Long-distances relationships are the worst. Oreo's only affirmed that belief of ours with their latest creation, a peanut butter ice cream sandwich that's only available in the U.K. as of now. WTF, Oreo?! Tease, much?

People who are lucky enough to be traveling across the pond can look forward to the sandwiches, which feature peanut butter ice cream mixed with crushed cookie pieces between classic chocolate Oreo cookies. They sound so good that we're pretty much already coming up with excuses to go to England on a business trip just for a chance to test these out.

Since peanut butter and chocolate are both known to improve basically everything they touch, it’s not hard to guess that this new sandwich is totally magical. Plus, it's cold, which guarantees it'll be a perfect summer staple — and one that Americans with a sweet tooth can only fantasize (and whine) about for now.

Oreo, if you're listening, please bring these babies to the U.S. ASAP so we can hoard and Instagram them with the best of the Brits.

There were 10 minutes left. I was taking an exam that required proving five mathematical statements in 50 minutes. I was in panic mode trying to remember things that were just outside my mental grasp. I could feel the tears starting. I knew I was going to fail again and that deeply frustrated me. I had put in at least 20 hours of studying for this test. I had gotten A's and B's on all of my homework, I had attended every class and still nothing was coming to me. It was as if I knew exactly what I was looking at and yet nothing about it at the same time.

It took about two weeks of college to crush my academic dreams and two months to make me ill. It didn’t help that for my first two and a half years I had an autoimmune illness that presented itself as a mental health condition.

All of a sudden I was really terrible at taking tests. It was as if my brain couldn’t process the information fast enough and my memory recall became fuzzy. I had trouble placing what was wrong because I had convinced myself that I really was just the worst at everything even though all of my other work pointed to the contrary.

It was a whole year before I had a professor who recognized that my situation was not normal. He had students that had failed his tests come to office hours to go over everything and make a plan. As someone who had failed, I had to meet with him.

I was very apologetic and went on to explain everything I had done wrong. He seemed puzzled, as most students who failed tests didn’t come into his office knowing the correct answers an hour after getting the test back. He then took a closer look and noticed I got the hardest question right.

“I don’t understand why you failed this test,” he said.

“Neither do I,” I replied. And all of a sudden it was like I wasn’t crazy, and I really did have a legitimate problem. He got in contact with the disability office to explain my situation; they decided to see if more time on tests improved my grades. I aced the next test.

It was then up to me to get a diagnosis in order to keep getting more time on tests. So I found a psychiatrist. His credentials included having an M.D. and an office located across the street from my apartment. After weeks of taking tests, filling out questionnaires and going through everything with him, he told me he couldn’t find anything wrong that would explain my issues.

He did, however, focus on my obsession with needing clean hands before handling food and decided that I had OCD. He told me that I must be so obsessed with getting right answers that I simply didn’t finish in time.

I started crying; I felt like he hadn’t listened to what my actual problem was. This diagnosis didn’t explain my slow processing time or memory recall issues. He waved off my concerns by telling me I aced all the tests he gave me. Unfortunately for me, simple math problems didn’t compare to having to write five high-level mathematical proofs in 50 minutes.

But as much as I knew I didn’t have OCD, at least not enough to require a diagnosis, I gave in because all I needed was some diagnosis in order to get more time on tests, and if I wanted to succeed, I needed that time.

Two months later, I started having physical symptoms. At first I thought it was a bad case of anxiety. I had a stabbing pain in my stomach and had lost my appetite. It was midterm season, after all, but my symptoms didn’t go away when the stress went away. It also took me a few months to recognize that I had also started sleeping way more than normal and was always tired.

It took six more months for a proper diagnosis. After seeing two primary care physicians and two gastroenterologists, I was diagnosed with a poor functioning gallbladder and gastroparesis, but those weren’t my underlying problems. It took the triggering of a separate illness and a new doctor who ran all kinds of blood work on me to finally get the diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. After a month of taking Synthroid, a medication to help thyroid function in individuals with an underactive thyroid, all of my physical symptoms due to my thyroid were mostly better. And finally, I had an illness that explained what was going on in my head.

My psychiatrist hadn’t even considered that I had an autoimmune illness. He even seemed to mock me when I questioned his diagnosis asking, “Well what do you think you have?”

Not considering an autoimmune illness myself, as I wasn’t a doctor, I said, “Well, ADD runs in my family.”

He told me I tested negative, which to be honest I had expected.

But then I suggested that it was possible I had high functioning Asperger’s because after all of my research it was the closest explanation I could come up with. He told me that was impossible; I could make eye contact and hold conversations well.

And that right there told me how incompetent he was. He didn’t even know that females were less likely to have those symptoms and didn’t believe me when I told him. And not believing me was the worst part.

