Thank you SO much! It’s so great to hear from someone who’s happy with their choice to become an RD. You’re giving me hope that I’ll be able to find my way. Thank you thank you!

Spending my saturday night, and whole weekend really, studying microbiology and physiology. Hoping to apply to a Master’s in Nutrition/Dietetics soon. Any RD’s out there? I’m getting super depressed because all the RD’s I hear from (via internet forums, etc) seem to be unhappy, underpaid, or can’t find decent jobs.…

Recently went cold turkey after my libido took a nosedive (100% apathy towards sex for the last like, 6-8 months after years of using birth control and having a perfectly healthy sex drive). I’m pretty pleased with the results. I can get wet again! YES! My eyes don’t glaze over every time my bf tries to flirt with me!…

Ok, so I consider myself to be fairly careful with what goes on my skin. But I find it incredibly frustrating to follow the research and apply that to my purchase choices. None of the 'rating' resources I've found like EWG or goodguide seem to take %concentration into account, which seems silly to me (though…

I've done the gels, and I find that even the expensive ones end up drying up and getting crumbly/hard to apply long before I've used them fully. To each their own!

The secret to cat eyes is to wear glasses. No one can tell if the lines are straight! It's heaven. Also, liquid is the devil. Get a really nice creamy, pigmented black pencil with a sharpened tip. so much easier to control. Waterproof ones will last just as long as liquid generally, and you won't get that awkward…

Could someone explain to me why this is a huge deal? I think that my general assumptions that all politicians are pulling these kinds of sneaky moves is coloring my (lack of) reaction. Is this really so unheard of?

Running helped me with my body image issues....def still worry about my weight all the time though. But it's not as bad as in the past. I look at my thighs and it's not 100% about how they jiggle and wiggle and are really quite a bit bigger than I think they should be. Instead I'm like "blah my thighs are so…

I should note that I only read this jezebel article, not the original which I take has more info (at work, sorry).

I am.....not bothered? It feels a bit disrespectful to hear her story (which is presented clearly and rationally, she seems to be your average young adult) and assume that she's incapable of making the choice she's made because 'ewwwww gross'. We all have our issues and hang ups, but that doesn't mean that we aren't…

I'm firmly in camp 'put a ring on your bestie'. Not married, but I could see it happening down the road with the guy I'm with. We were good (though not best) friends for a little over two years, started hooking up, and have now been dating for a little over two years. We live together, have an amazing cat, it rocks.…

Confession time: My boyfriend once successfully 'slipped'. He's always been super into licking/fingering the bum, so I guess I was relaxed. Thing is, I know it was an accident because he literally did not notice what he had done. We were going on for like a couple of minutes with me being like 'ummm ok, have you done…

What do you all say if you are approached by some guy late at night/someone tries to talk to you when you feel uncomfortable? It doesn't happen much, but I usually say 'I'm sorry but it's late and I don't know you' while continuing to walk and keep a distance from the person. Would love other ideas though.

Religion isn't a contest. And I don't see how the Christians would get constant validation if the media and everyone followed this, which is what I'm suggesting. Every holiday gets mention on their own holiday, regardless of denomination, and if it's not a specific holiday then go generic.

Ok, my take on how to address holidays, REGARDLESS of your or anyone else's religion/beliefs/upbringing.

Question! My main reason to stick with the pill is to skip my period. Otherwise I would definitely get an implant.

Well, this made me feel better about refusing promotions in order to continue to dodge responsibility while making only enough money to fund my bad habits and festival tickets. Whew.

I work for a company that makes more natural bath/body, cleaning, baby, etc products so this kind of thing is something I am thinking about every day. I think it's definitely worth looking up your products on places like the EWG's skin-deep site, or Goodguide.com. There are also a lot of great recipes for making your…

yes, I am human last time I checked, haha. He gets back from a trip in the next couple of days and I'll try and see if I can work that conversation in.

true true. I just have to woman up and ask. Thanks!
