Remember when Brock Turner, the so-called Stanford rapist, got a measly six months of jail time for sexually assaulting a drunk woman behind a dumpster? And then got out early on “good behavior”?
7 Reasons Why You Don’t Need a Skater BF to Go With Your Thrasher Tee
How did Thrasher sweatshirts become so big? Let’s be real, no fashion blogger or model just casually stumbled into Zumies and found a flame sweatshirt she thought was sweet. More likely she met a skater, stole his sweatshirt, and got photographed in it. But the cool thing about trends is that now you already know where to buy a Thrasher sweatshirt, or T-shirt, or hat.
Dinah Jane is Done Toning Herself Down
Dinah Jane is living your dream — but she’s also lived through quite a few nightmares. The 26-year-old singer was thrust into the spotlight at 15 when she auditioned for X-Factor and eventually joined Fifth Harmony — one of the best-selling girl groups ever. Dinah has 7.4 million followers on Instagram, a solo EP on the way, and is the first official pop-star of Polynesian descent. But behind the glamor and accolades — celebrities, they’re just like us.

We caught up with Vashtie, the DJ-director-designer-mommy blogger-extraordinaire to talk balancing a million creative projects, cool-girl strollers, style, and her latest collaboration with Meta for their “It’s Your World” campaign.

Hollywood's Changed, But Carmen Electra Hasn't
It’s no secret that the 90s and 2000s are having a comeback. We’re rocking low rise jeans again, emo music is coming back on the charts, and the women who’s bodies and outfits we desperately wanted back then are back and better than ever (oh, and we still totally wanna be them). Case in point: Carmen Electra. Although, she never really left if you were paying attention.

I Tried 6 Store-Bought Veggie Burgers & This Is the Best One
I Tried 6 Store-Bought Veggie Burgers & This Is the Best One Veggie burgers have truly come a long way since their inception in 1982. According to Smithsonian, the first commercially sold veggie burger came in a packet of dry mix that was meant to be rehydrated, formed into a patty, and cooked. Even if you don't recall buying veggie burger packets, your earliest memories of veggie burgers might be the grain, vegetable, or black-bean burgers of the '90s.

Meet The Ladies of Slam Dunk Festival
May 22, 2023 @ 5:47 pm By Ashley Uzer If you grew up listening to emo music, you’re probably loving the pop-punk renaissance that we’re experiencing. But something’s different this time around. No, it’s not that you no longer wear a shoelace as a belt, or that you take selfies on an iPhone instead of a hot pink digital camera, it’s that there are way more female voices in the scene.
The 8 Best Grocery Stores in Los Angeles

phem Trusts Her Gut (And Her Gut Is Taking Her Places)
Apr 3, 2023 @ 1:00 pm By Ashley Uzer If you need a new song to belt along to in your car this week, allow us to remind you that phem dropped a new track just a few days ago. The alt-pop star has always been great at writing lyrics that touch on real, raw emotions and relatable shit, then pairing them with bop-worthy rhythms and vocals that are fun to sing along to. Her latest track, “Slippery Slope” is no different. In fact, it’s arguably one of her most vulnerable songs yet.
Kennedy Eurich Is Unbothered & Designing Luxury Dog Collars
Mar 29, 2023 @ 6:09 pm By Ashley Uzer If anyone’s ever told you to stop oversharing on the internet, allow us to introduce you to Kennedy Eurich. Eurich, who has 1.4 million TikTok followers and recently got flown out by Louis Vuitton to attend Paris Fashion Week, first went viral for a very-TMI story about her sharting on her date’s floor. But Kennedy doesn’t believe in TMI. In fact, she told us that no topic is off limits when it comes to her social media.

10 Truths About the Dairy Industry That Will Make You Lose Your Appetite — Eat This Not That Original
It's much easier to slurp down a tasty ice cream cone than to think about why we, as humans, consume milk made for baby cows. Most of us would prefer to enjoy our meal rather than think about how our burger may contain meat from up to 100 different cows or how the tuna in our sandwich from Subway doesn't even register as fish on a DNA test. But when it comes to the dairy industry—milk, cheese, butter, and more—there are some disgusting (and horrifying) truths that are hard to ignore.
4 Steakhouse Chains Falling Out of Favor With Customers
The last few years have been hard on the restaurant industry as a whole, but certain chains have come out on top during the course of recovery in a post-pandemic world. Turns out that as people decide to go out to dinner more and more now, they want to go somewhere fancy, such as a steakhouse.

