THIS. Sometimes I like talking with my stylist, and sometimes I tell her I’m just exhausted and want a head massage without conversation, and she’s super sweet about it all the time. Thank God for Aveda salons... I can’t go anywhere else because of the head/hand massage and mini facial.

In college, I took a children’s lit class and did my final research paper on feminism and Nancy Drew. It’s juuuuust long enough ago that I don’t actually remember what I wrote, but I DO remember that choosing Nancy Drew as my topic was pretty much just an excuse to spend dozens upon dozens of hours rereading the…

The death of Gilbert Blythe sent me to bed early last night. Isn't it strange that you can be so invested in characters from your youth?

Sometimes I write words with the hair my girlfriend leaves stuck to the side of the shower.

It's better to be proud of being Irish than to be proud of being Bill Maher.

I had a very similar reaction. But then again, that's the kind of reaction I get whenever I see the words "watch" + "Dr. Phil" in a headline.

I like bacon. I do. But sausage is the superior breakfast meat. Boom.

I'm still mad at him for being mean to Ann Curry.

I'm a fairly consistent order guy when I find a thing I like. So on my way in to a new job and find a Jack-in-the-Box down the street. I order a #17 with no egg and a soda (I like my caffeine cold) and head on in. I continue this daily for about 2 weeks (spare me the outrage, Jack rules) and one day I roll up, take my…

If there was a test available that worked with 100% accuracy and it showed that I was going to develop Alzheimer's in the next 10 to 20 years I would immediately start smoking again in an effort to die from cancer before I started losing my sense of self. It might be more painful but the thought of being effectively…

Sorry but Gwyneth is super pretty and I wish I looked exactly like her. I can't hate her no matter how much some people try to say I should.

Can we talk about spanx? I don't wear them because aint nobody got time for that. But a friend of mine went through a spanx craze, only to abandon them, because she felt that they squished her body fat in such a way that she looked weirdly tube-like. She called it the 'german sausage' effect. And after she pointed…

I'm thinking how I would feel if Margaret Cho was instead Idris Elba pretending to be a gang member or a terrorist...it's fine for anyone to hate those two groups of people, but the fact that there are such limited roles for POC and many of those roles consist of the "scary, violent, aggressive POC" trope, is racist.…

Ellie, I don't really know you yet as you're new to Jezebel, but if you're anti-Amal's gloves WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM.

When I was younger I used to take tons of pictures of whatever place we were visiting. At one point my dad was like, "Kara, nobody really wants to see pictures of that stuff without a person in them."

This is probably an appropriate article to discuss my latest peeve: I used to enjoy vacation pics on my Facebook. Seeing my friends enjoy themselves with locals, trying new activities and just having a great time. Now with the Instagram age you get all scenery, no people, no liveliness. I can easily find gorgeous pics…

My idiot husband informed his mother that we had been thinking of having another child (like not immediately, just that we could possibly not be one and done).
