-spot. "Rather than getting into standard missionary partner, pick your legs up and put them over your partner's (the penetrator's) shoulders. They can situate themselves on their knees," she said. This angle helps your partner reach your G-spot more easily because of the angle at which your hips are propped, she explained.
Spooning
For a more intimate way to reach the G-spot, get snuggly on your side with your partner around you. "Coming from behind, the giver will be able to reach your G-spot directly (with either a penis or dildo)," she said. Bonus points: spooning will give your partner plenty of access to stimulate your nipples, clitoris, and other fun spots on your body at the same time.
X Marks the Spot
To hit your G-spot, "lay on your back (even better if it's on a flat surface like a table or counter) and have your partner enter while standing up. Lift your legs and cross your ankles in an X so they lay on opposite shoulders," she said. "This plays up the natural curvature of an erection or curved dildo, making it super easy to reach the G-spot," she explained. The "X" will create a tighter fit for a little extra friction, too.
Fusion
"Have the giver sit up with their legs straight out, while you straddle them and lean back on your arms. By leaning back, you'll be able to easily grind against your partner at the right angle to stimulate the G-spot for the whole ride," she said. This way, you have some control over the position and can get a sweet G-spot orgasm.

18 Lesbian Romances You Can Stream on Netflix
More than ever before, we're seeing queer women represented in film and television. Over the last year, we've borne witness to Billie Jean King's career in Battle of the Sexes and wept over Lena Waithe's emotional Emmys speech for the beautiful Master of None episode "Thanksgiving." You don't need to look very far to see a movie that portrays a lesbian relationship - head on over to Netflix, and you'll see a robust selection of movies that depict love and attraction between women. We've rounded up 18 movies on Netflix about women in same-sex relationships, which range from poignant dramas like Carol to musical movies like Rent.
How 2 Women Are Working to Erase Anxiety Around Being Plus-Size in Public
It all started at Six Flags. Rebecca Alexander (pictured above) was just 18 and on a high-school trip to the theme park, but what should have been a day filled with fun and excitement with her friends quickly turned into a day of anxiety. She remembers clearly her uneasiness as she wondered if she would be able to fit on the rides - or if she'd have to watch her friends having all the fun without her.
"I have scrolled through more photos of ravioli than you can imagine, when all I really want to know is if a restaurant's booths have tables that move or tables that are bolted down."
Since that day, Alexander began noticing a pattern. She was surprised by the amount of research she had to do . . . just to comfortably go out in public. Accessibility issues didn't seem to be a priority for businesses. That realization spurred her and colleague Michele Amar to come up with the idea for a new app to help people answer the question: Can we all go?
AllGo, currently in the Kickstarter phase, will be a review app specifically designed for plus-size people to rate the comfort and accessibility of public places.
"I have scrolled through more photos of ravioli than you can imagine, when all I really want to know is if a restaurant's booths have tables that move or tables that are bolted down," Alexander tells me. "Having to do all of this research all the time really dampened my desire to go out. It was just too hard to find what I needed to know."
I can relate. As someone who is physically disabled, I'm incredibly excited about the further implications of AllGo. The world is most definitely not created for people with disabilities or, to borrow a phrase from writer Roxane Gay, otherwise "unruly bodies." Sure, we have the landmark Americans With Disabilities Act, which I'm so thankful for, but even that is limited. Sometimes, I get to feeling like we're an afterthought, as if we're expected to mold and conform our lives to the larger world around us. But the reality? Living in a disabled body in an able-bodied world is next to impossible when you have physical limitations and your body tells you, "Nope. I can't do this."
A drawing of some of AllGo's notable supporters, created by artist Nikki May
I was born with a genetic bone and muscular disorder. I can only walk a short distance with a walker and rely on an electric wheelchair every day. My wheelchair is big and bulky, which makes going places a bit of a challenge sometimes. I see other people my age - able-bodied people - decide they want to do something or go somewhere and just hop in the car. They can go to things like restaurants and concerts and museums with relative ease. It's not nearly as easy for me. Inevitably, there are a whole bunch of questions that come up...
*Is there handicapped parking?
*Is there handicapped seating?
*Are there ramps to get into the building?
*Will I be able to easily open the doors of the building?
