I use Maybelline Define-a-lash lengthening mascara. I normally buy the regular one but I mistakenly bought the waterproof a few weeks ago and it doesn't flake or run. I've tried their Great Lash and even though everyone says it's a classic I didn't like it. I like Define-a-lash because the wand is very small and it…

Anyone who makes a Discworld reference deserves a heart. However I disagree with your comparison. Bloomberg wishes he were half as cool and politically savvy as Lord Vetinari.

What are some of the hair blogs you follow? I'm always looking for new hair/style blogs.

Hi five for productive Sundays!

Polenta lasagna. It looks a little intimidating because of all the ingredients and steps but it's pretty simple. Make cheesy polenta (in case you didn't know you use cornmeal to make polenta), roast some vegetables, make a simple tomato sauce. Layer polenta, vegetables, tomato sauce, mozzarella in a baking dish and…

Thanks! That sure beats my usual Sunday of surfing the web and then realizing at 11pm that I've wasted my day.

This article about the history of pregnancy tests was an io9/jezebel cross post earlier this week. It might answer some of your questions.

I just had a super productive evening! I made granola for the week, a salad, a veggie polenta lasagna and a Vietnamese cassava cake. Everything turned out delicious and I'm on top of the world right now!

How much sweetner? You put 1/2 but not the unit of measurement. I'm guessing teaspoon or tablespoon, not cup.

I'm a little skeptical about avocado and chocolate together. How much avocado flavor comes through?

I've done that before and it's delicious. Thanks for reminding me.

Your nails look really good. All these nail posts have inspired me to start painting my nails again on a regular basis.

Not sure if it's too late, but I say A and some bright jewelry. I'm partial to showing off the girls.

First of all, you never need an excuse for delivery. Second, you're sick. That's carte blanche to do whatever it takes to get better, including ordering delivery from a place one block away.

Good idea, thanks.

That sounds delicious! I'm going to make it tomorrow night. I don't know how many days I'll actually eat it for breakfast because my leftovers threshold is about 2 days but I'll try anyway.

Hey guys! I'm making lunch with a 13 year old tomorrow. I don't eat meat, she's a picky eater (doesn't like beans or most vegetables) and she's pre-diabetic. I was thinking baked sweet potato fries and veggie burgers on whole wheat bread. I also want to make dessert but I don't know what to make. Thoughts?

What part of LA are you looking to live in? Westside Rentals is a great site to use if you're looking at a large area and don't want to drive around looking for "for rent" signs. I think Westside Rentals is better than craigslist for most of Los Angeles (basically Santa Monica to West Hollywood), not so much for…

I'm moving in two weeks and I'm pretending that all of my stuff will magically pack itself. There are fairies that pack for you while you sleep, right?

I am a veggie lover but I think green beans were invented by the devil. There I said it! Nothing you and the green bean mafia can do to make me change my mind! Don't even get me started on string beans *shudder.* They were scientifically created as an instrument of torture.
