My husband did the invites and he ordered the wrong size envelopes - only his job was to print and assemble invites, and my job was to address and stamp the envelopes. We each did our part, then went to put them together and realized the mistake. We both started shouting, just random shouty sounds, then he stepped out…

I feel lucky as an adult that I was always friends with kids who had more and less than me, and that my folks hovered somewhere between working and middle class. I think I am able to socialise broadly as a result. I am not flustered or weird when I find that someone I care about lives in poverty, on the other hand I…

I submitted my cat last week! He looks like Stephen Merchant. Cause he's very tall, has blue eyes and usually smirks.

These are seriously LEGIT suggestions.

My MOH booked us dinner at a Mexican restaurant and rented out a room at a Japanese karaoke bar up the street. We were required to wear some form of animal print (this is a good way to theme everyone if you want 'costumes' but certain friends are gonna whine about dressing up) -…

I want to do one of these so bad. Since I turned 30 I have been high-fiving myself daily for finally understanding my own skin and how to manage it. Also I figured out how to do eyeliner that lasts all day, even when I am teaching and get all overheated and worn out. I WIN ADULTHOOD.

Remember when bling was not a word your mom uses?

I had an older boyfriend when I was in high school (he was a senior when I was a freshman, and we stayed together when he graduated - he ended up going to our local college to stay near me). When I graduated I decided to go to school about an hour from home, we figured we could do one year like that then he'd move up…

I think wolfhounds are amazing! I'd never get a purebred myself, but I used to go walking in Kildare when I lived in Ireland and about three times encountered this huge, burley dude, usually wearing a leather vest and kilt with doc martins, walking his wolfhound, who was named Cuchulain. It was magical. He also told…

Fun fact - before the introduction of the potato the Irish diet consisted of more than 50% dairy. Sour milk, milk curds, oats soaked in milk and just plain, raw milk was basically what people ate every day. In the summer they would also have some berries and apples, some addition of root veggies in the winter (or…

I also want to say this: get yourself some black pudding, onion marmalade and a french roll. You won't regret it.

I ate bear meat. I was in Romania and we accidentally crashed a wedding (we went into a restaurant and sat down, then realized a wedding was happening - the father of the bride invited us to stay for a little while and try the traditional foods - he was very drunk and very nice). Anyhow we were trying to communicate…

I keep wanting to like Gap because I remember it used to be such an easy place to shop, but everything looks too frumpy and mom-ish, and it's pricy for what it is.

Does anyone know of the brand Sessun? I love their stuff, but it's way expensive for like, jersey dresses. But I have found some pieces for sale on Asos…

I think that if you liked Tori in the 90's you will never not like her. There is plenty of music I grew out of, but I keep growing back into her. I loved her so hard when she was my first musical discovery (and I saved up babysitting money for two weeks to buy Little Earthquakes), I loved her more when I was a…

I forgot how hot it was when Slater called Jessie 'Mama'. Whew.

I have looked at these roughly 25 times since you posted them - I need an excuse to buy them!

J Crew bridesmaid dresses are all over ebay, FYI!

I love reading these and really want to write my own. I am just posting to say I also use this trader joe's facewash, but recently started using Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser after I saw a comment here recommending it. I use it every other day and it has done wonders for my pore-gunk situation and my cystic…

My husband is Irish and I am American, and it really does seem to work well not just because we are individually suited, but in my experience American women are more open and outspoken than many women from other cultures, and Irish men have a good sense of humor and usually have grown up in a culture that is a bit…

I wore these!

Legit question - I remember seeing a show about these Namibian women and they would sit inside these little tents from the waist down and burn herbs inside the tents. The purpose was to smoke their bits after their periods, to refresh them in a region without much water. The stuff gave them a scent and apparently…