I was a woman of color who was young and looked even younger. How could I possibly know anything? I can’t seem to shake that if I were a middle-aged white man, a peer to my doctor, maybe he would have taken me more seriously, because misdiagnosis is one thing — openly not listening to your patient is another.

When I first started having symptoms, I doubted myself, but after someone else noticed them, I had at least some clarity in knowing that something was wrong. Now, whenever something feels off, I don’t hesitate to seek medical advice. If it ends up being not much of anything, no harm done, but if I were to ignore it and it was something, then I end up being the one paying for it. So if a doctor doesn’t listen to me and pay close attention to my concerns, they will lose my trust, because they clearly don’t trust me to know my own body.

Internet, calm right down about Rihanna's tribute to the royal family, because she's just doin' her.

More: Brace Yourself Because Drake and Rihanna Are So Awkward Now It Hurts

Last week, on Queen Elizabeth's 91st birthday, RiRi celebrated by sharing a series of Photoshopped pics of the monarch to her Instagram. They were all photos of some parts of the queen mashed up with some parts of herself, meaning there were skimpy outfits involved. It was definitely weird, but is it wrong that we're sort of into it?

There's just something kind of hilarious about seeing Queen Elizabeth's stoic face attached to Rihanna's miles-long legs. Also there's this one where Queen ElizaRhi is holding a 40 with her boobs out in a bodega, and that's just the kind of quality humor the internet exists for. Sorry, not sorry.

Some people are super not here for it, because they say it's disrespectful to the queen. And yeah, maybe they have a point. But everything we know about Queen Elizabeth tells us she can take a joke, so we're not going to jump on the rage train until we know she's mad, because we kinda suspect she's not mad.

Also, Rihanna and Prince Harry are, like, best friends, so she probably cleared this with him. Maybe. OK, probably not. But she's got an in with the royal family, so this is probably fine.

We could barely get through the produce aisle when we were newly pregnant, but somehow Serena Williams managed to win the Australian Open at eight weeks gestation.

But then again: this is Serena Williams we're talking about, after all. We've loved and admired the badass, tough-as-nails Williams for years. And now we're loving getting to know the secret softie side of Williams as she prepares to become a mom.

More: Serena Williams crushed a reporter with serious shade

On Monday, Williams — awaiting her baby with fiancé Alexis Ohanian — wrote a very sweet note to her unborn child on Instagram.

“My Dearest Baby, You gave me the strength I didn’t know I had,” Williams said. “You taught me the true meaning of serenity and peace. I can’t wait to meet you. I can’t wait for you to join the players box next year.”

Williams' note was also an adoring birthday message to her fiancé:

“I am so happy to share being number one in the world with you…. once again today. On @alexisohanian bday."

Fans of jalapeño-flavored potato chips may need to find a new favorite snack food. According to the FDA, Frito-Lay announced a recall of select jalapeño-flavored Lay’s kettle-cooked potato chips and jalapeño-flavored Miss Vickie’s kettle-cooked potato chips due to the possibility of salmonella in the seasoning.

But before you go freaking out and believing that the runs you had this morning are directly related to this recall, it’s important to note that the FDA said that "no illness related to this matter has been confirmed to date."

So, salmonella actually hasn't even been found in Frito-Lay's supply — but the company said it was recalling the products "out of an abundance of caution.” And who can blame them given the crazy recalls that have been happening lately, from Whole Foods cheese to edamame? Buzzkill.

The chips affected by the recall were distributed to retail stores and vending machines and have a guaranteed fresh date of July 4 or prior. For more info, call Frito-Lay consumer relations at 866-272-9393 or visit www.jalapenochiprecall.com.

In case you happen to be one of those people who worry about everything (raises hand), there are a few key things to know about salmonella poisoning. It is a bacteria that makes people sick — sometimes really sick, especially if you fall into the high-risk category of elderly, infants and those with impaired immune systems.

Most people with salmonella develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps between 12 and 72 hours after infection according to the CDC. Seems quick, right? Well, if you end up with this lovely bacteria, you'd better plan on staying home for at least four days to a week, because that’s how long it’s going to take for most people to get rid of it. Yikes.

I know I have to be careful about bathing my dog. Her skin is sensitive to moisture, and if I don’t dry her off carefully, she is prone to mild irritation. She also loves long hikes through the woods, and the more mud we encounter, the better. As a result, I have spoken to my vet at great length about bath time.

Whether it is when your pooch is still an accident-prone pup, a mud puddle-loving adult or an aging senior with that “old dog smell,” our dogs go through periods where they need more baths than usual.

How often should you bathe a puppy?

Puppies get into messes. Potty training comes with stinky risks, and curious puppies get into all sorts of odorous situations.

More: Don't ignore your dog's bad smell — it could be a sign of a serious medical issue

Veterinarian Cheryl Yuill writes for VCA Hospitals that if a puppy soils itself, “there is no question that it should be bathed immediately.” If you find that your puppy requires frequent baths, however, she recommends talking to your veterinarian about the best pet shampoo for your dog’s age, breed and skin type.

