October 2018 Recommendations

1. Cheddar Jalapeno Cheetos - They're pure junk, about $3, and fucking delightful.

2. Read Audre Lord - Especially if you are a white feminist. She's got a ton of writing out there.

3. Zoya Odette - A great purple for fall if you're into seasonal nail polish. A great color all around if you're not.

4. Kleem Organics Eye Cream - I have tried over 50 eye creams in the past 10 years. I love this one. I don't use much, but eye cream is a must. At $22, this is a great price. And Bruce also approves.

5. Kleem Vitamin C Serum - While we're on the Kleem topic. I've been using this twice a day since April. It just ran out and I reordered along with a retinol cream that I hope is phenomenal as well but will need to use for a few months to report back on. Great price point for a Vitamin C serum - $24.

6. Seamless wirefree bra from True & Co - Yes, a bra recommendation from me and I hate bras. Allison mentioned these in May, and I gave one a try in June with her code. I got the everyday smoothing seamless wirefree - it's my favorite and I only want to wear these now. Straps don't slip, coverage is great, and I don't feel uncomfortable at any point during the day. Taking it off is not even the first thing i do when I get home. If you use that link you get $15 off and so do I.

7. Have a voting plan and VOTE on November 6. Then never miss an election again in your life - voting matters, EVERY TIME, not just in presidential election years. Not just in midterms. Not just in November - voting matters in primaries and off years and for the smallest local office you can find. It matters. Don't let a goddamn person tell you differently. If it didn't matter, people would not be trying like hell to suppress the rights of other people to vote.

Friday Five: Things Men Don't Know

1. The Spanx Struggle. I can get dressed or undressed in front of my husband or BFFs without batting an eye...unless Spanx are involved. I need to wrestle myself into that shit in private. Even the people who know everything good and bad about me and who I'd trust with my life don't need to bear witness to the Spanx struggle. And the struggle is real. Well it was, but I am done with Spanx forever now.

2. The best part of the day is when the bra comes off. Typically the first thing I do when I get home is put my pajamas on and let out a big ass sigh of relief when I take my bra off (and yes, it is fitted correctly for all you I love wearing a bra people). Recently I've been doing things when I get home instead of changing right away. So my bra sometimes stays on until 8 or later. It's like I don't even know myself.

3. In order to find something, one must first look for it. Ooh, burn. Sorry, but I feel confident in making this grossly sexist generalization. Not all, and I won't even say most, but I will say too many men cannot find shit because they don't look for it. They simply ask someone else where it is.

4. High heels look sexy but they murder feet. It's true. 98% of foot crime can be attributed to high heels. If you don't believe it, try wearing some for more than an hour and get back to me.

5. The surest way to take a situation from 0 to 60 in less than a second is to mention PMS. Every negative reaction, bad mood, or range of emotions cannot be attributed to hormones. We don't do it and you shouldn't either. That's a good way to make hellfire rain down upon you.

And the winner of the giveaway - muji acrylic organizer and $25 donation to the local foodbank of her choice - is my girl Marla of Luck Fupus!

Time to drop the mic on this week.

Have a great weekend my friends. I'll meet you back here Monday to discuss.
