Sweet gig, right?

  • 10 people share the 'perfect' thing to say when you see your spouse naked and it's adorable
    8 Jan—Upworthy
    "Hey you’re wearing my favorite outfit again.” 01.08.25 I think most people in longterm relationships eventually reach a point where seeing your partner step out of the shower doesn't really register for you. There becomes a "normal every day" nudity — changing clothes, bathing, etc. — that is not inherently sexual and therefore no longer warrants celebration. Unfortunately, that sucks! No one wants to be ogled 24/7 when they're just trying to exist, but at the same time, no one wants to feel...
  • Waxers, nurses and doctors share what they're really thinking about your 'privates.'

    You're probably not as special or weird as you think. 11.28.24 Unsplash Body dysmorphia really knows no bounds. We tend to think of insecurities as focusing on things like the flatness of our stomachs or the size of our noses. But perhaps the thing that people are most self-conscious about is the thing we actually talk about the least.

The multi-time Super Bowl winner, NFL MVP, and pretty much the most decorated NFL athlete of all time retired from on-field play before last season. But he's been keeping himself pretty dang busy in retirement with a broadcasting gig, becoming part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, and of course, being a dad to his three kids. Tom Brady recently spoke at a Fortune Global Forum event...
  • A new dad described his first time meeting his baby in the most beautiful way.
    8 Nov 2024—Upworthy
    It feels different for everyone, but this is one perspective we can all appreciate. 11.08.24 I'm a proud dad of two girls, so I've experienced it twice. There's something incredible about the very first moment you lay eyes on your baby or hold them in your arms. A brand new person in the world. Both times it filled me with overwhelming emotion – even if only for a few seconds. Just a rush of love and wonder that is really hard to describe. Luckily, one new dad was able to capture it quite...
