Here are a few ideas that are sure to put a smile on your dad's face this Father's Day.

1. Man Soap

Man Soap

Obviously men and women smell different, and sometimes when mama is buying the toiletries, daddy smells a little feminine. Maybe he doesn't want to, but no one ever asks him, so instead of using all that frou frou soap he just opts for his own "manly" smell. Well, now he can be clean and still maintain his machismo with Man Soap in scents like bacon, beer, cigar and even "freshly cut and shaved" scent, to name a few.

3. Daddy Diaper Changing Tool Box

The Daddy Diaper Changing Tool Box

The Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox is the perfect Father's day gift for the new father or expectant father. It's the perfect way to get daddy involved in the day-to-day care of their impending bundle of joy.

The Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox contains some of the bare necessities of fatherhood like baby wipes, hand wipes, formula container, diapers and a pacifier. It also contains some lighthearted fun items like goggles, rubber gloves and ear/nose plugs and a biohazard bag to mention a few. Of course, after having two babies of my own, I am not so sure that the last list is not completely necessary in some instances.

Amped up and delicious, this medley of maple, bacon and coffee beans will get your dad's Father’s Day off to the perfect, tasty start.

6. Bruce Lee Dragon Fists

Bruce Lee Dragon Fists

Obviously your dad is cooler than cool but what if he wants to take it to the next level? I have fond memories of watching Bruce Lee movies with my dad and then play Kung Fu fighting afterwards. The best part was the silly sounds and pretend moves we made while "fighting." The Bruce Lee Dragon Fists are plush fists that fit right over your own and come complete with all those cool Kung-Fu sounds electronically built in. Ka-pow, indeed!

What's the silliest gift you've ever given your father for Father's Day?

At first, I couldn't decide what to make. Cookies or brownies? Meh. Too ordinary. Cinnamon rolls for the morning after they arrive? Too risky; they could easily get tough overnight (cinnamon rolls are always better the first day). And then it struck me: Bundt cake! But not your average Bundt cake. I wanted something that could serve as dessert the night they arrive, and/or coffee cake for breakfast the next morning.

I've made cinnamon-spiked Bundt cake before, but I wanted to make this cake extra special and suitable as a gift. To do that, I started by adding a little more good-quality vanilla (truth be told, the vanilla bean fell out of the bottle and into the running mixer; oops). Then, I nestled semisweet chocolate morsels in the batter and put half of that batter into a Bundt pan. The next layer was a sweet and warm blend of sugar and cinnamon, followed by the rest of the batter. After the cake baked to perfection, I dusted it with powdered sugar. As you slice into the cake, sweet and wonderful layers of chocolate and cinnamon are revealed. It's divine.

Whether they serve it after a hearty cabin feast, or enjoy it dunked in coffee the next morning, I'm pretty sure they'll be laughing and sharing stories about their time in the woods.

Chocolate chip Bundt cake with cinnamon swirl

Serves 10-12

For the cake:

• Cooking spray
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
• 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 10-inch Bundt pan with cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and 1-1/2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

4. Beat in the vanilla.

5. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix well.

6. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until blended and smooth.

Thankfully, my pet had been allergy tested by her previous family, so I had an idea where to start. The problem was, she was allergic to virtually everything: grass, dust and storage mites, just to start. But is pricey allergy testing really your first step?

I reached out to Jessica Vogelsang, DVM, founder of Pawcurious and veterinary adviser to Pet360 and petMD, to get some tips on when dog owners should reach for veterinary help.

The three main types of allergies, she said, are environmental, flea and food.

The signs vary widely, but unlike human allergies, dog allergies tend to present with skin problems, no matter the cause. Some symptoms and signs are recurrent ear infections (who knew?), incessant licking of the forepaws or splotchy, red rashes. "Unfortunately," said Vogelsang, "all three of them kind of look the same from the outset."

Environmental allergies

The most common type of allergy among dogs is environmental, and most dogs show signs by the time they're 6 years old. Those allergens can be anything from grass to pollen to dust mite dander (sound familiar?). For environmental allergies, it's important to notice when the dog is exhibiting symptoms. Does it lick and chew at its paws after frolicking in the grass? Is its belly red after lying on the lawn? That could signal this type of allergy.

Flea allergies

Flea allergies are the second most common type of allergy, and Vogelsang says the easiest to treat. "I hope it's flea allergies. It's the one that's easiest to deal with." Dogs with a flea allergy — which is actually an allergy to the flea's saliva — will, well, "itch like crazy," Vogelsang says. But the itch will be severe all over, not just where the dog was bitten. Untreated, it can cause recurrent hot spots, infections and bald spots on a dog's rear end. (Tip: An itchy tail can signal a flea allergy.) This one, thankfully, is an easy fix. Be sure your pet stays up-to-date on flea-control medication.

Food allergies

Food allergies are actually the least common of all dog allergies, but Vogelsang cautions against confusing a food allergy with something else. "You can have an intolerance to food (but) that's not really an allergy." To determine whether your dog has a food allergy or intolerance, Vogelsang recommends an 8-12 week elimination diet.

Diagnosis and treatment

I'm going to be honest, having a dog with severe allergies is more than a one-visit process. You may go through various types of diagnostic tests and treatments before finding relief. Veterinarians approach diagnoses differently — some may recommend or prescribe antihistamines, allergy shots or other treatments to see if the symptoms subside before moving on to allergy testing, which can be costly. Skin testing, which can be used to confirm an environmental allergy, can be about $300, while the shots themselves are about $140. Blood testing can cost up to $300. That cost may not include exam fees or fees for sedation, which is typically necessary for a skin allergy test.

