This ... almost makes me sense to me? Some people who are intensely observant can’t touch anything that a menstruating woman has touched. Calling them “dirty” sounds awful and is totally rude and inappropriate, but I sort of think the theological reason behind it is related to purity and blood. The sensible person…

That is a myth.

I actually have problems with anxiety but I was significantly less anxious or nervous that day than I have been for other important events. As long as I didn't dwell too much on things I was fine - I just kept doing what I had planned and all was well. I started shaking fairly badly when I put the ring on my husband's…

I almost peed in my husband's cousin's closet while staying at their house. I had taken a sleeping pill because the bed was uncomfortable and woke up in her closet - in a completely different room from where we were sleeping. Luckily, my husband retrieved me and brought sent me to the actual bathroom.

I think I like them so much because (when done right) they are very moist. I find petit fours frequently dry - and a lot of people DO cover those with a melted fondant, which I find gross. They can also take even longer than cake pops to make. But to each her own! I had a standard wedding cake at my wedding! I do like…

You have clearly eaten inferior cake pops (a thing that has been happening since this cake pop trend started). I make cake pops with a normal cake, fully baked, then crumbled and mixed with frosting. Those are dipped in melted chocolate (or white chocolate), not fondant, and I think they're really delicious. I think…

I am going to spend the next year and a half constantly stressed out about politics. It is not a good thing.

I admire scotsworth’s opposition to domestic violence, but the ongoing comment theme of “you’re a hypocrite” is sort of silly - like you said, if I were doing what Bill did, my husband could throw a lamp at me. I would deserve it. That’s not victim blaming in my wildly hypothetical universe - I 100% would accept that…

Did she live in the south with Bill though? Some people really sponge up accents. I had a high school teacher who lived in West Virginia for a few years while her husband was in dental school and she STILL said “warshington” decades later. (Oddly, this same teacher had a tangential connection to the Clintons through a…

Yeah that was a little odd - like, paranoid that people are going to be talking about them? Welllll.....here we are. I would prefer not to have staff listening to my personal conversations either! (in this situation my husband would never be able to have a normal conversation ever - he is VERY private. We’d have to…

It is a good thing I would never be in that situation (well, it seems hugely unlikely) because I would probably throw the lamp. I might also throw other things too, although I probably wouldn’t be actually aiming at him. My aim is pretty mediocre so I can’t imagine I’d be a risk to much except the things I broke due…

Yeah, I have to admit I am with you there. I definitely do not condone abuse or domestic violence, but if I caught my husband cheating, and if it were going to cause everyone in the world (or a huge number of people) talk about it and our marriage, I would probably throw something too. And I would expect him to do the…

Not dumb! Most places will totally let you return it. Sephora lets you return pretty much anything - I don't know their exact policy but I returned a previous Tarte mascara which was irritating my eyes and I didn't have the box or receipt, just my Sephora Beauty Insider card, so there was a record of my purchase.…

I am constantly amazed at all the women on here who say they don't wear much makeup normally. It makes me wonder if I was socialized oddly or have self esteem issues or ... really like makeup. I do work in marketing, sort of, and the ladies I work with always have their face on. But if I am going to work or something…

Wait tell the rest of the class about these snail sheet masks. That sounds weird but also intensely appealing. I love masks.

I have mostly green eyes (that sounds like I have many eyes, what I mean is that my eyes are usually somewhere between blue and green) and wear a ton of eyeliner. I have a copper liquid liner from Sephora's brand that is excellent and great for my eye color. I sometimes add a little very neutral shadow with that. I…

There has to be a great difference in eyelashes, because I too have that terrible clumping goop problem with mascaras tons of people love. It doesn't help that I WANT huge, full, black-as-night lashes when they start out sort of pale and short and fine. I actually liked They're Real for that purpose but I also could…

I got strong-armed into their foundation a few weeks ago! It was by a nicer lady, but it was definitely YOU SHOULD GET TARTE. I do really like the foundation, actually, and I also love their containers for things - I want the lipstick just because of the pretty tubes. I do hate their mascara though and am in search…

I really liked it for a while but then it suddenly started making my lashes sort of crispy. I also could not get it off without thorough application of makeup remover, and then I would still wake up smudgy the next morning.

I tried Too Faced and hated it! I have really tiny, fine lashes though, and I suspect that some mascaras just don't do well on me - they glop up terribly and don't give me real volume.
