Yay! I love that there’s a garden thread!

I had one of those a week ago! They are the worst, especially during allergy season. My skin has been so go lately but, of course, right before I’m heading on what will be a heavily-photographed vacation I get a bunch of random zits all over. Still have almost a weak to clear them up, but will have to be vigilant.

I recently started using L’Occitane’s shower oil and I loooove it (it’s also great for shaving). However, I had a free sample that’s running low and I don’t love the $25-40 price tag for the full sizes...

I think I was one of the people who recommended it to you originally?

“In terms of Debra Messing, I’ve got to think that there are other people who could do the job just as well or better. Maybe someone who doesn’t need a translator? Or maybe someone who does need a translator but is actually an expert in epidemiology? I doubt all these village chiefs she’s meeting with are influenced…

The photo ops are fine— I’m sure the org wants her to do them and probably even specifically told her to. But not bothering to name people is pretty crummy and objectifying. Why couldn’t she say, “This is <insert name here>, a female village chief!” Or even name the village?

I don’t think there’s a clear answer for that, because it depends what you define a ‘problem’ as. Maybe it’s not impacting your ability to function, go to work, have healthy social relationships, etc. However, it could possibly carry the risk of increasing your chances of it growing to a level that would impact one or…

Does anyone have any lesser known yoga brands they really like? I’m looking for tops, in particular, and prefer those that offer a little more coverage (some arm coverage, aren’t loose enough to flip up when I’m bending over, etc.). Maybe it’s because it’s summer, but I’m really only finding skimpy tank tops at the…

Try a different antiperspirant. I once worked a job where I was required to wear a white shirt in extremely hot weather with extreme sweating. I was horrified by the pit stains I’d never before produced despite my clinical strength deodorant. On a whim, I switched brands, (I think there was a sale). While it didn’t…

“We only have them because we were able to snag ‘em at a thrift store, but that says a lot about the longevity!!!”

Ugh, are we really going to have another cycle of hyper-feminized, menswear-inspired women’s workwear?

I posted the Boden Supersoft Seam Tee. It is the least sheer women’s white tee I’ve encountered in a solid 15 years.

Let’s trade dating profile advice (I’ve used both Tinder and Match, never got an actual date out of Match, have had many on Tinder):

I just came back from see The Lobster and picked up a large Lagunitas IPA to cap off my night.

Maybe she can go to therapy by herself? Even if it doesn’t help the marital problems, she can have a healthy place to vent?

Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation is amazing.

I just got a ton of new stuff! I’d been eyeing the Jeffree Start liquid liptstick for a while but never saw a color that really spoke to me enough to pull the trigger, but then he came out with Rose Matter and it’s perfect for me! It really does hold up well (I needed just a slight touchup after lunch) and best of…

I was in a really long relationship with a guy who was not-so-well-endowed, was angsty and self-conscious about it, and— while I’m not a size queen and am fine working with what god gave him— he made no effort to compensate to aid my pleasure. We’re talking many years of terrible sex (or no sex at all) and I had…
