Younique is a Mormon pyramid scheme. Nuff said.

my liberte makes me bleed like a Wes Craven flick, but it's great otherwise. I switched to the sponge and washable liners shortly after, and I feel a lot better about periods in general now. /lentils

It's a roasted chicken and green bean casserole kind of weekend. Sea salt and olive oil potatoes, turnip mash and carrots too.

So, are there any organizations in particular that are standing up? Do you have any links I could send people? What are they needing right now?

I'm sitting and watching in horror from Canada. I'm an ex MCC volunteer, and it made me pay closer attention to issues in Central America. I have colleagues and dear friends who are near the border with Guatemala in Chiapas, and I'm getting more and more concerned for their communities daily. I really, desperately…

So, I've been on lexapro for almost two years...I promise you'll get your libido back given a month or so. As for weight one of the best things I did for myself was signing up for dance classes with a friend. It's fun and it forces you to go. Don't have crap in your cupboard, prep and freeze good stuff when you're…

Um..."In Canada we don't have this problem". Are we from the same Canada? I'm an aboriginal woman, and lemme tell you we don't have the same level of access. There's tons of funding available at the post secondary level to be sure, but that requires making it through an insanely racist public school system that…

That's still lost wages, though. I'm not sure how much daycare centrelink covers, and she still obviously has an incredible support network if not a supportive partner. I'm glad it's something she's able to do, but she's still an upper middle class white woman from an exurban area with considerable access to resources…

Agreed. An 18 year old ran for mayor of Toronto and honestly expected to win. I'm one or two facebook degrees separated from her, she kept talking about how she didn't want a 'traditional political career'....well, honey. You can't run the largest municipality in Canada with zero life experience, zero experience…

Congrats? You have the economic and sociocultural means to breastfeed your kid AND pursue post-secondary education? So it's something "all mums can do"? She's incredibly privilege blind.

Spend the money and get a glycolic peel package. Seriously. Huge night and day difference combined with improved diet and a good three step system.

I found it a couple years ago, and it feels better than 'rest in peace' to me for people who really stood up for something.

Rest in power, Brittany. Thank you, seriously thank you, for getting us talking. Watching someone you love deteriorate is one of the hardest things there is.

Ugh. Totally possible to get vitamin d without tanning...the tan industry has more spin than big tobacco.

It's amazing what they can sleep through. My sister's midwife recommended vacuuming under the crib early and often ;)

I've done bags of chopped frozen and portioned fruit and veg for smoothies for mums I know are into that, with a jar of vega or greens plus. Quick one handed meals!

Band politics are really complicated, and there's never a straight answer with stuff like this. I suspect there's some tall poppy syndrome going on though.

Excessive bitching is unattractive on anyone, full stop. I love having a good moan to friends, but when all you talk about is how haaaard it is to have kids/your first real job/be in grad school etc, it's time to refocus.

This post made me want Belizean bbq chicken so hard. No lie.

spiralizer! Makes raw/vegan recipes way way easier, plus better salads
