I’m sorry if this is an intrusive question, but are you a man or a woman? I’m a woman who’s the principal breadwinner in my marriage, and our tentative understanding is that my husband will be a stay-at-home dad when we eventually have kids. I’d love to hear positive anecdotes about that kind of arrangement working…

“Setting the standard means defining how well that work is performed on your own, rather than waiting for someone else to do it for you. If you only need to be 80% accurate, but you’re consistently reaching 90%, you’ve set a new standard for how your work should be done.”

Really? I’d be nervous to go to the police station for something like this. You don’t think the cops would be annoyed by a random woman stopping by for a friendly chat about real estate while they’re trying to work? Should I bring cookies?

Urban Decay’s Electric palette got marked down to $24 on a variety of sites, including Sephora! I just ordered it and am very excited. I only wear eyeshadow along my lower lashline (and usually only one color at a time) so I’m only slightly worried about looking like a deranged blacklight clown.

Well, yes. People don’t have the right to decide for themselves all the terms of their employment. Because we have things like minimum wage, 40 hour weeks, child labor laws...

My husband and I did an elaborate choreographed thing set to the opening theme song from the video game Chrono Cross.

Try Mac Cyber and Matte Royale!

Check out the novel I wrote for the other user on this thread!

I got my start through Soko Glam too! I feel grateful for the intro, but I probably wouldn’t buy from there again. You pay a high markup for the curation and there are some questionable choices in there (in my opinion). Check out the K-beauty starter guides I posted for the other user on this thread.

My inner K-beauty fan wants to scream “YES ABSOLUTELY HERE ARE ALL THE THINGS THEY USE THEY ARE AMAZING”, but then I remind myself that skincare is super your-milage-may-vary and that the things I use are not necessarily great for everyone. One of my favorite K-beauty bloggers has a series of starter kit posts for…

I went through a similar quarter life crisis recently and ended up getting into Korean skincare in a big way. The Korean 12 step routine has gotten a lot of attention in American media lately and the articles all claim that Korea is 10 years ahead of the USA in skincare technology (though we are ahead in makeup). I’m…

So I’ve got my Roth IRA in an index fund that’s targeted toward the year I’ll supposedly retire (2050). However, it’s been doing a lot worse than a similar Vanguard index fund I’m in. It scores well on the Lipper categories of expense and tax efficiency, but gets the lowest possible score on returns and preservation.…

Spring is my favorite season, and I tend to get a little overexcited for it. After a year of pretty frugal living, I just dropped $200 on skincare and makeup products. I feel a little bad about it, but I got a ton of great bargains, and in the end I'm ok with waiting another $200 worth of earning time for that house…

Wouldn’t that be to flout the law?

You still have to pay taxes that fund public schools even if you also spring for private school, yes? Or are you talking about moving the whole family because of a shitty school situation?

Search for Sonic Boom alarm clocks on Amazon - they've got a little vibrating bullet thing that you put under your pillow that's meant to shake you awake. Might be worth a try, if audial alarms don't work for you.

Any advice on introducing a new cat to our current cat? We're thinking of adopting another one soo, probably a young adult. Our current cat is also a young adult, and is just a little bit...twitchy. We're hoping an outgoing cat could help socialize her a bit more.

Check out Poe's Tobacco by Tokyomilk. I love it. :)

You did? That's fascinating. Would you mind sharing more about your experience?

I've never wanted to kick a firefighter's ass as much as I do right now.
