Unscented shea butter at night under some cotton gloves. Slather it on, put on gloves, and go to sleep. It's the only thing that helps me in the winter months.

Agree. Perfectionism is a really unhealthy trait. Perfection is unachievable, so people end up stressing themselves out to the point of anxiety as they devote tons of time and energy to something they constantly fall short of. Once you chill out and accept that "doing the best you can" is as much as you can ever…

Exactly my thoughts! I feel like I "have it all," even though I don't have wide name recognition or a six-figure salary, or whatever the hell else would be a marker of "it all." I have a job that I love, where I feel like I'm doing some good in the world and have the respect of my co-workers. I have kids who are…

I mean...for me buying things from Loft is aspirational. And I work and live in Chicago and have a full time job.

THANK YOU for being a teacher! Teachers are the best people that I know. Thank you for educating our young folks, and teaching them the important things in life.

But it's not just lack of compassion, either. These people seem to believe that 'it can't happen to me because...' is a real thing. How can anyone be so short sighted (or so deeply in denial) that they think their current good health will last forever because they are 'responsible' for their health? Is this just…

I think this happens to a lot of people in the US, with insurance but also vacation days, sick days, pensions, all other benefits that can come from jobs. People who have barely adequate benefits are so desperate to keep them that they are afraid of any change in the system, even one that could benefit them. They…

We do pay more for insurance. It's called not getting paid as much as men. So our insurance costs eat up a larger proportion of our income. ALSO, co-pays. Lots and lots of co-pays and deductibles for all those extra doctor visits.

It's because they have distorted notions of "fairness". It's like they aren't capable of processing the discrimination in saying that rules should only apply to the people THEY want to apply to to (Aka women's rights/gay marriage). She contradicts herself and moreover...WHY was this even written? What's the point in…

Personally, I think people make these sort of arguments because they are stoooopid.

I will certainly believe everything that you say, but it doesn't resolve my magnificent performance art vs. written-entirely-on-LSD conundrum.

Wearing it right now and I am most definitely not part of their target demographic. *booty shake*

ugh, I feel ya. I grew up with a mom (an awesome mom, bless her) who thought OLD NAVY was too "brand name/expensive." seriously if I ever have to walk through a Kohl's to get to a mall (which thankfully isn't all that often) I have horrible flashbacks because that's where ALL my clothes were from.

As a person who is roughly the same age as these boys, who like them has more or less grown up in the technological/ social media era, I am astounded at how blatantly and carelessly they write about their drug-dealing and other illicit and illegal behaviors ON FACEBOOK. Putting aside the awful, shitty behavior of…

THAT is my biggest problem with cops. Because many of them do not like it when you exercise your rights to determine if they really are who they say they are, etc. They want you to do what they say immediately, and if they take exception to the way you are or aren't doing it, no matter if you are in the right, not…

I used to speed up Barry Manilow singing "Copacabana." Also fantastic.

I hear you. I've been sick (often literally) with anxiety ever since I graduated because my "safety net" is a borderline-abusive environment. So far I've been able to avoid moving back, and might not ever need to, but the possibility alone is enough to shatter my peace of mind. I *wish* I had this mythical…

Yep! And there is the injustice of it all. That is why people are mad about her appropriation. The fact that she can shake her flat back and call it twerking and have people call her cool and brave while the black girls do it on youtube and get called natural born sluts.

Oh, for some reason I thought he was. My mistake. Also, not really the gist of my comment.

It just looks like she is using her ass to clean an invisible glass door.