How often should you bathe an adult dog?

Adult and senior dogs should be bathed when necessary, but not more than that. In other words, only wash your dog if he is dirty or starts to get that distinctive doggy odor.

Terese DeManuelle, a veterinary dermatologist, says, “it’s safe to bathe your dog with veterinary shampoo once a week.” However, there is such a thing as too much cleanliness.

More: How to help your dog avoid dry, itchy skin this winter

Overbathing, especially with human shampoos or detergents, strips the beneficial oils from your dog’s fur and can cause irritation. The pH in human shampoos, even baby shampoo, is not designed for dogs. This is why Yuill strongly recommends using a shampoo recommended by your veterinarian or a shampoo approved for use on dogs.

Some breeds require more baths than others. Dogs with oily coats, like water breeds and hounds, may require more frequent baths to keep them smelling fresh and clean and their coats healthy. Labrador retrievers, basset hounds and beagles are especially prone to greasy coats, so if you own one of these breeds, be prepared to share your shower on a fairly regular basis.

How often should you bathe short-haired vs. long-haired dog?

Your dog’s coat length doesn't really affect how frequently a dog should be bathed. Because each dog's lifestyle and coat are unique, how often your dog needs to be bathed will depend on how oily their coat is, how quickly odor accumulates and how often they get dirty. Regardless of your dog's coat length, you should try not to bathe them more than once a week without consulting your veterinarian.

How often should you bathe dogs with sensitive skin?

Some dogs have sensitive skin. The best way to figure out how often to bathe sensitive pups is to talk with your veterinarian to make sure there is no underlying cause for your dog’s sensitive skin.

Your veterinarian may recommend a medicated shampoo to treat the cause, but regardless, it is a good idea to always use unscented dog shampoos on dogs with sensitive skin.

So if your McStinky needs a bath before you let him anywhere near the upholstery, grab some doggy shampoo and head to the shower — just as long as you don’t do it more than once a week without talking to your vet.

Abigail Breslin has long been an advocate for women who survive sexual assault, but only recently revealed it's because she's a survivor herself.

More: Abigail Breslin Tried to Stop a Tiffany Trump Twitter Roast

On Instagram, Breslin shared a chart from the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network about how many rape perpetrators walk free.

"#knowthefacts," she wrote alongside it.

There was one comment left on the post that Breslin felt the need to speak out about, though.

One of her followers wrote, "Reported rapes are the only rapes that count." That's when Breslin felt compelled to share her own story in detail for the first time.

"I did not report my rape. I didn't report it because of many reasons," she wrote. "First off, I was in complete shock and denial. I didn't want to view myself as a 'victim' so I suppressed it and pretended it never happened."

More: Abigail Breslin Tries to School Haters on Cyberbullying but Gets Attacked (PHOTOS)

She continued, "Second of all, I was in a relationship with my rapist and feared not being believed. I also feared that if my case didn't lead anywhere, he would still find out and hurt me even more."

Finally, Breslin wrote, "I knew how hurt my family and friends would be after finding out and I didn't want to put them thru that."

Breslin went on to say how the rape still affects her — how she jumps when she's touched unexpectedly and suffers from nightmares — and writes that she was diagnosed with PTSD following the trauma.

"To say that rapes reported are the only rapes that count contributes to the ideology that survivors of unreported rape don't matter," she wrote. "It's unfair, untrue and unhelpful. It's like you got a black eye from getting punched in the face, but because you didn't call the police, you didn't really get a black eye."

Breslin ended her post, "Unreported rapes count. Reported rapes count. End of story."

We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Infertility throws a whole host of challenges at the people it plagues, and none are easy to overcome. But one of the less obvious, not-always-talked about issues that comes with infertility is the change in relationship dynamic for those who are trying to conceive a baby with a partner.

In honor of National Infertility Week — which kicked off yesterday, April 23 — we decided to explore the impact that infertility has not only on individual women, but on their relationships too.

In the U.S., about 10 percent of women ages 15 to 44 have trouble getting pregnant or carrying a baby to term. According to researchers at the University of Maryland Medical Center, that’s more that 6.1 million women. Assuming just half of them are partnered up, that's at least a few million significant others who are also facing infertility and its fallout.

Below, six brave women get real about their battle with infertility and how it changed their relationships for better and worse.

