The local LUSH team is fantastic so I would hope they are taken care of. Unfortunately even luxury brands are doing an awful job of keeping employees happy.

These are scary times for retail. I just survived the near-collapse of the brand I work for and while it’s a huge relief, it is bittersweet because so many of my co-workers in other locations lost their jobs. We have rent to pay, in some cases children to feed. All this has done is made me realize how little these…

Thank you for that fatherhood video! Almost sent tea out of my nose!

Right? I get that there are only so many things you can do with an overpriced coated canvas bag, but this?

Thank you for that cackle!

I never watched this as a child (funnily enough I danced as Mary in a ballet recital at 7 or 8) but grew to love it as an adult while caregiving full time. I read the first book recently and it gave me a new appreciation for her. I had the pleasure of watching the film at the United Palace here in NY just as Lin was…

This! They rolled the tv into our classroom on that metal shelf thing and we watched it. I hadn’t the slightest clue why (Only knew about the Bronco chase and that he was being accused of murder) but when the verdict was read all the boys in class cheered. The teacher turned to us teary eyed and said something along…

Oh, I just snorted on the train! Bwahahahaha!

Exactly. The company I work for was sold recently after some financial troubles and it’s almost a guarantee that we will cease to operate in the U.S. We have yet to get an email acknowledging the future of our branch and had to find out via word of mouth that our new CEO had already jumped ship. But you better believe…

Thank you for this, Lindsey. I’ve been following Ashley’s career for awhile and it’s lovely to see her endeavors pop up in places besides my instagram feed.

And mango! I was already in high school and if I had stomach issues my grandmother would still buy me a little jar of it to make me feel better.

That video brings back so many loving memories. Just what I needed to start the day. It also reminds me why I would only go to the restroom while young sir was napping. Only once (during his clingy phase) did he need to sit on my lap as I sat on the throne but there were plenty on conversations through the door!

Ah, mine is shaped like Samantha. I got to play with them at a friend’s house or look at the catalogues other girls brought to school. She’ll be mine yet (thank goodness for Ebay).

I work in luxury retail and it’s remarkable how they come in bragging about working in finance and as soon as we get to the register they start sweating about the amount. At this point I can spot them as soon as they enter and send them to Victoria’s Secret where they belong...

I’m scream-laughing because this was my worst nightmare during my caregiving days(the parents would often telecommute and if young sir knew they were around, all of my authority went up the chimney). Oh, my heart...I really needed this today!

We may or may not have a burgundy towel to throw down when I’m, well, you know. We’ve dubbed it the “rowdy rag.”

Love Anya’s shows! I worked at her boutique a few years ago and could not believe how much money people spent on leather stickers. I also realized how lucky Jay-Z was that Solange missed his head with that metal crisps purse.

Ugh, I didn’t realize Issa London went out of business. I couldn’t afford “the dress” but when they partnered with Banana Republic I bought it and got my happy ending. I wore it twice, sent it to the dry cleaner with a large amount of stuff and never saw it again. At least I have the fotos y recuerdos of me wearing it…

I’m so sorry. But from one Mexican-American to another, you and your fiance should be very proud of yourselves. People in this country have no idea how much easier it is to get an education and yet still have the nerve to come up with excuses when facing their lack of skills, etc. I had to clap back at a viejo…

Now I’m crying. Thank you, nameless Chicagoland attorneys.
