IT WAS. Cut your age in half and add seven that’s the rule.

I feel you. I was in excellent shape through college until I got a boring desk job and learned to cook and all of a sudden I was normal. Absolutely not fat, but no longer skinny or athletic-looking. I got married just a couple months ago and I did not do a darn thing to change my body leading up to the wedding.…

Thank you for the suggestion! I’m going to do exactly that if I get another boring/weird color product in November. I did get a purple eyeliner, which was great in theory, but the particular shade was just wrong for me. At least they tried?

Alternately, create an original Halloween costume by combining other Halloween costumes on the national trending list. Then when I run into a Steampunk Shark or a 1980s Rabbit, I can be all like “’Sup, fellow Lifehacker”.

I was so bummed that you’d stopped reviewing ipsy (understandably! just bad timing for me!) soon after I started subscribing because it was fun for the month or so of overlap to see what others got in their boxes and how different some of the products were. I am pretty basic and set in my makeup and care routines so I…

When we got our first pet, 7-year-old me had narrowed it down to two kitties and my mom said, I swear to god, “Let’s get the gold one, it’ll match the house!”

Thanks, that’s a good point. What I can foresee happening is keeping the Gold until we’re caught up with the PS4 games we’ve been eyeing and switch to Plus when we start wanting more titles as they pop up on that service. Mostly I was wondering if there was some benefit I’m not thinking of to have both other than…

What a timely article! My husband and I are gearing up to buy a new system and at this point we’re pretty set on a PS4. Right now we have an Xbox 360 as our primary console and a old little PS2 chugging along on the side for all my old Final Fantasy games.

I was a teenage trick-or-treater. I love Halloween! In 7th or 8th grade my friends and I dressed up as all the faeries from Neopets. When we were in high school, my best friend and I took her little nephew out just so we had an excuse to trick-or-treat despite being too old for it. I can’t wait to have a kid myself…

Personally, I would give it more time, not because people can’t grow and change, but because it takes more than a few months to do so. I know several couples, myself included, that have had successful relationships with someone it din’t work out with in the past. But a big mark of that, in my limited experience, is…

This is honestly one of my biggest relationship fears. I’ve always wanted to have kids, and I believe I have a made a firm decision with my spouse to have one and only one. But I still worry that I’ll regret it, that it will put some irreparable pressure on our relationship that never resolves. Part of this stems from…

Off topic but all I can see when I look at Jennifer Lawrence’s dress is this

I actually had a chance to ride one of these things and I don’t see why it wouldn’t be treated the same as a skateboard, since that’s essentially what it is. A girl at my office brought hers in, we have a large office with an open floor plan, so we spent last Friday taking turns rolling around the office. It was…

I’ve ridden one - it’s basically a sideways (frontways?) skateboard. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be treated the same as a skateboard or scooter.

Woohoo this is my alma mater! (Bard, not prison - or Harvard.) It’s always nice to see something positive in the news and Bard does have some very cool programs. Last I think there was a big new thing in the news was when they introduced an application-by-essay in lieu of the standard GPA/test score/why I’m special…

Those two have the craziest chemistry! I rewatched season 1 just for them! And that scene in the House of the Undying when he has her baby in the afterlife or whatever gahhhhh!

Your words are beautiful, true, and amazing. This is absolutely how I feel. My best friends have a good decade of loving me they put in before my husband did. He’ll catch up, but he’ll never replace that.

I’m an adult that is not picky, but I do have a very sensitive gag reflex. When I’m eating meals I really really like and I think about the texture in my mouth too much while chewing I will start gagging. My stomach turns just thinking about eating a food I don’t like. And again, not a picky eater, but I really can’t…

I’ve always said the measure of true quality of life is the toilet paper at one’s home/office/establishment.
