Omg, yes!!! And that reminds me of Chanel Coco, and now I need to go spritz myself with it!

Excellent advice! It is so easy to get overwhelmed- there are so many instruments and indices and ratios, and everyone seems to have a conflicting opinion. It’s important to just go for it and realize that there isn’t one right answer, or one perfect solution. Do what you can with what you have, and learn as you go!

Preach, Stoya.

Me too! I also love the glamour of the high end 80’s stuff- yards and yards of silk, ostentatious jewelry, looong red nails. There was also a lot of casual elegance that I love; I’m thinking Sigourney Weaver’s character in Ghostbusters (before she was possessed :), Annie Potts in Pretty in Pink, Molly Ringwald in the…

There are drugs that can induce labor, but not delivery. Even after labor is induced, it’s pretty unpredictable.

That’s not true. A student and that student’s family would have to live in-state for the year to get in-state tuition. Or else the student would have to be declared independent, and have lived in the state for the past year. You can’t claim independence for residency purposes if you are supported by your family. You…

Looks like Kylie Jenner has taken a swandive into the uncanny valley.

Yes! I’d much rather have (and be) a boss who is direct and to-the-point, and who tells me exactly what she wants.

She just said, “stop it.” I don’t see how that is admonishing her like a child. She wanted her to stop, she said, “stop” and the assistant stopped. I fail to see what the problem is.

Saying, “stop it” is not rude or disrespectful. Sure, she didn’t go out of her way to be polite, but that doesn’t make it rude. She was just being direct. People could save themselves a lot of indignation if they stopped confusing directness for rudeness.

Yeah, being a general is a man’s job! Good thing you can point to that when someone insults you by saying something about you is girly.

Magnificent.

A phobia, by its very definition, is irrational. So the answer to your question is: that’s always a possibility. Nobody is arguing that it’s a good thing, but that’s what it is.

He probably wanted white dog.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Thank you, thank you thank you! I wouldn’t be surprised if the bartender was just trolling because the guy ordering was so condescending. Of course I also wouldn’t be surprised if the bartender was incompetent and the guy ordering was just marginally more so.

Bourbon and scotch are both types of whiskey.

Great article, thank you! My anxiety used to be much worse before I started employing strategies to manage it. Quitting smoking was a huge help, mostly just because it forced me into mindfulness. A craving would come, and I would react emotionally/instinctively by freaking the f out (in my own head.) But I learned to…

Where did you get your info that the benefits of breastfeeding are substantial? Because new, more rigorous research contends that that is not the case: http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/sibbre… This study suggests that many of the benefits that have been attributed to breastfeeding may actually be attributable to…

I have become less judgmental over the years, but I still don’t ever believe anyone who says she didn’t make enough milk.
