You can absolutely (request, rather than demand) more time with her. One of my major pet peeves with adults is when they drop their friends in favor of their significant others. It’s an absolutely shitty and immature thing to do (like there is no confidence that if you’re separated from your lover for a few hours,…

I’m going to disagree and say that I think it’s important for you to talk with your friend about how you’re feeling.

I’m polyamorous, so NRE is a thing I had to learn how to navigate. If your partner is excited about someone not you, you have to back off a little and let them enjoy it. Still be around and supportive.

Let the relationship run its course. It will. I know that’s hard to do. But, people are very sensitive and very protective of their romantic relationships, and it will only be seen as jealousy. You run the chance of ruining the friendship if you say something. If she’s not in an abusive situation, don’t say anything.…

New Relationship Energy is a hell of a drug. I would let her relationships play out from a distance, if you can. I know it will be hard, but it sounds like she is at least temporarily obsessed. If she asks why you seem to be distant explain calmly that she seemed to be focused on her boyfriend, and so you backed off.…

From a friend who is far more eloquent than I:

I am not getting the hate / snark of this article. Yes, Weiss had loads of privilege that helped and supported her trajectory. But she’s not denying that. And even with privilege, successfully launching a multi-million dollar company, by 32 no less, is damn impressive. We saw a number of exposes over the past year…

I will never understand Jezebel’s hatred of this company or the woman who founded it. She runs a successful company. People like her products and buy them. What is the problem here? It must be vast, considering the number of column inches Jezebel writers devote to bitching about Glossier, and yet I can never find any…

I’m pretty sure which writer it would have been from, too

I think the guys were smart enough to more or less to keep their mouths shut. It wasn’t their time or place. But...

A quick shout out to anyone going through this holiday season single, divorced, widowed, apart from their children, childless not by choice, estranged from their family, or in any other less than desirable situation. You’re not alone. And, if you know someone like this, please remember: it’s hard to be bombarded with…

I spent last evening baking banana bread and lemon drizzle cakes and today making lasagna soup, which is apparently a thing, for my dinner on Christmas day. I’m getting over an upper respiratory infection that had me down for almost a week. This was the third time I was ill in three months. I’m usually totally healthy…

Same. I’ll always see her as Veronica, and therefore I’ll never stop loving her.

I still have a space in my heart for Veronica Mars.

Not only that - why would a mother of a crying child stick a camera in his face? Clearly this should be kept private for the kid’s sake, and this should be dealt with via a face-to-face conversation between rational adults. Why did she scramble to pull out her phone and record her kid’s breakdown? The answer is on…

When Lam set up the GoFundMe what was the stated goal? How is the money going to help stop the bullying?

Deciem brands, and the ordinary in particular are awesome. Highly recommend.

I can’t tell you how much I love this little man. He’s mostly an acne guy, but his skincare recs are bang on.

I’ve had wonderful luck finding my new skincare regime through Birchbox. It’s $10 a month and I found stuff I would have never even considered. I’m loving Sunday Riley, but it’s terribly expensive. Recently a jezzie mentioned The Ordinary - said it had some good stuff.
