I have have some scars on my abdomen from laparoscopic surgery. I use the silicone sheets (which are more effective than creams) to flatten the raised line where the incision was made. Gentle pressure and massaging daily will also help flatten a scar. Luckily, the scar is neat and small but I still hate being reminded…

These styles are really cute, but I could never buy anything like this because of the totally weird tanlines. I get quite tanned from being outsides for 15 minutes. And then tanlines last well into November.

How funny! It's what I ended up finding after much looking and debating.

If you throw it in the garbage, it won't be in the water because it is going down the drain.

Thanks for the suggestion. I realize I have choices online or even at a beauty store, but if I can't walk into a store and pick out a product, that's a huge gap in consumer choice. Obviously the most convenient place to get soap is your local drugstore. Personally I think I need a scrub and a washcloth doesn't have…

Just the thought of accumulating a whole lot of products you don't really love freaks me out! I am so minimalist about my bathroom clutter.

As a woman in a relationship with a woman, I love hearing about the little domestic habits of queer women. Sharing clothes and make up are a huge perk to loving ladies. :)

There are moves to make them illegal in some cities, like NYC!

I was in CVS the other day and every facial scrub had microbeads! I was aware that this was an environmental issue, but I also know that "apricot" scrubs and other physical exfoliants are bad for your skin. What a dilemma!

A nice alternative to these subscription services—which you can never seem to remember to cancel anyway!—are the value sets from Sephora. The makeup mecca releases limited edition value sets with focus on skin or lips or nails. I don't use much makeup but I love fancy skincare products. I get the skincare sampler and…

I'm with you. It's so grating to me.

No worries. The show is a disaster.

The show is apparently a disaster.

How does that not end up looking cakey though?

Have you looked at all the Anastasia pencils? They carry such a huge range of dark pencils that are not quite black but a deep ash brown. I have very dark brows and use the dark brown. I have also had a lot of success with a powder and angled brush. You may have an easier time matching your color with an ashy, cool…

These graphics are the tits!

People are interested in "real" sexual experience. This is why "amateur" porn is so popular—depictions of real sex with real people are hot and titillating. Have you ever sexted with someone and wondered why they would like to see pics of your body when they can google boobs? It's a deeply ingrained lust for…

Uniqlo heattech does not compete with wool though. Wool blends are much warmer than any of their products. The heat tech is only tested effective against ordinary cotton. Cashmere and wool are the warmest textiles.

Have you considered giving your partner a hall pass, where he can have sexual experiences with other people? If you view sex as an animal urge, detached from emotions, this may be a good option that would make you both happy. You can remain socially monogamous while both having your sexual needs met.

I certainly believe that cheerleaders deserve good compensation and benefit for the work that they do. Hollywood actresses are compensated very well for the work, including endorsements, that they do.