Some pet owners get frustrated with the process — and the expensive treatments. Vogelsang shares a story in which an owner came in to euthanize her dog because of her recurrent infections from a flea allergy. (It ends on a good note, though — Vogelsang adopted the dog herself). But I can say from experience that once you've found the right balance of treating the allergy and avoiding it, you and your dog will be much happier. If in doubt, reach out to your vet before your dog starts experiencing severe problems, which could include hot spots and secondary infections, which make diagnosis more difficult.

"Don't be scared to reach out," Vogelsang says. "We want your pet to get better; we've gotten really good at figuring things out."

Using ears of fresh corn, cream cheese and heavy cream and by adding a few cans of some spicy diced green chilies, this is the perfect side dish for summer barbecues.

Adding the green chilies to this sweet corn recipe gives the perfect hint of heat without overpowering the recipe. But if you don't like spicy flavors, then opt out of using the green chili peppers, and try adding in finely diced sweet red peppers instead.

The way most people handle barking actually only makes the problem worse. If your dog is barking and you start yelling for it to stop, in its head, you're just joining in (meaning, it thinks it's doing the right thing).

Dogs don't bark just to bark, just like we don't talk just to talk (well, mostly). The barking represents a need, and the only way you can solve the problem is to address the need. According to Lauren Novack, a certified professional dog trainer and owner of Lauren's Leash, there are several root causes of barking, all of which may require slightly different methods.

Alert barking — This is totally normal behavior and the job dogs were bred to do. They're just trying to let you know that someone's in the vicinity. Allow the dog to bark a couple of times, then calmly thank it and cue it to another behavior. For example, you can train your dog to go to its spot.

You can also train a dog to stop barking on cue by teaching it to start barking on cue. It takes time and patience, but it's easy. Just wait until it starts barking and say "speak," then give it praise and a treat. Then when it stops barking, say "quiet," then repeat the praise-treat process.

I used this method with my dog Mosby, and you should know that if a dog really has that "quiet" thing down like my dog did and it doesn't stop when you say quiet, something is wrong. One evening he ignored my request for silence three times. When we got up and checked, two teens were breaking into our vehicle in the driveway! Thanks to Mosby's awareness, they didn't get away with anything of value.

Separation anxiety/distress — The dog is barking because it's having the canine version of a panic attack. It takes time, but it can be reduced. You need to desensitize your dog to you leaving the house and give it every reason to be confident you'll come back. Start with departure cues (things like grabbing your keys, putting on your coat, etc.). Encourage it to stay calm while all of this is happening, then reward it. Then move to you actually leaving the room, then finally with you leaving the house for a few minutes, then returning. As the dog gets comfortable with each step, you can increase the length of time you're out of its sight.

Boredom — One of the key differences between your kids and your dog is that your kids can come up to you and say, "Mommy, I'm bored." Barking can be a dog's way of saying the same thing. Make sure it has plenty of physical and mental stimulation, which can curb boredom barking. Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise every day, too. A well-exercised puppy is a more well-behaved puppy.

Dog/dog reactivity — Just as humans react to other humans they meet, dogs react to one another when they meet. Just because you aren't having fear or anxiety about another dog doesn't mean your dog isn't fearful, which may cause barking. Novack advises a classical counterconditioning program. "Every time your pup sees another dog, hot dogs fall from the sky," she says. Once your dog isn't scared of other dogs, you can teach a more appropriate response, like teaching it to look at you instead of the source of its stress (which is probably pretty easy with hot dogs in your pocket).

Should you teach your dog not to bark?

If your dog is barking excessively, yes, you have to teach it to be quieter. In many communities, an excessively barking dog is considered a nuisance. Depending on local laws, you could be ticketed, receive warnings or even lose your dog after several unsuccessful warnings.

But barking a little is fine. It's just part of being a dog. Novack warns to avoid products like shock collars. They're cruel, and while the barking may stop, you could soon see other behavioral issues as the dog's emotional state deteriorates. "Imagine if you were having a panic attack and started crying," explains Novack, "and every time you sobbed you got shocked?" Not a fair trade.

My brother and I had an interesting talk today about our father and how different we are from each other. The legacy that we are manifesting for ourselves is wrought with proving the system wrong when it says children who come from dysfunctional households can't succeed. We're overacheivers, high performing and extremely driven personalities. Surprisingly enough, we didn't grow close until my birthday on March 15, 2007, the day our father died of a drug overdose. We met for the first time over the phone; he gave me a call that evening to share the horrible news.

I cope with my depression around this time by sending supportive texts to friends that have children, and I reach out to male mentors. The other side of this is feeling like I missed out on having a dad. I blamed myself for a long time, thinking that my circumstances as a young, black girl in Detroit dealt me a bad hand. I went to a private school where most of the students had two parents at every PTA meeting. My grandmother played the role of mother and father, which is indeed a blessing. But seeing articles about "How to cook for dads" can be a tad harrowing when you feel down about how you grew up.

If I could physically see and hear my father today I would let him know that I loved him. Regardless of his shortcomings, I know that we would be rather impressed by how far I've come. I'd show him around my neighborhood, ask him if he'd want to go to the jazz shed (jam session), convince him to get up on stage and play trumpet and shape Father's Day into something that I could feel positive about. I used to daydream about making cards for him, letting him know that I loved him. With addiction as a barrier, most of the items were forgotten and misplaced. After a while my grandmother thought it was best for me to stop trying, not because she was mad at him, but she was tired of seeing tears streaming down my face so much.

