I had the complete opposite reaction to losing an unexpected pregnancy, I was so surprised I was pregnant (on BC), and then before I'd mentally accepted it was real, I'd lost it. I felt that it was my fault that I had, because I hadn't been looking after myself and was working in a physical job. I never knew at age 19…

My interpretation based on events in the latest season (that I don't want to spoil for anyone, so I'll be vague) and previous seasons, are that we know that The Devil, or 'King of Hell' is a changeable role, so why can't 'God' be? The way the angels act, well, most of them are just like the demons these days. I think…

I love Wesley, he is my favourite character of anything ever. Because he is me. I think he is most if not all scfi-fi fantasy fans, if we were ever actually thrown into these situations. He knows all the rules, has all the skills, but he gets into the real life and totally craps out. He takes real hardship and pain…

My brothers and I all have mismatched jaw bones (one is smaller, one is larger). While they will be getting surgery for health reasons, mine is not nearly so bad and I only view it as a slight cosmetic vanity. Which is only visible to me apparently, in that I feel like the sides of my face are not symmetrical enough.…

My friends have started referring to my boyfriends as 'the latest', which is hella awkward, since I've only had three proper boyfriends, but I do date a lot. I refer to anybody I'm seeing as my friend, and my friends as mates, which is the beauty of the Aussie language. It covers people I'm dating without the…

That sounds like what I do, and am a face eczema sufferer as well if i'm not appropriately moisturised, so I understand the struggle!

Yes, I've been a Jezebel reader for over six years.. It has definitely changed its level of friendliness and how much it focuses on feminism in the last year or so. I avoid commenting on the heavier articles and stick to the make up/skincare articles. Much less taxing emotionally.

After years I found water based moisturiser for extremely dry skin basically stopped my skin from producing all the excessive oil. So now I dont 'clean' or 'strip' my face. I treat it with salicylic acid, which dries the top layer of skin, then I exfoliate with a facial buffer that dead skin off, then I treat and…

I get the exact same problem! Even 'natural' products can cause problems as well, so I use a body wash liquid thing designed for sensitive skin that has minimal ingredients because I can't use soap at all. Turns out even lactose free milk can set off mt acne.

Wow, the thought of studying at Oxford... I will definitely be looking into this.

Oh my goodness, you poor thing. I wish I had some magical cure to give you. I had acne as a teen, that was cleared with Birth Control, I'm a sufferer of PCOS and receive hormone treatments, however that so far has had no effect on my acne one way or the other. I find that for me cleanliness, food and the right…

Luckily I haven't needed that strength of medication either. Have you tried antibiotics for the acne bacteria? I also discovered cutting lactose free milk (I am lactose intolerant) out of my diet completely eliminated the um, what are the big under the skin pimples actually called, the ones that grow really big but…

On an earlier story (here? Somewhere else?) I definitely saw it as a quote, as in a J-Law quote of Miley, BUT, as I can't remember from where, my memory of that is probably faulty, so you're probably right.

Thanks, I've heard so many good things about the Clarisonic but it's out of my price range at the moment. I actually really only use (now that my occasional Biore habit will be thrown out) QV products. I get combination eczema and acne on my face and neck and eczema on my legs, when I'm not careful with my skin. It is…

Yeah, it's not a regular thing for me, but I know the colour from mine definitely comes off, I guess I just assumed it dissolved when I shouldn't have. Now I'm sad, because I thought I had gotten my whole beauty regime cruelty free and my face loves Biore something chronic. I guess I will just stick with Yes To from…

She walked past and said 'get it together girl'. Real helpful..

From memory it was brought up on the weekend Jez coverage. Maybe they decided the discussion of it there was enough. It wasn't a controversial discussion, it was just everyone acknowledging it was gross and bad. I don't think I saw one supportive comment. So maybe they decided it wasn't worth a full write up unless it…

I always thought the beads in these were dissolvable, but apparently not? I know mine seem to dissolve, but maybe that's just the outside blue portion of the bead, and the inside is plastic? I'm really conflicted now, as Biore the brand has always seemed to work, but now that I'm researching it more thoroughly, it's…

Yes! They also use the same thickening agent in thick shakes as they do in diapers to soak up pee. There is nothing you want to ingest in the Burger King 'dairy' products. The ice-cream and shake mix also contained pig fat (this info is for aussie Hungry Jacks, as a former manager) when I worked there, I don't know if…

I prefer manual exfoliation too. I get flaky skin from treating acne, so it gets rid of that without damaging the newly healing skin and gives the face a smooth finish for makeup.
