This. I had a bitch of a time getting an IUD mid-year last year. My OB/GYN wanted me to put up the money and get reimbursed. I finally found a clinic in our medical center in Houston who actually utilized my insurance did the whole thing at no cost. No co-pay for the insertion or follow up visit, and no questioning my…

I was in West Virginia. Not like Deep South coal country, but very small town. Not a lot of folks move far away. Houston is in many ways very different (first lesbian mayor of a major US city) and in some ways horrifyingly similar (HERO *cough cough*).

I got that too about 8 years ago from my mom. I moved to New Orleans to do rebuilding after Katrina and then to Houston for a year of volunteer service.

My parents too. Or at least, for sure, my dad. Which sucks. Both of my parents once said they thought Ben Carson was “smart” too. Thank goodness I live very far away so this was a phone call and they could not see my gaping mouth and horrified eyes.

I’m originally from West Virginia, but have lived in Houston for more than 8 years now. I’ve been to some reeeeeeeally rural, Deliverance-level places in WV in my life, and Vidor terrifies me.

I don’t like pen/pencil eyeliner either. My foolproof, no smudge winged eyes are created with the holy trinity of: Urban Decay eyelid primer, Makeup Forever Aqua Black gel eyeliner, and the MAC 208 angled brow brush. Eyeliner and mascara are all the makeup that I do. I discovered this trio about 5 years ago, and I…

I’m with you - I was insanely disturbed after reading this and really bewildered that the general response has tended to be “lol, hilarious story!”

I had to stop hormonal birth control pills abruptly this summer when I was diagnosed with a DVT in my right calf. I got the Paragard inserted almost two months ago, and I love it.

Yes. When I discovered them in an arts market in New Orleans, just tipsy enough at 1 am, I went apeshit. The woman who makes them is on Instagram and etsy - LeroysPlace. I want these next:

I own this product in this exact color and I will attest to this product’s amazingness. It stays no matter what, and looks great with my pale & freckled skin, green eyes, and brown hair with bangs.

I love those earrings. I live to mismatch earrings between my four earholes: two dangles on one side; two studs on the other! Four dangles, none of which match!

I’m considering seeing a dermatologist as some other health issues die down and I now have a budget again. Long story short: I was diagnosed with a blood clot this summer, quit hormonal birth control (which I had been on for 10 years), and had major work stress on top of all the other not so fun times. I was recently…

Word - I took Accutane in college for 6 months, and my skin was AMAZING for about 8 years after. Then the oil came back, and I’m now dealing with acne again. I was having crazy cystic acne along my jaw line, but that has let up some since stopping hormonal birth control. Now, I have a mix of cystic acne/random small…

I hate makeup remover like I hate the Center for Medical Progress, so I bought this cleaner on your recommendation this past weekend, and holy fucking shit! It’s a game changer!

Beautifully said!!

Agreed - I saw this some weeks ago, and was really confused about the black dot and what it meant - was it for victims to signify that they were being abused, or was it more akin to wearing pink for breast cancer awareness in October? If it was for the first reason, with the post being viral, how did it not endanger…

I cannot give this enough stars.

Yes. I do this shit at home, on Sunday nights after my bf leaves for the weekend while watching Gilmore Girls. Even if no one ever compliments me, I feel pretty every time I catch a glance, or when I watch myself typing.

Word. And to me, people like the Duggars and Kim Davis are so much worse than the Kardashians.

I second this and also wish I could star this a million times. That honey butter chicken biscuit is a magical son of a bitch.
