I threw away my Loreal waterproof mascara a few days ago because I remain unconvinced that it isn’t the source of the dark circles under my eyes. Yes, you may be laughing at my refusal to admit that I’m getting older, but I really think there is something up with that mascara. So I tossed […]

This is why you’re fat.
