Emojis I Wish Existed
A quick Friday list of emojis I wish existed: 10) Screaming face. Even a screaming baby would be pretty good. For those days when you want to convey that you just can’t deal. 9) Troll.

How to Manage Stress
Recently, after how-old.net told me I looked 65 carefully considering my work-life balance, I found myself thinking about how to manage stress. Stress, especially work stress is anti-fabulous. It presents a rather circular problem that can be expressed mathimatically: See what I mean? In addition to all the hefty botox bills, stress causes grey hair, pallid skin, fatness, heart disease and a Vegas-length buffet of other disgusting symptoms.
