I was lucky enough to take a Women's Lit class in college taught by Sandra Gilbert, who co-edited the Norton Anthology of Women's Literature. It was our main source during the class, and while the writings started very early (middle ages), the first piece of writing that hit me over the head was Sojourner Truth's…

I need these often to keep me sane.

This is exactly how I was. I have never been a kid person, didn't really care one way or the other, wasn't thinking about it. I think I could have had a great life without children, but being a mom has been, of course, life changing in a lot of amazing ways. I like to think that there are many people who could really…

More women are possibly opting out because there are so many "progressive" men who still look at childcare through the lens of the 50's. What's interesting to me is the fear about autonomy. Sure, you won't have as much when you have a kid, but if you have a supportive partner, you CAN read the paper in silence on a…

You get them wet (they puff up with water) and squeeze the excess water out. You're supposed to dab/bounce the foundation on your skin, I just kind of tap around my face. I don't even care if it makes a difference because it feels sooooooooo good.

Nope. Never.

I love this scene so so soooooo much. Also, me too.

Polley is awesome, but nothing can touch the 90's version. It's my go-to comfort movie. It's like the mashed potatoes of movies. And Danes as Beth just....slays me. Every. Fucking. Time.

Yeah, I hope I don't sound like I am dumping on her because she's exceedingly generous. I never ask for anything, of course, but her partner (who is Italian) is obsessed with shoes and is always wanting to buy me shoes. And I BEGRUDGINGLY let him :-) In a way I think it's pretty damn hard to remain in touch with the…

OMG it feels sooooooo good. And I love how it gets all bulbous but not thick with water (my son is fascinated with this thing, he loves playing with my usual cheap sponges, and it's pink...his favorite color!) and it's so cool on the skin. And, most importantly, because I use expensive tinted moisturizer, I have to…

I was going to say, it seems counterintuitive but oils are the SHIT. Not so sure about coconut oil, but I have one from REN that I love.

I have always had dark circles—when I was around 22 and living in London, I was in Harrods poking around the makeup section and a guy at the YSL counter was like "oh honey, let me help you." They're actually not that bad, I must have been exceptionally tired.

The lone dissenter! ;-)

I would have revolted and never come back.

Fact: The Lonely Goatherd is the best song from TSOM.

This depends on your industry, I think. I am not necessarily my company, but I am my brand. In my line of work (art director) I don't want to work for a company selling product I wouldn't buy myself. So, I'm a customer. I'm lucky in that I love my job and my manager, the Company is also good, but I don't have any…

Pretty much. My aunt, who is sweet and generous and lovely, is filthy rich and SO OUT OF TOUCH. My mother has worked for a grocery store for 30+ years, but still managed to put my dad through college to get his PhD (just had to give my mom some snaps) and my aunt (her SIL) will drink a bottle of wine, call my parents,…

This is a golden rule. She's a fucking piece of work, that one.

George4Lyfe. My 4-year-old and I have The While Album and Kind of Blue on heavy rotation at dinner time—I don't get the "don't expect youngins to know The Beatles" or other older bands nonsense. They're THE BEATLES. They are classic, these are the basics.
