I recently switched to a menstrual cup and my boyfriend knows all about it, and even asked me how I liked it after the first month of use. He also doesn’t care if we have period sex (good cause we always do) and he has bought me tampons on occasion. If I couldn’t talk about period stuff with my boyfriend I think I…

I really recommend reading The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker. The only way to de-escalate the situation, according to the author, is to completely ignore him. The author also goes into a lot of stats about how ineffectual restraining orders actually are. Another Jez commenter recommended the book and I found a copy…

The old standby. “Shark Week.”

I love the fact that Zooey decided to wear flats instead of heels!

I absolutely am 100% in love with all the ridiculous hair ornaments and drapey chained earrings and ear toppers. Can we make this a mainstream thing? I want to always look like I woke up in a pile of clock parts and granny jewelry.

Or churning butter?

Plus I thought the skit for Ew with Ariana Grande was cute because you could tell that they both were trying so hard not to laugh!

Those sound AWESOME. There have been quite a few badass needlepoint samplers on Etsy lately. My favorite one says “THIS IS A GODDAMN HEIRLOOM.”

My mom has this poster in her kitchen!

I have a friend with a script for flexiril (muscle relaxer) and I have taken half of one on the first day of period with so much success. I wish I could convince my Dr that advil just doesn’t cut it . Her recommendation was to take 800mg twice a day for 3 days before period and during. It helps a little but I still…

Thanks I can’t wait!!!

Oo please share!

Yeah I’m dealing with a roof issue / insurance bs right now. Nice to know I can have enough to cover the deductible without messing up my budget.

I interpreted it as drinking ONE of the beers in there...but that still would involve chugging to some extent. Jeez.

I do a similar trick with an online-only savings account. I transfer money into it out of each check (this was easier when I had a Real Job and could direct deposit, but now I do freelance). To get the money back out, I have to transfer it to my main bank account and wait 2-3 business days. Therefore it is only used…

Yeah I don’t even understand the physics of how it’s possible not to break your ankle in those shoes! I would be walking barefoot in about 2 minutes, trying to hide my toes under my dress.

I guess I don’t understand how being a celebrity works, I would think Laverne is famous enough that a designer would send her some shoes in the right size, or her stylist would find some? Isn’t that the point of being a celebrity (great shoes?) Maybe it has more to do with the fact that there is no support in those…

I think on America’s NextTop Model they called it ‘monkey foot’? [[Why do I know this....]]

I will love Laverne for 100 million years and this dress is my favorite thing I’ve seen today.....but what is up with her shoe? Too big and foot slipped forward? Too small?

I like the Ask a Manager blog if you’re into advice columns. I learned a lot of good stuff about resumes and cover letters from her. Good luck!!
