“There are many copies... and they have a plan.”

Whenever I see one of those sinister and unnatural blue-white smiles out in the wild, I swear I can hear the Battlestar Galactica version of All Along the Watchtower humming background, sounding the Cylon alarm.

Right. I mean, if you’re happy with your routine and your skin, okay, I guess? But I feel like a simplified k-beauty routine would serve much better, and probably be better for the skin in the long run. I’m concerned if you’re doing those Biore strips more than once a week or so. Even that’s probably pushing it a bit.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it but I didn’t love the tweet. Tyler Perry could have extended the invitation privately; this way it feels like it’s done for praise. It’s great that he offered the guy a job, but if it was only because he was working at a store, aren’t plenty of actors? And if it’s because he likes…

Look, it’s not that hard. All you need to do is lift weights six days a week, stop drinking alcohol, don’t eat anything after 7pm, don’t eat any carbs or sugar at all, in fact just don’t eat anything you like, get the personal trainer from Magic Mike, sleep nine hours a night, run three miles a day, and have a…

Yup. Vaseline is not comedogenic and works wonders.

Ooh boy gonna check out your blog. And take it easy on the unpacking. I am cheersing to you. Thanks for making my day brighter and more hospitable and possibly making my skin better xo

Yeah mine is mild to moderate too, depending on stress, depending on food...My face is usually fairly clear but I always have some on my back and upper arms and chest, and that is what kills me. I feel so self-conscious and never wear a tank-top or anything backless. Curiously enough, when I was pregnant it all…

Thank you so so so so so much for taking the time to write all this!  I love all the tips and will look into all of this.  For the Melazepam, do you cover your whole face with it or is it a spot treatment?  I can’t wait to try these, thank you thank you thank you!!!

Cornstarch/rice flour feel gunky to me, which is why I tried baking soda (which I use to clean all sorts of things). I don’t fluff in much and it rinses out easily with water. My hair feels clean, but not overly frizzy (unlike with shampoos). I can’t tolerate the lauryl/laureth stuff at all, it wrecks my skin and…

Not gonna lie, I do love my job. I am grotesquely underpaid for what I do but I would rather work for a company I love with people I love doing stuff that I love than get paid double for enduring corporate hell.

Omg are you a chemist?! I am so impressed with your knowledge! How do you know what has long chain molecules and what doesn’t??? I feel you though on all the hardship and the biggest myth of all is that we’ll grow out of it after we’re teenagers. I was unprepared for a lifetime of this shit.

How did you figure out it was the stearic acid etc. that was causing the acne?  Did you get that diagnosed by a dermatologist or just trial and error on your part?  Ugh I feel like I’m so bad at figuring out cause and effect stuff on my body...

And here I thought cranberries floated.

I’ve never had problems with my skin (no pimples, no dryness, no uneven tone, no seasonal changes save for an extra boost of dewiness in the humid Australian summer, which a lot of people loathe but I fucking live for) but I cannot stand the feeling of heavy moisturizers. Serums all the way. As for shampoo, I was my…

I was once like you. I couldn’t even get on board with Jezebel’s Favorite Chris (Pine) wearing a mustache in Hell or High Water, no matter how good the movie.

Shitting on a job at Trader Joe’s is an epic case of classicism. To us lowly small business owners and everyday workers, TJ’s pays very well, has a fantastic record for employee satisfaction, and it offers some of the most complete employee healthcare packages with a focuse on ethical business practices..... soooo,…

Yale gear AND his TJ’s name tag. I love him.
