Losing the “spark” in a long-term relationship is inevitable, just like realizing you have a crush on JJ from Outer Banks (forget John B, am I right ladies? #teamJJ). We’re conditioned to desire the act of falling in love, not the act of keeping love. How many rom-coms do you know start after the wedding and go […] More
We get a lot of our knowledge about love and relationships from pop culture, right? But no rom-com takes place in a global pandemic with stay-at-home orders in place (that I know of. If there is, HMU because I need some inspo). Noah and Allie had years of distance to keep the romance alive, and […] More
You know the importance of regular date nights to keep the spark alive, right? After about a month of staying at home, “date night” probably feels like just a distant memory; one of those pre-staying-at-home memories you remember fondly, like going to the gym or grocery shopping without severe anxiety. However, date nights should still […] More
“Dirty talk” can get a bad rap sometimes. In movies and TV shows, it seems weird AF that people would talk to each other like that in bed. But just like most sexual things, it always sounds weird until you try it. Then, it’s freaking awesome. Everyone thinks they sound weird or awkward; they worry […] More

I’ll devour reality shows where couples find love against carefully-scripted odds. I adore hearing about celebrity matches, and […] More
If you use dating apps or have ever been on a date in the 21st century, you’re probably exhausted from swiping left, and dodging “u up?” from fuckboys or “hey” from boring matches. You don’t feel like you’re too picky (it’s called having standards!!) and when the average dating pool looks like overgrown frat boys […] More
When you say “I love you,” what do you mean? Perhaps you’re a hopeless romantic and think that love “awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds” (anyone else reach for Ben & Jerry’s just reading this quote from The Notebook? Just […] More
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t really like reality TV. It took me until Jojo’s season of The Bachelorette to get into that franchise, and I still only like it because it gives me something to talk to my coworkers about. I’ve never been able to get into Real Housewives, Survivor, Love […] More
