Check out These 10 Disney Princesses, Outfitted for Jobs in 2018

I love the recent trend of digital artists reimagining Disney princesses in all kinds of ways, and these images that show what the gals might be up to if they lived in the here and now are no different.

Which is to say, they’re totally awesome.

And thanks to the mind and talent of North Carolina-based graphic designer Matt Burt, I can share them with you!

#10. Tiana, Award-Winning Chef and Restauranteur

“Growing up and being inspired by her father’s love of cooking, Tiana has always known what she has wanted to do. She now stands at the top of the culinary world, winning the James Beard Award and owning one of the most popular restaurants in the country. Every day she digs a little deeper, trying out new dishes and experimenting with new recipes and flavors.”

#9. Anna and Elsa, Climate Change Scientists

“Elsa, Anna, and the citizens of Arendelle know a few things about the effects of climate change. While their companion Olaf may love Summer, the sun, and all things hot, Anna and Elsa recognize what a rising global temperature might mean. They have dedicated their careers to studying climate change and presenting accurate, well-sourced information.”

#8. Cinderella, Animal Rights Activist

“While she has her Fairy Godmother to thank, Cinderella would not be where she is without the help of her animal companions. She believes where there is kindness, there is goodness, and it’s her heart’s wish to see animals treated with respect. She used her position of influence to found a nonprofit organization committed to promoting animal rights.”

#7. Mulan, Title IX Lawyer

“After experiencing discrimination both personally and in the military, Mulan turned her sights on a law degree, graduating with the highest honors. She now fights for equality on university campuses, ensuring that men and women are given the same treatment and opportunities. With all the strength of a raging fire, she advocates for those who have faced adversity due to their gender.”

#6. Ariel, Pop Star and Record Producer

“Ariel has always excelled in music, having natural talent and a passion for singing. Considered the best of her talented sisters, Ariel took her skills and made it her career. She went multiplatinum with her single, ‘Part of Your World,’ and now both writes her own music and is a producer at her own label, Seven Seas Records.”

#5. Jasmine, U.N. Ambassador

“Jasmine has always fought for what’s right and for change where it is needed – she’s not a prize to be won. A natural politician, she now advocates for her country of Agrabah at the United Nations. One of her primary initiatives is protecting women’s rights by ensuring that women are treated fairly across the globe.”

#4. Moana, Naval Officer

“The sea has always called to Moana. What it taught her is that she is a natural leader, guiding her people and returning them to their ancient voyaging traditions. Using these strengths, Moana has excelled in the Navy, rising to the rank of lieutenant commander. She has been awarded multiple honors during her service, such as two Navy Achievement Medals and a National Defense Service Medal. With such a successful start, there’s no telling how far she’ll go in her career.”

#3. Belle, University Chancellor

“There was always much more in store for Belle than a provincial life. Inspired by her love of books and knowledge, Belle went into academia. After receiving her doctorate in education, Belle has risen to the level of chancellor at a major university. She is committed to affordable and equal education for all.”

#2. Rapunzel, Neurologist

“Since her birth, Rapunzel has always had the power to heal. After saving her future husband, Eugene Fitzherbert, and reuniting with her royal family, Rapunzel went to medical school and earned her doctorate. She specialized in neurology and has become a leading expert in the country. It’s now her dream to help as many patients as she can and provide exceptional medical care.”

#1. Aurora, Coffee Company CEO

“Aurora knows how hard it is to wake up. After being awoken from her enchanted sleep, Aurora made it her career to help others stay awake – and what better way to do that than coffee?! Aurora is the founder and CEO of Spinning Wheel Coffee, one of the leading coffee chains in the nation.”

This Artist Removed the Makeup from Dolls Faces and the Results Are Crazy

There has been a recent movement among some celebrities to take selfies without makeup, and among some models and actresses to refuse Photoshop. In the same vein, people have been railing for awhile against dolls like Barbies giving young girls unrealistic expectations, but what about the fact that all dolls – even the ones designed for young children – have crazy, made-up faces?

I honestly never really thought about what a doll would look like without it’s overly big eyes and bright red mouth, but let me tell you – after seeing these images, I won’t ever look at them the same again.

Ukrainian artist Olga Kamenetskaya not only strips dolls of their old faces, she gives them new ones in return. Each doll is unique and flawed in her own way, making her as “real” as humanly possible.

