I agree, the power dynamic aspect really concerns me. Just because they're both adults, it doesn't mean this is an okay relationship to have.

Not when you have naturally curly hair. It dries it out. I get my hair wet daily to get the curls going, but even shampoos and conditioners designed for hair like mine can dry it out, leading to increased breakage and more frizz.

I have to admit, (and I'm a white person) the thought that people would take a shower more than once a day baffles me. I mean, isn't once a day enough? I exercise pretty much daily, so I shower after I exercise and I'm good to go... and people always tell me I smell good (even when I'm not wearing perfume.) I'm…

I was raised Buddhist. I don't know how different Mala beads are from the juzu beads we use, but they cost a lot less, and some people just make their own, using kits. They're not hard to make at all. It's like stringing beads when you're in kindergarten. In fact, some find it meditative to make their own.

I love you!

Two things:

I think the reason is because so many women still drink the kool-aid. They still buy into the limited concept of beauty that has been shoved in our faces, and they've been socialized to criticize each other by appearance because women are taught that if they aren't pretty, they aren't worthy of love.

I once owned a dress that had similar black and white stripes. Only one person ever complained, but she was someone who had atendency to say some tactless things to me. Her major complaint about the dress was that sometimes the stripes wouldn't fall evenly over my boobs. There were times I got really irritated and…

Sunday in the Park with George!" Squee! Theater geeks, unite!

Bernadette Peters is a major favorite of mine. My mom has a DVD of the original Broadway cast performance of Into the Woods. I watched it yesterday with a friend of mine who had only seen the new movie and pointed out all the missing sounds and characters... why, oh why did they take out the reprise of "Agony," and…

I wish we got the black forest TimTams here in the U.S. All I seem to find are the chocolate ones and the caramel ones. I want my black forest TimTams, darn it! Darn it to heck!

I also want black forest Cadbury's bars.

Damn it, I need to move to New Zealand.

Quick advice from a former sex ed teacher: still use condoms, please. Just like the pill, IUDs do not protect from STDs. Also, as there is still a margin of error with an IUD, using a condom can help cover that small percentage of possibly getting pregnant.

I really must know who this specific Gaston is. I mean, really, he's incredibly perfect. I now understand why the 4 year old girl I babysit has a crush on him. He really is something special.

That, and most kinds of HIV can be pretty harmless. Anywhere between 75-90% of women have HPV, and the majority of them don't know it unless they get regular pap smears. The body can fight off most strains of HPV by itself with little to no lasting harm.

Um, is he Christian Grey? He sounds like he has control issues.

Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

Yeah, it's hard for me to look at this and not see him as a child whose immature antics annoy even the most mild mannered in Hollywood. Nothing attractive about that.

I don't have Celiac, but I have had an allergy test that said I'm sensitive to gluten. I hardly experience what someone who has Celiac goes through (my reaction is to sneeze if I have eaten too much gluten, not a major problem.) That said, I'm smart enough to figure out what to eat without being obnoxious about it…

My mom grew up in the avenues. Avenues represent! :)

The thing that's so dumb about this is he has openly posted a threat. Isn't that a great way to shoot himself in the foot legally? If he actually does take action to harm a woman, a legal team can just use this as evidence of premeditation pretty easily, I'd assume.

The "Herman Woman Haters Club" anyone? I feel like we need some pictures of the Little Rascals.