I know this entire post seems sad but there are some positive points to share if you've dealt with drug addiction in such a personal way. Father's Day becomes a time to connect with other people that have dealt with this type of scenario. I usually hold brunches and dinners with friends. We gather to talk about how much we miss our dads and play board games. It's great to feel supported during times like that especially when the experience feels isolating for the majority of your life. I encourage others to do the same because we have a special bond that isn't always best. Having support is key and without that you'll spend the weekend stewing in anger or trying to hide from the world. I'd much rather have 15 friends in a restaurant laughing than spending it alone crying all day.

Hopefully this common yet rarely discussed circumstance will help someone think about coming out of their shell and trying a better way to connect to others if you've lived the life I just described. Through sharing my story over the past three years I have made countless connections with people who struggle with "what could've been" when it comes to their family. Growing up in a dysfunctional family and surviving it is a victory in itself. Gaining an understanding that growing up with an addict doesn't have to rule your life is a major accomplishment. Using Father's Day as a way to bring people together to work through a harsh circumstance has become a solution to feeling empty and indifferent. I might have "missed out" but I'm finding my way to bring others through a tough time.

Getting divorced was the best thing to happen to my dad's parenting skills

In fact, I vividly remember approaching my mother with my two siblings one day when I was 9 years old, as we all requested, pleaded even, for her and my father to get a divorce already. We knew then and we know now that things are much better for everyone that way.

When the divorce finally happened when I was 11, we quickly realized what we had done. No longer were our needs met by our one experienced parent, but now we had to rely on both to feed, clothe and entertain us while at their respective houses. I will never forget the first time my sister and I walked into our new shared bedroom and bathroom at my dad’s house. Deciding to surprise us, my father had completely taken it upon himself to decorate and shop for our new part-time home. Although we lied to my father’s hopeful face at the time, I admit now that we were less than impressed with his choice of decor, body wash, even maxi pads. I was not optimistic for the future, immediately doubting if my dad would ever be able to learn our preferences, handle our adolescent crises and relate to us on a deeper level.

After a couple of years of trial and error, complaints and apologies, tears and laughter, I realized my father had become a different man. No longer tempted to distance himself from my mother while she handled our needs, I had a new and improved dad. This dad did not feel detached; he was as involved in my life as possible. This dad knew how much mustard I liked on my turkey sandwiches, the name of my current school crush and my preference of vanilla deodorant.

This amazing person I once had so little faith in had unknowingly transformed into my favorite role model and friend. Divorce does not typically seem like a blessing to young preteens, but somehow it was exactly what both my father and I needed to reach our full potential. For me, I was able to learn patience and acceptance early on, and my dad was turned into a fully functioning dad, forced out of the unfortunate stereotype that can be a scapegoat for lazy fathers.

Now I have a dad that embodies the typical mom role too, although I hope that for other men out there it does not take a divorce to get them more engaged. On this Father's Day, I celebrate a person who stepped up when it is so easy to fall back, and I encourage all fathers to do the same. To those with single dads that might have struggled to develop their mommy skills, appreciate the efforts they have made, and cut them some slack — you were probably much more frightening as a teenager than you realize.

Fun things to do with dad for Father's Day

Father's Day is a reminder to me that one day I may face him having an identity crisis about who he is, where he comes from and who his birth parents are. From what I've read, it seems every adopted child has questions and often wants answers. Just the other day I mentioned to a friend I needed to return a skirt I had bought and he heard me. He then said "Mommy, you may need that skirt if you get married." I asked him if he wanted me to get married and he said "Yes, because I want a dad." His comment is no reason for me to run off and do just that, but obviously having a dad is on his mind.

He understands that he wasn't born in my belly, but rather someone else's and that she asked me to raise him for her. Christopher's birth mom made really poor choices on how she lived her life (she was one tough cookie, as it shows in his little spirit every day) and she couldn't remember who she was with the night he was conceived. She was stunned when he popped out and that he was truly biracial. I have DNA information on my son stored in a national tracking database that may one day lead me to his birth family roots. I'm thankful that we may have that option for the future.

So how do I handle the present day questions and especially Father's Day? Do I ignore it or embrace it? Do I tell him to call me "Moddy" because I am Mom and Dad to him? When writing this blog I discovered that the noun father/dad is synonymous with protect, comfort, advise and nurture... are these actions tied to just one gender? I think you would answer the same I would; no, they are not.

Last year I decided to celebrate Father's Day in a different way. We got away for a special overnight trip and we talked about all the people in his life who love him and who we consider our family. Naming all of our friends and family helps him understand he has an enormous amount of people in his life who care about him and who want to protect him, comfort him, give him advice and nurture him just like a dad would. We're not overly religious, but I do want my son to grow up with an appreciation for religion and having faith in something bigger than himself, so we also talk about God our Father and how He wants to help guide and protect us too.

So the dance continues each time we get the "Where is... ?" or "Do you have a... ?" and I want to protect him from the questions that may not have the answer he wants to hear... and then I remind myself that Christopher will believe that our family unit is one that is not different, but rather special and unique if I keep dancing to the right beat and helping to create his story.

A big Happy Father's Day to all of you "Moddys" reading this blog!

More: The Bachelor alums band together to support Kaitlyn's on-show sex

1. The prostitutes

That whole scene with Adam having sex with a prostitute in front of Chet just totally blew my mind, and it was really the scene that drew the line for me between truth and fiction. And yet, is it bad that I still want Rachel and Adam to end up together? Although, if this were real life and Adam was actually The Bachelor, he would be even more hated than Juan Pablo.

