'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret' Is Finally Getting A Judy Blume-Approved Movie
Judy Blume is one of those classic authors that creates stories that transcend time. One of her most famous books called Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret was published all the way back in 1970, but it still resonates today. The story follows young Margaret Simon as she makes her way through one of the most difficult time in her life: puberty.

We loved all the bears, unicorns, penguins, and puppies that made our school days a little bit more exciting. But where did they come from? Where did Lisa Frank
Heinous Haircuts: Atrocities Through the Ages
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. Dickens wasn't referring to hairstyles in the '90s and 2000s, but there was grave foolishness being mistaken as chic coming out of salons. It was during that stage in our socio-cultural adolescence that such heinous hairstyles have permanently scarred the era.The average woman changes her hairstyle about 150 times in her life and that span of years showed us some cringeworthy hairstyles that have us retrospectively shivering to look at. Let's revisit some of the