*Are the restrooms big enough?
*Are there elevators?
Many of these questions are the same questions Alexander was asking every time she ventured out. She started wondering if other people of size went through the same thing, so she became more vocal about her experiences. As it turns out, she wasn't alone.
Alexander hopes to leverage those shared experiences with her app. "AllGo reviews are straight from the source: plus-size people like us who've been there before and want to share our experiences. We'll be able to rate places like restaurants, theaters, airlines and gyms," she says.
The Kickstarter campaign is well underway, and the goal is to raise $50,000 by April 8. People from all walks of life, from feminists to writers to people in the body-positivity movement (hi, Roxane Gay and Tess Holliday!) have already pledged their support.
A still from AllGo's Kickstarter video
"We're seeking backing from our community through Kickstarter because we believe that the first review website designed with plus-size people in mind should have our community's support," says Alexander. "We want to build the AllGo plus-size people want."
In 2018, this type of app is desperately needed. In fact, it's long overdue. We're finally living in an age where things like body positivity, accessibility, and inclusion are no longer taboo topics, pushed to the back of the conversation - if talked about at all. Thankfully, these concerns have moved to the forefront and key players like AllGo are leading the way, blazing a trail of innovative change and leading a revolution. And it's about time.
I tell Alexander an app like AllGo - while initially intended for the plus-size community - would also be life-changing for me. Actually, it would be life-GIVING. I could easily read reviews and get a "feel" for places before I even go. It would definitely save me a lot of time and energy, cutting down on my frustration that would inevitably ensue when I'd go somewhere and realize it's not accessible.
"We are so glad AllGo will be useful beyond the plus-size community," Alexander says. "In the future, we expect our product will fully reflect the reality of our intersectional world. We hope to be able to accommodate all people and truly answer the question, 'Can we all go?'"
Call Me Old Fashioned, but I Wish Guys Still Picked You Up For a Date
Back in the good old days of actual phone calls, romance, and real dates, when a guy would ask you on a date and you accepted, the next thing he would say would be along the lines of, "Great, I'll pick you up at 8." The call would end, and you would have nothing to worry about besides getting ready before the said date and time.
My, oh my, the times have changed. The lovely scenario listed above has become extinct.
In today's world, we get asked out on dates over text, and more often than not, we get asked for "hangouts," aka hookups before an actual meal-eating date comes into play.
Should a guy actually shoot for the romantic gesture and ask you on a real date, the conversation normally ends with a text along the lines of, "I'll meet you there at 8."
Based on a recent experience of mine and upon the hundreds of date invitations sans pickups my girlfriends have received, I have one big question for the gents out there: when did you stop picking us up?!
I understand that in today's world, we have about 1 million options for how to get from point A to point B. We have cabs, buses, Uber, trains, driving, and even good old-fashioned walking. However, if you don't pick your date up, you are missing one key element of the traditional old-school date.
Not the initial pickup and not the date itself, obviously, but the most telling part of all dates: the drop-off. If you meet your date out vs. picking them up, you rob yourself of the perfect opportunity for a goodnight kiss, and maybe even more than that. The way the date ends solidifies to both daters how the date actually went.
It's a scenario often played out time and time again in rom-coms and sitcoms. The night ends, and when the drop-off happens, goodbyes are exchanged, and that is when there's the classic jingle of the keys or maybe a hand lingers before the walk to the door. This is prime time for a first postdate kiss to happen.
When we go on a date where we meet at a bar or restaurant, the time to call it a night is just straight-up awkward. Who calls an Uber first? When does the second date invite happen if it is going to at all? Do you hug? Shake hands? Between a busy street, mapping out exactly where your Uber driver is, all while being stared down by the valet attendant who is waiting for his next patron, there is really no opportunity to seal the date with a kiss, nor would anyone want to in that situation.
I feel awkward even describing this because this is the exact scenario that occurred in my most recent date.
The date was great, and I had already gotten a second date invite, and I felt like we were truly vibing with each other. But, like I said, that above awkward scenario was the close to my great date. If I had been picked up and dropped off, I definitely would have given this guy a kiss. But instead, the night ended while I was calling my Uber and people were pushing their way in and out of the restaurant entrance.
