1. Using a round brush on my hair for a blowout.

SAME! Usually I just clip my hangnails and cuticles and brush some clear polish on. Even when I do manage to do my own nails with polish, they look good for about 12 hours, because I never remember to put on gloves to wash the dishes, and I use my hands a lot. If I wasn’t so cheap, I’d do gel nails, but I can’t…

Word. I wish there was more transparency on the part of the companies who are hiring. I think more often than not, they don’t say what their actual salary range is because it shows just how greedy and cheap they are in what they’re looking for. The posting asks for AT LEAST 5 years experience in the field, plus…

Been there too. It was awful.

I feel like that can also fall in the “sense of humor” category. Like, you’ll be expected to go to company sponsored drunk fests on your own time where people end up acting like degenerates because it’s just “such an awesome place to work.”

Don’t do it. They sound shady as all hell and will hold the tuition reimbursement over your head for the entire time you work there, and will use it as an excuse to not promote you or give you a raise. Pardon the analogy, but it would be like letting your boyfriend pay for a boob job because yours aren’t big enough…

This is sort of why I wish LinkedIn would have some kind of anonymous rating of companies when they post jobs. My former hell hole of a workplace is hiring and I want to scream from the rooftops what a terrible place this is, and how how awful the owner/CEO/queen of everything is. But she’s got her bffs writing good…

Kansas City is awesome. Get over yourself.

This. The sizing is awful. I’m a solid 8 everywhere I shop. Trying on a size 8 at The Crew makes me want to go on a juice cleanse and never eat again. When I try on the 12s which technically “fit,” they do nothing for my figure — just makes me look frumpy and short legged. (I have a big butt, long legs and a short…

Off topic — but this is bothering me. I'm so happy a comment like "what" is promoted out of the grays and prominently displayed on the comments section of the post. I've been commenting on Jezebel since 2007 and ever since this new comment system was put in place, I read more and more asinine, pointless comments while…

I'm with @GingerIsAConstruct. Her anger at Don at her lawyers' office was projecting her own disgust and self hatred at the fact that she is a failing actress that needs a man to keep her afloat in a life she's grown accustomed to (she's definitely too good to, I dunno, get a roommate and wait tables during the day…

My roommate’s ex boyfriend did the same thing, but on a smaller scale. They were broken up but remained friends. He told her about a year after they broke up that he had stage 4 melanoma and only 6 months to live. He had her pick him up and drop him off at “doctor’s appointments” several times a week and she would…

I also found it rich that her E! News Costars took time out of their segment* to “defend” Guilana against the “haters” and tell people she does not have an eating disorder — when the whole fucking network makes money by announcing who looks “hot” “sexy” “amazing after baby” and who is letting themselves go, looks like…

I did something similar. I got a large tax return and my security deposit back from my old apartment. I'd lived outside my means for so long in said old apartment (read - San Francisco rent) that I went without other basic things for a long time. My clothes were old and ratty, everything I owned, including my car was…

Paying 60% of my take home pay in rent for 4 years.

I chose a "cool" industry that doesn't pay very well, because so many people will work for nothing/almost nothing "just to be a part of it." Which is really similar to aspiring to be a chef. I'm working at a job I'm insanely overqualified for because it's all I can find at the moment. I didn't see that side of the…

Coolio, it's def on my list! See also Columbus, OH, Kansas City, MO, Nashville, TN, Raleigh-Durham, NC. Coincidence most of these places are known for killer barbecue? I think not!

Oh no, I feel ya, and I wasn't trying to criticize. While I do feel bad for them that they are in a pretty dismal cycle of poverty, they make a lot of shitty personal decisions that somehow others in their same situation manage to not make. That is where my empathy ends.

I inadvertently find myself standing up for…

Same here — one whole side of my family is scattered throughout Texas, Florida and Alabama. I don't care that they're too poor to go to college. That's some yuppie shit. But they sure are fans of public assistance for themselves, just not for the brown folks living in the "ghetto." Also, that side of my family has a…

As I read this, my heart was racing to find out what happened to them and if they would make it. This piece was so beautifully written. Thank you!
