Ever since Hard Candy Sky in the ’90s, I’ve been a blue nail polish girl. Actually, now I’m a greenish blue/blueish green/blue/green nail polish girl. Those are definitely the color families I wear the most. Oh, and purple. I’ll sprinkle a purple up in there from time to time. So blues, greens and purples are the shades I wear the most, and to get even more rambly on ya, I hardly ever wear orange nail polish. It doesn’t really do anything for me at all. Neither does beige nor tan. How about you? What nail polish colors do you wear...

I mean…there are so just many things, and most of them are silly like… 1. Using two mugs to drink coffee When the automatic warmer in my coffee maker shuts off and the coffee isn’t as hot as I’d like it to be, I grab two mugs — one mug that I use in the microwave to warm up the coffee, and a second “fancy mug,” which I pour the hot coffee into and drink from. Now, I could save a step and just drink directly from the first mug…but it’s too hot to hold when it comes out of...

MBB’s “Fresh Friday” series takes a look at new beauty brands (and venerable O.G. brands that are new to me). Let’s discover new makeup! OK, so I like to think that I’m NOT ruled by my stomach, buuuut the fact that the eyeshadow palette I rocked yesterday is called Berries & Cream may or may not have something to do with why I like wearing it. 😁 Berries & Cream is from Dominique Cosmetics, a new-to-me indie makeup line by YouTuber Christen Dominique. Christen has just over four million subscribers, so she’s kinda Internet famous (to put it mildly). Dominique...

Tabs woke up this morning feelin’ himself. His fashion philosophy is usually more is more, but today it was more is more is more is more! — hence all of the luscious and lovely colors in his collars today. He took one look at me before we left the house as if to ask, “Is this too much?” I know better than to disagree with him. He’s a fashion icon, after all. And even though my gut reaction was to say, “Perhaps you should take away one or two of the flowers…” I do have to say that in this...

Create a parabola from Lines and a Right Angle. Via WonderHowTo. EDIT As some readers have pointed out, there is a typo and the curve is actually an hyperbola. Well, the easiest way to notice the difference (at first glance, I mean) is through the parametric equations: Parabola: X = t² and Y = t  Hyperbola: X = t and Y = 1/t  and realize that the asymptotic behavior of the hyperbola (at t→ 0 and t→ ∞) on the graph is not given in a “parabola” (the first five drawings). In any case, to avoid problems, the author of the article should...
