Who doesn’t have a bad habit? Whether you’ve had one in the past, or are currently battling one, bad habits are things that affect everybody. Personally, my bad habit is biting my nails. I’ve gone to extreme lengths to try to stop, including purchasing sour-tasting nail polish (SO gross). No matter what I try, though, I just can’t quit! As bad as nail-biting is though, it’s not the only bad habit out there. After all, nobody’s perfect.
Bad habits are addicting. Even when you think you’ve found the trick to quitting, you find yourself nibbling at your pinky nail or standing in line buying a soda you swore you wouldn’t have. I know how frustrating these vices can be, and how they can sneak up on you just when you least expect it. So, to help us all, I’ve compiled a list of some common bad habits and easy ways to break them. Take a look at the gallery to read up on these helpful tips and tricks. Maybe you can finally kick that habit once and for all!
Have any of you Lovelies had a bad habit that you’ve successfully broken? How did you do it?

I literally eat the skin around my nails. Also I am a horrible skin picker in general… I have a collection of needles used only for removing ingrown hairs and murdering pimples.

As anticipated, I can’t read this post because of the picture gallery. I’m going to stop visiting this site really soon if I can’t even read the posts on it.

@emptyabyss@xanga - seconded. Lovelyish, go back to the old picture galleries. I don’t bother looking at half your posts now because I’m not clicking through six+ pages just to read one article.

@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - What was the old one like? I’d think they’d be able to incorporate something more javascript-based like on most blogs where you click it, the “pop up” shows up over the page, but there’s no new page and it doesn’t refresh things. Was it something like that? If so, I extremely concur.

And btw. There’s just photos. Absolutely nothing goes with the photos. Would have rather had a longer-looking post with the actual pictures and then the text under it.

@ashleynicole - it was just one whole page of photos. Yeah, it took a bit longer to load but it was SO much more convenient than having to click to a new page all the time!

@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - Oh THAT method, some people still use it. I prefer it too. But I do think that they should look into some type of gallery script if they really want a gallery like this.

Is it just my computer or a problem with the entire site that almost every article on Lovelyish doesn’t have content anymore? Like, did you guys know that the captions aren’t showing up?
I usually go to click on a picture expecting a caption but there never is one anymore. Like, for this article, the only think you’ve written is about you biting your nails. It ends at “Nobody’s Perfect…” And then you just posted a bunch of pictures with no captions LOL. I assume there’s supposed to be captions.
Maybe you need a Macbook or something to read Lovelyish now? I have an ACER discount computer sooo I wouldn’t be surprised.

My habits would be biting my fingernails and smoking. I am working on my biting habit though. I bought that nasty tasting stuff, I tried it when I was younger and just got used to the gross taste… But lately its been working
Mostly because I like working on my nails and doing art on it but its really hard with short nails.. I let them grow ONCE before, but ended up biting them
This is trying number 2! lol

@themeaningofperfect@xanga - I have a Macbook and can never read them either. I just clicked each picture like seven times until I scrolled down and realized everyone was having the same problem haha.

Just throwing in my vote for the old method of scrolling down and seeing the photos all in one page. The galleries suck. And the caption has about a 50/50 chance of actually being there.
guest
…what? where is the advice?
guest
@themeaningofperfect@xanga - there aren’t captions on them anymore, it’s stupid. It’s half an article and then a bunch of random pictures :-/ lol.
guest
@emptyabyss@xanga -
AGREED!
Please go back to scrolling down the page for images. Gallery Sucks. It refreshes the entire page and then I need to scroll the page back down to view the image and read the caption (which is never there anyway).
And while I am at it, Linking us back to Xanga would be fantastic.
