It’s bad because it’s not cutesy enough for kindergardeners, I guess.
I think historians for a time (and maybe still) used the phrase “AmerIndian” to refer to Native Americans. My 10th grade history teacher was the kind of teacher who should’ve been a college professor (he made us read these way-over-our-heads academic history texts) and he used that sometimes.
Seriously. For me, it was a lot of hearing my mom talk negatively about herself, but also some amount of kind of competitiveness about our bodies, too? I obviously understand parents wanting their kids to be healthy and encouraging healthy eating and exercise, but it doesn’t have to be about weight or looks! I’m glad…
Also, don’t give comparative compliments that imply that someone didn’t look nice previously.
I’ve never really gone through too much problematic eating, but I have a pretty low body/face self esteem. I have pretty much always been slim but when people dote over my weight I feel so uncomfortable, especially when they use my body to complain about their own (my boyfriend’s mom does this). I don’t know how to…
How do I sign up for a job as a bunny handler?
That’s way harder, IMO. I think the last time the bf and I phone sexed was many years ago and I just started laughing because I have no self esteem and couldn’t believe anything he was saying about me being attractive.
Good luck.
Ugh this is the worst phone/text sexing question. I guess you’re supposed to say “nothing” but I was always in my frumpy pajamas and am a terrible liar.
I think the Ellen one was a joke that Ellen made (like these).
New Romantics should’ve gotten the single treatment, IMO.
I said “wut?” aloud when I read that bit.
Yep, I’ve seen a lot about coconut oil as a “natural sunscreen”. Even if it were effective, thee SPF is so low.
Right right, I didn’t mean to imply you were trying to sell something! I guess I just meant that “science” can be an easy trap to fall into, just like “natural” can, for the average consumer. I’ve been trying to find cruelty free and vegan products for ethical reasons and so many of them are the more “natural” brands…
Because I didn’t see your other posts, it seemed like you were implying that everyone should just understand these things. I’ve definitely seen what I would consider shitty, questionable products swilled as science-based (e.g. Nerium).
I really like Beautypedia because I figure that if something run by one company is recommending a product from another company, it’s probably a legit recommendation.
“Science-based skincare” sounds just as BS-y as “natural skincare”. As a non-scientist, I don’t know if I can trust a company that is trying to sell me something using “science”. I don’t know how skincare products work, I don’t know that “pretty white lotions” have to have emulsifiers (???) as someone else in the…
Hahahaha as someone who has been to plenty of local government council meetings, it’s not just the female members who fail to read the packets in favor of asking questions.
Yeah, for sure. But the overhead LED lights of Sephora seem especially unhelpful. Now I understand the fine art of asking for samples there though.