Stronger love

“My husband and I have been through more emotionally in our first five years of marriage than many couples experience in the first 15 years! But when you're battling something so out of your control, like infertility, you really rely on those who know you best to be your sound board, your rock, and to help balance you when medications take your body for a spin. My husband and I have a new appreciation for our love, our life together, and are learning every day our future is out of our control. What we've found, together, is that there's an entire community of people dealing with this. It truly makes this disease so much more bearable.” — Liz Shaw, 29, from San Diego, California

A trigger for divorce

“My journey with infertility challenged me to my core. The first month my partner tried, I became pregnant with my first daughter. The pregnancy was not easy, and I found myself in need of emotional support for the first time in our relationship. This was not something Jack could give to me. Fast-forward a year, when we were ready to try for our second child. We conceived right away and everything seemed to be going well. However, I miscarried. From this time forward, conceiving was a challenge.

"It was almost like Jack and I were roommates who happened to share the same bed and take care of our young daughter together. The only time we worked together as a couple was once a month when I was ovulating. That was the only time I even wanted to talk to him because, from my perspective, it was like talking to a brick wall. I felt like Jack always thought that it was my fault. What I didn’t realize at the time was that he and I didn't have a strong foundation to begin with. Along the way, we tried a variety of things to get our relationship back on track. We went to counseling and even worked with an energy healer. Sadly, it was not able to help us heal our marriage.”  — Nancy, 47, Berkeley, California

Renewed faith

“My partner and I have been married for almost 10 years and trying to have a baby for nine. We've been through cysts, tumors, scar tissue, multiple surgeries, an IUI and two miscarriages. But infertility has made our relationship stronger than ever. We learned to trust God even more, communicate better, love deeper and use our story to encourage others. I love my husband so much.

"Doctors said we'd never conceive but we have — twice. Although those pregnancies ended in miscarriage, we still have faith, because the doctors told us it wasn't possible. And we know that one day, we'll have our healthy baby! My advice to women and their partners: Never give up. No matter what's happened, we've survived it and our stories are testimonies to help each other.” — Stacy Roberts, 33, Evans Georgia

A fresh spark

“I was terrified the love of my life would leave me because having children is one of life’s greatest adventures. The day he told me he married me for me, and not to have babies, I cried with relief and felt it was the most romantic thing he’d ever said to me. We chose not to let infertility define our relationship. Our life is full and rich. We now have two dogs, 13 nieces and nephews and we’re 'auntie and uncle' to countless of our friends’ children.

"We're celebrating our 10-year anniversary this week, and I'm happy to report that we're happily married and look forward to more adventures. We’re partners in life, feel lucky to have each other, and infertility is just one of the many hurdles we’ve jumped over in our life together. For women going through this, do what’s right for you and your relationship. Everyone’s experience is unique. Please know that it’s entirely possible to have a rich, rewarding life and relationship regardless of how fertility treatments work out.” — Tara, 44, Los Angeles, California

A more honest life

“I was on the fence about kids even after I got married, but my then-husband was dead set on having a 'little man.' After two years of marriage, we decided to try. Looking back, it’s clear the only reason we tried was that I thought giving him what he wanted would help our marriage. After a year of trying with no success, I went to the doctor and went through one round of IVF — that was all I could take. It was two emotional, tough years of trying to get pregnant.

"At times, I felt shame and guilt for not being able to give my husband a child of his own. Meanwhile, he seemed to be less and less interested in being the father of our child. Our marriage came to an end shortly after that. It was the first time I was truly honest with him. I told him I didn’t want to try anymore. We divorced, he met someone else and now has three children — all boys. It’s been nine years since we split and I remain childless, single and happier. I realized that I spent most of the relationship catering to his wants. If there was one thing I wish I'd done, it was to be more honest with my feelings from the start.” — Michelle, 52, Charlotte, North Carolina

Improved communication

“My battle with infertility started a little less than a year after we were married, when we decided to try for kids. Two years later, no luck. We both had surgeries, which didn’t help. Then we decided to foster-to-adopt two beautiful girls. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out either. So we embarked on IVF. Our hopes were answered two years in, and we finally got that positive pregnancy test — only to have a miscarriage.

When your body doesn’t produce the way you want, you feel a lot of guilt and shame. It’s really important to surround yourself with people who have gone through it. It impacts both you and your partner. You have to be open and talk about it. You have to work through it, because those emotions can really bring you down. It’s not going to make you feel great, but it will get you through the day. Most importantly, you have to be careful not to blame each other.” — Christine Kahan, 32, Baltimore, Maryland

More: 6 Signs You Might Be Struggling With Infertility

When we become parents, no one offers up a handbook guiding us in the right direction — and everybody makes some missteps as they attempt to guide their children through life. Sometimes, however, these missteps fall into toxic patterns that harm kids — and the worst part is, a lot of parents get sucked into toxic parenting styles without even realizing it's happening.

It's easy to project our own insecurities and issues onto our children. We'd never intentionally hurt our kids, and the good news is that recognizing toxic patterns is the first step to ditching them.

More: I Cried in Front of My Kid — and That's OK

SheKnows spoke to four mental health and relationship experts to find out which parental behaviors have the potential to damage the relationship parents have with their children.

