my guess is it's due to old infrastructure- which affects taste more than anything else- and not what's actually in the water. along with filtering, leave it sitting out for a while. that usually works for me and i've lived in areas with the nation's oldest infrastructure.

yup, i've got cray curly hair, thick but not coarse. i was cutting it once a year if that, but i started doing trims every 4-6 months. and by trims, i mean 1/2 inch off bc i'm not lettin anyone get cray with the scissors.

careful with henna- both my sister and i tried it and she is fair with more mild light brown hair and i'm olive with dark brown hair. guess who turned out orange?? this kid. i do a full dye and it usually last WAY longer than the standard 6-8. if it's matching your natural color i think you could get away with it for…

I agree- HELL NO. mine is waist long- the best advice i got was just to maintain it- ie no straggly ends, regular trims, so even though it's long it still looks professional.

omg that is horrible!!! a wardrobe malfunction caused by BUGS!!! the stuff of nightmares!! good for you for rescuing her!

oh and what a sneaky little fake reply too!!! “i’m sorry you FEEL disrepected” uh no jackass. it’s i’m sorry I disrespected YOU. rage at those fake apologies. ALL THE RAGE!!!

YES! i work in the utility sector as well. while i haven’t faced this yet domestically, when i was abroad i was told to clean the office. and then that same man tried to take me to a hotel, disguised as a trip to a community meeting. my boss later told me not to go on any trips with him. thanks for the heads up!!

yass! i love their pretzels. the rest of their food, not so much. but tasty beer and good hh pricing.

ummm can we talk about mayo??? i worked in a hoagie shop and we would have to glub the mayo out of the costco sized tub into little trays for the hoagie stations. i was literally up to my elbows in mayo. because of that, glub is now a verb. GLUB.

intriguing... is this soft pretzel place cap city brewery?

oh, and of course she wasn't wearing a bra.

Oh I've got a WINNER from my sisters wedding.

yes to this!!! i have a prom-mom meltdown story too!! my hs bf that i was innn loooveee with dumped me and broke my heart. we were planning on going to prom together, and he had said he would still go with me, at which point my mom threatens him that if he ever hurts me again she will hunt him down and make him pay (i…

uhhh THANK YOU...i got my whole head dyed a few months ago for the first time and was wondering why my curls randomly decided they can't even anymore. I thought it might be the dye, or this ridiculous winter we're having on the east coast, glad i'm not going crazy. i wonder if it will happen if i just stick to…

YOU WIN ALL THE THINGS!!!

omg can your next story be on barbizon?? can you please walk in and apply to be a model? that would make us all very happy indeed.

Yea, I mean what's the point of the news/media anyway? Surely not to report on current events, like...for example...fucked up business practices that SHOULD be publicized.

and only eats food out of a monogrammed thermos?

yasss! i am so game for that. you bring the popcorn, i'll bring the beer, and now all we need is a ref...

finally, it's my time to shine: my first kiss was with an abercrombie model. boom. high school me wins.
