If you're on the smaller side of women's shoe sizes, you can wear shoes in the junior section. They go up to junior size 6 (which is a women's size 7.5). Junior size = Women's Size - 1.5.

Hemming is a fairly easy fix in the alteration world. I can do a half-assed job of hemming a straight skirt. It's the taking in the waist or non-straight hems that stump me. And I find that can look really bad unless you really are a professional.

I absolutely adore tortilla soup. It's basically chicken soup with salsa and other stuff in it with tortilla chips on it. The texture of the slightly softening tortilla chips really works.

I plan out my outfit the night before. I look at weather and lay out all my clothing (including any undergarments). I used to spend a good 5-10 minutes every morning figuring out what to wear. I have a lot of clothing so I could never have a "uniform for work."

There was a blog about a woman who can sew. I think she bought a lot of big dresses and altered them? One a day, I believe, for a year? It looked ok on the picture, but I'm sure there were a few that looked horrible in real life.

They were popular at my private "rich white people" college too. It's the reason why I have 0 items from them. However, I have a friend who has some stuff from Vera Bradley.

I pretty much only go to Gap for their underwear and Fit line. I've only bought from the Fit line on super clearance, but the few items I have from there I really like.

Personally, I think the traditional tea bags you buy in a supermarket suck. The leaves are old and ground up.

It made her breasts look floppy. That's not a good look. Maybe a lower necklace would have helped.

I like it too. It's fun and the shoes went along with it. I'm not a fan of Sofia's ensemble though. The dress didn't really go with the shoes, and I think her lipstick was too dark.

The article I read says that the character's husband just dies. So it's OK. All of her children were legitimate.

I'm a huge fan of both Costco and Trader Joe's, but I consider them both to be specialty stores when it comes to food items. Both are great for nuts, dried fruits, and other specialty items. But my fresh fruit/vegetable buying has to be purchased elsewhere (mainly at Asian supermarkets).

A great value too! I think a big sheet cake (bigger than the standard supermarket size) is like $15, right? I like the Costco sheet cakes because they seem to be less sweet than other supermarket sheet cakes.

This was for a movie that came out in 1999, Three Kings. While email definitely existed, we didn't have a lot of portable devices to view them. It was probably easier to write/type a letter and give it to him personally.

There is entirely too much TV Laoghaire over book Laoghaire. (But maybe it's because I don't remember many details of each book.) The actress is quite good. The plot itself was good, but I really don't like the character. And the TV version is worse and there is more of her.

Oh, definitely. He also didn't call the women who killed her child out either. I highly doubt he believes in fairies or fairy changelings. He very much acknowledged it was a thing, and the baby that was killed was not her real baby, but a "fairy changeling." His defense was, yes the changeling died, but at least it…

I was under the impression that they weren't going to re-cast. The actors do look like they're in their 30s (book 1 covers them in their 20s). I could reluctantly buy them in their early to mid 40s. I actually like the main two, so I hope they do some slight makeup.

I'm still on Book 5, and I'm basically only reading it because I wanted to enjoy the series fully. (I read two of the books before Season 1 started.) I actually read half of Book 1 many years ago, but it was so long. Each book is still very long, and I find everyone to be too wordy. While I enjoy reading them overall,…

Just a band full of xylophones?

Tuition has basically doubled in 10 years at my alma mater too. (I graduated 10+ years ago.)