First, it helps to have a definition of "toxicity" to work off of, since the term has come to encompass a whole slew of unhealthy relationship tactics. "Toxicity within this context would mean behaviors that are transmitted unto children that could potentially cause them direct or indirect harm," says licensed marriage and family specialist Kingsley Grant.

Modeling healthy relationship dynamics is absolutely vital. "[Our children] are a reflection of us," Grant notes. "Remember, their actions are learned, and they are mostly learned from those who are most influential in their lives — namely, parents."

So what kind of actions could cause a child direct or indirect harm? "If you curse at your children or yell at them in a way that when you're done, you suddenly realize you lost your temper... this is a sign that you’re overwhelmed, out of control and don’t have an appropriate outlet for your feelings." says April Masini, relationship expert and author. Masini warns extreme displays of emotion are one of the more obvious signs that a parent has a toxic relationship with their child.

More: How to Help Your Anxious Kid — When You Have Anxiety Too

Even if you aren't flying off the handle at your children as a conflict-resolution technique, they're still learning from you. That means that your kids are looking to their parents, so if mom and dad have knock-down drag-outs, they notice.

"These children will not know that there are alternative ways to manage conflicts because this is all they know and have learned," says Grant. "Their use of this approach in conflictual situations could lead to being hurt physically, emotionally or mentally. It could also lead to disciplinary issues in school."

Anger might seem like an obvious sign of toxicity, but it isn't just screaming that parents should avoid. Turning your kids into a shoulder to lean on is another problematic sign of toxic parenting.

"If you weep in front of your children, regularly, as a victim, you’re in a toxic relationship with them," Masini notes. "Learn to ask for help so you don’t act out. You shouldn’t suppress your feelings, but you do need to find an appropriate outlet and support for them. Your kids should not be that."

In fact, recognizing what is and isn't part and parcel of a healthy parent-child relationship is key to eliminating toxic behavior. If you find yourself habitually confiding in your kids or hoping they'll alleviate your stress, that's not a good sign, says Meredith Silversmith, MA, LMFT and owner of Nassau Wellness, a private practice in Long Island, New York.

"For example, a parent has a fear of flying, and when their child talks about taking a trip on a plane, [a toxic parent will] share their concerns and anxieties because it's too uncomfortable to think about their child being on a plane," says Silversmith. "Over time, the child can take on these worries as their own and carry them for their parent."

Expecting a child to take on an adult role like that is unhealthy and will likely cause more problems down the road. So, too will the common — and often well-meaning — mistake that parents make when they project their own aspirations and shortcomings onto kids, instead of allowing them to be individuals.

"When a baby is born, parents have so many hopes and wishes for their future and for their life. As this child gets older, becomes more independent... it can be challenging for some parents to adapt," Silversmith explains. "In these situations, a parent may continually push a child to follow his or her (the parent's) dreams or a parent may speak and act as if his or her wishes and interests are the child's, even in the face of other information. Under these circumstances, the child may begin to feel their needs and desires are not important."

These are all great examples of broader toxic behaviors, but we can get even more specific. Since a lot of parents are only doing or saying what they think is best for their kids, it can be hard to check yourself — especially if nothing seems out of the ordinary.

Elaine Taylor-Klaus, CPCC, PCC, and parent coach and co-founder at Impact ADHD, says the following phrases and behaviors are good indicators that all is not well:

• “You never listen to me." Hearing this means you need to ask yourself if you’re really listening.
• Your kids complain about the same thing repeatedly. Hearing this means you might want to ask yourself if you’re responding to their concerns.
• If you find yourself constantly identifying the ways in which other people are responsible for the upsets in your home, or it always seems to be someone else’s fault, you may be part of the problem.
• If you’re screaming or yelling more than you’d like, you already know you’re part of the problem.

Kylie Jenner has learned a lesson that just about every woman has had to learn at some point: No matter how much you love him, you can't fix a crappy boyfriend.

More: Kylie Jenner Is Low-Key Still Into Tyga if Her Latest Snapchats Are to Be Believed

Jenner and Tyga were together for years, while all of us women who have had freeloading, irresponsible BFs shook our heads and waited for the inevitable breakup. Tyga was so terrible with money he was living with Jenner after being evicted from multiple properties. He was buying her expensive jewelry and cars that resulted in her getting subpoenaed to testify in court about his finances. It's probably a pretty decent rule that if you end up having to testify before a judge about your boyfriend's behavior, it's a good time for him to not be your boyfriend anymore.

Jenner's family didn't approve of Tyga either, which is just one more thing to add to the pile of reasons she needed to drop the guy. But hey, she's only 19 years old. How many of us had shitty boyfriends when we were teenagers?