2. The drugs

Chet has already been hospitalized for his excessive cocaine use. Not to mention all the alcohol-fueled debauchery. I know that alcohol flows rampantly on reality dating shows, but let's hope other drugs aren't as readily available as UnREAL would have us believe.

More: UnREAL will make you never, ever want to go on The Bachelor

3. The editing

Another moment in UnREAL that had me crying foul was when Rachel edited Anna's reaction to her father's death to make it look like she was a real b**** rather than a grieving and totally justified reaction, considering what the show did to her. If that were to happen in a show like The Bachelor, Anna would be running straight to a tabloid to set the record straight, and the show would get so much hate. I just can't see the editing being that extreme. Though I know there have been debates in the past about just how much The Bachelor edits and whether that editing goes too far, that moment in UnREAL was an unbelievable extreme.

4. The manipulation

There's coaching contestants, and then there's illegal activity. Rachel has walked that line one too many times throughout UnREAL. Mostly she's just a master manipulator, but the contract blackmail is out of control.

5. The exhaustion

As someone who started her career working on set (and a reality game show, at that), I can tell you that the days are exhausting. It's a long and busy schedule. But I was never too tired to take a shower.

More: Kaitlyn Bristowe speaks out about The Bachelorette's sex scandal

6. No real connection

Adam doesn't seem to actually spend a lot of time with the girls. Except with Grace, of course, but their time in the wardrobe trailer is definitely not about love. And while I don't think the Bachelor actually has connections with all 25 ladies, I do believe that he genuinely spends enough time with his ladies to form true relationships with a handful.

All in all, UnREAL is an awesome show that's definitely worth the watch if you love some good drama. It is one chaotic moment after the next that has kept me absolutely hooked since the pilot. So, while I'll definitely keep watching, I just think it's also important to keep the show in perspective. UnREAL is fiction, based on a real reality TV phenomenon. And while I haven't seen The Bachelor behind the scenes firsthand, I think it's safe to say that sometimes it's bad, but it's never that bad.

Following her split last week from longtime boyfriend Nick Jonas, Culpo spoke publicly about the breakup for the first time on her social media accounts, where she reflected on heartbreak and the lessons she's learned from it.

In a touching post on Instagram Friday, the former Miss Universe captioned a photo of the sun setting behind a row of palm trees with, "Your heart just breaks, that's all. Heartbreak is hard but you find more and more things to be grateful for every day. One of those things is all of you. Thank you all. Yes I'm going to be okay and I love u guys so so much... every day is a blessing."

Fans quickly came to Culpo's support, posting nearly 2,000 comments to the photo.

"Aww he doesn't even seem affected but she's broken hearted awwe stay strong love," one fan wrote. Another added, "Its def. Hard to devote So much time and energy to one person and their happiness, just to tell you that its Not enough. Been there girl."

Jonas and Culpo were first seen publicly together at the 2013 U.S. Open, almost exactly two years ago. Rumors of an impending engagement swirled around the couple regularly, especially after the 2015 Miss Universe pageant, where Jonas, performing during the show, got down on one knee in front of her.

"I went down and sang to her and I go on a knee and approached her," he later told The Sun. "Her face was in full panic, she thought I was going to propose on national TV. We're 22 so there's plenty of time to do that... we're still quite young, and we're going on a journey."

Culpo followed her inspirational Instagram post with a sweet message to her fans on Twitter, again in support of self-love.

You don't do "needy." You pride yourself on being someone who never lets other people see her sweat. This is great for competing in IRONMAN marathons, scaling the ladder of success and flying to the rescue of friends in dire straits. But it isn't always wonderful for love. If you present yourself as totally self-sufficient and independent, then what’s the man there for? Guys like to feel needed. It makes them feel like manly men. Show a little vulnerability — even if you have to fake it. You'll be amazed by what a turn-on this can be.

Why is it that now that you’ve found someone new the person who broke your heart wants you back? It's human nature of course, but it’s also astrology’s job to help you navigate these kinds of emotional twists and turns. Remember that Saturn is now retrograde in Scorpio. This is why you're thinking of going back the way you came, but it's best to remember that anything that didn't work out before is best left by the side of the road. Meanwhile a spectacular Venus/Uranus trine on June 28 shows that it's all-systems go with your new romance.

It's pretty clear that you won’t be able to disentangle yourself from your current relationship. Either you depend on him too much for your survival or you've spent so much money financing your lifestyle together that you simply can't afford to cut ties. Most people would feel trapped in a situation like this, but for some reason your predicament has the opposite effect. You might even say that you've never felt closer to him. It only goes to show that sometimes it's the closed door that opens a window to the chambers of the heart.

It doesn't matter if he falls short. What's important is that he keeps trying — and he does despite his many screw-ups. This is where friends just don't get it. They think that you're being far too lenient and understanding. What they don't appreciate is that you were born under the most nurturing signs of the zodiac. It's in your nature to be sympathetic, supportive and encouraging. You might also point out that these are the very same qualities that your friends expect from you. If you're there for them, then why wouldn't you be there for him?

For some reason he just isn't measuring up to expectations. Maybe he’s not ambitious enough, brings too much emotional baggage to the table or you're too focused on work right now.

It could, given the right encouragement. Meanwhile enjoy the fact that you’ve got two men fighting over you. This kind of attention doesn't come around every day.

For weeks, people have asked you to be more real. Your response has been to tell them what you think of them — uncensored and without apology. As you've probably figured out by now, this wasn’t exactly what loved ones and friends had in mind. Perhaps the "real" that they were looking for was you and not your opinions? It's ironic that for someone who likes to get naked, you have a hard time undressing emotionally. It comes from years of living defensively. The Venus/Uranus trine on the 28th signals that it’s time for that guard to come down.

