I love china. I got married this past weekend, and instead of renting dishes, we had a mixed set of family china (my mothers, my grandmothers and my great-great grandmothers). Fortunately all their tastes were simple with various gold details and went together pretty well :)

Growing up china was always for looking at,…

I do these regularly, and I agree. Every one in addition to one is a battle.

I also agree this movie doesn’t get enough love! For me the big selling point is that I think it’s one of the few adaptations where the focus is really on ELIZABETH and her viewpoint and feelings.

A lot of the other adaptations (which, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy) get so focused on the romance and Mr. Darcy, that they…

I have a name that is most often a ladies name but *could* be a man’s name. Because of that & my work title, about half my cold calls assume I’m a man. Fun stuff.

Yea! I love that it seems much darker and mellower - of a piece (thematically) with where Empire fell in the originally trilogy. (Empire being my fav, so I’m very into this.)

if ever there was a time for an internet campaign to work, this is it.

i do not have rock hard abs, but i would try the one in the middle :)
i’m okay with some mildly weird tan lines that only one person other than me is likely to see

I know they said it was “My Sweet Lord”... but conspiracy theory: if they weren’t allowed to watch and were just overhearing it, there’s a decent chance it’s “He’s So Fine” :D

Whatever happens, you’re the winner in my heart.

I’m a big fan of hand blending pastry dough, especially when you’re making a pie crust. It makes the best tasting crust - if not the fanciest looking :)

Method & all-butter pie crust that I use for all my pies from a kick ass cookbook called “Pie School.” Highly recommend as we edge into pie season

I don’t think the tempo of the show really translates well to a smash cut trailer where they try to fit in all the characters.... the too-fast dialogue sounds force in a way that I reeeeeally hope is just the result of that. But also - helllooooooo Jess :)

I have no idea what the deal would be on a blog site. If it was a big newspaper and you were pitching a big investigative piece or longform story, you’d traditionally as a freelancer be asked to do things like provide phone numbers for sources so that fact checks could be done by the paper (but I have no idea if most…

“Who are we afraid of? What are we afraid of? The worst thing that can happen is we die. Anything else you can handle.”

It’s true of romance novels too - that there are frequently assaults, stalkers, near-rapes, and just general bad behavior of men toward women. And while in some cases - especially movies and GoT - I think it’s shitty narrative short-hand (look how bad this bad guy is!), I think in the case of romance novels and shows…

I hope you make it. I now workout regularly at a studio with mostly ripped and slim beautifully athletic women, and the first time I went, it took so much courage for me to get my lumpy butt in the door. Two years later, I’m working on getting ripped (I’ll never have a six pack, but my forearms and lats are insane)…

as a woman who is living in the Southern United States where it has been quite rainy recently, and as a woman whose prime/best time to have a kid is within the next couple years: yea. it’s fucking terrifying.

My DAD is terrified of it for me and my sister who are both around that making decisions about when to have a…

I think the big thing (not just on Jezebel) is that light fluff is easy and fast to write. With something more complicated (whether it’s the issue or potential legal ramifications of writing something), it takes longer to write.

Thank you for this! I used to work at a wedding cake bakery and read The Knot in between clients. The “aspirational” wedding articles and photos really are the best at making you simultaneously want to cackle at the ridiculous amounts of money wasted, and also want to spend equally ridiculous amounts of money on your…

I’ve also found ModCloth to be super hit or miss with fit and quality, but I’ve also found 1) the comments/reviews are ALWAYS on point. Really good customers who have saved me from bad purchases and correctly directed me to good ones! and 2) their “chat with our reps” function is also pretty decent.

I was watching it with my boyfriend this weekend, and there’s a scene where Tennant-as-Kilgrave walks out of a house on a sunny day in slacks and a sweater and I couldn’t help myself. I thought “oh my god, he’s just so attractive.” But I didn’t want to say it, cuz that’s weird.

But then my boyfriend says “It’s really…
