This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments! My partner and I separated recently, and it has been very hard on both us and the kids. Things were simply getting out of hand; too much verbal and emotional abuse on both ends. We were together four years and I was very happy and in love at the beginning, but once I began working things Read more

We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Shape here on FitSugar. Over the weekend, I saw a photo of a female celebrity (who is in a relationship with a male celeb) leaving a café with the caption, "Baby bump?" and I had to refrain myself from shouting out loud, "Come on, can't a girl eat without the world thinking she's having a baby?!"

The laws have certainly come a long Read more
It's April 20, also known as 4/20, so in honor of this high holiday, I've rounded up some celebs who've been known to smoke a joint here or there and aren't afraid to share their weed appreciation. It seems every day there's either a Hollywood fixture joking about the grassy drug in an interview or being arrested for it. Seems a little contradictory, right?

We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Shape here on FitSugar. Last year during my annual exam, when I complained to my doctor about my terrible PMS, she was quick to pull out her pad and give me a prescription for the birth control pill Yaz. "You're going to love this," she said. "All of my patients that are on it think it's the best. It's even helped Read more
