I can’t get past Kourtney’s boots. I’m sure they cost thousands of dollars, but they look like she saved up a few paychecks and bought them at Contempo Casuals and now feels the need to wear them with EVERYTHING, even if they don’t go with the outfit. 

Hot Take: Weddings are growing because as women gain power and money many choose to unapologetically do girly ass stuff with that money like wear awesome dresses and have a great party.

I once went super above and beyond on a job, and my boss told me to go out for dinner sometime in the next week to a nice restaurant, take a friend, and expense the meal as a thank you.

As I said yesterday, solo dining at a Brazilian Steakhouse is a power move. 

I love eating alone. And one of my favorite things about it is reading a good book while I eat. Welcome to the 21st century! There are these wonderful devices such as e-readers, tablets, and phones, all of which allow you to read a book while you eat! They can usually be easily propped up with a salt shaker or some…

Like what?  Every week or so I make “refrigerator soup” which uses leftovers and canned this and that.  Soup if very forgiving.  

Why I love The Takeout. THIS, right here. Practical ideas.

No way!! A New Yorker complaining they can’t get a good _______ (fill in the blank) in a location they happen to be in. Shocking I tell you. Shocking.

(My grandmother ran a similar subterfuge: for her entire life, she made a great show of seeking and appearing to defer to men’s opinions, and then she proceeded to do exactly as she pleased.)

If the Hanna-Barbera documentaries of yore have taught me anything, the elephants ARE the vacuums and it is, in fact, their living 

This is prose-cursing on the level of Veep. Made me chuckle.

So between $10,000 and $1,000,000? Helpful info.

Ditching the royalty thing is worth it just for the fact that he will probably never be required to interact with Boris Johnson again. You can practically see it on his face in this photo.

I am glad someone said it.

You aren’t alone. I love living with my spouse, too. I love coming home at night and talking to him, or sitting next to him as we read our own books, or watch dumb shows together. Every once in a while we can both work at home on the same day and that is great, too. He even snores, but I’d still rather sleep with him…

“Spending money irresponsibly because the amount seems trivial” is an unwanted side effect of wealth, not the goal.  This philosophy is intentional lifestyle creep.

Yes. People sent money, and the Australian and New Zealand governments sent about 190 firefighters to help.

One of the lessons I’m learning in my 30s is that, as a society, we do a really bad job of encouraging people to really discern what they want. Of course, with all financial advice, there’s not necessarily one “right” answer. But with every individual, there should be a real soul-searching process that I don’t think…