Once again your spouse is being manipulated by his family. It irks you how they take advantage of him and watching him pander to them doesn’t help. Remember that these behavior patterns were set in stone long before you arrived on the scene so there’s no way that you’re going to change their dysfunctional dynamic. However, you can help him to make different choices based on your familiarity with the players and on your insight. Your husband may not be able to break with history, but it doesn’t mean that he has to repeat it either.

Usually you go for the button-down type. You like men with six-figure salaries, the right kind of pedigree and inexhaustible ambition. Well, Venus, the planet of love and beauty, has something different in store for you. Don't be surprised if you wind up exchanging glances and phone numbers with someone from the wrong side of the tracks on or around June 28. It may start out as a physical thing, but it could grow into something more if you let it. This could be the very guy who can help you down off your high horse.

You'll suddenly feel the strength of your convictions on June 22 when Jupiter forms a fiery trine to Uranus. For weeks you've wondered if you and a certain someone were truly meant to be. Circumstances seemed to be set against you and the lack of support from family and friends didn’t help. But there comes a time when you have to take a running leap of faith with love. Letting other people decide your heart for you is a recipe for regret. If he makes you feel alive and special, then that's all your heart needs to know.

You're often accused of being adrift or at sea, but all that changes on June 24 when Mars — the planet of what I want — enters that part of your solar horoscope that pertains to romance. Mars is famous for pushing its way to the front of the line. Mars gives us our sharp elbows and heavy feet. If that means pushing some Boo Boo Kitty to one side or stepping on the toes of someone you know is using him, then you’ll do it. You’re playing for high stakes in love and you won’t settle for second best.

This is a whole new level of voyeurism of which I didn't realize our society was capable. The site that provides literal views into the apartments of several couples all day, every day is called RealLifeCam. And unlike The Truman Show, the premise of which was so unethical to me it was almost distracting, these couples have agreed to open up their private lives for public viewing.

More: 5 Reality TV tactics we're totally over

If you go to the site, you'll notice the names of several different couples that you can click on for a glimpse into various areas of their apartments. While the cameras in the kitchens and living rooms are often marked green, which means anyone can watch them without paying, there are several areas marked in red which means they are off limits, unless of course, you fork over $30.

So unlike in The Truman Show and EdTV, where bathroom stuff and sexy stuff was off limits (mostly), this website offers you a key to those "closed doors" for a pretty reasonable price. You can either become a standard member for $29.95, which allows you access to those locked doors for 30 days, or you can opt for the upgrade to premium membership. Premium membership cost $44.95 for 30 days, and gives you all access to the "premium only" couples, one of which is a polyamorous couple. You can also have five real live cams open at the same time, which I assume is for all those ADD voyeurs out there.

According to the website, this uncensored voyeurism is legal, because a) the couples agreed to it, and b) it's an Eastern European site. It can't really be classified as porn because most of the time nothing pornographic is happening. Remember, the cameras look into the couples' real-life apartments, and that means they're mostly doing mundane things like watching TV or making dinner. However, the open access to what normally goes on behind closed doors seems to be what's most appealing to internet voyeurs.

In fact, there's a whole niche of porn dedicated to this private life viewing. It's kind of ironic to think that now that so much of our lives happen online, people are choosing to watch real-life interactions to get off. As if we've forgotten what that looks like.

More: Is reality TV the kiss of death for marriage?

While I know it's a far cry from this, I sort of understand the inclination. My fiancé and I spend so much of our time together in the virtual world on our various devices, that when someone forgets to bring their phone out to dinner, it feels like a jarring amount of face-to-face engagement. That was a pretty terrifying reality, so we've started making certain times of day "internet-free time."

It's not easy and does sort of feel like internet therapy, but I think it's much more preferable to searching for "real life" on the internet to make up for what we're missing. That being said, if celebrities choose to put their lives on television for money, I have no problem watching them and making fun of their ridiculous behavior. But hey, I do the same with the penguins at the zoo.

1. We sell ourselves short

You've heard the phrases: "We get the love we think we deserve" and "You are what you attract." If we don't believe that we deserve an attractive man of good character, we're susceptible to attractive men of poor character.

If you find yourself winding up with the wrong men again and again, recognize that you're attracting and choosing them. That's where the change needs to happen.

2. We use the wrong dealbreakers

There's nothing wrong with a long checklist of qualities you want in a man. You have every reason to be choosy when selecting a partner for a long-term relationship. But too often we select for the wrong traits.

We choose novelty, adventure and impulsivity over stability, loyalty and empathy. If we want a stable, long-term relationship, we need to actively filter for those traits in dating.

3. We wait too long to date seriously

There are a whole host of good reasons to begin the search for a life partner before the age of 30. Taking into account lifetime wages, divorce risk, fertility and the supply of marriageable men, a woman's late 20s are the sweet spot for tying the knot.

4. We give too many "benefit of the doubts"

We interpret mixed messages in the most positive light possible, when they are really just bad messages crowding out good messages.

5. We fail to set boundaries

We find ourselves putting up with behaviors we swore we'd never tolerate. Yet we don't speak up for fear of rocking the boat (which is already leaky). We swallow our disappointment. This sends a clear message that we lack self-respect, thereby ensuring more bad treatment.

6. We forfeit our power

We're all give and no get. We go all in when he hasn't. We're the most interested party who cares more. That creates imbalance by giving him all the power in the relationship, which never feels OK.

