Adult acne is the gift that keeps on giving. While I wait for the lingering redness to subside, I add a color-correcting concealer like this one from Neutrogena to my morning routine.
This green concealer blurs pores and reduces redness for a more even texture and skin tone. It’s even suitable for oily or acne-prone skin — it’s oil-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free. For seamless coverage, I use my ring finger to dab on a small amount, followed by concealer that matches my skin tone.
Neutrogena’s Clear Coverage Color Correcting Green Concealer is $14.14 at Walmart.

Best suggestions for entertaining a 3.5 year old on a 10-hour car ride? It will all be in the daytime, unfortunately. He’s allowed to have a tablet when we travel but I don’t want him to do that for 10 hours straight.
is there a kids monthly subscription box that delivers materials for an art project each month?
How do you cope when everyone at your home AND at your work is really needy? And all of it is developmentally appropriate for either the kids age or the employees skillset, but together it’s just too much? I feel like I am answering questions or doing things for other people from 6am to 9pm daily and just so burnt out.
5 weeks as a PITA (sometimes literally so painful which I know is a bad sign blah blah) then started to get better with both kids. Dropped the nipple shield; baby’s mouth got bigger. Ended up going 10-14 mths with each. However as much as I want to say “hang in there, it gets better” it’s totally up to YOU! There’s also no sense in powering through if it’s a PITA!
In general, would you expect a 3-year-old (3 years, 2 months) to be able to ride a balance bike? Would you be worried if he just couldn’t seem to figure out what to do with it? I got my nephew a balance bike when he was 18 months old and his mom is worried that he still hasn’t really figured out how to use it – he’ll sometimes straddle it, but hasn’t figured out how to sit down and ride it despite multiple attempts. I don’t have kids (yet) myself and to me, it seems like this is probably normal…?
i woke up yesterday with laryngitis/a cold (i had one two weeks ago that lasted for 10 days, and I was better for a week before getting sick again). Twin A was up half the night with a fever. Twin B was up some too because they share a room and Twin A ended up in my bed. DH slept in the kids’ room with Twin B. Twin B was upset to go to school this morning without Twin A. She’s done it many time at her preschool, but first time in kindergarten and was also jealous that Twin A was with me. And DH heads out of town later today until Friday. Bedtime tonight should be fun as should tomorrow morning when I have to schlep both kids to school, but Twin A will likely be staying home again. Is it Friday yet?
We recently adopted a very large rescue puppy who is being a puppy and mouthing my 8 and 6 year olds. We are working on training all of them but it’s a transition, especially with my 8 year old. He is having trouble not feeding the issue by pulling away, screeching, flailing, etc. Please give me your positive stories about getting through this phase with puppies and kids.
Any suggestions for free or low-cost pick-me-ups? It’s kind of a crummy week for me, because most of my organization is going to an annual conference that I used to go to but was uninvited from after becoming a mom and have never been allowed to return to (yes, I have Thoughts about this). I always feel sad this time of year, but the silver lining is I have a very light week at work with no meetings, no deadlines and essentially no email traffic since almost everyone is gone. I would love ideas for things to do to take my mind off this. I have a massage booked for later in the week, but otherwise am hoping to not spend much money. The weather in my area is nice and I’ll be walking solo or with a friend pretty much every day.
I’m due to give birth in the next couple weeks. At my last OB apt my doctor asked me about whether or not I’d want to have an IUD placed while I was on the epidural. I’m done having kids. DH will get a snip at some point but feeling like I should also take some precautions. I’ve been in fertility treatments for essentially the last 8 years so I haven’t had to give BC much thought. I just stuck to the traditional oral pill because it’s easy to go on/off of and is used in some parts of the course of treatment itself.
I also have a bad case of PCOS. On the one hand I’m done – D O N E – having hormones pumped in to my body after so many years of treatments, taking medicine daily, etc. But, on the other there seems to be something to be said about BC helping manage some of the side effects of PCOS, based on covos with my OB and some preliminary reading.
I know very little about IUDs as I feel like they really came to be en vogue while I was in the early bits of treatments years ago. I talked about this at some length with my doctor at my apt last week but still don’t really seem to have a clue about what to do and the clock is ticking. Any perspective or thoughts? Things to consider? Sort of leaning toward yes, place it because it’s easily removed if I don’t like it. But, Idk. I’m really sensitive to gnarly side effects, again, after so many years of nasty fertility drugs.
PSA CVS Photo has 60% off their holiday cards right now. Designs are basic, but they print quickly and come with envelopes.
Ski/snow people with older kids: help please! I need snowpants for my almost-8-yo. She will be skiing, so they need to be fairly warm, and they will eventually be passed down to two more kids. It seems like snowpants come in three categories: ~$120 ones, ~$70 ones, and <$50 ones. Are there big differences between them? Is there a specific brand people recommend? I don't think we need, like, SUPER fancy ones (we are in central NY where it gets very snowy but not Midwest-cold), but I want her to be comfortable and for them to last. Before I've always gone with Target ones but the skiing thing makes me wonder if I should be looking at higher-quality ones.
How long did it take to figure out bre@stfeeding? I’m almost 3 weeks in and still struggling with baby’s shallow latch and him falling asleep before a full feed. I’m also pumping so I know how much he’s getting, and I’m working with an LC. I feel like we should be feeding easily by now?
Happy Fallback!
I’ve been posting about a job I went for. I had my final interview last week – a meal with my would-be boss. I have 0 idea how it “went” – the conversation flowed well, but it ended on a very administrative note (e.g. “Thank you for spending time with all of us, the recruiting firm will be in touch with next steps, etc.)
I should find out more in the next few days…please send good vibes this way! I know I’m in a fortunate position, as things are going well and stable in my current job, so if I don’t get this opportunity I’ll be fine…but I REALLY want it!
