Nuts.com is so good tho. They have these cocoa-dusted almonds that I’ve never seen anywhere else and omg I just ordered another pooouuuunnnndddd.

I just read a snippet of an interview with Josh Charles where he said they had to sew the 2 extra popped collars into the shirt because layering 3 shirts didn’t work. It’s a truly great look.

Oh I have a zillion ramekins too. I had 4 and then got 8 more off my wedding registry. Hilariously, I somehow missed that they came in sets of 4 when I registered so I put down that I wanted 8.... which would have translated to 32 of the little bastards. My mother-in-law called me from Crate + Barrel all “G....? You…

I live in NYC, and despite our 24 hour public transportation, readily available cabs, and ubiquitous Ubers, I saw “Vision Zero” branded beer mats in our local bar last night. They’re not pretty, and they may or may not be effective, but at least they’re not sexist!

Block of cream cheese + jar of cocktail sauce. Put block on plate, dump the sauce over it. Dip celery sticks or tortilla chips into it. Doesn’t really matter what you dip, actually — whatever it is, is just a vehicle for cream cheese + cocktail sauce. Yum!

I have two friends from college who got together after graduation and got married a few years later. After their rehearsal dinner, I slept with the bride’s younger brother (a highlight: we’re grinding away when all of a sudden I jump up, run out to the porch of his room, naked, to throw up in the parking lot—I learned…

China Rich Girlfriend, the sequel, came out today! (I....may have had it on pre-order). Holding out on reading it till my vacation in 2 weeks! I’m re-reading the first one to tide me over!

My husband doesn’t like cake but loves Tiramisu

Oh yeah same thing happened with mine. We were moving, so we planned to drive the cats over to the new place super early in the morning before the movers came. My husband went to get the car, I packed the cats up in one carrier and one crate (wasn’t about to buy a second $50 carrier that would never be used again),…

I have rosacea (happily now pretty under control with medication — I do recommend). I use Clinique’s CC cream over concealer. I really like it — it’s much more blendable than the Smashbox BB cream I used before and I feel like it helps with sallowness too. I don’t wear regular liquid foundation and it definitely evens…

I use concealer on my undereyes, around my nose, and mid-chin to cover redness. Then I lightly pat or sponge on CC cream. If I’m covering a zit I do that step after CC cream. Mine is Clinique and it’s not too heavy so I find it’s easier to blend on top of the thicker/heavier concealer laid down as a foundation, rather…

I recently bought new workout shoes because out of nowhere the balls of my feet started hurting so bad I couldn’t sleep. I realized my gym shoes were like 5 years old — and I go to the gym almost every day and wear my shoes out and about too. That was definitely the problem.

Yes, this is the best of the current Maybelline options. Truly truly waterproof (I go to the gym at lunch and it doesn't budge from sweat or a shower). Most other mascaras, even high end, will kill the curl but Maybelline always holds it. And their blackest blacks are very glossy and smooth, not chalky or greyish.

I have to give her some credit — she wasn't crappy per se, but she was very much there for The Venue and not for me — so she made sure the catering and bartending went smoothly, and she did fix me a drink and a plate of food at one point, but otherwise I was on my own to make sure music and toasts and everything else…

No I think you’re right oeffoff. I have a 40-year-old coworker who has, I think, been to 10 or 15 NKOTB concerts in the past 3-4 years. She has taken an official tour of their homes in Boston. She has been backstage. One of her friends went on the cruise and is featured on the reality show. She will be a fan…

Little late but it's a funny story. My wedding was outdoors at a country club and we had a cocktail hour on the patio after the ceremony. It was a really warm day for September and I guess a nest of some kind of flying ant started hatching right in the middle of the cocktail hour. Bugs were literally raining down…

THREE SLAPS! (It's an adaptation of an Australian series that was an adaptation of a book that I thought was quite good in my professional opinion.)

I started thinking about it in earnest about 2 months after my wedding, when I got my first tattoo. My husband has around 50, I now have 2 and will probably end up with 10 or more over the next couple of years. I admit I spent some time thinking about how they'll look on older skin. My husband and I are in our…

I just have to share that I legit saw an animated commercial for the Creation Museum on TV yesterday — on the Food Network, during a Chopped rerun. The museum is in Kentucky, I live in NYC. It was the weirdest thing!

I have sensitive skin and I would recommend CeraVe — that's what my Derm told me to use when she diagnosed me with Rosacea (I was so happy to get a relatively reasonably-priced drugstore rec, I did a little happy dance). Use the one specifically formulated for face though. I use the AM/PM because I'm rigorous about…