7. We don't acknowledge relationship stagnation

We should see growth, or forward movement, in any healthy relationship. If you're not both enthusiastically headed toward real commitment, your best strategy is to cut your losses and get back into the dating pool.

8. We fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy

We often stay in bad relationships because we've already invested lots of time and effort to try to make the relationship work. But this is a poor strategy, because our prior investment is immaterial.

9. We figure that anything is better than being single

Personally, socially, economically and even professionally, people fare better with a mate. The mistake we make is that we exit the dating pool too early out of fear that nothing better will come along. We settle early for someone we're not head over heels for.

10. We don't trust our intuition

We usually know when something isn't right because our bodies tell us so. We have butterflies, or feel anxiety about whether our partner is as invested as we are. The right relationship should feel devoid of anxiety.

Most of us make these mistakes when we're immature, and we learn through experience. But sometimes we get trapped in a mindset that devalues our own worth. When that happens, we need to stop and recover our self-esteem.

When we choose the wrong relationships, we sabotage our own potential for contentment. I hope each one of us will find the strength to risk love but also to demand it.

Depending on which decade you grew up in, one or more of these vintage foods might taste like home. Now you have an excuse to time-warp your next dinner party — your favorite "outdated" classic food might just be cool again.

I picked the brains of some of the hottest chefs and culinary experts in the biz to find out which retro foods are back and better than ever:

1. Deviled eggs

I've always poked fun at my husband for his unrelenting addiction to deviled eggs, but now it looks like I'll have to eat my words (and his eggs). Chef Jean-Marie Lacroix calls this favorite 1950s appetizer the latest food trend comeback, currently gracing Brûlée Catering's menu. "Deviled eggs are making a big comeback for brunches, appetizers and passed hors d'oeuvres. Depending on who you ask, they never really were out of style," says Brûlée Catering marketing manager Nina Scimenes.

Donovan Green, health and wellness expert, adds his own healthy interpretation of this devilish dish, saying, "Deviled eggs are the finger food that has many possibilities regarding toppings. Swap out the yolks for shredded carrots, chunky salsa or hummus for a healthy snack."

2. Meatloaf

You knew this was coming. Meatloaf is no longer just an epic 1970s rocker or a popular cheap meal served during the Great Depression. Take a little trip to Atwood, an award-winning restaurant in downtown Chicago, and there you'll find Chef Brian Millman's reinvention of the old classic: hunter's meatloaf, made with all game meats in a mixture of elk and venison, rolled into 7-ounce portions and wrapped with bacon. Try our easy-to-make version at home.

3. Pot pie

America's penchant for pot pies can be traced back to Plymouth Rock. Sadly, today the pot pie has gone the way of the dinosaur, and our newly health conscious-culture may be to blame. As a health nut, I'm all about making nutrition and fitness more mainstream, but I also know that the key to long-term clean living is moderation. Bruce Rogers, executive chef of Hale and Hearty Soups in New York City, is a man who understands how the occasional comfort food can hit the spot.

Known for introducing his restaurant's popular turkey pot pie soup, Chef Rogers explains, "Retro foods have always been there for us, but there was a stigma for a while. Back when everyone was trying to eat skinny, you couldn't sit there with a big bowl of mac and cheese — you wouldn't fit in. People are remembering now that cheese tastes good, that cream and fat taste good, or they want a good old-fashioned burger. Retro food is just comfort food, and it makes people happy."

4. Quiche

Quiche, popularized in the U.S. after World War II, may scream ladies' brunch, but damn if it isn't delicious. National restaurant chain Houlihan's spurs on the "return of the quiche" with its Culinary Comebacks menu, featuring a made-from-scratch quiche Lorraine with bacon, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese and thyme. Since the first Houlihan's opened in 1972, this quiche comeback is only apropos — and irresistible.

5. Ramen

It's hard to call ramen retro since my love for the low-class noodle has never died. But retro it must be, since the U.S. began importing instant from Japan in 1971, just known as Cup O' Noodles way back when. Nowadays, ultra-hip restaurants are picking up on the fact that broke college students and adults with poor palates (like me) still have a not-so-secret crush on the packaged noodle.

New restaurant Amused on the Upper West Side in New York City serves its mouthwatering version of ramen noodles: ramen noodle carbonara, made with pork belly and ironically served in an instant ramen carton. But of course. Try these easy ramen hacks if you can't get to Amused.

6. Root beer floats

If root beer floats make you think 1950s Woolworth's soda fountain, drive-ins and oldies music, you're in luck. The National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association, an organization that works with a network of trending food bloggers and chefs, says that root beer floats are back in style. For further proof, check out Billy Parisi's root beer float recipe created on behalf of the NFRA.

Parisi shares, "I remember when I was a kid, I would always order a root beer float for dessert. Not ice cream or cake or pie — I wanted an ice cream float. Well, fast-forward 25 years, and I still want one, so I went ahead and hooked up this root beer float recipe, which literally consists of five ingredients, which you can make four if you want to just buy whipped cream out of a can."

7. Tuna noodle casserole

If it wasn't for the trusty tuna noodle casserole, I may not have made it past middle school. My mom called casseroles her "specialty," and we didn't eat much else. And just like that pair of flared jeans I wore in middle school, I've been hanging on to my love of the casserole since — just in case a big mashup of starchy foods in a baking pan ever came en vogue again. Lucky me, because tuna noodle casserole is back, and it's better than ever.

While the first recorded tuna noodle casserole recipe can be found in 1939's Streamlined Cooking, Hot Dinner Happy Home food blogger Erin Flugstad has a new spin on an old favorite. She calls her revived tuna noodle casserole recipe a "classic comfort food without the cream-of-anything soup." I'll take seconds, please.

