Repurposing Your Unused Lotions and Potions


Oh, you.

Yes, you, with the medicine chest bursting with lotions, potions, notions and cosmeceuticals you couldn’t possibly use in one lifetime on one face.  You with the basket of Kiehl’s samples slopping over onto a tray on the bathroom counter.  You, straight dude, with 10 bottles of cologne that you can’t bear to part with even though you wear only two of them.

Hai! I am Teh Prezident of Ur Club: The Wastrels.  And I am here to talk repurposing your unused cosmetics, AHA stuff, deodorant, cologne and all the other crap cluttering up your bathroom, linen closet and the top of your dresser.

Game of Thrones Recap: The Trouble With Mercy

So how do you end the first season of a show that is shaping up to be the next biggest thing in HBO history? Well, you have to do it justice.

This Just In – Amy Winehouse Still A Mess

We have a clip from her attempted performance of “Just Friends.” You be the judge.

QOTD: What Would You Marry?

Gay Marriage is becoming more and more of a ‘thing’.  According to some nutjobs, this means we will be able to marry animals and perhaps inanimate objects.

Personally, I would not mind marrying cheese.  Mmmm.  Soft, supple Brie; dangerously sharp cheddar.

And my books of course.  And the cats.

What would you marry?
