The fact that you’re comparing the wage gap to a female celebrity’s sex life (that is frankly none of your business) speaks volumes about your own misogynist views of women.

I really hope I can get out of the greys eventually, because this article came at just the right time. I’m not so concerned about religion, because I’m very vocal about my atheism which wards off any bible thumpers.

I put away $50 a month specifically for Xmas. Thankfully, I have a small family. I’m also fond of doing mason jar gifts for friends: I’ve done cookie mixes and mani/pedi kits. But my favorite tip for holiday saving is go to Dollar Tree. Nobody gives a crap how fancy their Xmas card or wrapping is, because they’re just

+1 for Tattoo liner! It is the best liner I have ever used! Super saturated, stays put, and easy to apply. I love the brush tip!

Time is money, which is why I get my groceries delivered. It’s also worth the $7 fee, because I’m not making impulse purchases and shopping when I’m hungry.

I’m 5’7’’ and my last boyfriend was 5’5’’. I’ll admit that it was strange at first, but he had an amazing personality, a killer body, and no complex to speak of. Loved when I wore heels. As long as they don’t police my attire and have a giant chip on their shoulder, height is not a deal breaker for me.

Since content marketing is, essentially, marketing a business through “content,” (which is icky enough of a word that it should put you off), if you see this on a job description or hear it in an interview as part of the job you’re applying for, you should be as diligent asking about this job as you would be if

Exactly. And if I need to save millions of dollars to retire early, then that’s what I’ll do. People who blow their money because YOLO are going to be working a loooonnnnnnggggg time.

Not everyone in such a position came from wealthy parents. I’m 25, make six figures, have a full emergency fund and no debt. My parents are working class, and I took out student loans. I just lived well below my means, paid off my debt in a year, and banked every raise I got rather than inflate my lifestyle—oh, and I

Haha true! I’m already planning a trip this spring :)

I’m already debt-free, have my emergency fund, and contribute 15% to retirement, so here are my goals:

As a Californian, I have been to Vegas 6 times and have partied at least a dozen nightclubs on the Strip: XS, Marquee, Haze, Hakkasan, Tao, Pure, Tryst, LAX, Chateau, The Bank, Surrender, and Rok (now closed). XS and Marquee are easily my favorite spots.

Jezebel reader popping in to say that this mantra is also the perfect definition of enthusiastic consent :)

I was recently laid off in April, but I was fortunate to have a safety net: 3 months worth of expenses and a nice-sized professional network in a demanding industry in a big metropolitan area. I filed for unemployment and health insurance, and the fire under my ass motivated me to treat finding a job like a full-time

Same! Not interested in going back, but I just look at the haters and say, “Never lived there? No opinion!”

Now playing

Anyone grow up in a crappy hometown and leave, but still feel oddly defensive when outsiders rag on it? I just saw this movie trailer for “Addicted to Fresno,” a dark comedy starring Judy Greer and Natasha Lyonne. I was born and raised in Fresno, and I have no problem insulting it with my friends, but it’s a kneejerk

When I was in grad school for my Master’s in Mass Comm, one of my professors told me, “It’s not who you know. It’s who knows YOU.” She stressed personal branding by being active on social media and starting your own blog. I followed her advice, and it has helped me immensely. I got my first job out of school because

Japan is a blast! A few years ago I stayed there for two weeks in June with my friend who taught English in Tokyo. Yes, it’s very humid and not worth putting a face of makeup on. I would stress, however, that you take an online Japanese course before you go. Just because people study English in school, that doesn’t

Here’s how I gained an approx. 50% increase in pay: I had recently been promoted to a managerial position but was told that my raise wouldn’t be instated until several months later when it was time for performance reviews. Meanwhile, another company was trying to poach me. While their offer was significantly more than

Well, if you’re ever open to meeting a Jezzie IRL and want to grab a drink on the boring side of the bay after work, let me know! :)
