One thing I think The Ordinary has done in terms of impact on the skincare industry—both directly and indirectly—is they have elevated product and ingredient knowledge on the consumer end. Many more of my clients now immediately understand what something like hyaluronic acid is and what it does. I also think that by…

My advice for anyone interested in cutting back their skincare costs and trying The Ordinary is this: look at the ingredient list of the products that you love (but want to phase out due to cost). The first few ingredients listed are usually going to be your most active, meaning these are the ingredients that are…

Agree that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. deserves to be on this list as one of the best. What an incredible season from a show I was worried was beginning to lose its luster. I feel like the whole cast really got an opportunity to shine.

Yes. This. When I was 12 I got so physically sick that I was subjected to a battery of tests and yet the cause and nature of my illness remained a mystery.

This is so important and it’s all about developing a healthy self-concept. Children and adolescents will naturally establish a sense of identity and this includes the attributes, abilities, attitudes and values that they believe define who they are. It’s important for us to lift children up as they engage in this…

Covering half of her face with her hands and the other with tinted glasses. Because that’s makeup!

That these men can even consider or have the choice to “avoid their female colleagues” for this or any other reason highlights their privilege.

Yet another reason I need to be Winona Ryder’s best friend added to the list.

Way back when The Walking Dead started (and was a show I actually watched), one of my favorite go-to conversation starters was “Would you/How would you survive the Zombie Apocalypse?” It was always a playful, interesting way to get to know people.

It’s interesting because he certainly doesn’t present himself as being very intelligent, seemingly also lacking in emotional intelligence. We know he also doesn’t read literature and that information is presented to him in an arguably “dumbed-down,” simplified way.

Can we just be done with The Joker, especially Jared Leto’s version of The Joker? I actually kind of enjoyed maybe the first third of Suicide Squad but the overall plot quickly bored me. So I might be interested in another go at it. I’d say I found the majority of the Squad pretty interesting as characters (and I…

Shout out to:

Firstly, I am so sorry for what you have gone and continue to go through. I hope you have some peace. I was also stalked some time ago by a person who was found later to be very mentally ill. Unfortunately the “system” wasn’t much help to me at the time because this person never actually threatened to take my life. I…

I sincerely doubt those kids are *actually* going to be calling the shots when it comes to defending their strongholds against the White Walkers. It wasn’t about putting those kids in charge. It was not driving them and their people from their lands in the midst of Winter, especially when (and this may have been the…

I’d say it’s a toss-up *if* The Night King and his army weren’t a thing that exists. Sansa seems to be playing by the rules of “The Great Game”—primarily a political one—which makes sense to her because that is her experience. Politically (excluding the White Walker threat), it might make more advantageous to reward…

Seriously... The Red Wedding wasn’t just what happened inside the Great Hall. It was also what the Freys did afterward. For a refresher, the wiki (http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Wedding) puts it clearly:

Ahhh skin type! So, there’s a difference between skin type and skin condition. Think of it this way—skin type is more long-term while skin condition is more short-term. Women tend to be more affected by hormonal changes—and pretty much throughout our lifetimes so YAY—than men and this often affects our skin.

I work in skincare and I honestly feel it’s all about how you approach it. That’s why I love your take on this. If you feel like you’re constantly being marketed to and being told you look like garbage (via the media, advertisements, and “beautiful people’s” insta pics), then skincare can seem more like a chore…

Up until this point I feel like I’ve been a bit of a TWD apologist. I’ve been able to justify to myself why certain controversial choices were made and been able to accept them as part of the story.

But it’s so diverse! She’s got Apple (a child) and Blythe (an older) and a bunch of semi-middlers!!! Lest you think she’s not representing all demographics!
