Ashley Hesseltine Since I’m on my phone 94.7% of the time, I get excited about new technology/tricks/apps/etc. (STILL WAITING ON THAT DAMN TACO EMOJI BTW), but it takes a lot to get me REALLY worked up. But Snapchat’s new Discover feature has me giddy as a wine drunk Bachelor contestant on a helicopter date. It launched yesterday … Read more
by Jennifer Lingvall, Founder of Wigwam Fest I am grateful for my body every day–that I have the ability to move and be alive. For a brief time, I wasn’t sure that would be the case. Three years ago I was diagnosed with an aggressive triple negative breast cancer. I was barely 31 (with no … Read more
It’s finally (almost, maybe, hopefully?) spring, or at least the snow and ice conditions are behind us (at least THEY BETTER F*CKING BE). Minus the debilitating pollen that comes in like Liam Neeson ready to find you and kill you from now until mid-May in Atlanta, it’s a great time of year to pound the … Read more

If you are reading this and don’t live in Atlanta, I’m sorry … Read more

There are stupid/impractical/heinous fashion trends for women all the time (see: the ’90s), but that’s what being female is all about. However, when outlandish styles surface for men, they must be addressed. I have my opinions (OBVI), but I called in our resident dude-bestie-blogger Trey to give his compelling insight into some of these confusing new clothing … Read more
There’s been a lot of talk in 2022 about being “basic” lately, specifically being a “basic bitch.” I read the Buzzfeed article “25 Things All Basic White Girls Do in the Fall” and well, I thought it was dumb as f*ck. I mean, did you just copy this from some “shit girls like” list and put … Read more
I refuse to say sayonara to summer until September 22, but that doesn’t mean I’m not pumped for fall fashion (read: wearing leggings six days a week, what?). But there is one item I’m especially excited to flip the script on: The kimono. I wore them over my swimsuits this summer (whilst mixing vodka dranks on the … Read more
I’m just going to say it. It kinda’ blows my mind that beauty pageants still exist in 2014.
