Have you tried cerave? Their moisturizing cream is the only thing I can use on my eczema. I buy it by the tub at safeway.

Aveeno is my personal fave and is owned by J&J, which probably has their own history of bad calls although I can’t think of any off-hand. In fact Unilever prides themselves on being woke and green, but even Ben & Jerry has been seeing controversy. Every big corporation has their issues.

Goat milk soap. My skin LOVES it. I have nummular eczema, and goat milk soap keeps it under control even in winter.

Drugstore or supermarket version of that same product works just as good.

What sort of price range do you call affordable? Also is Lush stuff any good for you? It’s pricier but as you only need such a small amount, it works out about the same. Can you use Nivea? If you don’t mind buying baby products, baby lotion and bubble bath (can be used as shower gel as well) are good. If brands aren’t…

Why is anyone turning into anyone? It’s soap not a fucking magic show.

Yup, told they’re being too sensitive, seeing something that isn’t there, cold shouldered for not being a “team player” if there’s a deadline to finish the add. If you’re black and at the level where you’re on the creative team for a million dollar company like Dove, you’re probably one of very few black people in…

I must relate my favorite Axe ad “experience.” I was at a packed screening of one of the X-Men movies (don’t ask.) The audience ratio of men to women was about 25:1. A few were in costume. Ho hum, a few ads come on, and then one for Axe. A woman is pissed. It’s pouring outside and she can’t get in touch with her date…

I was thinking, how hard is it to not make a racist ad?? But judging from the number of times Dove has “missed the mark” and created tone-deaf, problematic ads, even when they *claim* to support diversity, I guess it’s pretty fucking hard.

Totally understandable. I even agree. The dealmaking makes one twitch. But I think the next year’s spats between these two will be very...entertaining to say the least.

I’m definitely agreeing that that’s not a good thing.

That seems to be a common theme with pols, especially R pols. I know it’s because of money/reelection, but I always wonder if they realize their constituents would like them a whole lot better if they had spines and weren’t just blobbing around waiting for someone else to take a fucking stand.

It’s a shame he managed to grow a spine after he decided to retire?

WE NEED ROOM TO ENTERTAIN OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!

Earlier this year, my wife and I were between houses, so we watched a lot of HGTV, or as much as I could stand. But I got so sick of rich white couples where the wife is always kvetching about “more closet space,” while the husband’s walking around going “Where’s muh man cave! I gotta have a man cave!” This is in…

It is pretty amazing that it’s been nearly a year since the election and literally every bad thing in the world is still her fault.

But, for real, I’m sure Trump called her because the kids (probably Ivanka) said, “Daddy, she knows Czech and everything, please give Mummy an ambassadorship? All the other kids’ parents have one!” and so he offered, and Ivana was thinking, “Uh, yeah, I’ve worked for this bozo before, no fucking way.”

Yup, as soon as I figured out it wasn’t Ivanka I couldn’t hate. Do what you want Ivana, you’re free.

Actually what Ivana said is very wise — she’s filthy rich, why would she want to go into politics when she can just enjoy being filthy rich? I wish Trump thought about things that way. If I had that kind of money, the last thing I would want to do is spend time in conference rooms with politicians — I would be too…

What Ivana said...
