My solution is not really a solution: I only properly wash my face in the shower. I wash my hair every 4 days, but every other day I’ll hop in for a 60-second armpits-n-bits wash, so if I’ve not put my makeup on by then, I cleanse my face then. Other nights, I just splash some water on after my makeup wipe (Shiseido),…

It’s just a really weird place to protest, though. There’s a Versace store in the area. There are loads and loads of luxury tower blocks going up with beautiful showrooms on the ground floor; why not direct your symbolism to the people literally pricing poor people out of the area?

She devotes SO MUCH text to admitting that yes, she is very privileged to be able to say that. You’ve taken that quote out of context in a way that implies that she was making a blanket statement, rather than answering her friend’s question, talking about her personal feelings and situation.

I’m a Midwesterner studying for my full degree in the UK, too, and your advice is really solid- fake it til you make it worked wonders for me. However, I take offense on behalf of the British at the claim that their food is shit! Food in the UK is so international and fresh and generally lovely. Also, I doubt OP is…

I don’t know if this is a common option in the US, but I’m on a birth control pill in the UK called Cerazette and I’m in love. It’s a progesterone-only pill that I take continuously (apparently similar to Mircette here, one I’ve not heard of?), and it’s stopped my periods completely. Before, I used to have awful…

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic, but the Blur song is called ‘Song 2’.

Jia you’ve just nailed down ~exactly~ why I can’t get into FKA’s music. She’s gorgeous and cool and talented, but I can’t really get into something without a melody.

Lana is queen, Lana is life.

I know sizes are weird and a terrible benchmark, but I’m really confused as to how she’s a size 6- I’m 5’9” and 135 lbs, and that is the dress/pant size that commonly fits best.

Slut DEFINITELY means someone who has lots of sex in the UK- I’ve never heard it used otherwise! ‘Sluttish’ sometimes comes up in old old books as a word for ‘messy’, but please don’t come to London and start calling messy people sluts. They would be well peeved.

This probably won’t be seen because I’m late and (ironically) in the greys, but...someone please ungrey me? I promise I play nicely with commenters. Some of my comments even do quite well! I’ve had a few that got over 100 recommends! But...still grey. Someone please put me out of my misery.

Congrats, that’s very exciting! Maybe we Londoners will finally get Night Tube on the weekends this year! (It’s definitely not coming for a while. It just isn’t.)

That’s okay, I misunderstood :-) I think you’re right that it’s an important subject to bring up!

I’m sure that some people work through it, but some people can’t. I don’t think it’s fair to pass judgment on people who ‘abandon’ the marriage if a change occurs that makes them fundamentally incompatible.

Depends on the short haircut, actually, I find my short hair to be much lower maintenance than my long hair! (Chin-length bob versus waist-length). Brushing it takes no time because no tangles, and it dries 3 times faster! I say do it, hair always grows back.

Has anyone got any advice for any sweet romantic gestures/dates/ways to hang out that don’t cost a million dollars or necessitate warm weather? Bf and I have been fighting a lot lately, and we seem to have reached a calmer stage now- it would be nice to come up with a way of showing him a bit of affection in creative…

I was about to comment on this as well- but I live in the UK so probably have picked up on their implications of the word.

Sounds like a pretty teachable chemistry moment, no?

Her interviews are always weird and I don’t think she often comes off well at all. That said, I absolutely adore her music (erm, my user name) and I just want to hear more of her singing and less of her opinions.