Any good vibes I had from the date seemed to disappear for me, and I think on his end, too. When it came time to say bye, the awkwardness was pretty palpable, and then the least-romantic thing of all happened: we hugged.
Not only does a pickup guarantee a great opportunity for a kiss when the night ends, but it also shows your date you are genuinely interested in spending every minute of the date with them. Additionally, it ensures the date is void of any awkward moments, especially goodbyes. That is how you close the date - after all, shouldn't it be on the best note possible? Guys, if you really like your date, effing pick them up!

Everyone Can Fly First Class in Their Lifetime: Here's How
If you're flying to a different country, first class is the way to go. Fold-flat seats, top-shelf cocktails, chef-curated fare, and other luxuries await. Rather than arriving sleep-deprived and a little disheveled, your international vacation begins rested, fed, and ready to tackle the sights.
But let's cut to the chase - first-class tickets are also incredibly expensive. We're talking typical fares ranging anywhere from $3,000 up to $10,000+ for a round-trip flight. So unless you're a celebrity or international businessperson, you might think seat 1A is simply out of reach. But fear not! Luckily, it is possible to snag a first-class seat without burning thousands of dollars. With some help from travel experts, here are our tips for securing a first-class travel experience without maxing out your credit card. Another glass of Champagne, please?
- Miles, miles, miles. Save them! You can find excellent deals on first-class seats with miles. Even if you're not an avid traveler, it is possible to rack up enough miles over time. Remember that with most airlines, your miles will expire if there isn't any account activity in a predetermined amount of time. If you fly at least once or twice a year, you'll be good to go. To avoid the risk all together, consider an airline without a mileage expiration date (like Delta).
- Get carded. Consider a travel credit card with a generous sign-up bonus. Saving 120,000 miles for a round-trip first-class ticket to Europe might sound steep if you don't fly a lot, but when you get half of them simply by signing up, it feels much more attainable.
- Hunt for special offers. Most credit cards will run temporary promotions that double (or more) the standard sign-up bonus. And don't limit your search to only airline credit cards. Many cards have partnerships with airlines and will allow you to transfer your points into miles. Some even offer airport lounge access - totally worth it if you're a frequent flier.
- Can I charge that? Amie O'Shaughnessy, founder and CEO of Ciao Bambino, reminds travelers that unexpected things can be charged. "Choose the card that has the most airline relationships and at least offers one-to-one conversions for points to miles, and charge everything on it. Property tax, DMV fee, doctors, home and personal service providers - everyone takes cards these days, so take advantage of that. Miles can accumulate fast."
- Make a transfer. Check to see if your current credit card allows you transfer points into miles. Clem Bason, CEO of goSeek.com and the former president of Hotwire, advises researching the transfer policies first, as it's favorable for some airlines and less so for others.
- Get creative with Google Flights. Rob Harper of Costa Rican Vacations suggests opening up your search to find the best deal. "Rather than selecting an arrival city, search best price on business/first class by selecting the region. For example, if you're heading to Spain, rather than searching for business class flights to Madrid or Barcelona, use the "Search Europe" feature to see if you can simply get to the continent on a cheaper first-class rate. Then, you can just take a 'puddle jumper' to your primary destination."
- Keep your eye on the deals. Bason recommends regularly checking for sales year round. "The big international airlines typically have [sales] once or twice a year. American and British Airways are famous for it. When those airlines launch the fare sale, use Google Flights to scan travel dates to find the best prices."
- Go through a travel agent. Alex Dalton of Travel With Alex, Inc. advises, "Look for an agency that has a preferred relationship with a consolidator that does international first-class travel. They have access to deals that can blow away published fares. The consolidator won't work with the public, so you have to use a travel agent to get those deals."
- Go cruising. If you're planning on setting sail once you arrive at your destination, ask the cruise line if they can offer any special rates on first-class airfare. Dalton adds, "The cruise lines strike deals with airlines to get reduced business and first-class tickets to sell to their clients that sail with them."
- When all else fails, just ask! Mery Calderon of Kuoda Travel encourages travelers to remember the power of a smile. "If you're a frequent flyer on a particular airline, but don't have top status, try your luck at asking! Show up early, look presentable, and request a complimentary upgrade. A sunny attitude and little luck can go a long way (and yes, it does happen!)."

