Every year girls of many ages partake in a time-honored tradition: Girl Scout cookie sales. But this year, the joy that Girl Scout cookie season brings may be, well, a little bittersweet.
In the last half a decade, the
Girl Scouts of the USA has faced membership decline, and the organization has brought in a consulting team for an image overhaul.

It seems that most of you feel
being late is inconsiderate, and it sends a disrespectful message to those waiting for you. I happen to agree — I'm always on time — but I have friends that are late no matter what, even when they give themselves extra time. I've grown accustomed to it though, and I just consider it their little quirk.

When you've known someone a long time, it's inevitable that you'll experience bumps along the road, but with some friends, those growing pains are more frequent. With age comes maturity and a greater sense of awareness, and sometimes the things that didn't affect us before become serious issues in our present relationships. Friendships can either grow stronger or farther apart over time, so if you've ever struggled with an old friendship, do tell, what changed over the years and what obstacles did you both have to overcome to make your friendship work?

If you’ve always been a
late person, then being punctual is an important, but oddly challenging, habit to learn. Not only will it come in handy for the boring necessities like paying the bills or making it to the dentist on time, but your friends will be ever so thankful. I’ve put together a few ideas for how to become a person who’s always on time.

We were so pleasantly surprised to wake up this morning and see that
PopSugar was included in Time.com's list of the 50 Best Websites of 2008! It's such an honor and entirely humbling to be included in such an illustrious group, which includes some of our favorite sites we can't live without. Not only is Pop one of the only celebrity sites on the list, but Time also gave credit to some of our other amazing channels like Yum, Geek, and Fit!

When a relationship is serious, it’s common to define it as
long term in order to qualify its significance. But what does long term really mean? Chitchatting with some girlfriends the other night, I realized that we all had a different length of time that qualified as long term in our books.

Dear Sugar,
I feel like the people in my life don't respect me. Several of my friends and even my boyfriend are very inconsiderate when it comes to our time together. I make plans with them and time and time again, they either cancel or show up extremely late.

Often, even if we have the best of intentions, life tends to get in the way of
staying in touch with the people that we care about. It’s easy to put off a phone call for one week and watch it turn into four, until finally a year’s gone by without a single word exchanged. Before you know it, you’ve inadvertently lost a friend that you really cared about and enjoyed having in your life.

Beauty and skincare lines have been jumping on the organic bandwagon in droves. Last year, sales of organic and natural cosmetics exceeded $7 billion. But does "organic" mean what you think it means?
Time reports on a few things you should know about "organic" beauty products:
- The USDA is the only organization that can certify something as organic, and they will only do so if all the ingredients, packaging, and production meet the same stringent standards required for organic food.
- A USDA certified organic product is still allowed to have 5% non-organic ingredients.

George Clooney is touted as "The Last Movie Star" on the cover of this week's Time magazine, complete with a photospread showing off his silly and handsome sides. In the article, George comes over to the writer's house for dinner and comes off as a man who knows how to be an enthusiastic guest. Between talking about his life philosophies and showing off impressions, he spent part of the night trying to disarm a mysterious alarm going off in the house —
watch the video, it's hilarious.
