A cookie?! Newton’s are fruit and cake!

umm.. where do other people keep their fruit? because mine is definitely in a bowl on the counter (and occasionally on a cake stand).

They would definitely have a meal in which they taste tested all of the flavors. Lorelei would end up liking some weird new flavor and Rory would very seriously declare that strawberry (with no icing) is the only legit Pop Tart.

twizzlers taste like cheap candle wax. red vines are tender strings of happiness.

and just think of the fruit flies!

For realsies, though, I actually think the show’s treatment of food/women eating is quite problematic.

The thing that bothers me the most is that you can’t just open a box and absent-mindedly pour out too many Pop Tarts: you have to very intentionally unwrap each pair! You have to stop and take each and every wrapper off to accumulate such a pile o’ tarts, the wrappers that are very specifically present to preserve the…

it’s too frightening to star this...

Oooh, that’s a good choice. Pretty close to how I pictured him. I could also see Victor Garber— I think he’d really pull off being just likable enough.

I read it this past spring. It’s great, but there were a few moments that felt a little too real/possible and I had to put it down for a day or two.

After a few disappointing months of Kloverbox, I impulse-subscribed to the DermStore box for a change. I think I’ll still get July’s, which looked pretty great, so I’m excited (though I do feel like this subscription is a little less ‘fun’?). I did like the variety of products in Kloverbox instead of just skincare…

twice! unforgivable.

I’ve had great luck with Elie Tahari (quite good quality) and Tahari (sold quality— lots of the same styles but mostly synthetic fabics) at saksoff5th.com and lastcall.com. They have physical stores, too, but I always find it easier to shop online (better selection, easier to browse). They always have a ton of pants…

Not sure those are right for these spots? I was wondering if they might actually be allergy related rather than normal zits. They popped up super fast one day but then ‘deflated’ and now are just small little spots that need to heal. As long as I don’t scratch at them (there may have been some initial scratching) I…

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?
