Oh HELL no. Girl, you’ve got options.

Mostly I’m mystified as to why these jeans are being called “acid wash.” Girl I was a teen in the 80s and I LIVED THAT SHIT. Those are just plain ol’ light wash. Acid wash is a whole other [much more hideous] thing.

*I* am a size twelve, and if I looked like that in that fucking red dress I swear to christ I’d weep tears of joy every time I looked in a mirror. As it is, I’ll just over here reconsidering both the validity of waist-trainers and my own heterosexuality.

<<<333!

The pH of baking soda is quite far outside the range of what your skin (and its delicate acid mantle) can comfortably handle. Instead : caster’s sugar (finer and smaller than granulated table sugar) or brown sugar (higher water content). Also noteworthy : sugar’s crystalline form is a flattened oblong shape, and…

I did ipsy for a couple months, and also I think Birchbox? And zzzzzzzz. Pretty much every single thing I got, I gave away. Nah.

[raises hand]

Eastern Shore here (Fairhope); can also confirm. Zzzzzz.

Aerosoles are actually Not Horrible, and quite a lot of them really are pretty comfy. The problem is that a lot of their styling is inconsistent (are they a Coolish Trendyish brand for Youngish people? or are they Semi Frumpy Old Lady Shoes? because their styles cover that whole gamut). Plus, “Aerosoles” as a brand…

It’s always worse on my cheeks and on the sides of my chin / under the corners of my mouth. SO. EFFING. IRRITATING. :(

As your name would suggest! Also Cthulhu is OBVS a super-badass contender. I mean DUH. Princess shit can get the fuck out and then die in a fire.

My skin was never fabulous (I’ve  had breakouts my whole life, but I never had like Hideous Dire Cystic Acne as a teen or anything), but at age FORTY-EFFING-THREE it went absolutely nuts. So, yeah, a hormonal shift of some sort, no doubt. Azelaic acid is my very good friend now. (I also currently have an almost-healed…

Agree. I mean it’s one thing to eschew “blush” and do a neutral shade low on the cheeks for some definition when you don’t want color there because you’re going to be doing bright eyemakeup etc? But full-face contour alllllways looks weird as hell to me in person...

Get one of these, hang it in the shower, use it a couple times a week. Like ten seconds with the rough side then ten seconds with the smoother side on each foot, lotion + socks, and your feet will never be gnarly again. I’ve had mine for ... over eight years? And it’s still basically good as new. Best six bucks you’ve…

I go to bars all the time! (Well, one particular bar and sometimes another one but they’ve had ultra shitty music the last like five months.) By myself even! And I meet people! I met a boy! He’s at my house right now! We’re both 45! DON’T DESPAIR. Just find a place (or two, or three) that you like and feel comfortable…

Omg evvvvverything matched. Coat sweater blouse trousers suit-skirt tights stirrup-pants headband clutch camisole pumps ankle-booties EVERYTHING. In high-fashion seasonal colors! Which was inevitably pastels in spring and “jewel tones” (plus mustard) in fall. It was AMAZING.

Personally I always prefer the matching pleated trousers + mock turtleneck + belt + pumps + ginormous shoulder-pad duster coat. Ideally in lilac, but I’ll accept butter or mint.

I mean, oversized shirts with shoulder pads do me no favors, but everything else? BRING IT. Bright makeup and neon and large crazy hair and ankle boots, yes please.

I was all like “oh wow someone found an old Spiegel catalog; I bet every item in all those pics comes in dyed-to-match pastel shades.”

Too Cool For School’s Dinoplatz Escalator. It’s LIFE-CHANGING. It’s also like sixteen bucks on eBay (if you’re willing to wait ~10 days for shipping from SK) or $19 on Amazon. It’s BIG, it’s LONG, it adds CURL, and it does not smudge or flake ever — and I mean not ever, and not even on my oily sweaty skin. Yet it…
