Makeup & Beauty Monday: Chanel Eyeliner

Years ago, I was at an amusement park in the summertime with my mom friend June, and even though we were sweaty and gross, her eyeliner looked great. I said, “My God, your eyeliner is perfect — I need to know what it is,” and she said Chanel.
I have tried a lot of less expensive eyeliners, and Chanel Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner is my hands-down fave because of the way it wears and how it’s waterproof and has a large selection of colors.
If, like a lot of moms, you stopped wearing mascara on an everyday basis ever since you went on maternity leave, this is a great option.
Nordstrom has a ton of colors in stock, and at $33 each, they’re expensive, but I really do love these. (Nordstrom has a great makeup return policy as well.) Chanel Eyeliner

- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Speaking of return policies, I ordered some Bose noise cancelling headphones, which was a bit of a splurge, and I’m so disappointed in them! They are Bluetooth, and when I did a test phonecall with them, the mic seems to amplify my background noise on a call. I’m trying to avoid people hearing background noise- not amplify it!
Anyway, I’m returning them, which is a thing I’m normally too lazy to do but they were pretty expensive and I expected better. Anyone have any good recs?
I’m going to be supervising virtual kindergarten for at least three weeks (hopefully only that). I’m clearly going to only be able to be part time for that period but I’m also slow at work and it should be fine. Wondering if I should proactively address with my boss (and how). What would a guy do?
A guy wouldn’t say anything and would not feel guilty about it. Worry about it when you get caught.
I’m saying this as a manager myself, I’d much rather people just not tell me. If I notice a problem with performance and outputs, we’ll discuss it then, but if someone’s workload is low, I’m just going to turn a blind eye.
My 13-month old chewed the zipper off his sleep sack last night, and I’m wondering if it’s time to transition to a blanket? Any advice? I’d rather not buy another sleep sack if he’s just going to break it again.
I need to buy a twin mattress (two, actually) for my tween daughter. I’d ideally like to keep this purchase inexpensive but not cr@ppy…so, no more than $250 per mattress? Would love your recommendations!
Has anyone found any good disposable kids’ masks? We have lots of the reusable ones, but the disposable seem much more breathable. I have two little guys (4 and 2) who will need to wear them at daycare so I’d like to find the most comfortable possible. TIA!
My three year old is fighting nap time and we are all losing our minds. We use his nap to relax a little and do reading lessons with his older sibling. Up until two weeks age, we would easily and happily nap for a couple of hours, not sure what caused the change. Older sibling napped until age 5 (when kindergarten started). He seems like he still needs the nap, he is tired and a mess. Any ideas on how to make naps fun or do a big reset?
Has anyone bought an indoor play structure that is great for little kids? We are looking at a long Midwest winter with most likely nowhere to go inside and I think this could help….
My cotton ones (mom-made and Old Navy) are much more breathable than the disposable adult masks we have, FWIW.
My kid started a new daycare about a month ago and I saw on the newsletter that the teacher’s aide’s birthday is coming up. I would like to send in a card w/ money for her birthday, but then I wouldn’t want the main teacher to feel left out (I have no idea if her birthday is coming up) so was thinking maybe I send in a Thank you card for her. Would this be weird? We don’t get to interact with the teachers at drop off or pick up but I want to let them know we appreciate all that they’re doing and for helping kiddo adjust to his new school.
My house is a mess. A real mess. Hubs and I pick up at the end of the day so it’s not so much clutter as it is just problems with the house. Baseboards are bad, hardwood floor is really beaten up, walls have markers and nail polish all over them, etc. Things weren’t so bad earlier this year, but with kiddo unsupervised for so much of the day while hubs and I work, our house is getting the worst of it. I want to hire someone to come in for a few days to paint and refinish the floors, but I know in a couple months it’s all going to look the same. At the same time, the state of the house is really starting to make me hate being home. I think the walls are just closing in on me. No question, I guess. Just a vent.
Oof, my 2 year old has made the connection between going back to school and no longer seeing her grandparents and has started asking to stay home from school so she can see them (even though she loves school). I know I’m very privileged in that I currently have full time childcare and we were able to see a lot of my parents this summer while daycare was closed because they live driving distance from us. And even in normal times we would frequently go several months without seeing them. It’s just hard because now my kiddo knows what it’s like having her grandparents visit every month, and now she won’t see them for half a year. And she hasn’t seen my husband’s parents in over a year (we had a planned visit this spring canceled) and is starting to forget them completely. She found a photo of them with her as a baby and said “who are these people holding Baby [Her name]?” It broke my heart. Everything about this whole situation is so sad and hard and I know everyone is struggling, but some days I just want to cry.
Unsolicited Zenni optical review: Just bought two pairs from them, spent a total of $110. I do think they feel ‘cheap’ compared to designer glasses. However, I can see totally fine, and for super trendy glasses (think AOC’s hipster-y looking ones) I feel good about spending $50 on them. It was also nice during COVID not to have to bother trying on glasses in the store and stressing about touching things a million other people touched.
I think Warby Parker are better quality, as a comparison.
Please, please, please do not let your children scream while playing outside past 8:30 p.m. This is a constant issue in my neighborhood. I understand kids have more energy since they aren’t in school and due to quarantine and all, but if these children were being abducted I’d never know the difference from the constant screeching outside (not yells of joy, but high pitched, top of the lungs screeching). It is also inconsiderate for those with smaller kids who have earlier bedtimes.
