Whether they’re older or younger, they are always there for you and will look out for you. And you don’t have to share clothes or makeup with them like you would a sister. You just have a built-in best guy friend.

I have an older brother (hey Gordon!), and he’s the absolute best. Seriously, I don’t know what I would do without him in my life. He’s always there for me no matter what. I feel so lucky to have such a great relationship with my bro, even if people sometimes think we’re dating.

Check out the 10 best things about having a brother!

They give the most awesome hugs.

They’ll help you out, especially if you ask nicely.

They help you get over stupid exes.

They’re protective.

They give you compliments when you need them.

They tell you when to shut up so you don’t get in trouble.

They’re built-in therapists, even if they don’t always know what to say.

You have tons of bro-sis inside jokes.

You always have someone to bug!

And most importantly, they’ve always got your back.

But you know what? They were AWESOME. I don’t care that my ketchup was green and purple. The ’90s proved to be a very creative and open-minded time period, and I don’t hate it.

But something really irked me this morning. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin came out recently and said that he hated Tang. Um, excuse me? Who hates Tang? NO ONE. That’s like saying you don’t like Bagel Bites, which is just impossible.

This got me thinking about all the drinks from the ’90s that aren’t really around anymore that I miss. Check out our favorite drinks from the ’90s!


TANG

I don't care what Buzz Aldrin says. Tang is amazing, and I love it. It's still available, and I'm going to buy some this week.

SURGE Soda

SURGE was the most caffeinated drink you could get back in the day, and it was awesome! Who cares if it was basically radioactive and glowed in the dark? It was delicious!

Squeeze-Its

Squeeze-Its were like a more syrupy Kool-Aid, and they were so yummy! They came in those cool twist top bottles, and you literally had to squeeze them to drink them.

Sunny D

Yes, you can still buy Sunny D. But seriously, who still buys Sunny D? This stuff was great because you could avoid drinking that gross, pulpy orange juice your parents loved and have this instead.

Hi-C Ecto Cooler

There has never been a drink flavor better than Hi-C Ecto Cooler. Seriously. It is the best drink flavor to ever exist in the history of drink flavors, and they NEED to bring it back.

Sprite Remix

Sprite Remix was perfect when you wanted a carbonated fruit taste without the caffeine before bed. RIP.

Snapple Elements

Oh man, bringing me back! I don't really know what rain or the Sun should taste like, but they tasted delicious according to Snapple. I used to collect these bottles!

And I’m sure we get on their nerves too. It’s part of being human and having interactions with people. When I’m annoyed with a guy, it’s probably because he said something without thinking it through. I choose my words carefully. I guess that’s a writer thing.

I’ve gone on a lot of dates and had several relationships, so I’ve definitely had a ton of super irritating things said to me by guys. Like nails-on-chalkboard annoying with a dash of “How could you possibly think that was the right thing to say?”. I’ve had so many annoying things said to me that I am a professional eye-roller. It’s a talent.

Here are the 10 most annoying things a guy has said to me.


Calm Down

Calm down. Calm down? Literally the two most cringe-worthy words you can utter, especially during an argument. YOU CALM DOWN.

We Should Be Friends With Benefits

Oh we should? Because I was thinking you should leave me alone immediately.

You're Crazy

Oh yes because I love it when you belittle those with mental illnesses and disorders by calling me crazy when all I did was simply disagree with you.

Get Back In The Kitchen

A former boyfriend said this to me in the middle of a fight. And he was totally serious. Needless to say, it didn't last.

You're So Cute When You're Mad

Not only is this condescending, but do NOT flirt with me mid-argument!

I'd So Cheat On My Girlfriend With You

You.can't.be.serious. You're serious? You're disgusting.

Source: Shutterstock

You Look Fine

Fine? You can't come up with any adjective other than fine? I just spent like two hours getting ready, and I look "fine"? Nope, nothing's wrong. I'm FINE.

Just Sit There And Look Pretty

An old bossman of mine said that to me as we were about to go to a meeting. For real, dude?

Source: Shutterstock

You're Not Wearing Enough Clothes To Ignore Me

No joke a guy said that to me this weekend. Gross.

Source: Shutterstock

You Can't Do That

I can't? Why? Because I'm a woman? Or because you don't want me to? Yay, sexism!

At first, none of us really noticed. Or maybe we did, but we were too afraid to say anything.

It started with her eating less and pushing food around on her plate at lunch. Then she started skipping lunch altogether, telling our group that she had to study or needed to catch up on her homework. Something just wasn’t right.

She began looking a little thinner, but nothing to be concerned about. People would ask if she lost weight, which would make her entire day. But to her friends, it was concerning.

Suddenly, she was skipping class or stopped coming to school altogether. When she did show up, she was wearing huge sweatshirts and jackets even when it was hot out. She wouldn’t return phone calls and would lash out when I asked what was going on with her. I knew I had to do something about it.

I went to my school’s guidance counselor to ask what I should do. I explained that my friend had been skipping lunch and was looking less than healthy. The counselor told me that unfortunately, the only thing I could do was to just be there for her. She said if I was really that concerned, then I should talk to her parents but that I should be prepared that my friend probably would blame me.

It turned out that another friend had already tried that. And her parents, unfortunately, were in complete denial about the whole thing. They ended up confronting her, but she freaked out. When she found out that we had brought it to their attention, she abandoned us as her friends even though we were trying to help.

