I got the Eyeko Eyeliner in my Birchbox this month. NO. You don't want it. I've bought Eyeko eyeliners before — the slim or "minis". They all dried out within a month, and the felt tip fell out of the black one. Tossed the lot. Come this month's Birchbox, I decide to give it another try. My go-to felt-tip lately…

I'm really loving the Bobbi Brown Art Stick in "sunset orange." I bought the Dusty Pink one hoping it'd be a matte MLBB for me (it is, hooray). Fell in love with the texture and finish, and wanted another, so I got the orange (my skin tone is pale and a little yellow — the red was too pink for me). It's muted, so…

OMG. I had this exact dream the same night as you did. My wedding was six months ago.

I designed a postcard for our save the date too, with a bunch of cool full-bleed elements across the back. I design postcards frequently for my job, so when I popped in the template and realized how much space I had to leave blank for postoffice business, I decided to pay the extra 20 cents and put them in envelopes…

Sometimes it works out — I did this with stamps. I ordered a set of stamps from the USPS website and counted wrong and accidentally doubled the order. I was so mad at myself because I was really watching my dollars at that point in the process and it was a lot of money. However, once I stuffed all the invites I…

I don't know if Menupages is in other cities, but their app is great and 90% of the time I'm looking at a review site to either see the menu, or find out if I need (or if they take) reservations. Menupages gets all that right out front. I also think, for NYC, that New York mag does fantastic restaurant reviews. Most…

Me too. It was life-changing. I used to be in pain 2 weeks out of every month, could barely eat, definitely couldn't drink anything hot. Swishing 4-5x per day (even at the office, ew) with milk of magnesia and hydrogen peroxide (google said to dilute by half with water but I was straight up pouring it on there by…

I don't know, but back when I was in college, I fervently prayed every night that somehow it would be banned. Why? Because my next door neighbor, in an old dorm with paper thin walls, was fucking a professor. I could hear *everything*. I could hear her typing and sketching. I regularly broke into her room (Ok,…

Oooh, I missed this Tuesday! I'm sharing mine because my hubby ALSO had awesome shoes (and socks). And our wedding was exactly 6 months ago tomorrow!

Montana expatriate here! This is fun to see on Jez. Mr. cowboy hat Deputy Bryson is in fact the uncle of one of my highschool classmates, so I saw this on Facebook a few days ago. Montana connections all around!

I get those dry patches on my eyelids too. Suuuper itchy, flaky, and scaly. I have sensitive skin (obvs) so any little thing can set it off. I got married 6 months ago and it took about 3 to heal from all the damage caused by all the excess makeup, makeup remover, eyelash glue, honeymoon sun. I started using Bobbi…

That could be an allergic reaction — or subcutaneous dermatitis, depending on where it is (sides of your nose?) Also, when my rosacea flares up it can result in little bumps with tops that look like whiteheads (broken capillaries comes with that territory too). You might want to see a dermatologist just in case!

That could be — I thought maybe the canker sores were hormonal or stress related, but it really was as simple as switching. Interesting about the castor oil in your Lipsmackers! My brow lady told me to rub a bit on the bald brow patches every night and it would help the hairs grow back — seems like pseudo-science but…

Seconding you on the CeraVe. I've started to develop Rosacea (I knew what it was, since it can be hereditary and my grandma has it). I went to a fancy-pants dermatologist in NYC for confirmation and a prescription, and she recommended CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer. I was so so grateful that she wasn't hawking…

I've said this elsewhere but after some internet sleuthing, I switched from Colgate toothpaste, which contains sodium laureth-sulfate, to Crest, which does not. Lo and behold, the godawful, painful, eating/kissing/everything-preventing canker sores that plagued me almost monthly for about 7 years ceased to be a…

Switching toothpastes also cured me of the horrendously painful canker sores that I would get at least once a month. Literally, have only had them once since I switched. I just switched from Colgate to Crest and was cured.

Thank you so much. It was 4.5 years ago, and I still think about it all the time. I wish she would have had someone to talk to, when she hadn't slept for almost seven straight days after her 2nd child's birth, who would say, let me help you. One of our friends always checks in with us on the anniversary of the day…

Thanks for sharing. I wish and hope that more women will. My dear friend killed herself while in the grip of post-partum psychosis, even though she was on the verge of getting help (had an appointment the next day). I was really proud of her husband for never sugar-coating what happened to her: she had a disease and…

My mother did that. She had a very 80s diamond solitaire (they got married very very young, no engagement ring — my dad bought her a ring when I was a kid, once he could afford it). She kept having to get the prongs fixed and the gold rebuilt as the band thinned (she was a teacher so her hands got a lot of wear and…

I just scrolled back up to look at this again and I'm so glad I did, for this:
"Oh la la! Somber French Economist Pics Inside!"