She told Vogue that she doesn’t like “when the new face of the doll is ideal and perfectly symmetrical, it makes it lifeless. I always deliberately leave some flaw that may not be noticeable to everyone, but gives the doll invisible charisma.”

“Perhaps this flawed beauty is the message that my dolls carry.”

Whatever the message, it’s hard to argue with her end result – her dolls are far more beautiful for their flaws.

At least, in my opinion.

7 Things That Living Abroad Can Teach You

Okay, here are 7 things living abroad for a few years taught this person, who left St. Petersburg, Russia and spent some time living in the United States. It may encourage you to step on out of your own comfort zone and embrace new experiences!

#7. Being “on the other side” can be a shock

For this girl, the planes were smaller, the airport was crazy busy, and language barriers grew taller. Remind yourself to take a few deep breaths as you walk from one world into another.

#6. It can be lonely

Photo Credit: Pixabay

Especially if you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language well and not many other people can translate, but really, anytime you’re somewhere new and alone, be prepared to battle the feeling of being all alone.

#5. You might not realize how much you love your home until you leave

Photo Credit: Pixabay

Sure, you can find your native food anywhere, but it’s just not the same.

#4. Let go of your expectations

Photo Credit: Pixabay

For the country, for the people, and for everything in between. Take your experience as it comes, day by day.

#3. You might feel adrift

Photo Credit: Pixabay

You don’t feel at home yet in your new culture, but going to your “real” home for short trips can serve as a reminder that you no longer belong there, either.

#2. You realize being alone has its advantages

Photo Credit: Pixabay

You get to know yourself. You realize how strong you are, and how independent you can be, and maybe this is who you were meant to be all along.

#1. Pack light

Nothing is as annoying as a too-heavy suitcase. It’s real advice but it’s also a metaphor.

A Survey Claims Half of American Women Are More Stressed by Their Husbands Than Their Children

I can hear most of my married friends out there responding to this headline with some version of “duh,” but look – now there’s proof that we’re not just impatient aholes!

The survey, done by Today, surveyed 7,000 American women and found that the majority of us are stressed due to not feeling as if there are enough hours in the day to complete all expected tasks, and that 75% of us feel as if we’re shouldering the majority of both parenting and household duties.

1 in 5 mothers said that one of their major stresses was a lack of help from their significant other.

Also interestingly, the stress levels play a role later in life, too. When a wife passes first, the husband’s health tends to deteriorate, but when the husband passes first, the wife tends to become healthier and deals better with stress and depression.

It shouldn’t be a surprise, but this is likely because the husband leans more on the wife than vice versa.

If you identify a trend like this in your relationship, you can try writing down all of the daily/weekly duties and splitting them evenly.

Might as well give it a shot!

This Woman’s Savvy Husband Saved Them Both from Moving into a Haunted House

You know the scene, and it’s straight out of a horror movie – a clueless white woman is wandering around a house exclaiming over cute built-ins and clawfoot tubs while ignoring the obvious signs of a demon infestation that will later ruin her life (and possibly steal her soul).

Well, it turns out in can happen in real life, too. At least, that’s the experience Louisville, KY author Olivia A. Cole had when she and her husband went to check out a house to rent.

While she was enamored with the “cute little bungalow,” her husband was properly suspicious and asking all the right questions…and getting none of the right answers.

Please, enjoy the entire thread below, and arm yourself with the truth.

And in case you’re wondering…so was someone else.

This Twitter Thread About Gender Reveal Parties Is Funny No Matter Who You Are

Even if you’re someone who has participated in, organized, or asked for a gender reveal party, you have to admit that the whole idea can get a bit out of hand – not to mention that it doesn’t really matter all that much which sex your baby is going to be, not in the long run. I mean…we’re going to keep them either way, right?

One woman on Twitter got to the heart of the matter with a single tweet, and the ensuing thread is downright hilarious (as long as you have a sense of humor).

In addition, it provides a little food for thought for those of us who are concerned about eschewing gender stereotypes for this generation (and ones to come).

Here’s the tweet that started it all….

The first Soviet probe sent…

The first Soviet probe sent to Mars’ moon Phobos failed due to user error. While the probe was still on its way to Mars, an impatient technician who didn’t want to wait for his code to be proofread unintentionally sent a command to the probe to shut down and there was no way to turn […]
