Women: Trans people have never attacked anyone in a restroom before - it's really not something we're worried about.

Republicans: It doesn't matter! We need to keep WOMEN SAFE from SEXUAL ASSAULT at ALL COSTS!

Women: We need to do something about the disturbing number of rapes on college campuses.

Republicans: Have you tried not dressing like a slut?

So I received the #NYCBigBold vox box from #Influenster for testing purposes. It consisted of an NYC Big Bold Angel Lash mascara, as well as the NYC Big Bold & Prefise Felt Tip Liner. Sadly, I was disappointed. With all my might I couldn't get as much volume out of the mascara as I wanted, I am guessing because of the odd shape of the brush and the fact that it was a bristle brush, which my eyes lashes don't seem to agree with. Also due to, probably the brush but possible the formula, I had real issues with clumping with this mascara. The liner was pretty big and bold, but not precise. Even with the fine end of the marker, the tip was too stiff to get an accurate line, and as you can see below, it was nearly impossible to get close enough to the lash line. I almost went in and filled in the spots with my other liquid liner, but that felt like cheating. Needless to say, I will not be purchasing either of these items in the future. However, I have enjoyed other NYC Color products in the past, so I may give other products in this line a chance (after carefully studying the packaging).

Do not let Tumblr make you think:

That doing drugs makes you cool.

That being rude to your parents is okay

That being straight means you aren’t a person

That being controversial all the time is cool and will get you friends

That being blatantly rude to people to get your point across is okay

That being white makes you by default evil

That having a mental illness is cool

That cutting yourself is okay

That being a male means you are a rapist

That all men are evil, misogynistic monsters

That misandry is okay

That doxxing people’s personal information is okay if they said something you don’t like

That tumblr should be your vital source for controversial issues

That school doesn’t matter

That being narcissistic is cute

That making a minor mistake on a post will make the world hate you

That the world is a horrible place

Don't you love when you like go to the doctor and the doctor is like whoa you are way too stressed, you need to calm down or you'll kill yourself, and you're like LOL I AM LITERALLY STRESSED OVER HOW I AM GOING TO PAY THESE DAMN MEDICAL BILLS

Ladies, I am holding out my hand. Do you trust me?

I need you to open Google Maps. Locate your nearest mall. Get in your car. Drive to Yankee Candle.

Past the seasonal pumpkin display, near the back of the store, you will find a trash pile Man Candle section. You will see candles called MMM, Bacon!. Riding Mower. Man Town. (I’m not kidding. Man Town.) Stay strong. Not in this section, but likely very near this section, you will find a candle called Mountain Lodge.

Hold this jar in your hands like a talisman. Close your eyes and picture a man.

I want to be clear: I’m not talking about a Hugh Dancy. Or an Andrew Garfield, a Ben Whishaw, even a Tom Hiddleston. This exercise requires someone in the Chris Evans weight class. The Richard Armitage department. Someone with smile lines around his eyes who could chop the cedar for your bower with his own hands, strangle an alpha wolf, carry you home when you sprain your ankle in the woods, bench press your entire body. Picture this man in your mountain home with a full beard, a slightly grimy white henley, a fond half smile he reserves only for you. Now open the lid and smell Mountain Lodge.

Steady yourself on the man candle display. Give yourself a second. No, you’re not wrong. Yes, the Yankee Candle Company has just eliminated the need for men. This medium tumbler Mountain Lodge candle jar is now your boyfriend. The Yankee Candle Company has effectively replaced the need for contact with the male half of our species with a compact and clean-burning candle in a jar.

“Do you like this one?” the cashier asked, ringing me up. “Every man should be required by law to smell like what this candle smells like,” I replied intensely. “That’ll be $12.01,” she said.

