God, thank you for mentioning Cotillion. Freddy Standen is like, one of my all-time favorite romance heroes. I’ve searched high and low for more historicals with heroes like Freddy, with no luck. Julia Quinn writes less alpha guys sometimes, but none of them are quite as goofy and hilarious as Freddy.

I’m bringing back “taking liberties” if it’s the last thing I do

YES. I’d rather watch twice as many commercials as long as they are DIFFERENT ONES, MY GOD

Agree, full eye makeup seems way more iffy during the daytime. I wear NARS Schiap or Red Square almost every day! I definitely don’t feel “evening.”

At least Arkansas’ current governor has a pretty cool son.

Hair. Anything besides a) down; b) ponytail; c) messy bun. I can watch youtube tutorials until I die, I will still never understand how anyone can do their own hair without being an octopus.

I wish my friends and family were all wealthy enough that I could instruct all the guests at my wedding to wear white. The women wouldn’t be much of a problem, but I don’t see me getting Uncle Scotty to throw down for a white suit.

Paprika is pretty good on mac and cheese. You know what’s better? Tony Cachere’s. JUST TRY IT NOT KIDDING.

I use makeup wipes for face makeup, and the Estee Lauder eye makeup remover. I love it. My mother always gets their big holiday gifts-with-purchase, and I snag her bottle and it lasts me all year. It’s very gentle and not oily, and most important, gets that shit OFF.

I don’t get it either. Internet high five!

I’m more upset about Maddie not being in it than I thought I’d be. :( :(

FAB article. I love it when period dramas take the time to get the costuming historically accurate. I’ve heard stories of productions hiring on ‘historical advisors’ and then basically ignoring everything they tell them. The costumes on Outlander are stunning.

I have the exact same problem. I wish Playstation would let you have like ONE redo for your username. I’d even pay for it.

San Francisco makeup ladies sound kind of scary.

have you done a sleep study?

This is amazing. HOW have I not seen these before. Thank you!!

I haven't! I'm not a nails person though.

high five for Dr. Jart! I am also on my third tube! It's crazy good.

Thanks! I had a different brand of setting spray a while back and really liked it, but for some reason never bought another. I'm definitely going to try the UD spray.

This is awesome, thanks so much! I might go order some of the bug repellant right now. The mosquitoes cometh. The eye shadows are very pretty as well.
