I think that would be a really thoughtful thing to do. You sound really sensitive and self-aware, and I’m sure that whatever you’ll write will reflect that. I don’t think it’s a selfish move at all, especially because you’re not asking anything of her.

LOVE! It’s so flattering on your skin tone. I’m sure if you add more pink it will look gorgeous too, but I totally love the blue-green.

Girl, mental health issues are VERY real. I have GAD and have panic attacks (although they’re pretty rare now), and I’m also studying clinical psychology in grad school (because apparently I want my whole life to be about mental health, hah). The most frustrating thing for me about my anxiety has been when people who…

The Kevin Aucoin brow pencil! I had been using the Hourglass Arch Brow Pencil (or whatever it’s called) but I really love how teeny tiny the tip is on the Kevin Aucoin one - you can get really natural-looking but big brows with it. It stays put really well too, which was a problem I’d had with Hourglass and the…

Benefit has some good pinky- and silvery- toned highlighters that don’t look too weird and yellow on pale skin! I’ve tried High Beam before (which I didn’t love honestly, but a lot of people really do) and I think there’s another one called Girl Meets Pearl or something dumb like that that was really pretty too!

This question is not for me - but this is something I have thought a lot about. I had wondered for a while what to tell my coworkers when I left work to see my therapist. I decided to just be honest with the people I felt comfortable with, and the reaction was really positive. I was actually surprised by how many…

Everyone has great advice and I don’t have anything new to add, but I just wanted to add to the internet hugs. I second feministea - I have been in a similar place before, and if I can think of anything that sounds even a tiny bit good, I just do it - like make myself tea, order a book online to look forward to, eat…

I do the same exact thing - its like a flip switches all of a sudden and I’m over it. My friends think I’m crazy because I NEVER finish TV shows. Mad Men, Friday Night Lights, The West Wing, Sherlock, Friends, Gilmore Girls...it’s super weird but it’s real.

Hey thanks!! I feel honored :)

Thanks! It’s encouraging to hear that that’s actually possible to do. :)

I think it may reveal the level of my Parks & Rec obsession if I tell you that I love the use of Perflipisklup (unless I’m way off?)

I think I’m going to try that out and see if it works for me. It’s just hard to give yourself permission to not work, without feeling guilty about it! But then that defeats the point...

Hey there Jezzies.

Can’t find language strong enough to express how much NO I feel about this.

This is part of the reason I hated that Dove “you’re more beautiful (i.e. whiter, thinner, blonder) than you think!” campaign so much. Like, it’s not an option to say, “You know what, I am actually not beautiful, and that’s fine, but can we just a real non-bullshit filled discussion about that?” I don’t need to be…

My cats do the same! Even better if I happen to be IN the bed at the time. Jerks. Guess they want to vom in comfort.

Oh, god. Can’t unsee.
