I’m in LA right now and I’m in a similar boat. Job suck so hard because my boss is an ass, I’m making progress with school (but it’s a slog), and my boyfriend is in Louisiana working for a month. Plus, though I do have a couple friends, they are either far away or (justifiably) preoccupied because they are about to…

Hi - are you me? because you just described my reality. my husband works in law enforcement so he works crazy long hours, weekends, and night shift. we haven’t really seen each other in almost two weeks. today he got up earlier than usual and i was excited because i thought we’d get to squeeze in some quality time. i…

This may not really be what you are looking for, but there was a “family dance” at my older sister’s wedding in lieu of the father/daughter dance. I danced with my sister and my brother-in-law danced with his mom. My sister and I don’t get along with my father, so even though he attended the wedding I walked her down…

I most likely won’t have a father or mother at my wedding (I’m estranged due to family violence). I’d love to hear stories and anecdotes from other brides who have similar family situations and how they dealt with it (bonus if your in-laws are wonderful). I’d love to hear stuff to give me some hope that I’m not…

Okay, since I’m still a bit salty from the thread earlier this week:

hey guys. i’m cooking filipino food tonight. looking forward to it.

Hi. Do you - like me - have different TV taste from all your friends and have no one in real life to talk to about your favourite shows? I know that is what the internet is for but, seriously, since TWoP died there are no good TV gossip sites, they’re all populated by crazy people. And tumblr is bleh.

Fuck I love Tom Hardy.

I’m such a sucker for expensive products, even though I know that half the time something cheaper works better.

I say I prefer real books and I like owning physical books. But when I have time to read nowadays I'm much more likely to read an ebook on my phone. I can buy a book the instant I want it and my phone is always within reach. So if I can't sleep or I'm stuck waiting somewhere longer than I thought, I can read without…

Does anyone have any toner recommendations? I’m in my late 20s , oily skin and mostly concerned about sun damage. There are so many options out there! I don’t mind spending $$

I was randomly gifted the leave in spray and was really pleasantly surprised by it. It works just as well on my rough hair as high end products. But the spray bottle isn’t the most convenient applicator, I wonder if the balm is better.

I like the Proganix Quench line.

Stephen King is a master at creating indelible characters.

I had a mid-30s birthday just over a week ago and decided I’m FINALLY going to start wearing more makeup. I’ve been buying stuff for years but because I didn’t really know how to apply it properly, I’d try to use it a couple of times, get frustrated and never really use it again. I’ve spent a lot of money on makeup…

I’ve just begun yet another Stephen King (honestly that man writes more books than I can keep up with), Revival. As you no doubt know, King is very off-and-on, but when he’s on, he’s really on. So far, this one is looking great! It’s got that hollow-yet-warm, nostalgic Ray Bradbury-ish tone that I often find in King’s…

BEAUTY THREAD!

I miss I Thee Dread, so how about a wedding thread. Give me your good, bad, and funny.

I sometimes add my Sephora Custom FX to lotion and it helps.

Good news: So I finally booked my first international trip: Munich! I’m going the week before Christmas, so I’ll get to experience all the Christmas markets! The only downside is that I now have to answer all the “Who are you going with questions?” but I don’t care-I’m going to Germany!
