I also grew up in this area, and I’ve seen and known so many people who were/still are addicted to heroin. It’s never been worse than it is now, but it seems like a lot of people I know were using prescription pain meds and then switched over to heroin because it was easier to get and less expensive. I think people…

I never knew I needed a studded cape until right now, but I totally do.

I loved Rabid! It was so interesting and I powered right through it. I am starting to try to read more books like it after having spent about a year reading mostly American history and non-fiction about murder in the Victorian era. I just bought The American Plague and Asleep by Molly Caldwell Crosby. I’ve also been…

I have no idea if someone already recommended this because Kinja has either changed or is acting weird right now, but Brandi Morgan Kirchgessner, who did the beauty box reviews on Millihelen, has moved over to her own blog, beautyboxreview.com. She is trying to build up a community over there like the one on…

I have always thought of exclamation points, in both texts and any kind of writing, to seem insincere. Maybe it’s just me and I am a huge grump, but is anyone ever that super excited about most of the things they add exclamation points to in texts? I only add them when other people add them first and I feel like I…

Deja Entendu was my absolute favorite album sophomore year of high school as well. I really fell into a Spotify high school emo hole this year.

I can’t wait to read more on your new site! I already commented on your Birchbox article as soon as I saw on Facebook that it was up. Although I will miss Millihelen, I am really excited to see reviews spread out because reading about what other people get is always so fun and your beauty box reviews made me go from…

There is a guided meditation called Sleep Easily by Shazzie that I really like. The shorter, 26ish minute version is free. Part of the meditation is about realizing that you are safe and always will be, which is very calming for me to hear even if I wouldn’t believe that at all normally. I also use a soothing sleep…

Thanks for the tips! I was using the brush at a sort of mid to total extension, so I will have to try using it at its shortest. I also have a mascara primer sample so I will try that out with it too. I am going to go check out those swatches, I think the Saints range sounds just like what I have been looking for in a…

I have a love/hate relationship with my twin sister. My family likes to say that she is the type of person that wants every relationship on her terms. Sometimes we get along wonderfully and it feels like we are really close and the best of friends, then I won’t hear from her for weeks- no responding to my texts, never…

I have the Too Cool for School mascara and although I love the adjustable brush and the packaging, I cannot figure out how to use it and not make my eyes look spidery. Do I only use one coat because it is a tubing mascara? Also, how do you like Lipstick Queen lipsticks? I see the brand on offer on Birchbox and the…

I love the Urban Decay eyeliner in both zero (the regular black color) and Oil Slick (black glitter). It goes on really easily and stays on a long time. I like to line my upper eyelid, including the waterline, and it stays on. I haven’t used the Marc Jacobs eyeliner, so I can’t compare the two, but I absolutely…

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Are you wearing the lipstick in the picture, because either it or your natural lip color is fabulous and I want to buy the same one. I also love the hairstyle you have with that cute headband! I can’t recommend adult coloring books enough, I find them really calming and focusing.

My first thought too! My second thought was, do the rest of the characters spend half the book (soon to be show) trying to find a cassette player to play the damn things on?

I can’t believe I missed this post this month since it is my favorite and I missed it last month too! I am going to comment anyway, since I get three of the boxes reviewed and absolutely loved two of them this month, Amor Naturals (my first month getting it) and Petit Vour. I liked Glossybox in theory, since I like…

Oh my goodness I know Ronald Lee Fleming in a professional capacity and this is absolutely something I would expect.

Thank you. That is quite the cake, I hope the little horses moved like a real carousel. I bet they did.

His perfectly square hairline in the video is freaking me out for some reason. Her hair/makeup is flawless though. Now I need to see a picture of this cake.

I just bought the oxfords. I have never bought anything from Madewell before and never realized their stuff was so expensive when it isn’t on sale. I also could not figure out the difference between 8 and 8h, so I went with the 8. I am a total shoe addict and I could not resist the deal on such cute shoes.

I can’t stand getting the perfume samples in my Birchbox either. I have really liked Glossybox the last two months that I’ve gotten it, although others haven’t. I think that Petit Vour could be good if you are more interested in skincare than anything else. I am really tempted to get the box with the masks, but I…
