I couldn’t find my color Laura Mercier foundation at Sephora, this weekend. Instead, I panic-bought a thing of BareMinerals, which matches skin perfectly but has made me break out like crazy. Is the great coverage just to hide how bad this makes your skin? Ugh!

Two things:

Oh, I love flowers! All the time. Flowers for everyone!

As someone who lives in their rumored test community for this concept, I’m excited. They’re not just catering to lower income shoppers, but also smaller cities that cannot currently support a large, fully stocked Whole Foods. I’ll settle for non-organic, if it means I can get interesting produce, an actual bakery, and

My five year-old self is having A Lot Of Feelings about the fact that they'd revive Strawberry Shortcake instead of Cherry Merry Muffin. She was obviously the cooler baking-themed doll.

Seconded! I would kill for a Kelly/Jezebel-approved romance column every month.

STACY FOREVER!

Oh, definitely! I actually just moved to a small city that only has a JoAnn's and a Hancock, so I've become an online fabric maven lately. If I'm looking for something specific and don't mind paying, I'm a big fan of Mood (of course) and Gorgeous Fabrics (http://gorgeousfabrics.com/), but one of my favorite online

Learn to sew! A fabulous group of plus sized sewing bloggers recently joined forces to form The Curvy Sewing Collective, a resource for other plus sewers. (http://curvysewingcollective.com/) They do great pattern reviews, fitting tutorials, and articles all specifically written with plus sizes in mind. My own wardrobe

YES! Danny getting hit by a cab was, hands down, my favorite reference of this whole episode. My husband had to pause it for a good five minutes, while I cackled uproariously and repeated "I was looking up!" in a Deborah Kerr voice

I was just about to post this video. Thank you!

My husband uses it in his senior level Race in America class, because of the re-appropriation of blackface, but it makes me so angry from a feminist perspective. On one hand, the word bitch is problematic, sure. On the other hand, the women in this video are still

Absolutely gorgeous! Though, I decamped from the RTW world long ago, due to the lack of pretty plus size fashions. Sewing my own clothes has been the most positive thing I've ever done for my body image. Not only can I have the clothes I want, but they always fit me perfectly. Plus, there are some kick ass plus size

Perfect for Platinum Miracle Filler from Pureology! I have super thick, super fine blonde hair that tangles at the first sign of water. This is the only product that detangles my finicky locks, without looking oily or weighing them down. Even better, it preserves my color like a beast. I cannot recommend it enough and

Seconded! It has great coverage, like a foundation would, but feels weightless on. I cannot rave about it enough, especially the oil-free version.

This article hits entirely too close to home. My younger sister—a lovely, vibrant, smart girl who happens to be white—has been dating a South Asian boy for the last two years. They'd been best friends for an eon, when his mother was perfectly nice to her, before finally deciding to date their sophomore year of high

Ugh.

There are TORNADOES? Fuck. I thought the damned bomb-dropping boxes were bad. I thought, after 267 levels, that I was finally getting the hang of it.

I have been lusting after these Miss L Fire green boots for months now. End 2013 with delightfully emerald Victorian-inspired footwear, so that I can live vicariously through you!

Me too! Cabs are fine, but I'd rather have a Pinot Noir every time.

Also, hooray for INFJs! There aren't that many of us, supposedly. I'll tip my next glass of Pinot to you.

Add bacon and balsamic vinegar! They are fucking vegetable candies. My beloved makes them all the time, which is reason #345 I'm marrying the guy.
