This post is almost a week old by now but I felt the need to add a comment. Just today I read an interesting article on the Chemists Corner blog regarding scaremongering groups. It jumped out to me because Campaign for Safe Cosmetics was mentioned — one of these groups. Long story short, the people who campaign…

Chanel fanny pack. Chanel. Fanny pack. YOU GUYS!

And if the pot kind of hardens and becomes difficult to use, you can stir it with a toothpick and it'll be as good as new, nice and soft!

DUDE, THIS CHANGED MY PAINTED EYEBROW LIFE. True story.

I have eyebrows that are great towards the centre but pretty much disappear midway, after the peak of the arch. I use a thin angled brush, Louise Young L31, that I bought because Sam Chapman of Pixiwoo said it's the best, and paint my eyebrows on using thin strokes with Dipbrow. Totally looks like hair unless you look…

Bullshit, pretty much. But you can cover them very well using a bit of orange-toned concealer to neutralise purplish tones and then putting another concealer on top that is the same colour as your skin. Orange and red lipstick has been used in drag makeup forever to cover beards. Tattoos can also be covered this way.

In the same article she mentions naturopaths so I get the feeling she was — unfortunately — not talking about medical doctors in the eastern hemisphere.

You cannot boost your immune system. Immune system boosting is just another one of those made-up claims that quacks try to sell, and do actually sell rather well. No CAM practice does anything for cancer, it should not even be mentioned in a non-negative light in an article about cancer.

This whole "Eastern" medicine — as far as I know, medicine is the same all over the world, it is not different in the mythical East, the land of unicorns and cancer-eradicating raw fruit smoothies? — and other mentions of 'alternative' medicine really bug me. It's quackery. QUACKERY DOES NOT WORK. When it comes to…

"Jeremy Irons" is a pretty cool name. JUST THE NAME, OKAY. "Max Irons" sounds like a dudebro. NAME.

It probably means that you look like you want people to stay away. Ugliness doesn't stop creeps.

If you are a Chris Hemsworth lookalike, you still should not be chatting up women at the gym.

It was satire but I still don't understand if the Jezebel writer and many commenters understand that.

Who the fuck talks on treadmills? Don't they need to breathe? Lazy people.

Please; these are 2lb weights.

I just ignore everyone, unless I ask them if they're using something that is next to them and I want to use (SO SEDUCTION, SUCH LINE!). I'm a woman, it's a defense mechanism. Honestly, I would recognise maybe one person who goes to my gym, on the street. No one hits on me probably because they think I'm a major…

I do these and I don't fucking care who's watching. I have to tell myself that we are all there to work out and while it looks sexual, it's a common, very good exercise and every gym regular knows how not sexual it is.

I've seen Mary as a middle name for several men in Ireland, but only as the middle name. I've been working here for ten years so I am not an expert by any means; this is just my experience.

The thing is that there is no single best diet. It's not been found and it probably does not exist. People do fine on all kinds of different diets precisely because of this but they don't know it.

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." Michael Pollan is full of shit these days but that remains sound advice.
