Ginger Is A Construct

I anticipated (and practiced) a lot of conversations with hypothetical critics that have yet to happen. I’ve been having 1/2-1 glass of beer or wine on Fridays and Saturdays since entering the second trimester, and I’ve been drinking 1-2 cups of coffee a day. I based this on discussions with my partner, my doctors /

Congrats! Yes, as I approach 7 months pregnant what I miss most:

I’m working very hard on trying to quiet the internal guilt and anxiety voices. Being pregnant has been good training, as a reminder of how little we truly control. So yes, I have struggled with the guilts in the past, I know how strong that voice is!

I didn’t wait long at all because week 13-14 I was in Paris for a conference. Every other night I had a glass of rosé or a beer.

Truth. Cut off the split ends, deep condition weekly, find a style that works for your increasingly thinning hair!

Nah, the hair is much too healthy and real looking to be Kellyanne.

Yes, a match made in hell! You know they would constantly be reading eachother’s emails and DMs.

Congrats! Yep, other than 1/2 a beer after I ran my first marathon I didn’t drink in the first trimester. I started having my two glasses of beer a week in the 2nd trimester. I have TOTALLY lost my taste for liquor and most wines though. I suspect I have been craving Belgian beer because it is higher than most beers

I mean, is this not the logical next step for parents who have already inculcated their child into the panopticon via Elf on the Shelf?

Yep, American doctors just assume that you can’t tell women “a glass or three of wine a week is fine” without women hearing “I can do shots every night.” Meanwhile in France, Italy, Australia, etc. there are much more laid-back attitudes about pregnant women drinking because moderation is assumed. And there aren’t

We all know how litigious Trump is, you think Tom Arnold would mention such a video & the NDAs involved if it didn’t exist? What will be most revealing is if Trump doesn’t sue Arnold for libel. If Trump knows the tape is real he won’t want it coming to light at a deposition.

Hmmm.... I guess that makes sense. Am I in the minority? Do most people prefer volume to length when buying mascara?? I want stats!!

I’m sorry about your friend, and wish them a swift recovery. There was a post about the attack earlier this afternoon, around 3 or 4?

Fuck I loved mid-to late 90s Allure. I still have a subscription solely due to nostalgia, but honestly everything I loved about it died long ago.

Toner is a fucking scam, right?

Congrats on future lawyderdom, and for pulling that off while also working! I’m in the market for a lengthening mascara that is also waterproof. Also I have been a makeup wearer forever but I don’t totally know what makes “volumizing” mascara different. Is it more about width than length? Do I just not get it because

Good for you. But DAMN, so many people trust doctors so intensely, generally rightfully so, they’re experts! But I imagine that lulls a lot of people into taking more opiates and for longer than might be advisable. Every injury is different, everyone’s pain level is different, but doctors need to be upfront with

Word. I’m grateful that when I shattered my ankle in a fall my doctors did not prescribe oxy, they started with a low dose of pain killers, and they encouraged me to wean myself off as soon as I could. I’m also lucky, opioids make me nauseous so I don’t see the draw of recreational use. And once a doctor said that

Nothin to see here just the free market free marketing, right?
