Meeeeee too! I think I just can't do true reds at all. I'm very fair and cool toned, but I also have yellowish teeth (ugh, too lazy to do the whole whitening thing), and genuinely red lips end up looking hilariously fuchsia and emphasizing the yellow in my teeth. NAGL.

Right? Such a glorious grenade of an insult.

Exactly! That’s my assumption too, and why I resist the urge to contact him. It wouldn’t achieve anything except make me feel better, and that’s a bad reason to do it.

And yes, my own relationship with my mom has me predisposed to look for this dynamic. My parents are still together because my Dad’s a pussy who gave in to everything she wanted.

Are you me? :/

My “excuse” is also that I was young and dumb, along with the fact that the last time I had tried to break up with someone he ended up making multiple suicide threats, so I kept things going longer than I should have. But I was also a terrible asshole, and I’ve felt awful about it for eight years. Often…

Or being told that they’re too ugly/fat/otherwise undesirable to have any man want to have sex with them anyway. (The irony of the obvious contradiction of the erstwhile propositioner, of course, is not recognized.) In fact, those two accusations often get leveled at the same time, which is a beautiful one-two punch…

People who don’t get how photobooths work (gif-creating or otherwise) are my absolute favorite. We got a CD of all the photos from our wedding photobooth, and while many of our friends were hilarious and creative, the sets of shots of individual, unaccompanied elderly relatives staring blankly and unmovingly into the…

I try. I try so hard. :/ It's not even constipation! The whole system just...shuts down??

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be sure to try that out on my next trip!

Right? So weird that bodily functions freak right out as soon as you are removed from your usual context. It's like a small toddler who gets super nervous around strangers despite your best efforts to be like, "THIS IS YOUR AUNT. SHE'S OKAY." Sheesh.

You're lucky — I almost never poop on vacation. My routine gets thrown off and my body just decides that's it for the duration. It's terrible but short of taking a laxative there's not much I can do.

Yiiiiiikes! The Kalalau is treacherous enough without adding broken limbs into it. I'm so glad you still enjoyed your honeymoon — Kauai is one of my favorite places in the world.

It’s incredibly chilling, especially since she made a bunch of personnel changes without Miscavige’s approval just before she disappeared. I’m 100% sure he wanted to have her killed or locked up or something as punishment but even he couldn’t quite pull that off. I just found out yesterday that the Arrowhead compound…

I swear by balsamic vinegar with a little bit of honey and vegetable oil, combined with holes in the plastic wrap. Be warned that the holes in the wrap have to be larger than you'd expect or the dumbasses won't make their way in. "But this is practically a hole punch in the plastic!" you say. "There's no way…

As a teenager and in my early twenties, I was horrified by the volume of oil I was producing and didn't have a clear understanding of physiological feedback loops. So I scrubbed my face with harsh, abrasive cleansers like St. Ives' apricot scrub at least twice a day and never used moisturizer because I obviously didn'…

I'm seconding MUFE Mat Velvet+! I have an oil slick for a face (better now that I'm moisturizing properly, but still oily), and it does a great job of providing good, buildable coverage that gives a natural finish and wears well. Even if it fades, it does so evenly and without pooling, creasing, or otherwise looking…

What's your favorite underappreciated product?

Love you, Sophie, but I'm not pleased that you think Margaery is "kind of a slut." :/

You can at most counters, but some require (or strongly, strongly "suggest") that you buy a certain dollar amount of products. Be sure to ask before they start in on you.

100% agree. Gigi's eyeshadow should barely come up past her crease, and then only the transition shade. A subtly smoked outer corner would have been killer! And while you can occasionally get away with breaking the "bold eye or bold lips: pick one" rule, that is not a combo that qualifies.
