I shall have to investigate this instagram! Thanks :)

I do like the colours, but am so bummed about the blending. I bought one for my stepdaughter as a surprise for her exams, but I’m debating returning and getting her something else now!

They are indeed loose - but to be fair, I found that with the Modern Renaissance palette as well, so I was prepared for that. You just need to be light with your brush, but I haven’t had any issues with fallout once it’s on my eyelids. That being said, I would not travel with it, as I don’t think it would survive the…

We were together five years before we got married. We both agreed we wanted the official commitment. I know at the end of the day, it’s just a piece of paper, but it really did mean something for us. For me, calling him my husband signifies a sense of permanence that partner did not.

I bought Anatasia Beverly Hills’ Subculture palette....and I have mixed feelings. I ADORE the Modern Renaissance palette, so I had high hopes.

I absolutely hate read this series. I’m glad I’m not alone!

Respectfully disagree. She was not in any danger, and she had no reason to expect she was - she herself makes it clear that it’s a healthy and loving relationship and he has never shown any indication of violence. It’s not self defence if you’re not actually in need of defending.

I am truly sorry you’ve experienced abuse. No sarcasm. I’m certainly not second guessing YOUR victimhood - but I’m sure as hell going to take issue with the notion that the author is a victim of anything.

We will have to agree to disagree here. I think the proportion of the defense is absolutely critical to the situation and can’t be evaluated independently. I’ll give you that her feelings don’t undermine a right to a defense—that’s a point I hadn’t considered. If she had, however, stabbed him with a fork or a knife,…

I would guess he was plucking at her skin? I’ve never heard it either!

I agree. I wouldn’t class dumping a glass of water on someone’s head actual abuse, but hell, she could have blinded the guy. Definitely crossed a line, and most worryingly, she doesn’t seem to have done any introspection about her actions at all.

That’s awful, I’m so sorry—may I suggest posting on Saturday night social later tonight? Folks there are usually very willing to help, and there’s likely to be some fellow parents of special needs kids!

I think a discussion about how hitting a partner in the face with a hot plate—which could’ve seriously injured him—is also abusive is missing from this article....

I’d take President Biff if he’s willing!

I think I had that wallet in high school as well! Was it fabric?

Same! My husband thinks I’m so weird, but I immediately need to down a full glass of cold water.

That’s a rough couple of weeks. Hope you are doing a bit better now!

I do miss smoking for that very reason. Few smokes are more satisfying than a post-sex one.

Ugh agreed! Tried it once, got so dizzy with the humidity from the hot water that I almost threw up, and had to sprint out of the bathroom to avoid fainting and/or vomiting on my husband. Never again!

Without any sarcasm, I’m really glad this is going to benefit someone over the age of 20! I’ll think of you when I start spotting them in stores and swearing :)