Luckily for the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, she appears to have fully moved on. She was spotted at Coachella holding hands with a new boo-thang, rapper Travis Scott. Some kind Coachella-goer even 'grammed it, because, you know, pics or it didn't happen.

As far as we can tell, Scott can afford his own place to live and isn't being sued or skipping out on bills or buying anyone luxury vehicles that he can't afford, so congrats to Kylie on trading up!

OK, before anyone gets too upset, Ed Sheeran is probably not quitting music.

More: Now Taylor Swift's Written Something About Ed Sheeran

Following reports that he's getting married and making babies and living like a normal person after his Divide tour wraps up, Sheeran had this to say:

With that said, here's the backstory.

An anonymous source close to Sheeran told the Daily Star that he's been so successful he's pretty much over it.

"Ed has pretty much achieved everything there is to achieve in music," the insider reportedly said. "He absolutely loves what he does and is riding the wave of his success at the moment, but at the same time he wants a more normal life."

Sheeran has been dating his high school sweetheart for a couple of years, and that's also a factor according to this anonymous source.

"When or if he gets married he wants to put his wife and kids first and not his career. If that means going AWOL for years then so be it," the insider explained. "The big test is if the relationship survives this album and the tour… When they got together Ed was on his year off but every day in his schedule for the next year is practically full."

Of course, it's possible that Sheeran doesn't want people to know his secret plan to quit music, so he's denying it to keep things under wraps. But, uh, why would he straight-up quit just because he has other things going on in life? Music isn't all-or-nothing. He could totally just dial it back. So our money's on this being just an internet rumor and there being new Ed Sheeran music in our lives for a long time to come.

Has it ever crossed your mind that the co-worker you grab lunch (and share juicy workplace gossip) with may not actually have your back? According to a study published in the Journal of Management, these types of ambivalent relationships with co-workers who may or may not be real, loyal friends — aka frenemies — have a bigger impact on us at work than you might realize.

Jessica Methot, a Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations associate professor and co-author of the study, looked at whether or not workplace relationships that are considered “hot and cold” affect our emotions at work and consequently our job performance. And wouldn’t you know, she discovered that these relationships often create mixed feelings among employees in the workplace, which is likely to lead to job performance that is also unpredictable.

Surprisingly, though, there is a bright side to that unpredictability. While most of us know that relationships with people we love to hate can cause stress that's bad for our health, chances are, they can also motivate us to do better at our job.

In a review of the findings in Rutgers, Methot says, “prior studies have shown a link to increased stress, high blood pressure and rapid aging — suggesting that 'frenemies' are worse than enemies. Yet, ambivalent relationships are also associated with greater creativity and higher productivity, perhaps because they fuel a competitive spark.” 

Sound familiar? Personally, I can definitely attest to some pretty kick-ass projects finished after a confrontational run-in with a work frenemy…

If nothing else, Methot’s findings reaffirm what many of us who have been on the other end of these love-hate relationships already know. Relationships with co-workers are some of the most complicated interpersonal interactions we have. Hopefully, if yours are on the ambivalent side, you can use any stress that may cause to your advantage rather than letting it drag you down.

Unless you were living under a rock for all of 2015, you know who Marie Kondo is. Author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, the book that transformed closet-cleaning and home-organizing for millions of people, Kondo's back at it again — this time with a graphic novel called The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up.

The book will tell the fictional story of a young female character in Tokyo named Chiaki who hires Kondo to help her deal with her clutter and overhauls not only her home, but also her love life and overall sense of purpose. Cute, right?

If you weren't inspired by Kondo's first couple of books, which follow the principle that if a particular object or piece of clothing doesn't spark joy in you when you pick it up, you should get rid of it, then maybe you should read Chiaki's tale and see if that inspires you to get on top of your spring-cleaning.

And if not, you'll still probably enjoy the lighthearted, under-100-page graphic novel (or "manga," a style of comic book created in Japan). It'll be available starting on June 27 just in time for beach-reading season.

One of the best things about getting to the Top 12 on The Voice is hearing new and insightful feedback from the show's mentors. This season's choice was particularly impressive: country darling Shania Twain. We loved Twain so much, we hope she returns in the future — perhaps even as a full-time coach!

When meeting individually with the remaining contestants and their coaches, Twain offered direct, actionable advice. For example, she told Brennley Brown, "Less is probably best." When speaking with the lovely Aliyah Moulden, Twain offered valuable technical feedback and advised against oversinging.

With Twain, it's very easy to tell what she thinks of a particular contestant while they're up on stage. She really got into the performances this evening, and it was clear she was having the time of her life alongside the typical four judges. When it was time for critiques, however, she offered positive, yet useful feedback. She told Jesse Larson, "You hit the peak in that song right at the right moment. You got there with perfection. You are a stunning vocalist. Without your guitar, I could read your body language, the emotion."