MOUNTAIN LODGE

stepone

it literally smells like waking up on a cold night to find a bearded richard armitage adding another quilt to the bed before he gets back in and pulls you snugly against his chest

I’m not fucking around I feel like I should be watching chris hemsworth in flannel and suspenders whittling a delicate masterpiece in front of a fireplace rn

All right, Tumblr, I saw this post a few months ago and immediately realized I had to smell this candle. I have never in my life experienced such a burning need (pun intended) to smell what the Yankee Candle website described as a warm aroma of cedarwood and sage, but what Tumblr described as my new boyfriend.

The trouble is that nearest Yankee Candle Company store was a bit of a trek, and my schedule tended to prohibit this olfactory adventure.

So for the last few weeks, as I’d scroll my Tumblr dash and look at images of attractive manly men, I’d sigh and wistfully think, if only I could engage another sense with this image. If only I could I could truly fathom the ideal fragrance of this man.

And then this happened.

And I knew.

I knew whatever was happening, I needed to get to a Yankee Candle Company. The scent of Mountain Lodge would transport me instantly to this scene. The aroma of this infamous candle could make me live out a self-insertion Avengers fanfic.

So I got in my car, made the drive, and located the Yankee Candle Company. The store was crowded with holiday shoppers. My nose was immediately assaulted by hundreds of warring scents.

I battled through the sea of humanity and the Angel Wings-Merry Marshmallow-Magical Frosted Forest assault, buoyed on by my need to understand what Steve Rogers ripping a log in half with his bare hands smelled like.

I waded toward the back of the store, only to discover the man candle section seems to have been discontinued. What was I going to steady myself on, once I found my scented gateway to hanging out with the Avengers on Hawkeye’s farm? I felt lost, adrift, unable to find my bearings amid Soft Blanket-Fluffy Towels-Home Sweet Home.

And then… rising from the “Fresh” display, there it was.

Mountain Lodge.

It was the moment of truth. What would it be like to smell this infamous candle?

I opened the lid. I took a deep breath.

And I giggled.

Ah yes. This was it. This gentle, pleasantly masculine fragrance, in fact, reduced me to what I’d probably do in the actual presence of Chris Evans: giggle like an idiot.

The smell makes me smile, makes me laugh, makes me gently swoon: all reactions that, indeed, can be elicited by an ideal man. I can barely handle the true power of Mountain Lodge.

Several months have passed since this discovery. I have regaled friends with the saga, and after hearing of it, they, too, felt the burning need to smell the candle. One by one, we have all become Mountain Lodge converts. In times of need, this candle is our refuge. Our group has developed escapist superpowers, infused by the Yankee Candle Company.

THE CANDLE, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND.

MOUNTAIN LODGE.

The official Yankee Candle™ tumblr account has recognized the Mountain Lodge mythos. My work on the material plane is finally complete. A being of pure light, I slowly ascend to the aether.

Dessange Oleo Miracle

I am JUST about finished (seriously, like probably tomorrow) my Dessange Oleo Miracle shampoo and conditioner I received from Influenster for testing purposes. But the goo news is I have plenty of Oleo Miracle Replenishing Oil left because I literally only needed a drop to get the desired result! At first I was a bit skeptical. All the oil in the shampoo and conditioner (and obviously replenishing oil) was going to just make my hair greasier faster, right? So I would have to start washing my hair twice a day which would negate the effects of the new products anyway. But that was not so! It turns out, save for one time i was in a rush and didn’t rinse my hair thoroughly, not only did my hair NOT get greasier fast, I found it seemed to get greasier slower. This is great because I hate stripping my hair of its natural oils. But the best part? After lightening my hair in January of 2014 I have struggled with damaged hair. I have bought multiple hair masques and leave in conditioners, and shelled out extra for my favorite, more expensive products. Most of them would work for a day or two after using them, (as most were a once a week kind of product), however for the first time since then I have found my hair is consistently healthier and less “crunchy” as I like to put it. I will most likely be purchasing from this line next time I need new product. I am still a bit hesitant simply because I LOVE the smell of aveda products, but the fragrance in Dessange is pretty great too, and I just can’t fight these positive results. I am really thankful to Dessange and Influenster for helping me discover this line of products!
