If you read this site enough, you’ll know that I’m basically obsessed with open and honest communication when it comes to relationships. To make it work with a partner, you need to talk about everything. And I really mean everything. The good, the bad, and the ugly!

If you take a look at your life and all you can see is that poop swirl emoji, then your life is one big giant swirl of poop.

Summer, summer, summertime! It’s summer! WHO-HOO! Even for a California girl like me, summer is a fun season. It’s not just about great weather, which I get all the time here in Los Angeles. Maybe it’s leftover from school break, but summer feels a bit more free than other times of the year. Summer’s about prioritizing fun, making the most of your weekends and travel. And summer travel often means family visits because it’s the season of Father’s Day, lots of weddings and family reunions. So, summer could also mean the first time your boo comes home with you. Here are some tips to make it fantastic. Read more