Rare GIF of a Dying Star Will Make You Rethink Your Existence
The Hubble Telescope recently celebrated its 27th birthday, and in those years it has given us an incredible look at the vast world we live in. Case in point: a rare peek at a dying star.
From 2002 to 2006, Hubble captured close-up images of an enormous star named V838 Moncerotis, which sits 20,000 light-years away from Earth. Back then, the star emitted a powerful flash of light that illuminated the dust and gas that surrounded it.
"Hubble's exceptionally sharp focus of V838 Mon offered a ring-side seat at the slow death of the star and excited astrophysicists with the chance to study the physics of the light, matter and microscopic dust of the interstellar medium," writes The Conversation, which offers more details about the life of the star and the cause of that light flash.
Below you can see a time-lapse video of the photos taken by the Hubble. Looks fake, doesn't it?

Why Portland, OR, Is the Coolest City in the US
Known for its funky vibes, farm-to-table cuisine, craft beer, and one-too-many forest hikes to count, there is no surprise why so many people move to Portland after the first visit. I won't lie - the thought even rippled through my mind a couple of times, too.
So what is it about this city that's different from other urban destinations? Well, to put it simply: everything. Portland soars above the rest when it comes to its creativity, culture, and livability, which is why so many are calling it America's best city.
Just a few weeks ago, I made my way to this Oregon oasis, and it didn't take long before I caught the infectious Portland fever. The exploding crafts scene, the never-ending culinary choices, the close proximity of both ocean and mountains - woven together into one place. Of course, I took the city's bait and was left hooked. Intrigued. Wanting more. But no, I haven't relocated. Instead, I decided to churn my adoration into a massive city guide so you can experience the greatness of Portland, too. Tackling everything from "where to stay" and "where to eat" to "what to do" and "where to find the best outdoor adventure" - it's all right here. Get ready to pack your bags!

I could easily read reviews and get a "feel" for places before I even go. It would definitely save me a lot of time and energy, cutting down on my frustration that would inevitably ensue when I'd go somewhere and realize it's not accessible.
"We are so glad AllGo will be useful beyond the plus-size community," Alexander says. "In the future, we expect our product will fully reflect the reality of our intersectional world. We hope to be able to accommodate all people and truly answer the question, 'Can we all go?'"
Call Me Old Fashioned, but I Wish Guys Still Picked You Up For a Date
Back in the good old days of actual phone calls, romance, and real dates, when a guy would ask you on a date and you accepted, the next thing he would say would be along the lines of, "Great, I'll pick you up at 8." The call would end, and you would have nothing to worry about besides getting ready before the said date and time.
My, oh my, the times have changed. The lovely scenario listed above has become extinct.
In today's world, we get asked out on dates over text, and more often than not, we get asked for "hangouts," aka hookups before an actual meal-eating date comes into play.
Should a guy actually shoot for the romantic gesture and ask you on a real date, the conversation normally ends with a text along the lines of, "I'll meet you there at 8."
Based on a recent experience of mine and upon the hundreds of date invitations sans pickups my girlfriends have received, I have one big question for the gents out there: when did you stop picking us up?!
I understand that in today's world, we have about 1 million options for how to get from point A to point B. We have cabs, buses, Uber, trains, driving, and even good old-fashioned walking. However, if you don't pick your date up, you are missing one key element of the traditional old-school date.
Not the initial pickup and not the date itself, obviously, but the most telling part of all dates: the drop-off. If you meet your date out vs. picking them up, you rob yourself of the perfect opportunity for a goodnight kiss, and maybe even more than that. The way the date ends solidifies to both daters how the date actually went.
It's a scenario often played out time and time again in rom-coms and sitcoms. The night ends, and when the drop-off happens, goodbyes are exchanged, and that is when there's the classic jingle of the keys or maybe a hand lingers before the walk to the door. This is prime time for a first postdate kiss to happen.
When we go on a date where we meet at a bar or restaurant, the time to call it a night is just straight-up awkward. Who calls an Uber first? When does the second date invite happen if it is going to at all? Do you hug? Shake hands? Between a busy street, mapping out exactly where your Uber driver is, all while being stared down by the valet attendant who is waiting for his next patron, there is really no opportunity to seal the date with a kiss, nor would anyone want to in that situation.
