Seriously... why where the kids even at school with a tornado warning pending?

Oh no, they don't. But I was referring to the use and abuse of asian au pairs in my area. Sorry for the confusion.

I have seen a lot of families in my area underpay and overuse asian au pairs. I think au pair agencies do a lot of temporary work visas with south-asian countries for young girls to come over.

I don't think brad pitt and angelina have 900 nannies, maybe 2.. They seem to be pretty hands on. And I know families who have live in nannies with just one or even two kids- and they aren't necessarily rich. They have room in their house and 1500 to shell out to asian au pairs.

I guess it is a sweet gesture but sort of inappropriate. I would be incredibly uncomfortable taking that amount of money from a stranger. And I question why someone would be that largesse with a stranger. I could understand a normal customer chipping in like a 100 dollars. But 1,000? Egh. I don't know.

I have seen these in a few stores and they are marketed and made for children. They aren't called tepees (I have seen them called forts, actually) or have any traditional markings on them. I have seen a few for little girls and they have flowers or princesses on them. I think calling it cultural misappropriation is a

Have you tried like an elephant grey or greyish green or blue as a background? You could paint a piece of plywood and then photograph the items on it. I think a nice darker neutral- like a dark beige, grey, slate, grey green or grey blue, would make your pieces pop. Even in this photo you just posted there seems to be

Ulta's NYX brand has some really decent creame blushes in like 10-15 shades. I go with one with an orangey undertone. Plus I think they are only like 6 bucks a pop.

Hi, I hope you aren't offended by unsolicated advice. I took a look at your store and the photos for the products aren't staged very well and aren't very appealing visually. I really think if you invested in staging and photography of your items... they would sell faster. It seems to be too much white.

I don't get the Fitch hatred. It is like a brand for middle and high schoolers. I don't have the expectation of any tween/teen brand to have clothes that would fit a chubby 50 year old man.

You know, I think wearing condoms and all the fluids that comes with that is pretty disgusting. Just having fluids finished off in you and doing a quick wipe in the bathroom and changing underwear after sex is a bit less disgusting.

I don't think it is a rumor. Different things turn on people differently. I think that most men are visual. But like my husband, he isn't turned on by porn at all. If there isn't bare skin to skin contact and making out, it is hard for him to get turned on.

Some men are not super turned on visually by breasts or vaginas or butts. My husband doesn't start getting super turned on by the sight of my vagina. He is more about touch... he gets turned on when there is grinding and lots of touch and affection. I totally agree if a guy is super disgusted by your vagina you should

I am a size 4-6 pre-pregnancy and even at that size, I found some of the modcloth "home" brands to fit incredibly small and short where I have to wear a L or XL for a good fit. It is almost like junior sizing.

Mason jars are like 10 dollars for a dozen-depending on what size you use. And they are super easy to turn into soap dispensers or mugs or whatever... I don't understand paying so much for something you can do yourself so easily and cheaply.

Most of this has to do because developing countries do not have the infrastructure to have labor laws and safety laws, like OSHA. They need to develop an economy first with markets and then OSHA type laws will come into place. See China. Unfortunately, people in current Bangladesh are the ones suffering and 20 years

I'd pay 20 bucks for a delicious roasted vegetable plate, perfectly seasoned. They used to have those at Nordstrom's Cafe and I could not get enough of them.

Eh.. I think you are fine to eat a small snack on the metro. I have never gotten caught in 12 years of metro riding. A whole pizza? Chinese takeout? Not so much. Just get little almond packs and keep them in your purse and I doubt anyone will say anything to you about that.

Or maybe the friend has a real spending/debt problem and buys outrageous gifts for everyone on credit because it makes her feel temporarily better to go shopping.
