-McKayla Maroney- Twitter: @McKaylaMaroney Instagram: mckaylamaroney Known for: Starring for the USA Women’s Gymnastics Team, notably winning one gold and one silver medal at the 2012 Summer Games.   -In the Summer Olympics of 2012, McKayla Maroney captured America’s hearts by winning one gold medal, and perhaps just as memorably, providing a facial expression that generated a thousand memes when she showed her displeasure at finishing second in a different event. But since the 2012 games, the then-16 year-old has grown up a bit, and turned from a precocious young gymnastRead More

Rant: I am so tired of seeing “# Signs You Don’t Have a Grip on Being a Lady” and other shitty titles with 5 million likes and tweets accompanied by messages of understanding. Just because you can’t make a pie, you like to wear pants, and you are comfortable going several days without shaving or plucking a single hair does not mean you’ve lost your grip on femininity; perhaps it means you define it differently. Or maybe you just don’t care about societal expectations and gender roles. You do you.Read More

  -Skylar Diggins- Twitter: @SkyDigg4 Instagram: skydigg4 Known for: Ballin’ out for the WNBA’s Tulsa Shock, and previously for the Notre Dame ladies’ team.   -When I think of WNBA players, the word “sexy” isn’t one that usually comes to mind. Most WNBA players aren’t exactly the type of women that get heterosexual males like myself excited. Skylar Diggins is the exception – a gorgeous guard for the Tulsa Shock, Diggins is a hell of an athlete, and a pretty beautiful lady. Follow her on Instagram and Twitter for sure, butRead More

This video should be considered and educational piece for guys to decide whether or not a girl will be “dateable.” Also, he clearly lays out how girls judge guys (money and hotness duh). The WASP of a man totally nailed it…I mean, every “Tiffany” I have met, was effing crazy. Please watch and take notes. (*note just jump to :53 when he starts doing the graph). Where my unicorns at?!  Read More

Is it just me? Or has New York City turned into a breeding ground for fad dieters and soul-searching cyclists? Whether they’re a lifestyle, or just fads to blast all over social media, these trends have spread like wild fire in the metropolitan area. Must be something in their coconut waters.   Gluten-Free and Other Fad Diets  And I don’t mean the people who have been gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian for most of their life. I’m referring to those who hear of a new diet and throw it into a rotation ofRead More

First dates are like interviews. At least in my experience. Every halfway decent one I’ve ever been on is a volley of questions, as if both parties are reporters and the person across the table is his or her subject. Except instead of writing about them, both people are tasked with trying to decide whether this person has enough potential to be included in future plans – whether that is a second date, a night of wild sex, and/or everlasting love. But in my experience, these questions have been mostlyRead More

When you grow up with a father who is an alcoholic, either recovering, recovered, or who currently has a problem, you learn a lot of things. In my case, my parents divorced when I was very young, and so many of these things I did not learn until later. I have always struggled because of this. When your father is an alcoholic, you learn that it’s weird that you come from a broken home. There is a special bond between a father and his daughter, and you learn quickly thatRead More

In my high school, band kids were nerdy. We were great at what we did, winning marching and concert contests every year, but we were nerdy. We stuck in our own little cliques, formed in 5th and 6th grade when we chose our instruments and started out, and still today I feel like I am connected to the people I met through band, at least in some way. I still follow them on facebook, and several of them, my closest friends, I still see and talk to on a regularRead More

I’ve decided to do a social experiment to see how much I have changed in the past decade. I’m 26, so I selected some things that were part of my life at 16 and still are now. Then I analyzed how I view or react to doing them.   Getting a paycheck. 16: This is fucking awesome! $84 for stocking shelves and running a cash register! I knew this job would make me rich! I’m going to treat myself to some books, and then I’m going to give the restRead More

When I was in my early college years, I tried to convince myself that I had ADD so I could get myself on Adderall.  I had an eating disorder and thought that this trendy drug would speed up my “lose every pound of fat or kill yourself” diet.  The truth is, I just get distracted like everyone else.  In fact, I came to It’s A Grind today to read and write, but have spent the last 1.5 hours narcissistically browsing photo albums on Facebook while simultaneously posting recipes on PinterestRead More

The only evolution Girls’ Night has undergone since middle school slumber parties is the introduction of alcoholic beverages (pink wine, Mike’s Hard, smoothies that will get you drunk). I still love my friends most when we’re in our sleep clothes, snuggled up, eating unhealthy snacks, and quoting or singing along to our favorite movies. Most chick flicks aren’t really my jam, but I have a soft spot for “girly movies” that focus in on a quality best friend team be it two, four, or a whole freaking team. Watching these moviesRead More

  -Alex Morgan- Twitter: @alexmorgan13 Instagram: alexmorgan13 Known for: Starring for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team.   -So now that the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team has sadly bowed out of the 2014 World Cup, it’s time we turn our patriotic eyes toward the Women’s World Cup in Canada next summer. And as a heterosexual male who isn’t passionate about soccer, the Women’s World Cup offers something which the men’s does not – beautiful women. And the hottest lady in the 2015 Women’s World Cup plays for the goodRead More

Finding a significant other can feel like hitting the jackpot. It’s awesome to have that person to share your life with, to text when something funny happens, to cuddle with at night.  Entering into a relationship brings a lot of changes. One of those changes is that people will perceive you differently if you’re taken. There are many misconceptions and assumptions that come with being in a relationship, especially when you’re a woman. There are some things that ladies in relationships just don’t want to hear.   You’re going toRead More
