I’m a non-religious, single, queer, brown woman.

From my brief stint in the UK, the electric kettles and hair dryers worked faster than those in the US. It was great.

I saw this and immediately deleted my app and account.

The Korean double cleanse method actually works really well for capsaicin residue. As someone who cooks spicy delicious poison on a daily basis without gloves, here’s how I don’t kill myself removing my contacts each night.

I did exactly this in my last negotiation! It was awesome!

I would add another addendum:

Definitely! They’ve got the sizes already. :)

Note: If you are buying a fancy fuzzy logic rice cooker and mostly make long grain rice, size up and make sure you buy a cooker with a brown rice setting.

I tell people I have Hermione hair.

I keep a pretty strict 12 hour medication schedule using a similar alarm set around bedtime and just before I leave for the office. I would highly recommend setting an alarm like this if you take any medication. A lot of medication has soporific effects and making sure you take your medication on time will keep side…

Aww man I wish I read this before I went to London. I might have gone totally bonkers at Liberty with all the fabric. In my defense, I will probably never be able to buy liberty at 50% off ever again.

I do this too and I’m a millennial.

My allergist explained that when you leave the natural habitat of the species you are allergic to your symptoms can go away. I wish the answer was move to Hawaii.

I do a combination of the last 3. I have two banks with 2 accounts each. One bank is a credit union that is hard to access offline for cash. At each bank is a checking and savings account. The savings accounts can only be accessed 2 times a month (Key!). My workplace allows for up to 10 direct deposit accounts…

In my first meeting at my current office, they actually asked me to take minutes. I’m on the technology team and the Front End Web Developer/QA Engineer with a background in data analysis. All because I was the youngest woman in the office. Drove me crazy... I was like “That’s not in my job description...” and…
