Age does make a big difference - in my early 20’s I remember not liking the people my friends dated and now I look back and think it’s because we spent so much time together, a boyfriend usually cut into that time. And guys in their early 20’s are generally annoying. So go figure. In my 30’s I am more open, and in my…

I sometimes use the Bobbi Brown gel liner (got it at duty free in the airport, woo woo). I like it cause I can really work it into the lashes and unless I am going for a night-time look I prefer the softer line. I can’t do a nice flick with it though so I often use liquid in the corners.

However, when doing make-up, there are no ‘happy accidents’.

This reminds me of a Bob Ross painting - just when I think ‘oh no, what have you done? This will never work!’, it works.

Also I hate pen eyeliner, I actually find liquid with a brush to be more forgiving. Urban Decay stopped making theirs so I go between blacks of varying quality from the Indian beauty supply store…

Awwwww, your dog looks really worried about the new baby!!

I took a video of my husband showing our cats the ultrasound photos - one of them attacked the strip and ran through the house with it in her mouth. I am due in 4 months so, uh, let’s hope this wasn’t indicative of anything.

Probably because it can feel insulting when you declare something you wouldn’t do personally to be tacky. And anyone who has been through an engagement and wedding is very familiar with all the opinions out there! My mother-in-law, for example, declared all strapless dresses to be ‘in poor taste’ (my dress was…

This whole scenario is creepy. Also I guess I don’t hug my husband that often - I cuddle him and kiss him, and often peck him when I leave the house, but never really go in for a quick hug. The whole thing is confusing. And reminds me of that Oprah interview with Tom Cruise when he hugged Katie Holmes goodbye.

However…

thank you!

I really don’t understand why you have a strong opinion about this - I sort of have a ‘to each their own’ feeling about weddings.

However when step-kids are present it’s really nice to include them as much as possible, absolutely. A few years ago my cousin married a guy who had a 6-year-old daughter. She was in some…

If I were going to ask for a beauty box subscription for Christmas, which one would I ask for?? I read these posts all the time but I get information overload.

I’d like a variety of items - so nothing as specialty as the mask subscription box or a single-brand type box. What’s sort of the best all-around one? A…

Do you know why? My sis had a booze-free wedding because her husband’s family are Mormon. It would have been awkward if our family got trashed (we do that at weddings, we can’t really handle moderation when it’s a party...) and his family just sat back horrified by the Catholic heathens.

We all stayed in the same…

Well this makes me feel a little better - knowing we wouldn’t be the only people with a child with 5 names! I have never been good at narrowing down anyways - I had 7 bridesmaids, I love small plate restaurants because I get order anxiety, and in decorating I struggle to stick with one theme. I also am working on a…

Elicia! That is one to consider. Thank you.

They are Patricia and Elizabeth. Patrizabeth? They combine in fairly ridiculous ways.

My husband and I both hyphenated (which pretty much made people’s heads explode). I wanted to share a name with him and my future children, but felt attached to my name and he felt attached to his. He suggested the idea and we tried it out on our cat for a year and facebook before we legally did it (her forms at the…

Yeah I legit want an adult pair of those elastic-waisted jeans lined in soft jersey, with extra room in the butt.

Thanks!
Actually my husband just suggested yesterday we add tons of baby clothes to the registry (hahaha, DONE, why do people insist on tacky pink shit when there is so much awesome stuff to dress baby girls in!!!) (note, my baby might end up dressing like a hipster). He also said we could encourage close friends and…

I have driven in 5 different countries! And usually rent manuals because I am cheap! The only place where it got seriously dicey is Costa Rica because we got stuck in a mudslide, and the car got wrecked when we coasted into a tree. However - we were so upset the woman who owned the guesthouse we were staying in got us…

I have a cousin who actually has one of these chairs with the rhyme. Her daughter wears pink tutus everywhere, pigtails and for fun they put make-up on her and sing the frozen soundtrack.

So I just found out I am expecting a girl baby (yay!) and she says, “I have SO many great hand-me-downs for you!!!!”.

Actually, is…

What do people put on their faces for dark spots that remain after a break-out? I am pregnant and my skin is doing some mean stuff. Acne on my chin, blackheads in my nose, everything is simultaneously dry and flaky but oily. And for every pimple I am left with a purple-hued patched when it clears up. I put coconut oil…
