I just literally LOL’d at that. I always mentally compare him to an old leather boot.

I’ve never used the Ordinary but I’ve always thought of them as being a Glossier type brand that gets a lot of undeserved buzz. If you have a lot of competing issues it can definitely be hard to diagnosis your skin, and the dry v. dehydrated issue can be super confusing. I’m glad you found something that you like!

It’s truly shocking that she has been under conservatorship for 10 years. I wonder if we’ll ever get the whole story but I’m leaning towards when-hell-freezes-over type of odds.

I mean his title alone left me in a deep deep state of confusion.

I’ve been using it for years and it is the best thing ever! It is also incredibly lightweight, doesn’t pill under makeup, or make me look greasy in the hot and humid summer months. Holy Grail status for sure.

Sorry you had a bad experience with K-beauty! There is absolutely no such thing as a straightforward K-beauty routine because you’re supposed to alternate many of those steps depending on your skin’s needs on any given day and everyone’s skin is different. Also, absolutely no one should have ever recommended AHAs,…

Sorry, Ellie but I just can’t bring myself to do this one. It’s so painfully boring and it’s self involved but not in a fun VPR way. In their own words, #basic.

Yeah, I was with them on the targeted marketing strategy to encourage the desired demographic to opt in and discourage the nondesired demo to opt out, but the law is pretty clear and ultimately with good reason.

Agreed except for the lips. Can’t wait for the blow up lips to go out of style, although her’s aren’t as bad as others.

I have low key been obsessed with Olivia de Havilland nearly my entire life. I grew up watching a taped version on repeat of the Adventures of Robin Hood (the only Robin Hood adaptation worth watching besides Men in Tights or the animated one, even knowing how much of a fucking creep Errol Flynn was, don’t @ me). As a…

That’s a good call but once a week is probably too much for me, personally. I can tend to fixate on the scale and I avoid weighing myself frequently to keep that at bay. But probably once every other week or so is a good idea.

This is how I lost almost 30 lbs last year. I’ve always worked out a lot but found the pounds had crept up over the years because I hate dieting and would almost always eat too much snacking or during dinner. Last year I jump started being more intentional about how much I eat by tracking calories for a few months and…

Free trip for the most part. And there were places I did really want to see (Masada, Dead Sea, Western Wall). I knew the cost would be lots of pro-Israel propaganda but that bit really stuck with me.

I personally dislike that, regardless of gender. The first time I noticed someone naming their daughter after the mother was Kim and Kimberly Richards from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, so that might have something to do with that.

LATKES!

When I was on Birthright, the trip organizers tried to discuss Israeli history and the status of Palestinians and they actually told us with straight faces that Palestinians were subject to the same laws as Israelis and were equal under the law. Our eyeballs rolled all the way back into our heads at that one. The trip…

That’s so disappointing! I just made my first order from there and while I’m happy with the stuff I got, I haven’t washed anything yet. I mostly got sweaters, as I’ve lost a fair bit of weight in the past year and my formerly oversized, now absolutely huge sweaters weren’t the most professional look. I liked the…

RIGHT?! I didn’t recognize her at first!

Good for those kids, especially Millie Bobby Brown, who definitely deserves a higher salary than the rest considering her role is so important and gets much more screen time.