At the end of the night, Twain told Vanessa Ferguson, "You have a sense of style inside and out and that comes out in your voice and your delivery."

We're certainly not alone in our love of Shania Twain. Several fans spoke out on Twitter this evening, and many really want her as a judge!

Not everybody was into Twain as a mentor, however. A few claimed that she was far too nice and should have offered harsher critiques, particularly when Lilli Passero "butchered" one of Twain's most iconic songs. But we can't imagine Twain being harsh, not to mention, that's really not her job as a mentor. She can provide constructive criticism, sure, but her kindhearted approach is exactly what the show's contestants need.

Here's hoping that we see more of Shania Twain on The Voice in the future!

What did you think of Shania Twain on The Voice? Should she be a permanent judge, or do you like the judging panel as is? Comment and share your opinion below.

Breakfast: It's a blessing and a curse. On leisurely weekend mornings, cooking up breakfast feels like a luxurious treat — but on the weekdays, finding something healthy to eat before work seems more like a punishment. Enter green smoothies. They're quick, they're tasty and they're also an amazing way to detox your body.

Green drinks are a whole food solution to getting more nutrient-dense vegetables (and fruit, depending on the green drink recipe) into your diet while helping you detoxify your system in the most natural way. Just be sure to tune up your diet and hydrate — green drinks won’t miraculously aid in weight loss or compensate for poor dietary choices.

Sorry, fam, but it's looking more and more like Tarek and Christina El Moussa's days on HGTV are numbered.

More: That Time Tarek El Moussa Used 17 Hashtags to Prove He Loves His Son

Flip or Flop Season 7 is definitely confirmed, but duh, because that's because they've been filming it since before the whole divorce scandal even began. According to a press release sent out by HGTV on Tuesday, "the seventh season of Flip or Flop, starring Tarek and Christina El Moussa, will feature 20 episodes — more than a traditional full season order. Five of the episodes are currently in post-production, with filming of the remaining episodes continuing through the fall." Very interesting.

Also included is a real feel-good quote from Allison Page, the general manager of U.S. programming and development at HGTV. "Tarek and Christina’s expertise and success flipping houses has made Flip or Flop an audience favorite on HGTV for many seasons," Page said. "The series is so successful because it shows how real estate and renovation savvy can lead to financial success."

So why does this make us think the El Moussas are maybe definitely being phased out of Flip or Flop? It's all about reading between the lines. Page says that Flip or Flop is successful, but doesn't speak to the El Moussa's future on the show. Meanwhile, HGTV recently announced plans to roll out five Flip or Flop spinoffs in other cities, meaning the show's success isn't contingent on the El Moussas anymore.

Also, having a longer-than-usual season seems like a really convenient way to wrap things up and let the El Moussas exit with a bang, doesn't it?

So far, the El Moussas and HGTV execs are staying tight-lipped about a Season 8. You'd think if it were in the cards, they'd announce it by now since filming would have to start within the next few months. We're not quite ready to call it, but we're not getting our hopes up for Tarek and Christina to stay with the show past Season 7.

Most of us don’t find commuting fun — and having a long commute as a working mom can be especially tough. What if, though, your travel is even more intense — and rather than heading to your office, you’re en route to someone else’s… across the country?

A portion of my job requires travel. Before my daughter was born, I had no qualms about hopping on a plane, sometimes to a new place (Pocatello, Idaho, anyone?) and exploring if any free time presented itself. Life has changed the way I spend time away from home, including how long and how much I can pack into a short period of time. Most trips I try to max out at two nights, though there are a couple of events annually, such as trade shows, where it’s closer to a four-night stay.

Here are a few ways to help make being away a little easier on you, your significant other and your little ones.

What’s for dinner? If you cook, make your family a favorite meal that can be easily reheated. It will be easier on your significant other since they won’t have to think about what’s for dinner when they get home, and you know there won’t be any fussiness related to a meal (hopefully) that they don’t like. Bonus points if there’s enough for leftovers.

Where’s Mommy? Video chat when you can. This can be tricky, especially if you’re in different time zones and the end of your day occurs after your child’s bedtime. An alternative is to make a video message that you can send to your significant other or whomever is watching your child so your child can see the message at bedtime.

Another idea is to send a postcard with some information on the town or city where you’re working. For example, the foothills in Pocatello are absolutely gorgeous, and you can drive 80 mph on the highway. Not bad, Pocatello. Not. Bad.

Breastfeeding basics: You know automatically that breastfeeding entails a bunch of extra equipment, if not an extra bag. This can be tough when you’re on a short trip and you’re trying to keep to a carry-on. Choosing a versatile bag that can fit your breast pump, related parts and your laptop and other necessary work needs is one viable option.

If you need a place to pump, check out the Mamava app — it will let you know where there are pump-friendly places, including ones with their own pods that provide privacy and a little bit of quiet. Being in airports often, this app has saved me a number of times when I needed to pump before or after a flight.

