When visiting LA last week, I walked 1.3 miles to the Metro and took that downtown to meet a friend. When discussing my trip with some locals, they looked at me like I grew a second head then ate that head.

I know this is a totally reasonable solution, and I’m generally not the kind of person who cares too terribly much about fashion or how I’m perceived by others, but, for some reason, I’m very self conscious about wearing sneakers with business-ish clothing.
I don’t know if it’s the shape of my foot or the way that I walk, but I find those sock liner things always slip off my heel and roll under my foot filling me with irrational rage. Do you have a particular brand you would recommend?
I’m kind of between shoe sizes. In this style, would you recommend going a little bigger or a little smaller?
Recommendations requested. I’ve recently found myself in a corporate business/casual environment and am not well stocked shoe wise. My immediate concern is finding a closed-toe summer shoe that I can wear with dresses but without socks or stockings. I feel like the obvious answer is some kind of ballet flat, but…
I grew up middle class to upper middle class and felt essentially on par with my peers until college. After a lifetime in public schools I went to a private university with wealthy classmates. I was quite the rube. I thought boarding schools were for juvenile delinquents and debutante balls and sororities were…
I’d like in on Queen Latifah’s skin care regime. She’s almost 47, and, as far as I can tell, the only thing they did to make her look like a graduate in the flashback sequence was change her hair. She has looked exactly the same for the past 30 years.
I was. In restrospect, I cringe at the cultural insensitivity, but I still love that it was a father daughter organization where all the dads participated not just one den leader and the activities weren’t “girly”.
You were in the Y-Indian Guides. They also had Y-Indian Princesses. You would wear a felt headband and (earn?) feathers for it. You would definitely earn beads, teeth and claws for you necklace. In a lot of ways it was an awesome program: father/child, lots of camping, canoing and the like, even with the princesses.…
For real though, Zaxby’s food is really salty. Their buffalo chicken will make your kidneys shut down.
I’ve been known to go through the entire works of Jane Austen when I need an everything is going to work out ok, nobody will get raped or descend into a nightmarish spiral of addiction or mental illness, body of literature. As long as your ok with the marriage plot and cousin on cousin romance.
Don’t get me wrong fatigue is SUPER NORMAL in pregnancy, but that little parasite can also throw a lot of your normal chemistry off so it’s definitely worth talking about with your doctor.
That bone weary fatigue is a REAL drag. For many, it passes later in pregnancy. The second trimester should be much better. One thing your doctor will probably check as a matter of course is your iron levels. It’s not uncommon to get a little anemic during pregnancy which can contribute to fatigue.
On the advice of a friend, with lovely skin, I have been using coconut oil and baking soda (about 2/3 oil to 1/3 soda) to wash my face. My skin feels soft and clean, but I’m concerned that my fine lines are looking more apparent. Previously, I was not exfoliating and now the baking soda means I’m exfoliating daily.…
So I watched the first couple episodes of “American Housewife” and saw “Bad Moms” as well. I’ve also read many many many articles and think pieces on the “Mommy Wars.” I’m really not a fan of these narratives because I think it propagates the idea that women are super unsupportive and judgmental of each other. How…
Any reference to women as “females” triggers a (rebuttable) presumption of sexism.
I drink pretty rarely so it’s not a big lifestyle issue, but it adds to the disappointment because a cocktail is kind of a special occasion treat. Not drinking very often might actually be part of the reason I don’t process it very well.
I don’t think I’m actually dehydrated, drinking alcohol just mimics what dehydration feels like.
Ideas needed. So my body has recently betrayed me and decided that it’s done with most alcoholic beverages and is bound and determined to drag me along with its decision. If I drink wine, beer, colored alcohol, sweetened cocktails, etc., I get an insta-hangover, i.e. pounding headache and feelings of dehydration. The…