This Major Fast-Food Burger Chain Is Planning to Go 50% Meatless — Eat This Not That Original
We've seen our fair share of meatless menu items (both successful and short-lived) from our favorite fast-food restaurants. KFC recently debuted plant-based "chicken" nuggets, Taco Bell tested plant-based meat made from peas and chickpeas, and McDonald's unveiled the McPlant to a lukewarm reception. But the fast-food brand that has seemingly had the most success going plant-based is Burger King. The chain was one of the earlier adopters of vegan meat.
A THC-infused soda, a high-fashion tote, and this month's other obsessions
Apr 3, 2022 @ 9:42 pm By Galore Girl Howdy, friends! I hope you have had a fabulous 2022 so far. I’ve been leaning into healthy habits since January. Trying to cut out unhealthy, processed foods, getting outside more, doing yoga and meditation daily, and saying “no” to stuff that doesn’t serve me.
This New McDonald's Burger May Not Get a National Rollout Any Time Soon — Eat This Not That
Customers' initial reactions have been lukewarm, new report says. While many fast-food fans are following the chicken sandwich wars, others have been following the plant-based burger wars. White Castle was the first fast-food chain to offer such an option with the launch of its Impossible Sliders in April of 2018. Carl's Jr. joined the party with their Beyond Famous Star Burger in December of the same year.
McDonald’s Is Giving Out Several Menu Items for Free Starting Today — Eat This Not That
Take advantage of these deals while they last!

3 Ways Chipotle Is Secretly Making You Spend More Money — Eat This Not That
Eating at the beloved fast-casual has gotten pricier quickly. While we've been hearing a lot about it, gasoline isn't the only commodity that's being affected by inflation. Grocery items are getting pricier and rent prices are at a 4.2% increase. Your favorite restaurant chains aren't immune to the highest inflation rates we've seen in decades either, and some have been taking more or less public measures to ensure that they keep average customer checks high and customers coming back for more.
McDonald's Is Being Sued In the Ongoing Soft Serve Controversy — Eat This Not That Original
The chain allegedly sabotaged a small tech company with a real solution to its broken ice cream machines.. McDonald's has been criticized for many things in recent years, but one complaint is simply just a fact: its soft serve machines are constantly out of commission. The finicky machines at McDonald's are such a cliché that a whole website has been dedicated to tracking their malfunction around the country (nearly 9% of U.S. machines are broken as of writing).

The One Menu Item a Taco Bell Manager Says You Should Avoid — Eat This Not That
The recently launched drinks are polarizing fans. Taco Bell has launched some questionable items in the past. From the recently released chicken sandwich "taco," which is essentially just a fried chicken sandwich folded on its side, to the much-criticized foray into chicken wings, it seems like the popular chain would be wise to stick to its Mexican roots.
Subway Plans To Make These Major Changes To the Menu, CEO Says — Eat This Not That
The chain's leader revealed the latest plans for its food. When it comes to common food cravings, a Footlong from Subway isn't typically what comes to mind.

This Sleepy Italian Restaurant Chain Is Making a Huge Comeback — Eat This Not That
Takeout, delivery, and catering sales have blossomed during the pandemic. Many regional and national restaurant chains faced huge losses in the past two years, but a lucky few have managed to make the COVID-19 pandemic work in their favor—and have made surprising leaps and comebacks. Carrabba's Italian Grill, known for serving Italian fare centered around pasta, seafood, and steak, is one of them.
MARINA Purges The Poison And Stays True To Herself
Jan 27, 2022 @ 2:58 pm By Ashley Uzer 2012 was a good year to be heartbroken. You could cry in your car while singing “Lies,” then put on your favorite American Apparel bodysuit while getting ready to “Bubblegum Bitch” to remind yourself that you’re a bad (bubblegum) bitch. Nearly ten years later, 2021 was a good year for a revolution. It was time to “Purge the Poison,” to stop shrinking yourself to fit into society’s expectations and start leaning into your “Venus Fly Trap” tendencies.
Avril Lavigne Is Still The Motherf*cking (Pop-Punk) Princess
Jan 17, 2022 @ 2:03 pm By Ashley Uzer For the last 20 years, Avril Lavigne has been an enigma that nobody could quite figure out. Was she an ingenious, 17-year-old, tomboy songwriter, or was she a “poser?” A fashion icon who made girls around the world rock neckties, or a bad influence who showed butt cleavage at the VMAs?
6 Things I Obsessed Over This Month That Would Make Great Gifts
Dec 8, 2021 @ 5:24 pm By Ashley Uzer There are some gifts that most people will be happy with: a bottle of wine, an Amazon gift card, a candle, a cologne, a box of fancy chocolates. But there are other gifts that get people really excited. Gifts that make them say, “damn, you really went all out.” Or, “Wow, you know me so well!” Or even just, “You have such great taste!” Isn’t that the reaction you really want when you give someone a gift? Or is gift giving just one of my love languages?

