Plus, conversations with employees about personal grooming/attire are the worst, most awkward conversations. Why would you want to have one unless there was something truly egregious?

A lot of places have a general no hats/head coverings of any kind rule (usually with exceptions for religious head coverings). It’s easier to say none at all than to pick and choose. The places I worked cited the reasons as not wanting anything obstructing your face (think baseball/brimmed hats) and not wanting it to

I know that black hairstyles are often automatically viewed as ‘unprofessional’ or ‘ghetto’ and I’m not all that surprised that a manager would do something like this... but even given that, I really don’t get their problem with this particular style. Those are some pretty clean, minimal, on-trend braids. They seem

I really like Pixi Correcting Concealer. The peachy to helps neutralize my blue/purple circles and it’s supposed to be a good dupe for pricier brands. And don’t forget the area right by your inner eye corner in addition to under your eyes. I top this with Makeup Forever Lift Concealer (this is a lighter formula that

I just saw this and had the same thought: I thought they would address it as a quirk of her character, like she was vain about her double chin and obsessively covered it and was arrogant enough to believe that she was successfully disguising it... but it was weird that it was never brought up... as if they were

EVERYTHING. Make everything in it. (except really acidic things...)

This probably isn’t very helpful, but I recently had a sort of revelation where I figured out that the things I was procrastinating on just didn’t take that long. It only take me 3 minutes to put away the dishes. It only take 20 to clean my room. It only takes 5 minutes to sort my laundry and get it going in the wash

You have group projects in college? That is cruel and unusual. And teachers/professors who can’t tell who did most of the work and grade accordingly are the worst.

I went to Sephora today to swatch some things I was thinking about getting with the sale. I don’t know why I bother going in person. They recently remodeled and the new layout is just so terrible and creates even more congestion and there are even fewer stations with tissues/makeup removers (none at all on one side of

A lot of the ‘promposals’ I witnessed were friends asking each other. Zero sexpectations.

Maybe don’t form an opinion on how an entire country views something based on movies/tv shows that have a vested interest in making it look like a huge deal for their own success?

What?! Teens are getting really excited about something that isn’t at all important in the long run? Well, I never!

These were already a thing when I was in high school 15 years ago. The guys who did it enjoyed it: some because of the attention/exhibitionism but many just actually enjoyed all of the planning and preparation and excitement (dudes can get excited about prom, too!). The girls being asked were generally already in

They were a common occurrence when I was in high school 15 years ago. Certainly not *everyone* did them, but there were always a handful of quite elaborate ones and many more that were smaller in scale but still a lot more than ‘hey, wanna go to prom?’ My date asked me by hiding in the trunk of my car and jumping out

Yes, because our generation is definitely the first to be a bit overdramatic about reaching over-hyped age milestones...

I use the Resist Super Antioxidant Serum (darker blue bottle) and I loooove it. I think it’s a thicker formula so it’s better for drier skin. I use it at night after cleansing and my skin looks and feels so good when I wake up.

Eh, it really doesn’t take that long to get enough Vitamin D and it doesn’t need to be on places that are prone to showing aging like your face and hands. Personally, I like to let my pasty legs or back be responsible for the vitamin D harvest. There are also plenty of foods high in vitamin D.

I would slap on some sunscreen or moisturizer with spf if you’re going to be outside for an hour, especially if it’s daily. That’s the kind of sun exposure that won’t cause immediate issues, but can build up over time to cause skin damage and aging. And it’s much easier to prevent now than to try to fix later.

A crushed up aspirin with a few drops of water is an awesome spot treatment for a large, swollen pimple. It doesn’t really have any ‘healing’ properties, (I wouldn’t use it over several days or post-popping) but if you need to get the swelling and redness down for a special event it works wonders. I just pat on the

Just an FYI, most people don’t use enough foundation (especially all over their face) to get the full protection of the spf. Probably not a big deal if you’re inside all day, but definitely something to be aware of.
