Geek is chic.
Blogger is one of the simplest blogging platforms around, and today, it's adding some new templates, technology, and speed to make its users even more on-trend. Photo blogs are super hot these days (thanks in part to Tumblr's success), and now Blogger users can take advantage of new photo-focused layouts to feature their awesome snapshots. Additionally, there's a very "Gawker-like" Sidebar Read more
There's nothing more rewarding than being a mother. Having a full-time job and taking care of kids can feel like having two jobs, which is why many women dream about being a stay-at-home mom. I talked to Jen Singer, a mom who turned her stay-at-home mom status into a job. SavvySugar: How did you turn being a stay-at-home mom into a career? Jen Singer: Right now I'm an author and a blogger. I Read more
This is one of the most childish stories I've read in a while. Rosemary Port, who used to blog anonymously for "Skanks in NYC," riled up a fellow fashionista, model Liskula Cohen, by calling her an "old hag," a "ho," a "skank," and a "lying psychotic whore." (You can't say Port doesn't know how to hurl insults!) Why is there bad blood between the women? They hang out in the same fashion circles Read more
It's quite the litigious news day for the Internet, what with the news that a Yelp user is being sued for his negative review of a doctor, and a model is suing Google because of anonymous nasty comments about her which were posted on a Blogger-hosted blog. Disregarding the validity of each case, they both present interesting cases for how we should and shouldn't use the Internet; as for Yelp, Read more
Most of us usually toss our razors in the dank corners of the shower — and that, by the way, isn't a hot idea, since moisture can decrease the life of your blades. But the Schick Intuition Naturals razor (around $9) practically demands to be put on display. With art-nouveau packaging designed by blogger Kelly Framel of The Glamourai, it's about as chic as hair removal gets. But there's more Read more

The limited-edition products will be available on MAC's website only from June 21 through Aug. 2, but until then, check out Read more
We're not the only ones who have redecorated our houses with a little help from Pinterest. When Shannon of Googie Momma was brainstorming how to fit her five children (four girls, one boy) into two bedrooms, a pin from another mom-to-many blogger inspired her to create a bunk room for her girls. The end result was a magical shared space for four little heads to rest. Keep reading to check out all Read more
Go the extra mile with your food budget with these tips from LearnVest. For years, many people — my husband, mom, sister and even my son — told me to stop wasting so much food. Throwing away half a piece of chicken here or a handful of grapes there never seemed like such a big deal to me. If I was full or no longer in the mood for that particular food, then I had no problem tossing Read more
Don't let the elements stop you! OnSugar blogger egilbride shares her thoughts on why she loves running in the rain in her blog, Ready to Run. Today I went for a run . . . in the rain. I know most people HATE running in the rain, but sometimes I prefer it to running on a sunny day. Take my Rock n Roll Half-Marathon (did I mention it was my first half-marathon EVER?!) that I ran last August. I Read more
Some people will tell you that beauty is about symmetry or contrast, that it's simply a function of the overall aesthetic of an era. But a mother's beauty is deeper, more individual, and enduring. We asked experts on the subject — women who write about beauty and style on a daily basis — to tell us about a beautiful mother in their lives. (And we couldn't help but offer a few maternal Read more
