I started doing yoga recently to help with stretching after work and dealing with my new commute (after walking to work for years, I now have a drive that can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour). I do it at home with free courses I found online. For me, it helps me wind down and just feels good.

Seconding to bring BCO back! I really miss it!!!

I really miss Behind Closed Ovens/Kitchenette and the community that came along with it. The stories and the comments were SO good and funny, it was a great way to start the week. I’m not sure where that column ended up or if it found a home.

I left OKC for the same reason. But since they’ve changed the messaging system, I’d honestly consider using it again.

I can’t believe cheeseburger egg rolls exist, and I’ve had some crazy food mashups at state fairs and festivals. Just looked it up — what an abomination!

Feeling old here!

Hooray!!! Thanks for the link!

Thanks collier! Your posts on this thread are always helpful, you really know your stuff! Do you have your own beauty blog?

Ah looks like it was Ulta’s mistake. I went to their website to check out the palette, and they made the typo in their description online. At least Cargo got that right!

Hooray! I love this thread, but it’so much temptation to spend money lol

Kiehl’s handcream is pricey, but it saved me when I lived in a dry climate with hard water. I like that it doesn’t have a smell, it’s thick and won’t budge, yet absorbs well. I even used it on my legs during winter time.

Naming an eyeshadow after Yakima is super random! Couldn’t they have picked an actual neighborhood in Seattle?

Hooray! Glad you tried some new products and found some things that you like!

I’m clearly super late to Beauty Thread, but I love these posts and this little community and wanted to catch up.

I noticed that too with Sephora. If there is something from Sephora that I want, I check to see if Nordstrom’s has it online and order from them instead, because their samples are really good.

I’ve mentioned before about wanting to try Latisse to grow my eyebrows back (I tried Revitabrow recently, but I’m not seeing much of a difference).

I was late to the make-up game myself, and I’d say start with lip color. It’s low commitment, and you don’t have to spend too much since there’s so many great brands out there.

You made that mirror? Wow!!! It’s really lovely.

He’s not even a brewer yet (you mentioned he wants to be one, at this time), and he’s this pretentious about beer? Yikes. If he were more open, he could have taken the opportunity to bring her to a fun beer hall/brewery for a flight or tasting on a future date. There’s nothing wrong with this woman ordering and liking…

Ugh. Two senior managers at my last job are the main reason why I and several other staff members left. They don’t have the leadership skills, maturity or emotional intelligence to be managers, and are horrible at it. One of the managers (who luckily I didn’t report to) had some staff members work on personal projects…