Shower Sex Is a Slippery Slope, But These Positions Can Help
Like 69-ing, shower sex falls into the category of “things we pined for in our youth, but turned out to be something adults just pretended to like.” It’s similar to juice diets, journaling or early-morning workouts — it sounds nice in theory, and it sure looks fun when other people do it, but once you get down to business, it’s rarely as fun as it seemed. That said, sex in the shower holds a special place in a lot of people’s hearts.
The perfect wavy-hair extensions & 5 things I obsessed over in August
Sep 5, 2021 @ 6:59 pm By Ashley Uzer I have a confession to make: I have way too much shit. When my boyfriend moved in with me officially last month and I attempted to clear out some closet space in my one bedroom apartment, I couldn’t help but be slightly appalled at how much stuff I owned that I’d hardly worn (or used) at all. So, I decided to go on a cleanse. Not a juice cleanse (okay, actually I did one of those too), but on a shopping cleanse.

This also means that you’re probably trying to buy a whole new wardrobe that doesn’t involve sweatpants, some new makeup for glam looks that will be seen IRL and not just on IG, etc.

The Ultimate 420 Gift Guide For The Chic Stoner (Or The Non-Stoner)
Apr 19, 2021 @ 6:05 pm By Ashley Uzer I’ve never been a big 4/20 aficionado myself, but somehow since highschool I’ve always surrounded myself with stoners. Maybe it’s because I like to feed off their chill energy, or because I definitely prefer a high person to a drunk person. My favorite 4/20 memory was probably when my high school boyfriend (who also sold weed) came down the stairs wearing a shirt from Spencer’s that said “Keep Calm And Hit The Bong” to celebrate the holiday.
Talking Surgery & Social Media With The Spanish Artist
Apr 15, 2021 @ 11:00 am By Ashley Uzer When you read the word, “artist” in Jedet’s Instagram bio, you might be wondering, “what kind of artist?” Her bombshell look that’s reminiscent of a glammed up Selena Gomez or Dua Lipa might have you thinking she’s a songstress, but her dramatic stare and red carpet photos might have you thinking she’s an actress. In both cases, you’d be right, because Jedet sings, acts, and even published a book last summer.

A highbrow, boutique chocolate box & 5 other things I obsessed over in January
Jan 31, 2021 @ 2:07 pm By Ashley Uzer It’s a weird time to think about love. For those of us that have been single during the majority of the pandemic, dating seems more frustrating than ever. Normal date activities are severely limited, we’re expected to gauge chemistry through a Facetime call, and as much as we wish we had someone to sit in bed and watch Netflix with on a stay-home Saturday night—Henry from Hinge and his socially-stunted smalltalk just isn’t doing it for us.
When To Meet A Dating App Match In Real Life
To meet or not to meet? That is the question. But, if you’ve been chatting with a cutie on your favorite dating app, the question isn’t whether or not to meet, it’s when to meet. According to a recent study, 58% of dating app users wait up to a month before meeting someone from an app in real-time. You don’t want to creep your date out by pushing a meetup too early, but you also don’t want to wait too long and risk them hitting it off with someone else.
A Case For Sending Out Customer Satisfaction Surveys Post-Sex
very straight, cis female knows that a man with a long-term ex-girlfriend is likely to fare far better in bed than his bounce around, playboy counterpart. A man that’s casually slept with 100 girls has likely gotten little to no feedback on his performance, whereas a man who has slept with one girl consistently for a year (let's say) is more likely to have learned the language of labia. This whispered, unwritten rule is not as cut and dry when the genders are reversed however.
