I was really into makeup when I was in high school in the 80's. But I was also sorta goth but not entirely. I am really pale but have pink undertones. When I wanted to look my best, I used my mom’s green redness concealer, then slathered on foundation and powder. I then topped it off with purple eyeshadow and…

I’m cooking beef short ribs tomorrow. I’ve never cooked them before and am looking for slow cooker recipes.

Both women and men grow up in a patriarchal system and internalize some subconscious bias. Just because some women do it too doesn’t mean it’s ok.

The Lion and the Cobra is still one of my favorite albums ever, even 30 years later.

I agree. There was a strong hint of sexism but everyone brsuhed it off with Sinead being a bit out there. U2/Bono were speaking out on social issues back then and everyone loved them for it.

I’m around the same age as Sinead O’Connor, and was also raised Catholic. When she ripped up the photo it was absolutely a sane and gutsy thing to do, albeit not great for her career.

I ordered Greylocke, Olmsted & Vaux and Hanami. I’m looking forward to trying them and will report back next weekend.

Aww - I love torties! Mine is 7 years old and has so much personality. She’s crazy but is also very loving and is BFF with my other cat.

get the Amlactin foot creme and put it on every night (and every mornign if you wear socks) It will get your feet in shape in no time!

I ordered some samples from PHLUR perfumes. I got sucked in by their website. Hopefully they will smell nice and not make me itch. I also picked up two more sticks of Dr Schmidt’s deodorant at TJ Maxx - I’m stockpiling so I don’t have to pay full price, and am also giving one stick to my BFF.

I’m married now, but had long spells where I didn’t date, partly because I work a lot and partly because I’m an introvert and like alone time. I was open about it and most guys really didn’t seem to care.

I was already in my late 20's when “Criminal” came out, but it was still hella triggering. It didn’t really help matters that my ex had dated a series of women who had a similar look to Fiona Apple. I love her music but tended not to watch her videos for this reason.

That’s one of those songs where the first time I heard it, I felt like I’d heard it before in a dream

Well, the 80's did have some awful hair and REALLY horrid eyeglass styles, but I think we associate previous styles with older people, perhaps because people like to continue wearing hairstyles from their youth. I have this response with most older movies, whether they’re from the 50's, 60's, 70's or 80's. (I’m 48 so…

I’m 48. I’ve lost 30 lbs since January with portion control/calorie counting. I was prediabetic and started seeing a nutritionist with the dual goals of losing weight and getting my blood sugar down. Strangely enough, she didn’t put me on anything ultra low carb, although it’s all about low fat proteins and low…

I’m doing better than a few weeks ago - my Dr upped my thyroid med prescription slightly a week and a half ago, and my insomnia went away. As a result, my mood improved substantially. My morning blood glucose levels have dropped too, but I don’t know if that’s related or not.

I don’t have a Mirena, but I still gained weight around my stomach. Perimenopause sucks!

I’ve had a paraguard for the last 8 years. My periods are heavier but other than that it’s great.

This is totally off topic but when I went to BJ’s (New England chain of warehouse stores) they had Skinny Girl underwear. It was generic looking cotton underwear and camisoles. Like, I can understand Bethanny’s branding and motivation to sell cocktails and margarita mix, but I cannot fathom it being much of a selling…

That subreddit makes me so happy! Thanks!
