I shower every 2-3 days unless I’ve had a hard workout/sweated a lot (or been in chlorine/at the beach). It usually takes 2-3 days to get stinky, and if I feel gross before that I will shower earlier, but my skin is delicate and dry and does not need soap and water every day. I have it on good authority I don’t stink.

Most derms will tell you that chemical exfoliation >>>>> physical exfoliation (for face, anyway). I use salicylic / glycolic face stuff, and for body, a hammam glove plus a palm brush for upper back where I can’t reach with the glove — and those both exfoliate approximately 10,000,000,000,000 x more effectively than a…

My dad has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, with a touch of Asperger’s (joy!). Life in my house, needless to say, was and is a fucking rollercoaster that you would need to experience to believe. I’m talking completely ridiculous shit. I have a younger brother and a younger sister, and while my brother and I don’t…

The sibling as living context is what I miss the most as an only child. My mom was pretty roundly awful to me as a teenager, by her own admission, but it would have been really great to have someone around to say, “Yeah, she really dug into you hard for no reason for about a decade there.” That said, I wouldn’t wish…

Also, my siblings are like permanent, built-in friends and they are the goddamn best. They can be great peers and allies—it’s so much more than just being childhood playmates.

Honestly, the only thing I hate about being an only child is knowing my parents will pass away one day and I’ll be left alone in the world to deal with it. It terrifies me.

I feel that this post was not taken in jest as it was meant to be, so let me be clear.

The only benefits to having more than one kid (my opinion):

All I know about only children is that it must really fucking suck to go on family vacation.

this is bad and stupid, and i’m not surprised jezebel isn’t framing it as such

I’m not an expert on the fashion industry (despite my many hours of watching Project Runway) but it’s probably not that easy to convince the people funding and distributing your line to let you manufacture tons of pieces in a huge range of sizes. For one, it’s additional production costs that they have to eat if the…

Yeah, I’m trying to hate, but really? This is par for the course in the world of fashion. Color me completely unshocked.

Short of having to tell your life story to every waitstaff you encounter, my opinion is just order well-done as you normally would. I think 9 times out of 10 you’re not going to be hassled for it. If for some reason they start pushing the “the chef insists it be rare/medium” then, if you’re comfortable, just say you…

Vote for Bernie. I don’t understand why everyone is just obliged to vote for this neo-con just because....well I don’t know why. Main stream media tells you she is the only one with a chance, I guess?

Deeds, like supporting DOMA and opposing gay marriage till it was moot at the federal level, mean even more than words. Even as young as he is, for most of his life Hillary has been opposed to him being treated equally by the government.

A strange definition of always that forgets when she was a Republican.

I suppose the difference there is that Bernie Sanders has been openly supporting gay rights since the 1970s, whereas Hillary only very recently came out in support of marriage equality, so it looks far more pandering coming from her than him.

Yes, our “First Black President” (pace Toni Morrison, who must have been in the throes of dementia, poor woman) is well-known for his sincerity and his “Honest Abe”-like inability to lie.
