		<title>Do You Know What Jeans You&#8217;re Wearing?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier today, I looked down and realized I wasn&#8217;t wearing the jeans I thought I was wearing. Why is this so disconcerting? I don&#8217;t know but it is. And not just to me: 12:58:48 PM Tania: this sounds weird but i just realized i was wearing completely different jeans than i thought 12:59:00 PM Tania: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chinese Moms, Iraqi Moms and Your Mom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What Chua is describing, though, isn't so much Chinese parenting as it is immigrant parenting, something I'm extremely familiar with as the daughter of two Middle Easterners. Don't get me wrong — my mom never forced me to sit at the piano bench with no food or drink for hours at a time, and she most certainly didn’t tell me I was a “disgrace” (at least not until I was in my 20s). My parents were actually quite lax compared to the others in our cultural circle.]]></description>

		<title>Clothes That Exercise For You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I almost bought toning shoes once. To be fair, they were the less offensive New Balance variety, and I was a vulnerable, newly-minted bride-to-be, convinced I needed to get gown ready in a few short months. What better way than to squeeze a power walk into my lunch break? And yeah, I just said &#8220;power [...]]]></description>

		<title>Perfect from Now On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s Built to Spill up to these days? The reason I ask is that the past couple of days, everyone&#8217;s been talking about new years resolutions, which always makes me think of the album Perfect from Now On, one of my college favorites (and one that I still love despite being ten years older and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best. Morning. Ever.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was a kid I used to celebrate Christmas all year round. Well into July, A Chipmunks Christmas played from my Boombox, my room adorned with mom’s discarded tinsel and mistletoe. And in December, when it was finally appropriate to celebrate my favorite holiday, I was so damned excited I barely slept at all. [...]]]></description>

		<title>S&#8217;mores</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rainy Sundays are for baking with friends. Ok, that&#8217;s a lie. Rainy Sundays are usually for watching E! between naps, pleased to finally have an excuse not to leave the house. But this weekend was different. Check out these s&#8217;mores my friend Elsie and I made with homemade graham crackers. That&#8217;s right, graham crackers MADE [...]]]></description>

		<title>Target.com Ruined Halloween</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My fiancé is my favorite vampire. My second favorite vampire lives in a cobweb-infested castle on Sesame Street. You might know him as The Count.  What’s not to love about a muppet who sends himself letters just so he can count them? So when I met my Transylvanian fiancé two years ago, I didn’t think [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Bar Method Hurts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m not one of those girls who looks cute at the gym. Off-label track pants, oversized t-shirts and visible panty lines are just a few of my staples. So to say I felt a little out of place at my new Bar Method class — a sea of capri leggings and perfectly coiffed pony tails [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Do People Hate Oprah?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a confession to make. As Oprah Winfrey steps down from her daytime television throne and CBS steps up the commercials reminding us it&#8217;s her last season, I find myself feeling a little emotional.  She&#8217;s been telling uplifting stories, getting celebs to embarrass themselves and changing the lives of ordinary people one hour at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nothing to Write About</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I once heard you should never apologize for a gap in blog posts, that doing so only highlights your negligence, especially for new visitors. But since Russian spammers and my boyfriend are the only people who read this blog, I&#8217;m about to break all the rules with a little confession (or two): not only have [...]]]></description>