For breast milk, I highly recommend a company called Milk Stork, where you can ship back your breast milk in a cooler overnight. Although TSA now allows breast milk to go through security, I found that the way each airport handles milk is not consistent. For example, one airport only tested one bag of milk whereas another airport insisted on testing all (17!) bags. Did I mention you might want to give yourself some extra time at security? One more thing: check with your company to see if they will reimburse this cost. Thankfully, mine does.

Practical advice aside, give yourself some time to unwind and relax (if possible) when you’re at your hotel. How often do you get the opportunity to go to bed early — or even better, sleep in until 7?

The last thing most toddlers want is a new sibling to share the spotlight with. Those last days and moments leading up to the birth of a second child can be incredibly bittersweet for families as they help the firstborn prepare for the new arrival. (I know those were very, very hard days for our family. Oof.)

And that transition from only child to big sibling is rarely documented in photos.

So I can't help but feel a little weepy about a recent viral photograph of one mom hugging her firstborn tight just before giving birth to her second. The picture is both gorgeous and heartbreaking. One look and it's clear that life is about to change for this mother and daughter forever. (Keep the tissues coming, please.)

The image was shot by birth photographer Laura Paulescu of Portland-based Crowned Photography, who shared the picture on her Facebook page.

So what can we do to make the transition easier for kids who are suddenly going to have share Mom with a sticky, squalling, smelly infant? Love, love and more love. And hugs. There are never enough hugs, right? (Yes, another tissue, please. Thank you.)

As for us, eventually we convinced our toddler to stop bending her newborn sister's fingers backward when we weren't looking.

I wish I had a beautiful photograph like this, though, to show her now at 16. What a lucky big sister the little girl in this photo is, to have proof that she was never far from her mom's thoughts — and her mom's arms.

Tom Hardy is not just beautiful — he's also a literal superhero.

Seriously. Hardy happened to witness some guys take off with a stolen moped and then took off after them on foot, vaulting over fences, running through people's yards and across a building site, and then yelling, "I caught the cunt." Not even kidding right now.

"It was mental — like he’d switched to superhero mode in an action movie. Two boys on the nicked moped had jumped a red light and smashed into a car," one onlooker told The Sun. "Tom must have been walking down the road. He went off like a shot in pursuit and looked furious. If the kid had been dumb enough to resist I reckon Tom would have given him a good hiding. The kid looked wrecked and in shock. Tom Hardy’s clearly not a man you’d mess with. I think he even checked the kid’s ID before cops took over."

Um, did this witness accidentally stumble upon a filming location? Because there's no way this is real life. Oh, JK, it totally is. Hardy did that. It is completely real.

According to The Sun, the two men stole the moped and then ran a red light and crashed it into a Mercedes. They saw Hardy coming after them and tried to run away, but LOL, that didn't work.

The onlooker's girlfriend might have had the best comment about the whole sitch (or anything, ever): "I’m a big Tom Hardy fan and there was no mistaking him. He looked as mad as he does on telly."

BRB, dying, dead.

McDonald's aesthetic is pretty much known for being a colorful assault to the senses. Their logo involves glaring red and yellow arches and the interior design at their restaurants is so bright and unpleasant that only kids 10 and under (with no fear of the apparently rampant fecal matter contamination in the PlaySpace) would rather dine in than hit the drive-thru.

In keeping with all this, McD's uniforms have always been comically unflattering, with yellow and red collared shirts and awkward hats, but again, that was to be expected — this is basically a clown-themed burger restaurant we're talking about. So it's understandable that the new McDonald's uniforms, which just launched, are turning some heads.

Comprised of black and charcoal color-blocked shirts and aprons, these ensembles will make your local McDonald's look like it's staffed by a bunch of quasi-Goth Chopped contestants. Oh, wait, there is a tiny hint of yellow here and there to remind you that you aren't, in fact, being served by the time-traveling residents of a dystopian future. But it's hard to keep that in mind when the overall look is so... 1984.

The color blocking also gives the uniforms a hilariously hipster vibe. The dark gray shirts with lighter pockets look like they were grabbed from an H&M rack, and the aprons serve to remind that butchery is an up-and-coming trend amongst the cooler-than-thou Brooklyn set. If you ask me, they look kind of like murder aprons, but what do I know?

It's likely that the masterminds behind the new McDonald's garb were aiming for a simple, sophisticated look that wouldn't embarrass (not to mention do the opposite of flatter) every staffer who wears them. But maybe they went too far in the other direction of those obnoxiously bright outfits.

Either way, people serving up fast-food burgers, Goth hipster style, is just way funnier than it should be. Instead of french fries, I'll get my next McDonald's meal with a side of red wine, a moody pout and the complete works of George Orwell. Thanks!
