Kourtney Kardashian: the last Dash To Break the Internet

Posted on November 27, 2018

This latest season of Keeping Up with The Kardashians started with the eldest of the sisters Kourtney Kardashian in tears over being told by sister Kim that she (Kourt)is the least interesting to look at.

That was over 6 months ago when the show taped and since then, Kourtney has ”cougared” her way through at least two different romantic partners who were years her junior and had made up for being told she isn’t interesting by posting a series of super sexy photos in social media.

Before, I think I can fairly say she was the last Kardashian that a lot of regulars folksy moms could relate to. She kept it rated PG and mom-focused. 

The reality Tv star’s image rebrand worked to catch the eye of GQ Mexico editors, at least, who feature her in its double winter issue.

A post shared by Kourtney Kardashian (@kourtneykardash) on

And one particular photo shot by Michael Schwartz features the “assets” of the mom of three prominently!

In the photo, the 39-year old wears a long sleeve black turtleneck and no bottoms it appears. 

To say  the image, posted in IG,  took many of her 70 million fans and followers by surprise is an understatement!

While she got a lot of love in the comment section, I can say a  significant amount were body shaming ones and women expressing disappointment and stating the image will bring shame to her kids.

I don’t want to contribute too much to them by amplifying them so you can go to her post and read them for yourself. 

ETA: This is not the first time, Kourt has posted a nude photo of herself from a fashion spread. She did so in 2017, and  while preggers in 2014 in Vanity Fair!

Still, this close up one is quite different.

What do you think!? Let’s talk about it in social! Find me @bellyitch on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram!

Cyber Monday Challenge: Buy 16 Award-Winning Books for Kids Online

Posted on November 26, 2018

Today is Cyber Monday! It’s a day when online retailers offer deep discounted prices to internet shoppers, and traditionally occurs the first Monday after Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year and named so because it’s what causes a lot of shops to go into the black, from an accounting perspective.

While I am usually not a big proponent of guilt -tripping or “shaming” parents, I make an exception when it comes to books.

Reading is very crucial to a child’s success in school and life. From knowing vocabulary words in context when taking a test to simply appreciating the value of words and prose, giving a child the gift of books and instills in them a love and appreciation for reading. This is paramount!

You do not have to be wealthy to expose a child to books as in many communities, cities and towns, library books are free! Online, there are depositories of free classics as well.

For $7.95 a month, there is always the option of signing up for a subscription to Epic! and getting access to thousands of titles that a kid can read online, at the library’s computer, or any digital device like a smart phone, tablet or other screen like a Kindle or Wii –good thing those things are good for more than video game playing!

Here is a curated list of 16 award-winning books that would be great to add to your child’s library if they don’t already have one. These would make great gift books for Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, a birthday, Quinceneara, Bar or Bat Mitzvah and more!

    1. Frog & Toad are Friends by Arnold Lobel ($13.99)
    2. Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary ($11.87)
    3. Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson ($11.98)
    4. The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate ($9.98)
    5. Trombone Shorty by Troy Andrews ($17.05)
    6. The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread by Kate DiCamillo  $12.26)
    7. One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia ($11.89)
    8. Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary ($11.25)
    9. The Girl Who Drank The Moon ($12.71)
    10. The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus by Jen Bryant ($16.58)
    11. Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate diCamillo ($13.38)
    12. Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai ($11.98)
    13. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine ($11.27)
    14. A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L’Engel ($12.59)
    15. Sounder by William H. Armstrong ($13.57)
    16. El Deafo by Cici Bell ($13.82)

Honorable Mention

  1. Jumanji by Chris Van Allsburg ($12.79)
  2. Maria had a Little Llama by Angela Dominquez ($17.09)
