I knew someone who named their children “Cougar” and “Granite.” SERIOUSLY.

I would like to name my child Backpack. It’s probably good that I will not have a child.

I honestly don’t understand nail polish. :-(

Can anyone recommend a good eyelash glue that doesn’t include latex? I haven’t had much luck finding one, but I’d love to be able to wear falsies, and I have a latex sensitivity. I don’t want my eyes to swell up! Halp.

I wish I could find a subscription box I liked. I’ve tried quite a number, and cancelled them all. If there was one which specialized in unscented products and never ever included any nail polish, then I’d sign up in a hot second!

My youngest sister wanted to be a cucumber one year. And my father, bless his heart, hand-built her a cucumber costume from chicken wire and paper mache, and hand painted it. She was an excellent cucumber!

I haven’t noticed any scent to the lipstick, and I’m generally very sensitive to such things. The gold case is definitely there, though. I want to try their cake mascara.

I LOVE LIPSTICK QUEEN. My other favorite is Besame. Their vintage lipsticks are amazing. The color stays on forever.

And thanks to this glowing recommendation, Sephora just got fifty of my hard-earned dollars ... for the product mentioned in the article, and for this as well. But I’m newly single and deserve some fancy lips!

Gorbaduc Raymond. I think it has a nice ring to it ...

I am here to speak in defense of the lowly bone folder. I studied fine hand bookbinding for many years, and a bone folder is the absolute BEST tool for folding paper. Nothing else compares. And they’re only like $6, so it’s it’s not a giant investment for something that will save you both frustration and the cost of…

I've taken to making my own deodorant. It works, it's cheap, and it doesn't make me cry.

As a person who has super sensitive underarms, and for whom razors and most deodorants are a source of deep suffering, I would SO do this. Sign me up!

Hey, who ISN’T down for some tater-tits?

A white person can look great with curly hair. Lots of white women have super curly hair. But that does not make their hairstyle an afro. Do not call it an afro. You simply have curly hair.

She was a server at a hipster diner in Pasadena, so ... Pretty much spot on!

I once met a woman who named her children Granite and Cougar. I made non-committal noises as she told me ALL about why she had done so, as I mentally added up the cost of all the therapy they were going to need. I thought those were the worst. names. ever. But I have been proven wrong!

Possibly the creepiest tutorial I have ever seen. Congratulations! A masterpiece of the macabre.

I mean it in the nicest way!