I feel awkward even describing this because this is the exact scenario that occurred in my most recent date.
The date was great, and I had already gotten a second date invite, and I felt like we were truly vibing with each other. But, like I said, that above awkward scenario was the close to my great date. If I had been picked up and dropped off, I definitely would have given this guy a kiss. But instead, the night ended while I was calling my Uber and people were pushing their way in and out of the restaurant entrance.
Any good vibes I had from the date seemed to disappear for me, and I think on his end, too. When it came time to say bye, the awkwardness was pretty palpable, and then the least-romantic thing of all happened: we hugged.
Not only does a pickup guarantee a great opportunity for a kiss when the night ends, but it also shows your date you are genuinely interested in spending every minute of the date with them. Additionally, it ensures the date is void of any awkward moments, especially goodbyes. That is how you close the date - after all, shouldn't it be on the best note possible? Guys, if you really like your date, effing pick them up!

Everyone Can Fly First Class in Their Lifetime: Here's How
If you're flying to a different country, first class is the way to go. Fold-flat seats, top-shelf cocktails, chef-curated fare, and other luxuries await. Rather than arriving sleep-deprived and a little disheveled, your international vacation begins rested, fed, and ready to tackle the sights.
But let's cut to the chase - first-class tickets are also incredibly expensive. We're talking typical fares ranging anywhere from $3,000 up to $10,000+ for a round-trip flight. So unless you're a celebrity or international businessperson, you might think seat 1A is simply out of reach. But fear not! Luckily, it is possible to snag a first-class seat without burning thousands of dollars. With some help from travel experts, here are our tips for securing a first-class travel experience without maxing out your credit card. Another glass of Champagne, please?
- Miles, miles, miles. Save them! You can find excellent deals on first-class seats with miles. Even if you're not an avid traveler, it is possible to rack up enough miles over time. Remember that with most airlines, your miles will expire if there isn't any account activity in a predetermined amount of time. If you fly at least once or twice a year, you'll be good to go. To avoid the risk all together, consider an airline without a mileage expiration date (like Delta).
- Get carded. Consider a travel credit card with a generous sign-up bonus. Saving 120,000 miles for a round-trip first-class ticket to Europe might sound steep if you don't fly a lot, but when you get half of them simply by signing up, it feels much more attainable.
- Hunt for special offers. Most credit cards will run temporary promotions that double (or more) the standard sign-up bonus. And don't limit your search to only airline credit cards. Many cards have partnerships with airlines and will allow you to transfer your points into miles. Some even offer airport lounge access - totally worth it if you're a frequent flier.
- Can I charge that? Amie O'Shaughnessy, founder and CEO of Ciao Bambino, reminds travelers that unexpected things can be charged. "Choose the card that has the most airline relationships and at least offers one-to-one conversions for points to miles, and charge everything on it. Property tax, DMV fee, doctors, home and personal service providers - everyone takes cards these days, so take advantage of that. Miles can accumulate fast."
- Make a transfer. Check to see if your current credit card allows you transfer points into miles. Clem Bason, CEO of goSeek.com and the former president of Hotwire, advises researching the transfer policies first, as it's favorable for some airlines and less so for others.
- Get creative with Google Flights. Rob Harper of Costa Rican Vacations suggests opening up your search to find the best deal. "Rather than selecting an arrival city, search best price on business/first class by selecting the region. For example, if you're heading to Spain, rather than searching for business class flights to Madrid or Barcelona, use the "Search Europe" feature to see if you can simply get to the continent on a cheaper first-class rate. Then, you can just take a 'puddle jumper' to your primary destination."
- Keep your eye on the deals. Bason recommends regularly checking for sales year round. "The big international airlines typically have [sales] once or twice a year. American and British Airways are famous for it. When those airlines launch the fare sale, use Google Flights to scan travel dates to find the best prices."
- Go through a travel agent. Alex Dalton of Travel With Alex, Inc. advises, "Look for an agency that has a preferred relationship with a consolidator that does international first-class travel. They have access to deals that can blow away published fares. The consolidator won't work with the public, so you have to use a travel agent to get those deals."
