I use Nads, which is sort of hilarious because I remember the informercials with all the Australian ladies. But I like waxing them because the hair grows back slower and finer, I just never really have silky smooth legs because it doesn't pull out the hairs that aren't long or thick enough. I am just way lazy about…

Now if it was actually a classic, delicious cheesecake, without any chocolate on it (because: WHY?!?) and I was allowed to order an entire half, only served to me in modest slices so I never had to really acknowledge what I was about to do - there would be NO PROBLEM eating it in one sitting. Also it's basically a…

I shop pretty exclusively second-hand, I use etsy as well. Ebay is great actually - you can search forever 21 dresses, target dresses etc. or go for nicer brands that will hold up a while. It's really important I think that even on a budget we do our best - I don't want to pay a company my hard-earned money if they…

My masters thesis was on women in Ireland and the UK who reborn/collect reborns. The title is kinda fucked up here. It's like saying "A Man Collects Toy Soldiers Despite Having 4 Kids". I mean, yeah it's the likeness of a human, it's still a doll. Even the more eccentric women who collect dolls can indeed tell the…

I am actually appalled by all the 'sorry I have student loans, can't care about this' comments - it's depressing to me that so many people have reached that level of apathy. I make sure at least 75% of my clothes are second-hand or ethically made because in the age of 'fast fashion' I feel like it's the least I can…

It seems so apparent that her education and personal growth ended in about the 10th grade. I've worked with kids who are in junior high and high school and her comments and the way she articulates herself is very much like developing teenage girls, not like a woman in her 20's. I think fame does that to a lot of…

For some reason they look like characters from a VC Andrew novel in this photo...

I just converted to waxing my legs. I use nads! My guess is that in the long run I'll save quite a lot because I only need to wax ever 3 weeks, and I think this is the environmentally better option...

I posted a rant on facebook about cancer love stories and no less than 6 people commented to defend of how AMAZING this book is. GAG.

I don't really know how to put this, but you know the difference between going and getting a pedicure that comes with a really nice foot-massage, and you leave feeling like "yes! awesome! I feel great! totally restored!", versus soaking your feet in the tub, scrubbing away with your pedi-egg til your arms are tired,…

When Beth dies in the 90's version of Little Women. Ugggghhhhhh.

He has been my celebrity crush for a while now - and recently it was pointed out to me that my real-life husband is basically a more likeable version of his character from The IT Crowd (my husband is a beardy, tee-shirt wearing, sarcastic, Irish web-designer). I pretty much wanted to high-five myself. James Franco on…

Birth control isn't that big of a deal in the Mormon church anymore - there is no official stance against it. However, I know a lot more Catholics who do Catholicism their way and don't worry too much about what exactly the Pope is saying this week, and very few Mormons who are willing to challenge or even quietly…

Well the suns rays are more harmful now because we messed up the ozone layer - and skin cancer is definitely on the rise. People used to die younger for a number of reasons! I don't consider sunscreen-evangelism one of the main factors in our improved life expectancy.

It's very dystopian really - living in a world where we can no longer venture outdoor without protection.

I wear an SPF moisturiser on my face....the rest of me is sun-kissed, or, has been exposed to the kiss of death. I'm not anti-sunscreen, I just don't burn and don't really spend that much time outdoors so when I…

The best part of all of this Kimye-does-Europe is that in Ireland everyone is tweeting fake sightings and the E! reporting staff are so confused. It's all sort of insider jokes about things in Ireland, sample "Saw @Kimye in O'Dwyers Spar in their wellies getting breakfast rolls, must have savage hangovers on them"…

I actually think Alexandra Holden has a look that could be transformed into Dolly and I think it could be her 'breakout role'. She's been a side-kick character in a lot of movies (google image her and you'll be like 'ooooooh that chick'), but I think it's just because of her unusual look. She's too skinny to be given…

Thanks! I use a sulfate-free already but I am searching Amazon for a microfiber towel. I am dubious about gel because I don't want the wet-look, but maybe I'll give it a go... Thank you!

I might try that - though I have bangs so I have to do something with those - thanks!

Okay since this has dissolved into a general hair-talk thread I am going to pose a question:

My hair is neither curly or straight. It's wavy I guess, and their is a texture difference between the under-layer and top-layer, if that makes sense. It seems like it's fine but there is a lot of it. It's always a bit dull…