However, today, I think we may have finally gone too far. 2015's ideal body type is almost a Frankenstein-like combination of all the ideal body types from the previous decades. With celebs like Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian at the forefront of beauty, today's "standards" have become almost mythic in their absurdity.

More: Fitness vlogger takes on the 'perfect' body myth in new video (VIDEO)

Yes, I know Beyoncé and Kim are real, flesh and blood women, but they're also insanely wealthy women who can afford to get countless expensive procedures to keep up their "ideal" bodies. Moreover, they spend a significant portion of their lives training and dieting — something which most normal women can't take the time to do. As a result, these large-breasted, tiny wasted, large butt-ed, thigh-gapped glamazons are making us feel as far from the "ideal" as the original Disney princesses.

One Cosmo writer notes that this path toward the unattainable started back in the '80s with Jane Fonda's workout tapes, which made women think if they did them, they'd look just as fit as her. While I agree the fitness craze definitely catapulted beauty standards into the stratosphere, the obsession started long before the turn of the 20th century.

After hoop skirts came the corset/bustle look, which is essentially what Kim Kardashian is doing today, only she's using her God-given glutes instead of a metal cage. While corsets may have been dangerous shapewear — breaking ribs and encouraging anorexia — I don't think it's any more dangerous than posting pictures of the #BellyButtonChallenge everywhere. Today, we simply have more ways of showing people what "standards" they're not meeting, and offering absurd diets and fitness regimes as remedies. At least back then you had legitimate tools to help you achieve them. Today, either your body has it or it doesn't.

As a result of this truly impossible body ideal, people are turning more and more to plastic surgery — or what I like to call the medical corset. Dr. Stephen J. Greenberg, a top plastic surgeon currently starring on Bravo's Secrets and Wives, told Cosmo, "Women are asking for larger, but more natural-looking breasts as well as enhanced buttocks, rounder hips, and slimmer thighs." Simply put, they want Kim Kardashian's body, but they want it to look like they achieved it without surgical help.

Dr. Greenberg says the requests for fat removal from one area only to add it back to another are higher than ever — if they were using fat from other women, it would literally be Frankenstein-esque. These types of surgeries could wreak havoc on your body. Plastic surgeon Dr. David Hidalgo told Cosmo, "There are potentially damaging physiologic consequences, including restricted breathing from interference with normal movement of the diaphragm, pooling of blood in the legs which could encourage clots to form, and interference with function of the gastrointestinal tract." Sounds a lot like the effects of the constricting methods from 100 years ago, doesn't it?

It's already been proven that cartoon characters like Ariel and Jessica Rabbit wouldn't be able to stand upright if they were real on account of their tiny waists and large breasts and hips. So why are we heading further and further down that road?

Pregnant women have traditionally been strongly advised to consume zero alcohol during pregnancy. This means no occasional glass of wine during dinner, no beer during the game and definitely no getting drunk. The effects of alcohol consumption on a fetus are well known, so that recommendation is unsurprising. Babies exposed to alcohol in utero can be born with a host of problems, from abnormal facial features to short stature to low birth weight to severe behavioral and developmental disorders. The problem is, experts don't know exactly how much alcohol consumption can lead to these permanent, lifelong issues, which makes it difficult to say whether any amount of drinking during pregnancy is without risk.

However, in recent years, some studies have shown that light drinking might be A-OK. These studies are never met without controversy, because American medical organizations such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Centers for Disease Control both say there is no guaranteed safe amount.

The advice for pregnant women hasn't been quite so clear in the U.K., where different government agencies give different recommendations. Many suggest no drinking during the first few months, but after that, they note a few a week shouldn't harm your baby. Experts there say that this advice can be confusing, especially since the Department of Health says one or two units a week should be OK, but the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence says that pregnant women can drink up to three units per week (after the first trimester) without harm coming to their unborn child.

This advice is no longer considered cool, and a group of British docs wants its government to come up with a streamlined recommendation across all agencies. "Since there is no known safe limit of prenatal alcohol exposure, the only safe drinking message is to entirely abstain from alcohol during pregnancy," say the experts, who will convene at the British Medical Association's annual conference this week.

Yes, being told you can't drink during pregnancy is a huge bummer for those who enjoy a glass of wine every now and then. But I cannot fault the U.K. or any other government agency, because there really isn't any way to know where the line is between "fine" and "very much not fine" when it comes to your baby's health.

So, the pendulum is again swinging away from the "light drinking may be OK" school of thought, but it's still up in the air if it will swing back or not.

Four brothers are being praised for their random act of kindness after watching a news report that inspired them to act. KWTC 10 News reveals Gerry Suttle, a 75-year-old woman, had an arrest warrant issued after failing to appear in court because of a lawn violation. City code for Riesel, Texas, mandates grass be no taller than 18 inches, a height the lot across from Suttle's home she owns surpassed. As a result of her infraction, a court summons was sent that Gerry claims she never received. Her failure to show up soon led to a warrant for her arrest.

Equipped with push lawn mowers and the help of two local Good Samaritans with riding mowers, the Reynolds brothers came to Suttle's aid. "We haven't met her yet, but she's 75 years old, and she needs some mowing," said Blaine Reynolds. "That's the least we could do." The group was able to cut down Gerry's lot in two hours. "I really wouldn't want her coming out here and doing it or paying someone else to when we could have just done it for free," notes Brandon Reynolds.

You would think this story had a happy ending, but as it turns out, Gerry is still facing legal action. "Just leave me alone," said Suttle. "I don't know how much longer I've got to live here."

