The last thing you wanna do when you're out with your girls is to record-screech the conversation. You know, a bitchy comment that throws the chatter off-kilter -- whether it's a dig at a friend's dates, decisions, or lifestyle.

Here are a few phrases to steer clear of when you're sipping Skinnygirls with your inner circle.

No-no #1: "You're complaining about not having any money? Maybe you'd have more if you didn't spend it all on restaurants/electronics/shoes. "
Whoa there, judgy! Her life, her choices. If your buddy is complaining about being broke, let her. If you're gonna pipe up, offer a helpful solution, like sharing a tip on how you do small auto-deductions from every paycheck to go into a high-interest savings account, or forwarding her the recipe for a budget-friendly pasta dish to make at home that lasts for several meals. A cash-strapped friend doesn't want to hear a litany of her money sins.

No-no #2: "We have such different lives."
Dismissive, dismissive,

The photography of Sarah and Thad Lawrence is nothing short of incredible. Inside of most superbly written sentences, painted detail, or pieces of true art, we are often swept away by the fact that someone captured something so familiar to us so perfectly. Sarah and Thad are pros at that. The amazingly talented couple decided to take part in a photography project that required them to take a picture together every day for a year. The results are pure art. From touchingly unpretentious photos depicting their love for each other to satirical images showcasing the frustrations experienced as part of a couple, it's pretty tough to tear your eyes away from their Photoshop magic. Thad and Sarah say that the project taught them more about each other than they ever could have expected. Click through for 7 freakishly amazing photo portraits of married life! -By Serge Bielanko

Dear Hopeful Single,

I'm not writing because I'm interested in you. I'm writing because I feel sorry for you. Your online dating profile makes me cringe; it floods me with embarrassment for you. Your emails help me to understand why you're single. Now, in real life, I don't go around judging a person based solely (oh, and speaking of sole, it's soulmate, not solemate and honestly, you really shouldn't even be using the word at all) on their ability to write and take a decent photograph, but on an online dating site, that's all I have to go by. When I receive a couple dozen emails, winks, and likes a day, I have to weed through them and yes, unfair as it may be, I skip over those of you who start emails with "Hey Hotstuff", have pictures of your dog sitting on your Harley, and have phrases such as "herpes-free" in your profiles.

Although I don't know you personally, I want to help you. I want to give you some advice so you don't end up a lonely old, (hmmm, what's the male

The Queen of Swords card reversed suggests that putting up a wall may have served its purpose, but it might be time to let go of the false security that could be interfering in your love life. What was once a defense could now be reinforcing feelings of abandonment, irrational thinking or self-deception. It may take more will and courage to try again than to remain the long-suffering martyr. When you find you are tired of being right but alone, you can change your mind and find resolution or healing beginning with an honest acknowledgement of the situation, along with responsible and direct communication. Grieve for your losses and accept that love isn't perfect. An underlying belief that perfection can exist is what creates such disappointed expectations in the first place.

So maybe there's no Santa Claus, and perhaps the tooth fairy turned out to be pretty useless once you'd got all your grown-up teeth. But yes, Virginia, there is a Cupid, and this week, he's in your corner. So make like Rocky and own the ring; with any luck, by sundown Friday you'll be yelling "Adrian! Adrian!" in the throes of passion. Actually, come to think of it, best not to say "Adrian" unless you're actually sleeping with one. Using your luvver's own name adds a nice personal touch.

You know that old trope that you don't have to end up alone if you don't choose to? We'd like to state for the record: That's kakapootie. Sure, you can always be with someone, as long as standards aren't an issue for you. ("No personality, no manners, no oral skills? No problem!") What you can control is how often you get out and about and meet people - and the more people you meet, the less likely you are to have to lower your standards. Hey, it's

Sin City may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think "romantic getaway," but it's a perennial favorite for - likely spur-of-the-moment - weddings and honeymoons. Vegas lovebirds eager to escape the casino and club scene should try the Neon Museum, located about 10 minutes off the Strip. With an eye-popping collection of historic neon signs dating as far back as the 1930s, it makes for a one-of-a-kind photo op.

A wedding without Bridesmaids. Would you do it?When I pictured my wedding as a young girl (okay, okay in college), I always imagined standing at the altar flanked by my and my unknown husband's closest friends, all of whom dressed in color-coordinated attire.

By Natasha Burton

But now that I am planning my wedding for reals now, I feel like a total asshole asking people to be in my wedding. First of all, it's time-consuming: Your friends feel forced to commit to things like invitation stuffing and ceremony rehearsing. Plus it's just not necessary-does it really matter if your pals stand next to you or sit two feet away? So, I'm pretty sure that my fiancé and I are simply not going to do it.
