Is brazilian blowout the same as a keratin treatment? I seem to recall an article in Allure magazine (6?) months ago that outlined some differences in straightening treatments.

I guess I’m talking more about these mall makeup artists. It seems like I’m almost always thinking, “I like it except for the cheekblush” on all of these mall makeovers.

Also, I can totally relate to Laurel. I've been in baby jail for almost 4 years now, and while I ised to like trying on clothes and makeup, it just...I just can't do it now. Even if I had the time to do it or occassion to dress that way. I feel like a run-down, haggard fraud! I feel like I've aged the way a president…

I like the eyes and lips in both makeovers, but not the cheekblush. I feel like cheekblush was terrible for a long time in the 80s and early 90s, then everyone just said, “screw it” and ditched it completely for a few years, but then there were all sorts of lovely cheek products and techniques a few years ago.

So well-said!!!!!

I am a professional UTI sufferer. Let me tell you what doesn’t work: cranberry anything. No juice, no pills. Vinegar doesn’t work either. No herbal stuff works. Perhaps all the advice to wipe front-to-back and pee before and after sex helps, but I was diligent and I stillgot them once a month at least. Antibiotics…

Sorry, but all the people saying, “sunscreen”, FUCK YOU! You are clearly at the age where it’s not too late and you don’t have crepe paper hands with imbedded age spots!

*SIGH*

I have been waiting for something like this!

Not really, though. He stands a pretty decent chance to win the primary, but not the presidency- which is the exact problem the republicans have had ever since Karl rove got in there and stirred up the bigot sludge that was lying around the bottom of the gutter.

A bill that formalizes a practice that’s been de rigeur for 30 years already and there is no controversy? That means it’s finally time for Hillary Clinton to take a stand on the issue and make a big deal about it!

“Spends her day arguing with insurance companies over the phone.”

I think the problem is that the people who most believe themselves to be heminways end up actually being Hydes.

I mean, I suppose it’s better than college when I just went to school all day in my actual pajamas, rain boots and overcoat (flannel ones that looked like actual pajamas, not the yoga pants that I currently sleep in and then go out in thinking I’m getting away with it). So, this is a step up...from my obscenely low…

I LOVE slippers and house shoes. I still haven’t found the perfect pair yet.

Exactly. This is a far better way for the president to shame him. People should not start putting heat on the president over this- that isn’t where the heat belongs.

I know. I was surprised when president Obama kept towing that line in speech after speech: “Americans want nothing more than to work.”

I actually agree. I live tJ’s priducts and have tried the shampoos and conditioners so many times and just can’t get on board. It’s not like I use expensive stuff normally either (Pantene, mostly). I found the TJ’s stuff to be way too drying on my hair. Of course, I have naturally very dry and somewhat curly hair with…

Good advice! I am also a night showerer, and currently put anti-perspirant on after shower and again in the morning. It's an okay system, but it seems to be a little lacking. I'll try the certain dri in the evening. I've been curious about it anyway.

I got some of their stuff for a while, which is a fantastic deal if the razors work for you. For some reason, the only razors that work for me are off-brand Venus razors (I don't know why the actual brand isn't as good on me, but I'm not complaining as the off- brand is cheaper). I would love a dedicated post on hair…
