Honestly? For me, it depends on how painful and invasive the procedure is so I'd honestly say it's acceptable based on a case by case basis. I can't really speak to eyebrow or septum piercings because I've never had them and I don't know the healing timeline etc. I will say that I've had my nose pierced and that was…

No, I can just differentiate between degrees of harm.

Totally different customs. One is irreversible with lasting consequences. If you don't want earrings in your pierced ears, you can just choose not to wear them.

Why? I am South Asian and I had my ears pierced around age 3. I actually don't mind at all. My mom took care of the piercing etc. But I like wearing earrings so maybe it's different for those who don't.

Ehh, I live in Chicago and I pull on my uggs on the regular when I take my dog out for short walks. By short I mean like 10 minutes, I am just too lazy to pull my snow boots, lace them etc for such a short period of time. They keep my feet warm so it does the trick. I've only ever worn mine around the house though (or…

you could also try emailing the people at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books. I think they have a regular blog post where they try to locate particular books for when you don't know/remember the name or author.

YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!

Can I ask for what class?

This. I never got a rocking body with a personal trainer because, let's face it, I was never going to moderate my calorie intake (when I could afford one, before grad school) but I was so much healthier than I am now. SO MUCH HEALTHIER! Just from working out and fitting in the right combo of exercises.

She gets Blue Wilderness which is their grain-free, protein-rich version (allegedly). I've looked pretty closely at ingredients and reviews, so I know it's the best food I can afford for her at the moment. I still worry though because they're such a large company and manufacture at such a large scale. Honestly, I am…

I feed my love bug Blue Buffalo. No issues so far, knock on wood.

It is nice to be given acknowledgment for dressing well, especially considering how much harder I have to look in order to find non-dowdy clothes. I am so envious of friends who realize they need, e.g a new suit, and can just walk into H&M and snap one up. A friend of mine was talking about how she's good at bargain…

Hah. Yes!

I remember being in tears after a shopping session with friends in high school because as a size 14, it meant that I lurked while they tried on pretty clothes. They never wanted to go to Banana Republic or Gap with me (because those were the few mall stores that carried my size). It is SOO much easier now. I shop a…

Yep, total girly girl. Still loved the crap out of my Legos in addition to my Disney movie collection.

Hm. As a woman of color, am I supposed to stop fighting for women? Or stop fighting for other minorities?

My dog needs at least forty minutes a day (though during spring and summer, she'll demand longer walks). She's not destructive of property but will definitely poop in the house if her walk isn't long enough. I don't know why, it just seems to be her preferred form of revenge (I am aware she's not actually being…

I get personally insulted if anyone, other than her vet, tells me my dog is chubby (She isn't. Her vet always says her weight is fine). I am glad this is a former friend of yours.

Why couldn't he have just said that they broke up on bad terms or something like that? Why the thirty showers and never would have gotten with her insults? Ugh, they were together for years. It really makes him look like an asshole. Not that that's news etc— I would never talk about any of my exes in that way and I've…

I never wear button downs anymore. I am a law student so I am always dressed in business formal for clerkships and such but I always just wear nice silk blouses with my suits or just formal work dresses.