With a freshly cut lawn, Gerry was told to go to court and sign documents indicating she never received a summons, and that would clear up this misunderstanding. Unfortunately it appears another was issued in her name — shortly after the boys spent all that time cutting her grass. "It is very heartbreaking to see that someone that I didn't even know came out and spent two hours in the sun doing what we thought the city wanted done and then them turn around and say 'no'," said Gerry.

"I'd do it for her a second time, or a third time," admits Blaine Reynolds. "Anything to keep that lady from having to go to court."

It's pretty hard for me to picture a 75-year-old woman mowing a lot of grass in the Texas heat. Given the series of storms passing through the Lone Star State, if your home wasn't severely damaged — or washed away — you can expect grass to grow pretty quickly. This can make general maintenance a pain in your side. Given Gerry has lived in her home for close to 60 years, I'm not sure if she knows all the specifics regarding city codes and regulations. Perhaps she could've avoided this whole debacle if she had hired someone to cut her grass, or maybe she intended to do so. At least she has a chance to clear things up in court.

Just make sure you pay those boys next time if they come to help.

Let me give you little background: I worked for five years as an aesthetician and then as a laser hair removal technician. I have seen the business end of more women than I care to count, and though my career choice was vastly different than that of a doctor or a midwife, I'd like to think we have at least one thing in common: We appreciate a well-groomed vagina.

I know most doctors will insist that the state of your pubic hair doesn't matter during labor. After all, there are many more important things going on that are going to distract from your pre-birth attempt at shaving your baby's name into your pubes (I kid, I kid). But seriously. There are plenty of labor room checks before that baby starts crowning. There are dozens of times when a doctor or nurse is going to lift up your hospital gown, and people in the nearby vicinity may be frightened by what they see.

One of my funniest memories after giving birth was when the hoopla was over. My midwife was again elbow-deep in my vag, stitching up minor tears in my labia. At that point, with a beautiful baby in my arms, I didn't really care who saw what was going on between my legs. The deed was done. My husband had already seen my vagina contort in a way that would be burned into his brain forever, so I was fine lying there holding my baby and chatting with my legs wide open.

It was at that point that my midwife said something like, "Don't take this the wrong way, but how did you get waxed so close? Your skin down there is so smooth. I always get razor burn or wax bumps, but you look great."

So please, try to tell me that your doctor is not thinking about your lady parts during birth. They are, they just are. They are only human.

Besides the aesthetic appeal of trimmed hedges, there are a few legitimate benefits to waxing before birth. Talia Botone of Spa Jones says, "If you need an episiotomy or end up [with a] Caesarean section (which are done much lower now to be hidden by a bikini), the medical staff will shave you. Shaving will be itchy when it grows back in, causing extra discomfort to an already tender area. Waxing will last longer, hairs will grow in softer and fewer hairs per square inch, so there will be less activity in the re-growth of the hairs, allowing the area to heal more peacefully."

Dr. Jason James, medical director at FemCare OB-GYN and Chairman of the Department of OB-GYN at Baptist Hospital of Miami, adds his expert opinion: "As an OB-GYN, it really is a convenience to have a patient waxed or even closely trimmed at the time of delivery. Invariably, many patients require a repair to a small tear or (rarely) an episiotomy and absence of hair makes the repair much easier. Excess hair growth can interfere with closure of the tear and can also contribute to discomfort in the healing phase."

As with any cosmetic treatment and parenting decision, the choice is ultimately yours. All that really matters is that you feel empowered and comfortable in the delivery room, which is exactly what a pre-labor wax did for me.

No, your doctor is not judging you based on your pubic hair. No, your husband is not going to stop loving you if your beautiful baby emerges from an overgrown bush. But for me, and for many other women, getting a professional wax before going into labor was one less thing to worry about. Waxing made me feel smooth, clean and just a little more prepared for the main event. Waxing made me feel awesome before having a baby, and as the old saying goes, an awesome mom makes for an awesome baby.

Jesus is coming home, but he is going to look a lot less like Jake T. Austin and a lot more like Noah Centineo. TV Guide reports the star of Disney's How to Build a Better Boy will be stepping into the role of The Fosters' middle son that was vacated by Austin earlier this year. While it was teased that the show was going to kill Jesus off, the Season 3 premiere revealed he was alive and well at boarding school on a wrestling scholarship.

More: Fans were not pleased by the Jesus reveal

Centineo has acted in a number of comedic films and TV series aimed at the tween set, so he should have no trouble capturing Jesus' goofy sense of humor. The young actor has not taken on anything quite as mature as The Fosters before, but since he has been acting since 2009 (and he's only 19), he will surely be up to the task of bringing nuisance to Jesus.

Fans will have to wait a little while longer before Centineo makes his debut. The Fosters Season 3 is currently in the midst of its summer run and Centineo was not cast in time to take part. He will be on board for the back half of the season though, set to begin airing in early 2016.

More: The Season 2 finale was a lot less deadly than anticipated

Now that the show has a new Jesus it is time to start asking questions like what will bring him back home? Hopefully, the show won't have the midseason finale end on another potentially tragic cliffhanger. The most natural reason for Jesus to return would be trouble at boarding school. That would also be a strong story for Centineo to play as he settles into the cast.

However the show chooses to bring Jesus back, let's hope Centineo gels better with the cast than his predecessor did. During Austin's time as Jesus, the character was often isolated in romantic plotlines completely isolated from the more serious storylines going on around him. Austin made Jesus his own, but a new Jesus could lead to a more cohesive Fosters, and that is excellent news.
