I had extremely oily skin growing up and could not have done this at that time. But my skin changed when I had kids and it is not as oily anymore. Now I usually just wash my face with water while in the shower and have never had better skin. I do not wear makeup (unless I'm going out on a date with my husband) and…

I just turned 44. Got married right before my 40th birthday and have 2 kids, 2 and 3. I never really wanted kids. I enjoyed kids but wasn't driven by that desire in any way. My husband wanted kids and I said I was willing to try but I couldn't promise anything because of my age and some infertility in my family and he…

I have a friend that cross stitches. She has done many nice things for me, bought me very expensive presents and given me several cross stitch presents. I can say that of all of the presents I have gotten, not just from her but from everyone, the handmade gifts are my favorite and most cherished. Make sure what you…

When I was 17 or 18, I could have very easily written the OP. And while I clearly know there were times that I felt taken advantage of, I never really considered the whole rape/victim thing. Ive also stood on the head of a pin with trying to figure out if that guy was as drunk as I was in terms of whether I thought he…

I have found over the years that the first people I meet in a new place are not the ones I truly become friends with. So the fact that you haven't found a group of friends yet may mean you don't invest time in people now that you have to avoid later :). Sometimes it can take a while for everyone to feel each other…

Good luck to you!! Sending good energy your way!!

I didn't feel that with either of my kids. I think I was in shock with my son (my first) and that was the overwhelming feeling. But there was an immediate click. With my daughter (my second), I just didn't recognize her eyes. I have no idea what that even means but I just kept looking at them and I couldn't place…

I know. And I am sure this will be a very stressful few weeks. Just get as much rest as you can. In terms of things that could be wrong with a baby, it's one where the science and doctors are so advanced. I have known of quite a few babies that have had this and they are all healthy, normal and amazing. The fact…

Best of luck to you with the baby. Please do not blame yourself or beat yourself up. This is not your fault.

I just got a really nice cross-stitched tooth fairy pillow as a present from a friend for my birthday! It has a removable ribbon on it so my kid can hang it on the door. I was so excited!! I loved losing my teeth when I was little and saved them all (gross)!! I probably still have them all somewhere (even more…

My hair is stick straight so I may be way off base even chiming in here but I love the deva curl philosophy of cutting the hair at the top or bottom of the curl (not mid-point) for giving the curls more life. It makes sense. Also, it says to just dry with like a tshirt and scrunch your curls, no towel or brush. …

My idea of socializing is so different from most of my friends'. When I used to go out, there was a time in the evening when I was just ready to call it quits. They always invited me, let me know they wanted me to stay (if I went) but they always let me bow out gracefully. Usually, I would join them for dinner and…

It has been about 15 years since this happened to me but I lost my job and could not find another job. I got so depressed and was having confidence issues in searching for a new job and the market wasn't that great. I finally took a temp job doing data entry (I have a graduate degree) with an understanding that they…

We took our kids to their first baseball game. It was 108 degrees so we spent almost the entire time in the Kid Zone - which is basically an indoor (air conditioned) playground. They had a blast and I hate baseball so it was a win win. Then my husband, who does not eat fish, didn't flinch when I suggested Blue…

Why do you think Tom didn't fight her on the custody? Has he seen Suri since?

Yes, I absolutely agree, there was something all very weird about the whole pregnancy, timing and everything else. It all seems to have blown up in his face. What I realize is that all of these people who ditch their PR people, like Tom Cruise, and begin speaking for themselves, do not realize how much that…

I totally believe all of that! It's all just so crazy to me.

I just never would have taken Katie for the type of person who would have gone for ANY of that - and actually, same for Chris Klein. Neither one of them seemed to be looking for that kind of fame/notoriety.

Me too!

That's exactly the first thing I thought too.
