So, for someone who has never really checked out this genre, is Alisha Rai a good author to begin with?

This is the correct approach.

You take that back. Halloween is the best of all holidays.

If Halloween didn’t exist, I would be all about this, but thankfully, the best of all possible holidays is just a month away, and I don’t have time for this Yuletide nonsense when I don’t even have my costume put together yet.

I don’t know, I may have watched too many 90's Lifetime movies, but he looks abusive and misogynistic to me. (PS: Lifetime movies get a lot of shit, but no joke, I learned a lot of really important lessons about consent and the signs of abuse from those movies.)

Yeah, I wasn’t given a booklet, but the nurse at my last prenatal visit slipped in some questions while taking my blood pressure. I wish she had done it directly after blood pressure- I like to completely zone out while having my blood pressure taken. But I’m glad she asked, nonetheless. I hope it helps someone.

LW1: Don’t take someone on the side. That’s not cool.

Mousse, setting spray, and hot rollers can give you gorgeous curls- I’ve been using them for a bit for a more retro look (because they aren’t as hot as a curling iron), and generally can keep the curls for three days at a time.

You were Baba Yaga beofre it was a thing. High five! :)

You are way ahead of the game. I figure different bones for different uses: small delicate ones for earrings and necklaces, medium sized for brooches and barrettes, large for the handle of a coordinating bag, perhaps?

Yes! Now I need someone else more skilled in makeup than myself to come up with the makeup look. I have exactly two makeup looks: concealer, liquid makeup, powder, pale gold eyeshadow, black eyeliner, black mascara, red lipstick; or natural with an orange-coral-apricot lipstick.
