Thank you, honestly though I feel like I just got lucky in a lot of ways.

What part of the country were you in? That can make a huge difference. I’ve been very poor twice - both times I was in areas of the country where there were very few jobs available (once in Appalachia, once in central Michigan). And I don’t mean that there were few “good” jobs that I wanted to work, I mean there were…

We never did the ramen thing, it was usually eggs, spaghetti, dollar menu or frozen pizza. Gotta have those eggs, that’s your protein. Thankfully I worked food service part of the time, and at a grocery store the rest of the time. My manager would let me take home damaged food and when I was washing dishes I’d get a…

I want JLo’s glasses! I think they’re working for her.

I can’t watch the video (at work) so I didn’t mean this specifically, just in general I think it’s worth thinking about what exactly we’re finding so funny about it.

Don’t know if I agree, but starred because I think it is worthwhile to think about why men in dresses get a laugh. I think it often boils down to - he’s doing it (femininity) “wrong”, and that’s funny. So yes, I can see how that’s harmful.

Aw, kids are jerks :(

I remember the first time my boyfriend saw a pair of stained underwear in the clean laundry. He was like “Ew, these aren’t clean, how did they get in there?” I had to explain the facts of life.

Eh, what else would you do with them, though? Other than keep them for future bloody days. It’s not like stained underwear can be used to generate electricity or feed people or anything. I wouldn’t sweat it.

LOL, ain’t that the truth.

20 tops. Plus another 10 that are either too small, full of holes, or so stained I don’t even want to look at them. My boyfriend jokes that my vagina “eats” underwear. The curse of irregular periods. It’s either wear panty liners every day or accept that there will be a certain number of casualties every year.

I got a hell of an infection on my face last year from an acne cyst that never broke the surface. I had to go to the ER!

To get around that I do my oil treatment only 1-2 times a week. Usually I do it Saturday or Sunday mornings because that way if it’s not all rinsed clean, I’m generally just doing casual things so it doesn’t matter. If I’m doing it during the week I have to do it at night, that way I can shampoo in the morning and…

Haven’t tried that one but I bet it’s awesome. Everything they make smells so good that even if you don’t get results you still feel like you got your money’s worth in pampering.

Lol, I had that same realization about the sugar scrub after my second time purchasing it. That’s the thing with Lush, if you have the time and patience you could actually make a passable version of most of their products on your own. I used to use all-Lush everything but after about a year and a half of that I had to…

Chicken cooked low and slow can be cooked to temp but still be pink. Truth. I tried a recipe recently that did this. It was cooked to temp but I still couldn’t make myself eat it just because I have that pink=dangerous thing too deep in my head. Boyfriend said it was delicious though and he did not get sick.

For scarring, do you use any old honey or does it have to be something special (like raw honey, local honey, etc)?

Wait, now that I think about it I know something that works. I don’t have to believe in it, it just works :)

I know, right? Just looking at his creepy face makes me want to vomit. Ugh.

Lush fresh face masks. I don’t think I’ve ever seen actual post-mask results with them, but I want to believe!
