i’m flying on Singapore Airlines next week from nyc to europe, and i’m SUPER excited for it. i couldn’t figure out how to get like awesome roomy seats in the upper cabin, though, but i’m hoping it’ll still be nice! i hear the meals are not bad, too... :)

pro tip - only use “pro tip” when actually giving a tip that not everyone already knows. most people do this already and it causes huge lines at the gate while the 1-2 gate attendants bag every single roll-on suitcase.

Still, on Porter you get free good snacks (almonds, terra chips, cookies), free drinks INCLUDING alcohol! I just flew Porter from Newark to Toronto for the first time, and you should have seen my American face when I realized the flight attendant just pours you wine, no talk of payment! (or was that because I paid $20…

i’m with you, i don’t use youtube for much beyond trailers and the occasional late night show clip. but “kids these days” use it for eeeeverything! smart move by the brand team, really. and smart to revert her to teenager rather than the (mid-20s?) young adult she has typically been. at least that’s the age i remember…

hmm, I love Maya Rudolph, but this impression was not great... Rachel comes across as not stupid, actually, and that’s all i was getting from the impression. In fact, Dolezal uses the academic language of race studies (not sure if that’s the best phrasing?) to sound even more like an authority on the subject.

this deoderant scent gives me bad scent memories of 7th grade locker room...

I’m still looking around and have tried many over the years... I’ve tried Secret solid and gel, Tom’s, and Arrid roll-on, both felt like they worked for a week or two but stopped lasting long enough (i.e. they’d wear off by mid-day) or just stopped working well. I’ve even tried just getting a non-scented men’s…

haha my own mother has done this to me when i have come down dressed but not jeweled- or made-up enough. it’s an even greater expectation when you are a newlywed - the new bride is supposed to be extra bedazzled for at least a year post-wedding at all events! :)

YAAASSSS, Indian jewelry for the win! i wish i could wear it every day to every thing, but it’s just too much sometimes. especially the 22k gold stuff - in the corporate world, that bold 22k yellow gold sticks out like a sore thumb, and comes across (imho) as immigrant-chic, not extravagant-chic. :( so i save it for…

damn girl, your response to JM is much nicer than her retort asked for.

i agree, i didn’t think mungojerrie’s comment was rude at all. she couched it in between praise of what was good, and her 2nd reply was even more gracious to Jane Marie’s defensive retort.

Yeah I’m seeing pretty readily available stuff and basic choices here, with the exception of a couple of the layering choices...

ugh, what a poor choice - yes it looks cool, but an escort card display has got to be functional, and this is just NOT. people need to find their names easily, and they will move cards around in the process. this setup would be a mess after the first two people come by!

Quantico!! super interested to see how that goes — not in small part because the LEAD is a woman, and not just any woman, a major Indian Bollywood star! (Priyanka Chopra) they sound like they dubbed her voice (maybe she couldn’t do the American accent?) but still rather interesting to see her show up in a primetime…

I decided against a bouquet altogether. I didn’t see the point of paying more money for a bouquet that I would hold in front as I walked down the aisle, hiding my also expensive and beautiful outfit.

haha you are not alone, i definitely yelled/whined that same sentence to my husband at some point in the planning process.

ugh i visited a house that had a full wall mirror directly opposite the toilet, in the powder bathroom. it was not okay. save that weirdness for your bedroom bathroom.

this commercial is all the more upsetting because Cottonelle is actually a great product! it’s perfect!

yup this about covers it. the key is, they don’t think muslims are anything like themselves! it’s powerful how strong of an effect the “other” concept can have in one’s psychology and thinking.

honestly, between this ever-increasing trend of islamophobia and the near-daily police killing of black men, i just wonder if i really want to have and raise my (muslim) kids in america anymore. but europe is not much better on the islamophobia front, and frankly i am american, i’ve only ever lived in nj/ny... where…
