Granite and Quartz are pretty equal strength and stain resistance wise as far as I know. I think it is just comes down to preference, and Granite became more popular so more people are familiar with it. Now why anyone would choose Corian aside from budget reasons idk. And marble is a bad idea for kitchens since it is…

Oh god, Trading Spaces was actually rage inducing. I will never forget when Hildi (I think?) covered an entire room in cardboard. I think there was even cardboard furniture. I felt so bad for most people on that show, it was either complete shit or you knew it was going to fall apart after a month of use.

Right? I find about 90% of hosts on these home improvement shows insufferable, but he is really just delightful and so cute.

Supposedly they film both "we're going to love it/list endings", and producers choose what makes the final cut so the couple may very well end up moving to a bigger house!

Income Property is by far the superior Canadian home improvement show. I learned in Canada people call radiators "rads" and the host is pretty cute and not horribly annoying like the two fools on LIOLI.

Completely agree. Love It or List is so fake and formulaic. It is by far the worst of HGTV shows, and of Canadian based home improvement shows.

How can you criticize House Hunters for being fake when Love It or List easily creates the MOST fake drama and obviously staged problems of any HGTV show?

I feel like they could have found cuter nude underwear, but otherwise this whole look is fantastic.

I think it is just we haven't a stylish first lady in a while so you don't remember, but the wardrobe of a first lady is a very commonly discussed thing in recent history. I always remember learning Rosalynn Carter caused an outrage when she wore a gown she had already worn to her husband inaugural ball because she…

This is how I feel. She is obviously very attractive, but I never look at her and think she is stunning/perfect. There are definitely actresses that I find to be more beautiful.

A bunch of my HS students were talking about Kylie in class the other day and they are all convinced she has had work done to her face. I really don't know much about the younger set of kardashian/jenners but apparently she looks very different especially her lips? according to them.

yes, royal families are usually intermarried historically, i don't know how much it still goes on today. queen elizabeth and philip are second cousins once removed.

Same, I am a HS teacher and I have never had the desire to have kids. I love teaching and working with my students, but I am not even remotely maternal and just don't have even the slightest desire to give up my freedom. Some people may say that is selfish, but it is far more selfish to have kids because that is what…

When I started watching the french show les revenants/the returned I was struck by how normal looking everyone was. There are certainly attractive characters, but in such a regular non-hollywood way.

Same! The fake arguments and competition and on no water damage during our remodel!!!! is all too much and clearly done for tv. Plus I heard they end choice is not necessarily what the family actually chooses and the producers decide what decision will be aired.

My favorite thing is when people talk about something horrible someone did on that show to prove they suck and I just can't believe they think anything that happens is candid and not clearly planned and scripted beforehand.

Aside from the fact that Reese still stars in a good movie (Mud), she also has her own production company, she is producing Gone Girl.

But Lauren Conrad was never anything before her brand. She was a HS student and an "intern" that had a goal of being a designer which she is doing now.

The BP section does have some cute stuff! I am short, and in my early 20s so I still shop in that section too. It is obviously cheaper made since it is for teens, and the price is cheaper but I definitely can find cute things there, though not necessarily business attire for sure.

In theory men's sizes are more straitforward, but actually vanity sizing is a problem that exists in men's clothing too, Old Navy is actually the worst offender from the stores tested.