- Go cruising. If you're planning on setting sail once you arrive at your destination, ask the cruise line if they can offer any special rates on first-class airfare. Dalton adds, "The cruise lines strike deals with airlines to get reduced business and first-class tickets to sell to their clients that sail with them."
- When all else fails, just ask! Mery Calderon of Kuoda Travel encourages travelers to remember the power of a smile. "If you're a frequent flyer on a particular airline, but don't have top status, try your luck at asking! Show up early, look presentable, and request a complimentary upgrade. A sunny attitude and little luck can go a long way (and yes, it does happen!)."

Rare GIF of a Dying Star Will Make You Rethink Your Existence
The Hubble Telescope recently celebrated its 27th birthday, and in those years it has given us an incredible look at the vast world we live in. Case in point: a rare peek at a dying star.
From 2002 to 2006, Hubble captured close-up images of an enormous star named V838 Moncerotis, which sits 20,000 light-years away from Earth. Back then, the star emitted a powerful flash of light that illuminated the dust and gas that surrounded it.
"Hubble's exceptionally sharp focus of V838 Mon offered a ring-side seat at the slow death of the star and excited astrophysicists with the chance to study the physics of the light, matter and microscopic dust of the interstellar medium," writes The Conversation, which offers more details about the life of the star and the cause of that light flash.
Below you can see a time-lapse video of the photos taken by the Hubble. Looks fake, doesn't it?

Why Portland, OR, Is the Coolest City in the US
Known for its funky vibes, farm-to-table cuisine, craft beer, and one-too-many forest hikes to count, there is no surprise why so many people move to Portland after the first visit. I won't lie - the thought even rippled through my mind a couple of times, too.
So what is it about this city that's different from other urban destinations? Well, to put it simply: everything. Portland soars above the rest when it comes to its creativity, culture, and livability, which is why so many are calling it America's best city.
Just a few weeks ago, I made my way to this Oregon oasis, and it didn't take long before I caught the infectious Portland fever. The exploding crafts scene, the never-ending culinary choices, the close proximity of both ocean and mountains - woven together into one place. Of course, I took the city's bait and was left hooked. Intrigued. Wanting more. But no, I haven't relocated. Instead, I decided to churn my adoration into a massive city guide so you can experience the greatness of Portland, too. Tackling everything from "where to stay" and "where to eat" to "what to do" and "where to find the best outdoor adventure" - it's all right here. Get ready to pack your bags!

The Secret to Ageless Skin May Be Hiding in Your Gut
There's a deeper meaning to the phrase "trust your gut" when it comes to skin care. In Dr. Nigma Talib's celebrity-favorite book, Younger Skin Starts in the Gut, she explains the effects that gluten, dairy, wine, and sugar have on your face. In fact, she can look at you and immediately be able to know which of these groups may be causing acne, fine lines, puffiness, or sallowness on your face.
So eating a big piece of carrot cake or two slices of pizza may be doing more than just expanding your stomach; it may also be harming your gut. And when your gut isn't healthy, it can inflame or prematurely age your skin.
"The foods you eat every day will eventually show up on your face," Dr. Talib told us. "There are four main faces of aging that I've seen in my years of practice. They are gluten face, dairy face, sugar face, and wine face. Not only can these foods cause premature aging, but they can also cause puffiness, unwanted acne, skin redness, and pigmentation, to name a few."
According to Dr. Talib, you can simply make your acne or sagging skin improve by not eating the foods that are inflaming them. Sound too good to be true? Possibly. But it makes more sense than just applying a cream or lotion to clear up the problem. Instead of treating the skin care concern, you're getting to the cause of the issue to stop it before it starts.
"I consider myself a biochemical detective, always trying to find the true root cause of my patients' problems rather than just treating their symptoms with a plaster-like approach," Dr. Talib added. "I realized at this point that all of the evidence was pointing to one thing behind the premature aging - and many of the other health and skin issues my clients were complaining of - and that was poor digestive function."