A few weeks later, my friend ended up being taken to the hospital because her body was rejecting food. She was sent to rehab for pretty much the remainder of the school year. As hard as it was to see what happened to her, we were all so glad that she was getting the help she needed.

She made it through and now she’s back to her healthy self. Our friendship, however, didn’t quite make it. Every time I’ve seen her since then, we’re cordial and nice to each other. But we’re not friends anymore. It hurts because as her friends, we wanted to help her. I wish that our friendship had survived, but I’m so glad that she’s healthy and thriving. She seems really happy, and that’s honestly all I can ask for.

Yay! I gave him my number, and now I’m DYING for him to get in touch. I’m pretty sure he’s three-day-ruling me, which totally sucks, but guys do that. (WHY DO THEY DO THAT?!)

Anyway, I’m kicking myself for not getting his number because I would have gotten the ball rolling by now. It’s complete torture waiting for your crush to text you. I keep checking my phone every five seconds to see if I have a text. I even turned it off and back on because I thought there might be something wrong with my signal because I’m being that girl.

I’m fully aware that I need to chill out. Really, if we hit it off as well as I thought we did (I have friends who can vouch for that too!) then he will text me. Right? Right.

So here are 6 things you should NOT do when you’re waiting for your crush to text you.


Don't Compulsively "Like" Everything He Does

Seriously, take your finger off the like button. Don't double tap that Instagram pic. Avoid RTing every funny thing he tweets. Just be normal, and don't abuse social media.

Don't Shut Yourself Off

Just because you have it bad for your crush doesn't mean someone else isn't interested! While you're waiting around for your crush to get it together, don't shut yourself off to other people!

Source: Shutterstock

Don't Harass His Friends

Don't start bothering his friends to give you info about if your crush likes you or not. Have normal interactions!

Source: Shutterstock

Don't Try To Run Into Him

If you run into him naturally, great! But don't try to run into him on purpose, especially in places where you wouldn't normally be.

Source: Shutterstock

Stop Checking The Phone

You will drive yourself crazy, like me. Put the phone down and go do stuff. If he texts you, it'll still be there when you get back.

Source: Shutterstock

Don't Stalk Him

Do yourself a favor and stop looking at his Facebook profile. Stop re-watching his Vines over and over. Just relax and try not to cyber-stalk so much.

Dads are the greatest, and we love them so much. But they are pretty much impossible to shop for because if they want something, they’ll just go out and get it. They have everything they need, so really what are you supposed to get them?

I think dads get tired of receiving ties as gifts, and I like to think outside the box when it comes to presents anyway. Not to mention, anytime I got my dad something pricey, he’d get upset that I spent that kind of money on him. Plus, dads love handmade things.

I’ve rounded up some awesome affordable gifts and some DIYs that you can give your dad this Sunday. Click through and see what you can get for your pops!

Our favorite kid duo had tea with LL Cool J on The Ellen Show during another edition of Tea Time with Sophia Grace and Rosie. It’s hilarious just seeing LL Cool J sit and drink tea with two little girls. It’s also hilarious to watch them giggle the entire time. They ask him all kinds of questions, and I think all three of them should create a show together. Also, Sophia Grace raps some of LL’s music. AND LL can juggle. Basically it’s amazing.

Even if you’ve conquered being greasy, sometimes your makeup just won’t stay on. And while you don’t need to wear makeup to the beach or the pool, you may want a little bit on here and there if you feel like it.

I’ll throw on some liner and a splash of color before hitting the beach. That’s totally fine. But it sucks when you get in the water or you just get sweaty and end up with makeup everywhere. This happens whether you’re swimming or just walking around town!

This is where waterproof cosmetics come in. They’re not meant for everyday use, but they get the job done when you’re out and about.

Click through for my favorite waterproof products for summer!


Sephora Flashy Waterproof Liner

This liner does not come off. It's no joke! And look at this color! Channel your inner mermaid with this one.

Buy it here for $3!

Sephora Waterproof Smoky Cream Liner

Cream liners and shadows last way longer in water than any other kind. Try out this electric blue!

Buy it here for $12!

Sephora Jumbo 12-Hour Waterproof Liner

I love jumbo liners because you can use them like a shadow and just blend it on your lid. This gold jumbo pencil from Sephora is beautiful and has a 12-hour wear period.

Buy it here for $14!

Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain

Lip stains are great for everyday use, but I love wearing them out at the beach or by the pool. You're not dealing with a messy gloss or lipstick. Stains give you just the right pop of color!

Buy it here for $7.19!

Maybelline Falsies Waterproof Mascara

Maybelline Falsies is my absolute favorite drugstore mascara. The waterproof version is just as good and stays on forever.

Buy it here for $7.49!

Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush

Cream blushes are ideal for summer because they stand up to the heat. This hot pink from Revlon is perfect for a pool day.

Buy it here for $10.39!

MAC Cosmetics Studiofix Powder

This is my every day powder, but it's formulated to hold up to sweat. It usually have to wash my face twice to take it off.

Buy it here for $28!

Tarte Matte Waterproof Bronzer

This Tarte bronzer holds up even in the wettest conditions so you can fake that tan even in the water!

Buy it here for $29!

MAKE UP FOR EVER Face & Body Liquid Foundation

If you're looking for serious waterproof coverage, this foundation will do the trick. It's really pricey so only go for it if you absolutely NEED a foundation that will not come off.

Buy it here for $40!

Maybelline Waterproof Makeup Remover

And because waterproof makeup is such a pain to take off, I highly recommend using a waterproof makeup remover.

Buy it here for $5.99!
