I live in Austin. They're sending all of the samples and stuff from Dallas down here. I should probably go home, too. For safety.

Parts of the Mueller grounds are used for other things now, most of which is for movie/TV sets for Austin Studios. Robert Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios is located there, as well.

Also this! I've ended relationships partly because the other party DID want kids. That was MY deal breaker.

I try to believe that my friends that say these kinds of things aren't trying to be condescending, but they really are. I've heard so many times after saying that I don't want kids (not because I hate them, but because I've never felt that desire), that in a few years I'll probably change my mind. The way some of them…

They are very, very bad. Here's a short list: skull abnormalities, slits where ears should be, cleft palate, thyroid problems, eye and face deformities, nervous system and cardiovascular problems. Accutane carries a black-box warning for a very good reason. There's a good reason for all of those pregnancy tests. I had…

Yup. If she'd been following directions, and heeding the TONS of warnings she probably received from her doctor (nobody wants THAT lawsuit), she frankly wouldn't have gotten pregnant anyway, short of what would practically be immaculate conception. The documentation you're given when you are put on Accutane/similar…

This x1,000. Microtears! This is even worse if you have acne or sensitive skin - very likely to just exacerbate the problem.

The info on SkincareAddiction is legit. Thanks for sharing the link. If anyone is looking for an alternative to a microbead cleanser, or anything else, I'd recommend going there.

Ack. Ack ack ack. Re: all the baking soda recommendations - no. This isn't good for your skin. The general pH of your skin is around 4.5-5. The pH of baking soda is around 9. It might work for *your* skin, and in that case, you're lucky. But recommending it to someone else, especially with some other harsh ingredient…

St. Ives Apricot Scrub uses crushed apricot pits, which isn't bad. The bad part is that they have jagged edges, which can cause micro-tears in your skin. It's pretty harsh.

You should just bust those out anyway, because awesome.

I'm growing my hair out and am trying to decrease breakage, both in the middle and at the ends. Braids are my best friend, especially during exercise.

Thisssssssss. I've heard more than once that "your face looks really red today, are you okay?" Yup. That's just my face. >.>

Not at all - I'm really glad you brought it up! I don't think it's something most people probably think of. I didn't, anyway.

I've heard more pro's about physical sunscreens (probably because of this, but I haven't done much research - thanks to you, I will though!) than chemical. Physical ones tend to be pretty pale and can leave a white cast. Off to do sunscreen research!

Good to know! I wonder if that makes a difference if they're both chemical sunscreens or if one is physical and the other chemical.

I have some scarring/pitting left on the underside edge of my jawbone that just looks like a shadow most of the time, so that's lucky I guess. If it were more visible, I'd absolutely cover it up (not that anyone should have to, but that would be my choice). Regardless of outside reaction, it would make me personally…

What I've found is that a lot of guys who think they're looking at "natural" girls/women are actually looking at girls/women with light or very natural-looking makeup, like what you said. Some light foundation, powder, or tinted moisturizer, mascara, maybe a little blush.

Thank you. Congrats - you don't wear makeup. I don't wear makeup every day. I'm probably 50/50, and I'm no worse for the wear if I don't wear it. The days I do wear makeup, it's because I have fun putting it on and I like the way it makes me look. It's not because I have shit self-esteem, I think I'm ugly, I want…

Glad to see Girls with Slingshots and Hyperbole on this list. I'd also love to see Gods and Undergrads (to say nothing of Bonnie N. Collide, which is sortof a niche comic) by Monica Gallagher to the list as well.
