Ooh, that’s good to know! I’m on the hunt for a sensitive-skin facial sunscreen ... Umbrelle works for my body but makes my face too greasy.

Which app are you using? I was considering doing a similar thing! Does it let you play music from iTunes at the same time? Apologies for the barrage of questions!

I’ve been waiting for the Beauty Thread all week! So I’m getting married this summer, and am starting to get things in order. My sister’s friend is going to do makeup for myself, the bridesmaids, and groom’s ladies (his sisters) ... but I’d really like to purchase lip stuff for myself and the girls in advance, so we…

Ooh, then I’ve got a recommendation for you! Sephora’s “Colorful wink-it felt liner” in waterproof, little black dress is fantastic. The pen has the same amount of control as the KVD liner, but the pigment is perfectly consistent, and there’s never feathering for me. Price is quite reasonable too!

I find Sally Hansen polishes are quite good, and they are generally gentle on the nail itself.

Perennially grey, and a bit late to the party, but I’ve wanted to post about this all week!

MARK!! You’re back!!! We’ve all missed you so! What a wonderful saturday surprise ...

I was just thinking about those Duggars (and posted something upthread, ha). Good gracious, if they’re representative of the professional midwife standard . . . I would not want that standard of care present if I or some woman I love gave birth. How can they provide competent care?!

Somehow your comment just reminded me of the Duggar girls training to be midwives . . . Apparently Jill is now certified . . .

I’m really excited that this story will be shared with a broader audience, bringing more attention to issues of health disparity. Her cells continue to make huge impacts!

I’m really happy that this story is going to be shared, so more people can gain an awareness and appreciation for this. An ordinary woman’s suffering, a triumph of science, and too little recompense for the people who she left behind. Hopefully it sparks dialogue and motivates people to bridge health disparities.

I am copying these to try later. They look amazing!

If you’re looking for cute dresses, sites like Modcloth and Pinup Couture have nice plus-size selections. You can still find things you love in your current size! It just takes a while now to learn where to look.

I know I’m late to the party but I just want to say, I miss booze. I’m not usually a big drinker, but I’ve been on Accutane since September and I’ve been good about not drinking to preserve my liver . . . due to my reduced Accutane dose I’m going to be stuck not-drinking for at least two more months. It’s annoying.…

Something that may work is saying something along the lines of, “Look, X, I love you. I really appreciate Y and Z parts of our relationship. But on the topic of vaccinations, let’s agree to disagree. I’m not going to agree with you, and you’re not going to agree with me, so let’s stop talking about it, entirely. This…

You (and your daughter) both have a lot going on! Does your local library have audio books? That might be something to cheer her up and give her a bit of power about when/what to consume, if she uploads a few to her phone or iPod.

Just a thought. Hopefully a helpful thought.

Whatever you decide, and wherever you go, I’d suggest keeping whatever certification updates your current job requires, in addition to going back to school (if the job that provides is something you’re interested in). If you have your appropriate technician licensing, you can always gain work doing that, and then…

So I’ve been trying the Garnier Miscellar Water stuff for the past couple weeks ... and I have to say that for me, it isn’t the miracle that some folks have found it. It dissolved my makeup well, so it makes a pretty effective makeup remover. As a cleanser/full routine, though ... I could use it for a day, but I at…

This is mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing this magic with the world.

Good luck!