There are two ways to figure out if your gut health is keeping you from flawless skin. First, you can make an appointment with a naturopathic doctor, like Dr. Talib. Or, you can try an elimination diet for two to three weeks. In that time period, you will entirely cut out gluten, dairy, sugar, and wine from your meals. Replace it with healthy options, like fruits, vegetables, and natural grains (such as quinoa and brown rice). After the test, slowly add these groups back into your diet, one at a time. For example, eat a piece of cheese in the morning and wait 72 hours to see if you have a reaction (such as a pimple emerging or bloating). Your body should be able to tell you if you are sensitive to it. (Also note that sensitivity and intolerance are different than a food allergy.)
If you're interested in learning more, pick up Dr. Talib's book to try her version of this challenge, and keep reading to see her analysis of how gluten, wine, dairy, and sugar may be showing up on your skin!
I Lasered Off My Hormonal Acne and Scars - and It Didn't Hurt One Bit
I'm 16, and until recently had no acne. It seemed to good to be true. Even as I faced a myriad of stressful school work and boy drama, I was surprised that no pesky pimples had popped up . . . until they did.
As a beauty influencer, I am constantly polishing my skin with the latest products. Since I take care of my skin religiously, I thought maybe I could avoid the inevitable plague of teenage hormonal acne. Little did I know, slathering on my favorite face mask on wasn't the answer to eliminating the sudden scads of pimples that began to invade my once perfectly dewy T-zone.
Hormonal acne is different than the average minor breakout. It was a new beast that I'd never tackled, and I needed help. That help came in the form of dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman, whose clients include Sofía Vergara and Christina Ricci.
The Answer
Dr. Dendy's answer was Pulse Dye Laser (PDL), a method where the dermatologist uses a high-powered, handheld flash gun (like the one shown above) to deliver an intense wavelength of light to kill bacteria. This method also treats red lesions and triggers collagen production, which makes it ideal for people who are trying to get rid of pitted scars. It's also a great choice for boys suffering from hormonal acne, because unlike girls, we can't try quelling the outbreaks with birth control pills.
Dr. Dendy refers to PDL as life-friendly, as you can do everything normally, like go out to dinner afterward, resume your skincare routine, and still wear makeup.
How It Works
"Pulse Dye Laser is used to treat vascular lesions or areas of skin that are red," said Dr. Dendy. "The target there is hemoglobin, which is the oxygen-carrying component of blood. This helps to heat things up and injure the endothelium, which is the lining of the vessel. That subsequently clears the redness from the skin."
In real-people words, that means the laser injures parts of the dermal layer of your skin so it can repair itself quicker and leave an even skin tone. The PDL procedure essentially speeds up acne in all aspects, as it helps improve the appearance of post-breakout skin and can help treat active acne.
Is It Just For Acne?
Dr. Dendy recently treated a young boy who had a "spider angioma", which looks like a broken blood vessel, and eliminated that life-long mark with one zap of the PDL machine. Similarly, this can be done to acne marks and hormonal acne in two to four procedures.
Along with wanting to eliminate my acne bumps, I also wanted to get rid of the scars. According to Dr. Dendy, "That's where the lasers come in. This helps resolve the healing and the inflammation from the acne lesion much more quickly. You look much better and don't have these chronic reminders of breakouts from the past."
Does It Hurt?
During my first session, Dr. Dendy prepped the treatment area with a cleansing towel, and handed me a pair of protective sunglasses. It felt . . . less than chic, but hey, anything for perfect skin.
It is painless, and she recalls that none of her patients have ever stopped the procedure due to pain - even the wimpiest ones.
I almost want to say that PDL hurt, or it took a long time. But in fact, it was a string of beeps, flashes of lights, and tiny cool shots on my skin that lasted under two minutes. I jumped every time, but it was more from shock of the unexpected light flashes that coincide with the cool sprays than the feeling itself. Dr. Dendy herself admits that she still moves a bit during the PDL procedure. It is painless, and she recalls that none of her patients have ever stopped the procedure due to pain - even the wimpiest ones.
The Results
Immediately after, my face was glowing like I had just gotten an intense massage at a facial, yet it was also very pink. The next morning, I was happy that my pimple and nose were finally on the road to recovery; Dr. Dendy said that my pimple would get darker before it cleared up.
Aftercare
Regardless of what acne you have, if you decide to get PDL, it's important to maintain your treatment protocol for a outcome that will produce longevity. Additionally, use gentle products as suggested by the doctor.
