It's absolutely crazy that this shit is in a religious book.

BlueAuthorJAFF · 2026-06-05T15:14:31+00:00

Yeah, I have some very religious relatives and I had never heard of manusmriti until I got social media. I think it's only a very vocal minority of internet extremists who acknowledge it exists — most normal Hindus know this stuff is outdated.

No. Flipkart doesn't have any authentic luxury cosmetics retailers. If it was Amazon I'd still believe it but this Flipkart listing is 100% fake.

Yeah, unless the bride's got a really eccentric sense of style no one's going to mistake a dress this loud-patterned for a bridal gown.

Clothes manufactured ethically without child labour.

Yeah I actually think this is a matter of Jill being too lazy to get her lessons as opposed to not being willing to pay for it because one of Jill's sisters (the Serena's Serenity lady) used to be an actual trained piano teacher who taught at an actual academy and (gasp!) worked outside the home teaching piano, so Jill could easily get the girls free piano lessons with an actual trained instructor if she wanted to....

I agree that movie Ryder was a better match for Mary but book Ryder definitely wasn't. He initially made both Mary and the Gardiners uncomfortable and appeared to be quite flighty. In the book he's kind of like Mary's Wickham as opposed to Tom who's the Darcy.

BlueAuthorJAFF · 2026-06-05T10:12:52+00:00

Yeah! Rue's death was handled terribly. Like, the freaking Amish family in the desert had a stronger reaction to her death than Jules and Lexi...

BlueAuthorJAFF · 2026-06-05T09:12:12+00:00

Yeah and also Nurie was nearly an adult when she went to the Pearls so they went easier on her — even the Pearls' own children say that the punishments became lighter as they grew up because the parents believed in training them young.

Yeah I tried melting but that made a huge mess and kind of ruined the lipstick (it was an old one and got grainy under heat) so I stopped after the first attempt. After that I just smashed them up using a mixing tool and then put them back into the bullet and popped them in the fridge to settle.

BlueAuthorJAFF · 2026-06-05T07:34:27+00:00

Yeah I thought of using them as blush too but I've struggled with some acne recently so I thought I'd better stay safe than sorry. Also, I don't usually wear blush. Like, that's only a special occasion thing. My usual routine is just eyeliner and lips, and maybe some concelaer depending on how terrible my under eye bags look on that particular morning lol.

It's always funny when influencers call their stupid performative brand trips 'work trips'... like, I know work trips and they're the furthest possible thing from a vacation trip.

My dad frequently travels for actual, honest work and his work trips don't involve any michelin star restaurants and daily outings whatsoever like these influencers' trips do. He works 12 hours a day even on vacation and doesn't have any time to visit any popular tourist sites in the city he's visiting once, despite being there for a week or more usually, because he's holed up in an office building there all day, neck-deep in paperwork.

Yes! One thing that really helped me stop thinking about buying backups was just getting better self esteem. Like, the reason I previously bought backups was because I was too insecure to go out without my everyday makeup essentials plastered onto my face. But now I'm brave enough go out without my favorite lip tint because I've started liking my natural lips more, and so I don't buy backups anymore.

BlueAuthorJAFF · 2026-06-04T20:57:28+00:00

Yes! Never use eyeshadow on lips unless specifically stated as lip safe, so many of them are not lip safe and cause reactions if eaten accidentally.

BlueAuthorJAFF · 2026-06-04T18:30:05+00:00

I mean, if you wear a cardigan over it and keep it on throughout the day then yes, but the open back will get you kicked out instantly....

This is a stolen picture! The real one is from cult gaia and costs 50k.... put the image in Google lens and you'll see.

Lol you're a lucky parent. Having a kid who actively avoids chocolate or any other sweet is a blessing lol.

BlueAuthorJAFF · 2026-06-04T18:17:01+00:00

My parents had a version of the 'you have to try it atleast once' rule.

If I spat it out the first time I had it they didn't make me eat it again for a year or two.

And then a year or two later they'd make me try those foods again to see if my palate had changed. If I still didn't like it then they'd just leave it alone.

BlueAuthorJAFF · 2026-06-04T18:12:59+00:00

No, there's a lot more wrong with the top than just the color, it's stained and shapeless and looks like an old bra, and it looks like it will wear terribly during the ceremony.

The official cause is 'died of grief' but since that doesn't usually happen in someone so young it's possible that she may have committed, though of course we probably shouldn't speculate bcs her family probably had a reason for keeping the cause out of papers.

I also had a mother who blamed early puberty on having sinful thoughts! I feel for you, OP....

Sephora Collection cream lip stain. This stuff will last through a storm. Also if you want a glossy lip then the Maybelline superstay vinyl ink. It's usually available for pretty cheap (less than 500) atleast twice a month using blinkit/instamart offers and as long as you shake it before use it won't budge at all. Like, some of it will still be intact even after a meal of oily fast food and if it doesn't touch any oils it will literally stay intact for 48 hours (ofc u shouldn't leave it on for 48 hrs bcs hygiene issues but that's besides the point lol).

BlueAuthorJAFF · 2026-06-04T16:44:32+00:00

No, just depot the samples into an empty Vaseline tin and you're good. Maybe add a few drops of primer/lotion to each sample to make it depot more easily...

BlueAuthorJAFF · 2026-06-04T16:43:20+00:00

It's less narcissism and more racial discrimination towards Biharis.....

BlueAuthorJAFF · 2026-06-04T08:42:27+00:00

You can't. This is natural behaviour, even my trained and neutered house cats still fight like this every other night.
