Only the stupid ones straight up lie that something looks good when it doesn’t. Yes, they get commission, but that commission is subtracted from a future paycheck if/when you return it after you get home and realize that it’s actually not cute, (and with Nordstrom’s generous return policy that can happen months or…

Can’t we recast Hugh Grant instead??

Ugh, I know. It was so unexpected and seemed to be lost around Bowie’s death that I don’t think I processed it. In my ‘I’m famous and a guest on a talk show’ fantasy, (uh, we all have those... right?) he was often one of the other guests and I would ask him to quote to me ‘the air is full of spices!’

I was in Italy around that time several years ago. Florence was cold and everything closed rather early: wake up early and plan your day so you don’t waste the limited hours. It wasn’t very crowded at all, though. I just wandered right in to the Uffizi and Accademia with no advance tickets, (make sure to check out the…

This kind of attitude is rampant in retail and often just one outlet of general feelings of not being appreciated.

Nuts, applesauce cups, jerky (if you eat meat)

Beautylish is having their gift card special this weekend so I’m trying to stock up on some things I love and do some Christmas shopping! Having trouble deciding how splurgy I want to be...

On the chance that your breakouts are being caused or exacerbated by your skin becoming drier as you’ve aged, I have found that AHA exfoliants are the best for preventing breakouts on my dry, sensitive skin, (BHAs were too drying). Treating breakouts on dry skin is all about clearing away all those extra dead skin…

I generally agree, but I can understand the other point of view.

I’ve been thinking of doing resume-related post, and this seems like a good place, so here it goes: I’ve been in a job where I’ve been doing a lot of applicant screening, interviewing, and hiring lately. I never thought I was particularly good at writing cover letters or resumes before, but based on what I’m seeing, I…

Know that you have a right to feel frustrated and that doesn’t make you a bad person. I think sometimes in situations like these it’s easy to feel like you have to be unflinchingly supportive, that their feelings about sex are more valid that yours, and you just have to silently grin and bear it while…

I miss crocuses! Such a delight seeing them poke up in the spring.

“I go through these phases where I’m just like fuck it and I don’t date for months then I get bored and hit up an app or a bar and try to meet someone”

I love this color! My complexion has cooled a bit over the past couple years and, while I’ve had to abandon some of my other warmer-hued makeup, this color still looks great on me!

Are you saying that her culture might cause her not to mind or even embrace the overshadowing because of the importance it places on marriage? Not an implausible thought, but China is one of the biggest Olympic competitors in the world. They place a ton of importance (and pressure) on their athletes, with…

If by ‘hurt’ you mean ‘interested in discussing the larger cultural implications of a current event’ and by ‘miserable’ you mean ‘capable of analytical thought’ then yes.

Most guys who do this sort of thing aren’t malicious. Many get caught up in all of the ‘shoulds’ of proposals that have been absorbed via Instagram/Facebook/tv/movies/magazines/the wedding industry. I’ve known decent guys who’ve been tempted by that path instead of something better suited to their particular…

Even if it is the biggest deal in China and for her personally doesn’t mean she’d automatically like this: just because one achievement is more important than another doesn’t mean you want the ‘lesser’ achievement completely overshadowed.

Projecting? Nah, bro. We’re actually all just jealous that we didn’t get proposed to.
