Yes!! Last season, I wasn’t a fan of Allison’s frantic, overly pop-y choreography, but I think she has mellowed this season, and this dance last night, though fairly frantic, totally worked. Riker did so well, even throwing in the perfect amount of Captain Jack Sparrow “flair” in his moves.

That’s the word on the street. And I hope it’s true! At the very least, I think he’s totally into her.

Mark drives me CRAZY! Everything he does is overdone. And poor Willow is too young to know any better and say, “NO, MARK!”

Robert Herjavec is a dreamboat. Time to start watching shark tank.

I didn’t know who Riker was before this season, but he’s the obligatory blonde boy-bander, so I was compelled to dislike him. But he is really silly, surprisingly good, he and his partner make a great team.

Do you watch regularly? Bc srsly, dancing with the stars is the highlight of my lame adult life. You know, I came into this season really not wanting to like Riker, but he’s won me over. Way to commit, last night, too. As for Rumer, as soon as she said she wanted to be a villain instead of a princess, I fell in love…

The Jessica McClintock dress era! I feel so lucky to have fallen in that range. My prom dress was like yours, nice and poufy, but Royal blue and with skinny straps — guess they came in handy! ;)

hi! I just responded to you in another comment, then saw this... Funnily enough, it was the Paula's Choice website that had me second-guessing what I knew about lavender EO (and many other EOs in general, too). I had to conclude she's "out to lunch," as you say, on some of this. .... Moreover, I usually go to Robert…

You know, that's what I always thought, and then someone on here linked to this, which makes lavender EO sound like one of the most dangerous things to put on your skin (in fact, that whole website makes all EOs sound super dangerous). It had me second-guessing what I knew.

Like a Rat King of hair!

FYI: yoganerdMD had weighed in with some good, level-headed advice:

fantastic! Thanks, doc!

hmmm, I wonder if those bumps are keratosis pilaris? There's a good discussion of that here. Or maybe milia? I wonder if that has to do with the lavender or with the remaining ingredients of the products or even with being hereditary.

OMG yes, the essential oil cult people! With their cancer-healing powers and "therapeutic grade" systems. Holy bananas. Makes people like me who dig EOs for smelling yummy look like nutters like them.

hi yoga nerd md, so I have a straight up, no snark question about the lavender essential oil. Does this mean I shouldn't use a body scrub or body lotion that has lavender in it bc it's an irritant?

I dislike beets, but I'm starring this because you made me smile. :)

Lavender oil or extract is a skin irritant. It doesn't bother me at all when used in tiny amounts in a body lotion or lip balm or perfume (and I freaking adore lavender lip balm), but I would not put straight lavender oil on my face.

I want to second another commenter's recommendation of Tarte's Lights Camera Lashes. Best vegan mascara I've found. (Also, I found that, for me, Josie Maran's argan oil mascara was a clumpy disaster giving a bad name to vegan beauty products. It made me angry that I bought it.)
