I didn't realize how basic I am...

When I look in the mirror, I just feel kinda blah about how I look recently. For the past few years, I've dressed the same, done my makeup the same, everything the same. I feel stuck in a rut and just want a totally different style that makes me look my best. I've never really done a makeover before, so what are the basic steps I should follow? FYI I don't really have a lot of extra money to buy new makeup or supplies, so any budget-friendly options are a huge plus.

I am losing my mind. I've had bedbugs in my house for a week and nothing seems to be getting rid of them. How do I kill them? Do I just need to bite the bullet and call an exterminator? Do I need to move???? I'm pulling my hair out as we speak. Help, please!

Hello! I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and get a septum piercing. I’m super excited! Unfortunately, I’ve only ever pierced my ears before (and that was back when I was really young). What should I be looking out for? I guess, what would you tell someone getting a septum piercing for the first time? I’m interested in anything and everything! Cost, healing process, tips on caring for it, etc.

I got cottagecore on this aesthetic quiz and they got it spot on! What's your aesthetic? Did the quiz get it right?

Hi, I’m trying to start being more intentional about shaving now that I’m dating again and I’d like some advice on getting a cleaner shave down in my personal area. I trim to the best of my ability, but it always feels kind of like there’s probably a better option than what I’m doing? It looks okay I think, but there are always bumps and the hair kind of grows back unevenly, which I think means I’m doing something wrong? Any tips on getting a cleaner or more uniform shave down there? I’m a woman, just FYI.

I am a 32F who has been hitting it off with a younger guy (24) at my gym and he finally asked me out and I'm thinking of saying yes, but I'm not sure. I like him, but I've never dated anyone so much younger than me, so I'd love to hear about other people's experiences dating younger men. What were your age ranges and how did it go? Did it turn into a long-term thing? Ideally, this wouldn't be just a fling for me, so I'm curious about the pros and cons of an age gap romance. Is this age gap too big? (He's not a baby, but he's still pretty young.) Would you recommend I say yes or just keep things friendly?
