+1 for Estee Lauder! I wear the Double Wear Light because its formula is more suited for daytime, and it blends perfectly into my super-pale skin. I’m also very oily and it keeps me matte all day long.

I’d like to see a discussion about dating/marrying someone of a different economic class. I was raised by middle-class parents: mom was a former teacher and dad was in construction sales. All of my grandparents died broke, and I worry about my parents’ ability to support themselves as they age.

I’m also on the YNAB or GTFO bandwagon—love, love, LOVE that app for budgeting.

This is the exact strategy I used on my boyfriend, and it was a great success! 10/10

That was my pick as well! Such a snooze-fest.

Ridley Scott struck out twice by trying to bank on eye candy Orlando Bloom, because I consider “Kingdom of Heaven” one of the worst movies ever made. Not even my teenage thirst could keep me from falling asleep during that one.

I’m thankful that I got an early financial headstart, but I wish someone would have taught me how to budget, and especially how to budget for irregular expenses, like auto insurance and Christmas gifts.

It’s an incredibly time-consuming dish, which is why it costs $30 per tray at Armenian delis, but good luck!

Yesterday was Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, so I feel compelled to add an Armenian dish that you can get in Fresno, CA, and other cities with large Armenian populations. It’s called souboreg, and I refer to it as Armenian lasagna.

Seconded! I actually prefer the Double Wear Light version. Stays on all day and is great for my oily skin.

Sanger Jezzie right here! Chris Colfer was my rival in speech & debate, and although the dude beat me by just a few points in the valley championship, I give him major props for dealing with the homophobic bullshit living in the Bible Belt of CA. Wishing Beatty the best too!

I make monthly donations to PP, my hometown’s no-kill animal shelter, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation. If you care at all about the separation between church and state, they do wonderful work. They’re also among the top 3% of charities with a 6th consecutive 4-star rating from Charity Navigator. http://ffrf.or

Awesome! Outlander is one of the best (and might I add, sexiest) shows on TV today, so I’ll definitely be considering this service.

There’s nothing wrong with asking dates what outdoor/physical activities they enjoy to determine mutual interests. In my case, when I replied that I prefer reading and writing to exercising, the guy actually had the nerve to say that I should care about fitness more because I’m not always going to look the way I do

True, it’s good to have a dinner option nearby. And that’s why I insist on messaging over a few days, then a phone date before meeting in person. I’ve certainly had “lemons” myself, but those are few and far between. I’m in marketing, so it’s all about the qualification process! :)

Theoretically, a casual date sounds like a good idea, but the stats aren’t in your favor. According to Match, “you’re 107% less likely to get a 2nd date if you skip dinner and drinks:” http://www.singlesinamerica.com/

Heard it from Dan Savage! Love reading his weekly column!

Much like “affluenza,” mansplaining is a curse among white Silicon Valley tech bros. Oh yes, please invalidate my opinion as you try to educate me about sexism in my industry. Go ahead, it’s not like I have first-hand experience or anything.

Funny how those men are the same ones who never seem to care about their own manscaping!
