God, your mom’s husband is an asshole—you, OP, are not! I’m glad you’re 17 bc it means you can leave soon and find your own destiny, and hopefully your bio-dad as well! Hang in there! ❤️

I’m also a huge fan of body oil, for those reasons. It’s also easier and quicker to apply.

Adorable! Glad you bought the blue one as well! ❤️💙

Ah, that must feel so great! 🏆❗️

My favorites are the brown and silver followed by the bright orange at the end.

If it were me, I’d find some other way to wear my hair that wouldn’t eat into my vacation time.

I had this happen a couple of times (once really badly), but switched prescriptions and things settled down. When I started perimenopause, I went on a monophasic pill (same dose of hormones every day), and ended up taking it nonstop for a couple of years. That one helped my mental health of anything.

Right? I don’t even really class Powell’s as an indie anymore. They technically are, but after the shit they pulled on their employees at the beginning of the pandemic, they’ve been my last choice locally.

I wish the pants had a more pronounced flare, but what a great outfit!

Was busy enjoying this dress when suddenly you introduced THE WRAP?!?! I was not prepared. What an amazing find!!!

I’ve always wondered why the Chorus doesn’t deliver those lines, since the Act I and Act II prologues are both sonnets.

It was kind of great, tho, to realize that even pros sometimes go that route.

Happy cake day! 🎂🎉 I will grab some cupcakes later and celebrate with you!

I’ve been wearing Wacoal Slimline Minimizers on and off for years. No fussy bows or lace, and IMO the way they redistribute breast tissue is kind of miraculous, and clothes actually fit right. (5'3', 36F)

I second trying one of these. Their sizing doesn’t quite work for me, but I wear my black one sometimes anyway bc I think it looks slightly badass.
