23 Surprisingly doable weight loss tips! (Buzzfeed list)
Portlandia13 in Fitness and Health, on January 8, 2017 at 1:09 PM

Usually lists of weight loss tips are a load of garbage, IMO. But it looks they actually consulted dietitians, and put together a list of small changes that would be fairly easy to incorporate into...

Makeup trial! Need advice.
Portlandia13 in Wedding Attire, on December 20, 2016 at 6:31 PM

Just had my makeup trial and I'm having mixed feelings. I almost never wear foundation, and I kind of feel like I'm wearing a mask. She did airbrush foundation, and I think my skin was a little more...

Portlandia13 in Etiquette and Advice, on December 8, 2016 at 3:59 PM

I've seen a lot of people recommend driving for Uber/Lyft as a way to make extra cash before the wedding. I'm a little hesitant to do it as a woman, especially since they won't even let you keep...

Rant Alert: Obnoxious Groomsman seriously pissing me off
Portlandia13 in Community Conversations, on September 6, 2016 at 11:47 PM

Portlandia13 in Etiquette and Advice, on August 10, 2016 at 12:44 PM

Have any of you been to an evening/dinner reception that didn't have dancing? I am fairly neutral on dancing, but I can tell that FH does not want to have it. He really doesn't enjoy dancing at other...
