Wow I had no idea. No wonder it always felt awful to even peruse the site.

Anna, fyi when I clicked on link for "transformations" I go to a page telling me that "users have classified this link as offensive". Is that Chive's doing?

The Chive photos are basically thinspo. The "Mind the Gap" posts are literally of thigh gaps. I invariably look at those and progress to feeling like shit.

As someone who does enjoy looking at photos of women from time to time, looking at chive photos are a mind fuck and really makes me take inventory of who I am as a person. At first it like oh these are self submitted so that's good, but then you realize that so many of the photos are probably of underage girls and are…

I really like that! I am just not sure it will look right on my face but I will definitely try it. You look beauuuutiful here!

Oh and I totally use Aquaphor on my face and hands at night if I feel the need to lock in moisture. It also has helped alleviates stys and breakouts on my face. I think because it is hydrophobic it will pull stuff out of your face. I love it. The only bad side I've noticed is that it might make my under eye area look…

I've had some issues with yeast infections and can't use regular soap on my vulva because of it. Baby soap has been a lifesaver. I can wash, feel clean, and not get an infection. I haven't compared, but if I had to guess, those soap products packaged as "pH balanced" probably are comprised of the same ingredients.

This is not surprising. She has had issues with understanding and articulating sensitive issues before (Nina Simone). Even in this anything but nuanced case, it is like beating your head against a wall getting her to understand.

Yeah I think the letter writer is limited because its long distance, right? But in general I would say the best thing to do would be to try to cultivate a friendship between your partner and your friend. If it still doesn't work then you have more talking to do.

Step two: If you struggle listening to gut, remember, there are no rewards for enduring something just because "someone needs you". Applies to parents, siblings, cousins, boyfriends, lovers....pretty much all relationships.

That would be so helpful. Something I learned the hard way: just because you identify, accept and move on from redflags, doesn't mean that the other party will appreciate it in the long run. One day the shit will hit the fan and then you will wonder why you ever thought that the red flags would go away.

fuck that guy for the speaker phone use.

these posts. I can't decide if they are making me feel better or worse.

More pictures! :)

Hillary, you went to UC Davis? I can only imagine the lack of hair supplies.

UGH, I used to like her!!!!

I love this look can't wait to try. Its just the right amount of umph.

when you do the outer third bottom liner, do you use another color to extend to the inner corner? It looks great in the pic , but I am not sure I can pull this off and I really want to (jk I will pull it off just need an excuse to try). Anyways, how does it look straight on?

I mean, why can't we just have it all!

For once I can say this about some young famous person doing drugs: her mother knows for sure what she did, and there is no way in hell that she is going to get away with this. Shes has got quite a support system there with Mrs. Yolanda Foster.
