    Chicago sublet available! I'm desperate

    So I thought I was moving tomorrow, but my subletter is no more (short story: he told the leasing company that his dog is 55 lbs, max weight is 40 lbs, which I was not aware of a weight limit (I've seen bigger dogs here)). This happened yesterday, after thinking I secured a subletter for about a...

    Complained about Blue Mercury and...

    At the beginning of August, I had a really bad experience at Blue Mercury and complained about it to the corporate. They were super gracious and offered to send a gift card to my home address. I never received it. I emailed them again around August 20th. They have my correct home address, but...

    Generic vs. brand name birth control pills

    I think I know the answer, but I figured I'd ask here as well. My insurance barely covers brand name pills. My gynecologist insists upon only brand name pills (will prescribe non-brands but unwillingly), because she claims that generics are extremely time sensitive as to when you take them...

    Distant past a sign of the future?

    So I'm seeing someone, and he's amazingly kind, loving, etc. On Saturday, he's revealed he's done terribly violent things to his sister in the past when he was a teenager. The last incident was a decade ago, and I wouldn't have suspected anything of that nature, considering the kind of...

    Changing hair part to reduce thinning?

    I went to a new salon yesterday. The girl who cut my hair said that you're supposed to change your hair's part even by a half inch every few years to prevent your hair from thinning out at the roots. She claims that it gives the previously exposed hair a rest from wind, heat, etc. Is this true...

    Smudging Mascara

    For some reason, my Bad Gal lash mascara is smudging underneath my eyes. I only wear it on the top lashes, so I'm baffled as to why it's happening. Does anyone have good techniques on preventing mascara smudging, insight as to why it happens, etc.?

    Underrated Nars

    I just recently fell in love with Mata Hari blush, which is one of the blushes I never hear anything about. It's always Orgasm, Sin, Taos. I was wondering if there are any other products from Nars that you love but no one else seems to use.

    Problems with my TA boss

    I started grad school and am a teaching assistant (TA) for the labs. I haven't been here for two weeks at the school, and I already have problems with the woman in charge of the TAs. She's belittled and yelled at me twice for being late/no-show for meetings. The problem is she never told me...

    Blinc vs. Bad Gal Lash vs. Diorshow

    Which mascara would you recommend and why? I've tried and liked Bad Gal, but I want to know if there's something better that's truly worth the money

    Oily skin from air conditioning?

    I've normally had normal to dry skin with some bouts of eczema. However, I've been working an excessively air conditioned building and noticed my skin is like an oil slick. It's fine on the weekends in my non-air conditioned apartment. Am I correct that it is the air conditioning? And how do...

    Vintage Nars I don't know what "vintage" means with this (I guess discontinued), but it's cheap and legit Nars. I didn't see anything I liked, but maybe someone else will
