Of course I am! Have you seen any of the chatter about Kyle the Sperminator?? It's..... wild. Poor Anika. Also Luke and his teenage dream/cash drain Madelein; Shawn (who seems very sweet) and Aliyah (also sweet) dealing with something VERY heavy; and we still have yet to meet "he wants a threesome" couple Alex and Adriano.

She's gorgeous! 🥰 That's a creature that doesn't need any sunblock (unlike me).

As one of the 90 Day podcasts I listen to puts it about Nicole, "something happened on the way to heaven." As in, there is something very dark in her past, above and beyond the bizarre relationship she's in. Mahmoud is not the greatest human being, and a terrible husband, but at the same time she is actively trying to make him miserable, as if in payback for how traumatized she was in Egypt. (And if you watch that season, she looks like she's in shock half the time.) Her home is full of items seemingly calculated to rile him up, like pictures of naked women with luxurious downstairs hair, and Hieronymus Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights" as a shower curtain. (I actually kind of want that too, but all of my bathroom showers have doors, lol.) And then she wears clothing that is cropped -- but only slightly -- or has a small amount of exposed skin, knowing that Mahmoud will lose his mind. Yes, he needs to get used to her wearing clothing he doesn't approve of, but she is being needlessly provocative. TL:dr -- they both suck.

Makeup/hair is fun stuff about being a lady. Experimenting with your appearance on a temporary basis, getting to play around with color and lines on your very own body is cool. Then you get to erase it and try on a new persona, just for a while. Other lady stuff isn't always fun, but I'll take beauty any day.

I actually have the old version of the Amika brush, which does not have the red beam tech. So I can't report first hand, sadly. The description says:

I find Olaplex just takes too long and the results are usually disappointing. I have gotten something close to "glass" hair even with all the frizz with a combo of Dae Signature shampoo, Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water, Elizavecca treatment, and Oribe Gold Lust hair oil. Blow completely dry with my Dyson, and then finish with the Amika Polished Perfection straightening brush. Sounds complicated I'm sure to the menfolk but it really isn't!

On a colleague's recommendation, I bought a tube of this the other month -- she said it was better than Olaplex No. 3 as a hair treatment: https://elizavecca.us/elizavecca-milky-piggy-cer-100-collagen-ceramide-coating-protein-treatment/ She wasn't lying! My hair is silkier and shinier than ever, with almost NO frizz (yes!) and the effects last me through 3 or 4 washes so I usually only use a dollop twice a month. It's also more than half the price of Olaplex. Be aware that it has pig collagen in the ingredients list, in case that's a no go for you for religious/ethical/health reasons.

It's an educated guess. 🤓 -
Better than nylabones. 😊

I used dried Colman's last night, making a rub for the tri-tip I roasted. I mixed equal parts good quality flour (I like King Arthur) and Colman's, then pat it all over the roast, really working it into the flap of fat on top. Some salt and pepper, and roast it in a cast iron skillet on top of a large onion, cut in half. Afterwards, the onion makes for excellent gravy right there in the skillet. It was sensational (as always). I am a big fan of wholegrain mustard, but I also like a good Dijon.

Bristol Farms, usually, sometimes Gelson's. Not crazy about the selection at Whole Foods, tbh. Speaking of Whole Foods, I went to the one near my office the other day to get prepared horseradish and they had only one kind! Bananas, since even my local Vons has 6 or 7 different varieties. We ate it anyway, even though what I really wanted was the super hot one, the kind that temporarily makes your vision go dark when you take slightly too big of a bite.

Count me in as another ketchup hater. 🤮 Too sweet and it masks the flavor of the food. I agree with Dashinka -- mustard is a superior condiment. With french fries, I prefer mayo or aioli. We have had husband training school here over the past few years, and I have to say he has really improved. He 100% used to do things like smear greasy stuff all over the counters with a paper towel, because he honestly didn't know better. There was always some woman (mother, wife, cleaner) taking care of things for him, and when he didn't have one of those he kind of just... lived in semi-squalor? (I do not like thinking about the "divorce flat" he was living in before he and I were in a relationship.) But now while he still doesn't see how the sink is dirty where I do, he's pretty decent about keeping the kitchen counters and the cooktop clean. I did have to point out how filthy his bathroom vanity was the other day (I was hoping he'd notice) but I will give him his due -- he grabbed a roll of paper towels and the bathroom spray and took care of it with no moaning. Why? Because he's an adult and because he wants to keep his wife happy. I still can't fathom how the ketchup challenge qualifies as news.

Those women need sunblock! Everyone needs sunblock, honestly.

NO!!! I've been a repeat customer for more years than I can remember -- through 2 husbands even! Awful awful awful. I just got my last delivery from them a few weeks ago....

New ads on the forum
laylalex replied to Voice of Reason's topic in Site-Related Discussion - Updates, Ideas, etc.
I do use AdBlocker+, but I leave it off on VJ even though the ads are super annoying because the site needs to pay for itself somehow! Mostly I don't mind the ads (currently this page is showing me a relatively new Lexus for sale) but I always wonder how so many dating ads get on here. I'm laughing because I was complaining about it back a few years ago when some ads for Ashley Madison showed up on here, and I was like: huh?
