We both WEPT, as we knew we would, and it was one of the reasons we arranged to marry in a completely private ceremony (with only the officiant, and photogs there as witnesses). We both had hankies in hand bc we knew it would be a weepy mess. Miraculously my makeup survived (one of the main reasons I got lash…
Yes, I did! Still not convinced it was “worth it” (much like most of the wedding costs) but I did love it, and got to wear it twice (private elopement ceremony and then again for the reception a few weeks later), so I guess I got twice the value out of it?? My seamstress was amazing, the final fit was perfect,…
I always say you can tell who has herpes- the people who don’t laugh at the herpes jokes.
So I recently got my first Fiona, and while I like it for walking, it is not doing the trick for running, I'm still bouncing around! I'm a 38DD/E. I've also noticed that lining inside the bottom band seems to get twisted and weird while I'm wearing it. Do I just need to crank the shoulder straps even tighter?? …

I've been a Great Lash fan for (eek) 20 years?? I've tried others over the years, but I am lucky to have long, fairly thick lashes already, and GL is the only thing that will coat but not clump and get spidery. I like the blackest black formula but I hate the large brush, have to find the ones with the little…

Does anyone know the special tipping rules when your technician is the salon owner? I have heard that the tips should/can be lower because, as the owner, they are making an additional profit off your service. Both my hair stylist and nail tech own their salons... i never know what to do so i just tip 15-20%....
I tend to be very photogenic and know how to pose in pics so they (usually) turn out looking good... but then I worry that my real-life face is a disappointment in comparison to the perfectly posed pics!
The only time I've been cheated on (at least that I know of): boyfriend A, who was kindof a dick most of the time but was my real first boyfriend at the ripe age of 22, so I was majorly into him despite him generally not being that nice to me (and just being a narcissistic 26 year old dude). One night he called me,…
I can't wait to go full silver fox in a few (maybe 10?) years. I'm 36 now, I highlight my dark brown hair regularly but I can see aggressive greys coming in at the temples and along my part, and at some point in the future I want a mane of silver hair! I want to ask my stylist about dying my hair silver when the…
Yes, it was at CoCo Coquette! They were really easy to work with and they did a great job. Highly recommend!!
Just had my bachelorette party/weekend in Austin, which was awesome. I'm from the East Coast and my friends are spread all over the country so we picked a central-ish destination that would hopefully be warm (it was, sorta) rented a big Airbnb that we could all fit into that was centrally located, and didn't rent a…
I'm deciding between these glittery modcloth beauties that I LOVE but just wore during my bachelorette weekend and they HURT:

I bought a dress at Kleinfelds in June 2014 for my April 2015 wedding. Immediately after signing the contract I had second thoughts (and was in tears on the phone with my fiance hours after the purchase, feeling like i had made a big, expensive mistake). Even though I loved the dress when I had it on, I HATE the…
Every single one of these gave me full on chills!
So I had a weird experience of the OPPOSITE of this: times when kids (particularly my boyfriend's daughter) would want to hug me and it would make me uncomfortable. I'm not a big hugger, anyway, and I would feel especially uncomfortable if she wanted to hug me goodnight/good morning and I was in pjs (t shirt without…
I've never planned on having kids, even though I "never said never" when I was younger, now that I am 35, engaged to my partner who is 10 years older than me, and we have partial custody of his 12 year daughter, I feel much more sure about "never" and comfortable with it. I have always been terrified of the…
No, slutmachine, don't go!!!!
I was recently groped in a crowd at a concert and was surprised and horrified at my own reaction: I was paralyzed, literally could not make myself look back and see who had done it, to confront him, and I felt scared, and ashamed. I felt like i instantly became and started behaving like a powerless victim. It was a…
I gave my man a joking "go sportsball!" last night when I joined him to watch baseball on TV, then he was all like "check out this amazing 13 year old girl pitching in the little league world series" and I was BLOWN AWAY. She rocks.
