Chatting With Chinadoll

Internet challenges can be fascinating to teens, who can be both impulsive and drawn to behavior that gets attention – especially in social media.

Some  social media challenges, like the ALS ice bucket challenge or the  mannequin challenge, can be fun and positive activities. But other  challenges that pop up on the internet are dangerous and can lead to  permanent harm.

You may have heard of social media trends like the Tide pod c...

On the day of my mother’s funeral, I remember sitting in the back  seat of our car, pulling into the parking lot where the service was  going to be held, and seeing two old friends of mine from elementary  school walking inside. I was 15 at the time. It had never occurred to me  that they would miss school to be there for me. This simple act of  support meant more to me than they will ever know.

Fast-forward about 20 or so years to...

If you search Google on selfishness, the majority of entries will  tell you that you have to be selfish to look after yourself and to  succeed in life. You are ensuring that you are contributing to society  and not a burden. It is a sort of natural selfishness and is closely  related to our survival. It must take priority over helping others.  Pretty harmless, you might think…

Then you will find entries on what is termed ‘bad selfi...

Being in the wellness industry, it's important for our brand to  support overall wellness, and that includes lots of self love. It's so  easy to compare your life to our friends, or even strangers on the  internet. We're a brand that encourages you to take care of yourself,  starting with a safe option for deodorant. Here are ways our author, Trevor McDonald, encourages more self love:

When we think of wellness, most of...

Another year; another Christmas around the corner.

The conversation around the watercooler these days has evolved into  the annual “where has the time gone?” discussion–how quickly the  neighborhood kids have become high school graduates; how our hot July  beach vacations seem like they were just yesterday; and how we haven’t  baked cookies or sent cards or bought gifts yet because time has just been flying by.

It’s become a common...

If one day in the future you are visited by a powerful being and are  offered a single wish, what would it be? Mind you, it can be whatever  you want. This includes power, money, a special title, or anything else  you wish. And maybe ask yourself a question before making that wish:

“When I’m taking my last breath, can I look back and say that my life was good?”

Here’s a suggestion: Wish for the ability to adapt to change. That is a...

You need to realize that men are kind of like cats. Just hear me out.

Ever  see the variety of cat toys out there? They're shiny, sparkly,  colorful, some of them make noise (and all kinds of noises), shaped in  all kinds of ways, with various textures, sizes, and some are even meant  to stimulate different parts of a cat's brai...

I once read a quote that said, “Do not judge by appearances; a rich heart may be under a poor coat.” And I can’t emphasize it enough.

We are a society quick to judge the success of others based on  external appearances. But I can’t think of a more foolish metric to  utilize.

Some psychologists argue this is natural for humans. “Our unconscious mind starts from  whatever objective data is available to us—usually spotty—and helps to ...

Every moment of our lives, we have the option to either tell the  complete truth or make up a bold-faced lie. Lies can cover true  feelings, make it easier to get out of things we don’t want to do and  make us look better. They can also hurt not just the person that we tell  the lie to, but ourselves as well.  A big reason to not lie is to avoid  the downfall of getting caught. However, many will still wonder what  the most importa...

Who am I? Who am I really?

It’s the question we often ask ourselves and usually find difficult  to answer with full and authentic honesty. Instead, we may opt to conform:  to do what we think is right and be the kind of person we believe will  be most accepted by our peers. Such behavior is deeply rooted in us,  reflecting the biology of our primal ancestors. As a result, when  someone tells you to disregard what others think and “...

More than ever before, we now hear the buzz words “self-love” and “self-care.” For some, the concepts may be clear, but many are still seeking clarity on exactly what self-love and self-care mean and look like.

I identify myself as a “Vocabulary Nerd” who loves to look up word definitions to deepen my understanding of a concept. So we will begin with my definition of self-love and -care:

Self-love and -care go well beyond bubble ba...

'Dirt is my makeup. Race fuel is my perfume.'

Why do women ride motorbikes? For transportation, yes, but also  because we look good on one, and want all the benefits that bike riding  brings. From a sense of freedom to weight loss, bike riding is an  activity we should all consider.

A woman on a bike is not alone anymore. A recent Motorcycle Industry Council survey  revealed that one in every five motorcycle riders is femal...

Most of us want to be a better person—whether at home, in the office,  or just when we’re out running errands. The problem is where exactly do  you start?

I realized a couple years ago that I was a jerk at  times to people I worked with and to people I feel I couldn’t get any  value out of. Over the past couple years I’ve become a much better  person by working on myself.

Here are some of the things I’ve been implementing into my d...

While the history books are filled with many a first (the first  airplane to circumnavigate the globe, the first radio transmission, and  the first president), there is one very notable first that is sadly  omitted: the BJ.

Who honestly was it who took a look at the D and said, OK, put that in my mouth now?

After doing some research on the subject it appears there are some who trace fellatio back to prehistoric times. In fact, Fren...

Before we see the difference between the hair in the genital  areas to that of the hair in other visible areas of the body, one should  know that three main types of hair grow on all human beings.

First is the Lanugo hair, the hair grown on fetus, which are lost once the baby is born.

Second  is the Vellus hair, the thin, short, and light hair, which covers  almost the complete human body except for some areas like the back of  the...

It’s very common amongst women to shave their private parts but for  men, it is still considered a bit of a taboo to shave or trim the pubic  area. Most men think that shaving the pubic area will make them look  like a kid which is why they just skip the idea of shaving their armpits  or pubic hair.

However, the reality is quite different, manscaping is the most  hygienic way to keep your genitals and private parts safe from germs ...

If I ever write a highly erotic version of the Bible, and I might, the  scene where Moses goes up Mount Sinai to retrieve the word of God will  have a slightly different spin. In my version, what the prophet will  bring back to us will still be 10 Commandments, but they will be the 10  Blow Job Commandments, and they will go something like this:

1. Thou Shalt Not Use Teeth

"I gave my first blow jobs when I was a counselor at ca...

Men are just so unnecessarily complex a lot of the time. A lot of  women make the mistake of thinking that men are simple creatures; that  it’s going to be easy to decipher their feelings and their needs.

There are so many things going on underneath that rough and rugged  exterior – and you can’t be underestimated just what kind of depth a man  is capable if you really want to fall in love with one.

It pays to know just what makes ...