First, you should keep your regular skincare regimen. I use a cleanser with salicylic acid to clear pores and treat acne, and a vitamin C serum called Nerium IllumaBoost Brightening & Shield ($80). Recently, I added the Mattifying Hydrator Pore Minimizing Gel ($48) from Dr. Brandt to minimize the appearance of large pores.
One trick I learned from Sir John when I interviewed him on my YouTube channel is to use matte products on areas of concern, and use reflective products to your advantage. For instance, the Josie Maran Moonstone Drops ($48) with argan oil are moisturizing and give my skin a dewy glow. I follow those with sunscreen, because Dr. Dendy would not like it if I didn't, and lastly Erborian CC Creme ($45), which is tinted to conceal any active lesions, darkness, redness, and acne.
At night, I like to make sure I use the Conture Kinetic Reveal Exfoliating Scrub ($28) twice a week to unclog pores, followed by Differin Gel ($14) on acne-prone areas. Occasionally, I like to use the Dr. Brandt Hydro-Biotic Mask ($52), which I leave on overnight to hydrate and reduce inflammation.
As I have learned, hormonal acne is inexorable (much like school stress and boy problems), but like anything else in life, there are ways to prevent, treat, and overcome sudden obstacles.
This Blogger Stopped Shaving Her Body Hair and Now Lives Her Most Comfortable Life
When fitness blogger Morgan Mikenas was in middle school, she was bullied during gym class about having hair on her legs. She went home after school and cried to her mom begging her to teach her how to shave, but years later, she made a personal decision to stop shaving and she's finally living her truest life. "I'm not trying to make all of humanity just stop shaving their armpits and leg hair anymore," Morgan said in a YouTube video explaining why she quit shaving. "I just want to inspire others in what works for you, what makes you feel the most comfortable."
She said that the number one reason why she stopped was because of the time it took. "One day, I was like, why am I doing this anymore?" and that was it for Morgan. She stopped shaving her legs over a year ago and has never looked back. Society puts pressure on women to look a certain way, but Morgan explained she is leaving her body the way Mother Nature intended.
"When I would let my leg hair grow out in the past I would feel dirty, I would feel kind of ashamed because I just didn't feel feminine," she said. "So, then I would feel obligated to go shave my legs so I would feel good and feel sexy, but not anymore. Honestly I frickin' love my hair, I love my body hair, I love the hair that grows on my body. I just like being my most natural and human self."
Since she stopped shaving, Morgan has been more comfortable than ever before. Her boyfriend encourages her and thinks she looks beautiful with or without hair, but no one should be ashamed of their body hair and Morgan wants her followers to know that. "I just think it's unfair to people who think they have to be in this norm, this culture norm," she said. "You just do whatever makes you feel good."

I Tried the $5 Face Moisturizer Everyone Is Raving About on Amazon - I Love It!
I've spent over a decade perfecting my skincare routine. While I have a number of more luxe items that I keep top shelf in my bathroom, I can't seem to shy away from reliable drugstore items. Whether I'm using my favorite affordable face wash or cult-classic toner, some products just don't need that big-ticket price tag. One of my all time favorites is this St. Ives Facial Moisturizer ($5).
When it comes to lotions, I'm pretty picky. There are so many consistencies and textures that make me feel greasy or just dry me out within a few minutes. Since I was a teenager, there is only one body lotion I've ever used: the St. Ives Skin Renewing Collagen Elastin Body Lotion ($12). I lather it on my whole body, literally from head to toe. After realizing it had a facial lotion from the same line, I had to have it.
The brand is all about being transparent with its ingredients, so you know where it comes from. This cream is 100 percent natural moisturizer made from safflower seed oil that was picked from safflowers in Argentina and Australia. Its also packed with collagen and elastin proteins, which help keep your skin soft, firm, and always looking fresh.
While I use a handful of other moisturizers, this one is the one I always turn to when my skin is feel dry and flaky. I love lathering it on my neck and rough areas right before applying my liquid foundation. It helps me achieve a smooth, all-over finish.
It has over 3,800 positive reviews on Amazon. See what all the hype is about for yourself! It will cost you less than a smoothie.
