“When are you going to have a baby?”

A Letter to My Ex Best Friend
How does it feel to know that you betrayed someone who held your hand and comforted you when that jerk broke your heart?

The Sunk-Cost Fallacy
Sunk-cost fallacy is the phenomenon whereby someone may not want to give up something (or someone) because of how much they’ve invested into it, even when the better course of action would be to abandon it.

I wanted to like these I Dew Care products so badly. The branding is cute, and Korean skincare very rarely lets me down. However, I dew not like these. The Disco Kitten Illuminating Diamond Peel-Off Mask is a fun, pretty iridescent peel-off mask that gave me all of the Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century vibes. That… Continue reading Face Gadgets: I Dew Care
