Am I the only one who is meh about coconut oil? It does nothing for me but allows me to watch my skin get drier and drier and sometimes if I use enough, irritated and red and bumpy because it’s so dry.

I have really found this to be super hydrating on my ridiculously dry skin (I don’t have eczema...but my skin suffers badly in northern winters):

I believe I read another article that said the deer was observed for a couple days and no mother arrived.

WTF.

Mr. Rogers did offer us comfort also after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. What a wonderful, kind man...

I love Paula’s Choice so very much. Her antioxidant serum did break me out like no one’s business, but the rest of her recs and products have been top notch. That clinical facial moisturizer she came out with was the only reason I was able to keep using retinol this past winter.

I only use sunscreen containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide on my face, every day... It doesn’t aggravate my acne-prone skin and the data seem to indicate it works effectively. The one I use is a little tinted to avoid that white cast. No nano particles, either!

Oh man. I discovered I have one of those, too. I’ve got a of of tiny, flat moles to begin with and a few larger (stable), but this is the only one in a ridiculous place. Did you get it removed? Was the whole experience of mole hunting terrible? I’m am idiot honestly... I get Brazilian waxes not sure why a game of…

I was thirteen, had thick, curly hair, and was armed with only a curling iron because my mother wouldn’t buy me a blow dryer or a straightening iron. I only had Aqua Net and Dep gel. I made the hair stylist cut layers and pretty much fried my surprisingly resilient hair in an attempt to have The Rachel.

The cuticle is dead tissue. What some push back and cut is the eponychium, which is live tissue and introduces the risk of infection. Nail techs shouldn’t be excising living tissue.

I 100% agree with this suggestion as I only use those two products for concealer and tend to have a dry under-eye area. Boi-ing is fantastic for covering blemishes elsewhere, though. I apply with a (clean!) finger and gently blend with the heat from my fingertip.

My mother had to do this with her mother, and her two siblings, also after her father died. He was the only one who gave her a reason to stay connected. I know it was painful, but she is also so much happier.

I also had this problem. Tall and weedy in elementary and middle school meant my shorts were never “long enough.” My mother had to buy me boy’s shorts so I was “decent” to play in our middle school golf league. Good. Times.

I am a sad Eeyore and expect disappointment, but I would loooove if it ended up as a Netflix show. Then there would be rejoicing, and much binge-watching.

I loved how hard she kicked ass in that episode and her moment with Thompson on the plane back was great, too. I will be really sad if it isn’t renewed for a second season. But I’m preparing myself for disappointment. :-(

Yep. Let me add another sighhhh ughhhh to the large pile of sighs and ughs.

It kind of puts a sour taste in one’s mouth. Like, I’ll never be able to forget I heard that they said that and it will come up in my brain when I see the film/characters and that makes me sad.

Related, kind of - I love that ep of Agent Carter where Dum Dum Dugan asks Peggy what Cap would do if he left his best girl behind...and Peggy says...“He would say, do as Peggy says.”

It’s called “elderspeak” and it is a real and potentially damaging thing. There is some evidence to suggest it can cause the adult in question to actually become MORE dependent for care needs.

I have to ask... See my comment below... Did you get paid in an old paper sack? This is, sadly, a serious question.
