Things You Forget To Tell Your Brother

Yes, I was letting you win all those games on purpose.

Things You Forget To Tell Your Brother
Cailyn Pacuraru

Sometimes we don't say out loud the things that really matter. And we definitely don't end up saying them to our little brothers. We watch them grow up in front of our eyes and never say what we really want to, because getting sappy with your brothers means letting out all of these memories of mischief and fun. And suddenly there's so many memories that you can barely handle all the melancholic feelings of both the good and bad times you've had, and you just have to tell your brothers everything you've never said.

1. When I tell you to "grow up", I don't really mean it.

2. I'm sorry for sitting on the remote or putting it down my shirt so you couldn't get it.

3. Sometimes, I genuinely want to hang out with you, even if you are eight years younger than me.

4. I'm sorry for ever embarrassing you in front of your friends...

5. And calling you names (like "Germ")...

6. And punching you in the stomach when I got too mad.

7. You're the best partner in crime.

8. I'm sorry I laughed at you when you fell down the stairs...

9. And I'm sorry for not helping you with your bloody nose afterwards.

10. Thanks for taking the blame for some of the things I did...

11. Like when I got chocolate on mom's white tablecloth and you said it was your fault.

12. Your grades in school aren't the most important thing...

13. WHO YOU ARE is the most important thing.

14. Thanks for letting me borrow your sweater...for five years.

15. No matter what you do, you know I have your back.

16. Thank you for giving me all-access to your fancy headphones...

17. And for not getting mad when I accidentally broke them.

18. I'm sorry for getting mad every time you came into my room...

19. And for every time I barged into yours.

20. I'm basically half a parent to you.

21. Yes, I embarrass you on purpose.

22. I boss you around because I have your best interest at heart.

23. I'm sorry I made you play with Barbies (even though you secretly liked it).

24. I'm proud of you for knowing who you want to be.

25. You make me the happiest sister.

26. Thank you for never really judging me.

27. And even though I never say it, you know how much I love you.

A Bumble Couple's Wedding Was Canceled By COVID-19, But Nothing Could Come Between This Perfect Match

"The whole purpose of all the stress and time and tears was that we love each other and that was all that mattered."

Shortly after Kaihla's sister made her a dating profile on Bumble (despite her fear of being catfished), she matched with Shanna, and their chemistry was quickly undeniable. So much so that only a month and a half into dating, Shanna told her best friend "I think I'm going to marry her," and eventually, the nonprofit worker and elementary PE teacher duo proved this to be true.

In the fourth episode of a new docuseries called "Pandemic Weddings" by SoulPancake, the couple opens up about how they met, the difficulties of canceling a non-refundable wedding of their dreams (that took a year and a half to plan), as well as the pain of having family members who didn't support their marriage use the pandemic as a convenient excuse not to come.

Registered Voters Are Getting More Love On Dating Apps, As They Should

If there's one thing everyone's talking about right now, it's voting — in real life, on social media, and yes, even on dating apps.

And rightfully so! Because is there really anything sexier than someone who cares about using their voice to be the change they want to see? In my opinion, no... not much, honestly.

Any medium- to dark-skinned woman knows how difficult it can be to find the right SPF. Most mass-market SPF products are catered to lighter skin tones, and the potent UV-blocking titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have a way of leaving an unflattering white or grey cast on the skin.

The 2020 presidential election is coming up fast and it's important now more than ever to know the resources available to voters. With COVID-19, this election looks a bit different this year — mail will be slower, and polls will have longer lines and more health and safety regulations. Because of this, knowing where to register if you haven't already, checking your registration status, and requesting a vote-by-mail ballot is crucial information to be aware of.

Each state has different links and different websites, so this information primarily pertains to Florida residents.

Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) deal with a lot of uncertainty in their life. Between hormonal ups and downs, unpredictable weight gain, painful cyst ruptures, and infertility worries, their bodies are often under a lot of stress! A common symptom of PCOS is having a hard time losing weight — many women find themselves frustrated (or in pain) from traditional workout plans.

I sat down with Nikki Pebbles, a certified personal trainer and group fitness coach, to talk about the kind of workouts that are best for women who are dealing with PCOS.

I've Had PCOS For 12 Years — This Is What I Eat To Have More Energy And Clearer Skin

It's a lot of what I don't eat, too.

I've Had PCOS For 12 Years — This Is What I Eat To Have More Energy And Clearer Skin
@neginmisralehi

I began suffering the symptoms of PCOS — acne, fatigue, weight gain, and an irregular cycle — when I was about 16, but I wasn't diagnosed until about nine years later.

The symptoms were, of course, frustrating, but I am now thankful for all of the time I spent trying to manage them naturally with my diet, herbs, and vitamins. Now that I am diagnosed, I do take a small dose of prescribed spironolactone which has helped immensely, mostly with my skin.
