Advice for beachy wavy hair?
tumblinas:
I could sit and google all day for tips on getting those perfect just-left-the-beach waves but why not ask the tumblinas?! At this point I have a buffet of products at home which work sometimes - but not all the time. I’m on a mission to find that one reliable method & product that won’t let me down! My hair is naturally wavy but has a mind of it’s own and needs some direction!

Dear guys at The Waterfront,
Thanks for ceaselessly cat-calling my roommate and me every Monday evening on our walk home from yoga. Apparently I underestimated the appeal of butt-crack sweat.
PS, try the grilled cheese.

I keep hearing people talk about the Germany-Turkey soccer game, mostly because Germany’s and Turkey’s respective teams hate eachother. Unfortunately, the people have issues too.
i like science (marine and environmental is what i studied), and i think of myself as a reasonably intelligent person. that said, i certainly don’t walk around like a babbling encyclopedia. if the subjects do come up, it’s often more of a connection with the person based on a mutual respect for the environment, since what i have studied influences the way i purchase products, the food...

Looking for sunscreen
So - I’ve tried all sorts (non-greasy, greasy, creamy, non-creamy, for babies, for sensitive skin, etc) and still have yet to find one that really works. Any suggestions?
Mon.thly.Info →
“What is this? Mon.thly.Info is a simple tool to help you keep track of your menstrual cycles.
How does it work? Each time you start your period, add the date to your Mon.thly account, and it will use your history to predict the next time your cycle will start. This provides you with a record of your menstrual cycles, which can be an important addition to your medical history. If you want,...
Temporary or (Aha!)
I get it, I accept it when it applies to traffic, retail sales, and expiration dates on my yummy Trader Joe’s Greek Yogurts (especially, the honey flavor).
Why has it been so hard to apply temporary to things in my life on a larger scale? In regards to my career, my love life, and my finances? Tomorrow is another day. It’s not as if I can push fast forward and get to the point...

Things to remember...
‘Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways – a glass of wine in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘WOO WOO, What a Ride’
Nobody has the right to tell you who you are. Especially when they barely know you. & even more especially when they’re your creepy, greasy male teacher.
My inner feminist prompted me to post this on...
Who was responsible for this fear of the feminine that could only be described as acute collective paranoia? We could say: Of course, men were responsible. But then why in many ancient pre-Christian civilizations such as the Sumerian, Egyptian, and Celtic were women respected and the feminine principle not feared but revered? What is it that suddenly made men feel threatened by the female? ...
HTML help
I am not dumb, I am not dumb, I am not dumb. Can someone tell me why I can’t get html to work on my blog? I know what I’m doing…I know html, but I think I may have disabled it (unknowingly, of course). Any suggestions = much appreciated.
*update: I believe Tumblr had a recent release, where they changed some stuff around…now you have to click on the html button in...

Work it ladies.
Over the past few weeks spending my weekends at the pool, I have come to the conclusion that you don’t have to be a size zero or size two to wear a bikini. There are plenty of girls at my pool who I would never have thought I would see sporting a skimpy two piece, but they are and they are damn proud of what they’ve got.
I am not fat by any means, but I am also not a size two. But I...
Ironic
I have been an on-agian off-again fan of One Life to Live. Don’t judge me too harshly. I watch it for the drama and for the pretty people whose lives are just so damn intriuging. I never thought I’d find pieces of wisdom. The following dialogue (paraphrased) floored me:
Bo: Go on your homeymoon. This will all be here when you get back.
Rex: Honeyoon’s over. Adrianna...
Oh Wise Tumblina
I just wanted to thank the Tumblina who recommended the book The History of Love. This book is amazing. The voices of the characters are so powerful. If you find the time to read one book this year, make it The History of Love by Nicole Krauss.
