I have been seeing many social media praises of this concealer from Clé de Peau for a long time now. The first time I clicked, I remembered being stunned by the price. However, finding myself in a moment of true weakness and a Nordstrom price-match sale in which it was 15% off, I bought it. I’ve been battling some maskne and some annoying hormonal acne, and I’ve been looking for a good concealer.
When it arrived, I immediately tried it. You can swipe it directly onto your skin, or you can swirl a clean finger on the stick itself to warm it up and then apply it to your skin. It melts in beautifully and offers amazing coverage. Scars from previous pimples and redness from current ones completely disappeared. I am very happy and relieved that this lived up to the hype!
The concealer is $73 at Nordstrom and is available in nine shades. Concealer Broad Spectrum SPF 25

Hi all – My son loves the magic treehouse books and we listen in the car and in the house when he asks. I, on the other hand, cannot listen to another one without losing my mind! Would really appreciate recommendations for a book series for 4-6 year olds with good audiobooks. Open to any subject matter. Thank you!!!
Any tips for removing the white residue that builds up with daily application of zinc oxide sunscreen? Soap and water does not work. I can scrape it off with a fingernail or rub it off with a towel if I press really hard, but both leave my kid’s skin raw and red so I would love to find something gentler.
Any advice on best type of blanket to send to daycare for 1yo? Seemingly zillions of blankets given to us as gifts, yet I can’t seem to figure out what is best for this (to use on cot for naptime). thanks all!
Book rec, my mom sent us a copy of The Suitcase and it is very kind and sweet. And also helpful for explaining things they might see on the street or on the news re refugees.
How do I learn to braid my 4yo’s hair? I can French braid my own hair no problem but am hopeless at doing hers. Do I just need to practice? Should I watch videos? Am I using the wrong tools? Help!
Thanks again to everyone who commented a few weeks ago on my daughter’s needed MRI/strabismus. She was a champ & really didn’t need any sedation/anesthesia. (That would have been an major overreaction, I know now – but why did the doctor bring it up?) The worse part was putting in the IV, but she listened to music and was perfectly still for the hour long test. We got ice cream on the way home. I played amateur radiologist that night, worried myself to no end, and was very relieved the next morning when the real radiologist said everything was normal. Still no known cause for sudden on-set, severe eye issue, but at least it isn’t a brain tumor! We are just monitoring for the next few months and then will determine next steps. I’m grateful for this community.
Looking ahead to winter and anticipating another round of lockdowns (even if just voluntary, since no one is wearing a mask or seemingly taking any precautions in my area). What non-essential thing(s) can I stock up on now to make things more enjoyable? So far on my list:
– new board games, activity books, puzzles for the kids;
– wine, nice cheese, and olives for happy hours at home;
– better house shoes;
– nail polish and face masks;
– a couple of sewing projects and materials;
– a better document shredder, plenty of printer paper/legal pads, my favorite highlighters, and a filing cabinet.
What would you add? Anything unexpected that made WFH or virtual learning less miserable? Something you wished you had the first go round that might be back in stock now?
FTM of an 8 month old, so this is my first Prime Day. Advice on diaper-buying strategy? We have our 20% diaper discount on top of any prime day deals; and if there is a sale that I can stack I want to take full advantage. DD is in 3s now, and likely needs at least two more boxes of those. Maybe 4 boxes of 4s and 4 boxes of 5s? More? We want to save money where we can, and are fine donating unused diapers to the church if necessary, but.. we don’t want to waste a ton of money (and storage!) either.
Anyone else here have good ideas for dealing with jealous in-laws? My MIL/ FIL live overseas, away from all grandkids, and they haven’t seen anyone since last Xmas. I’m not sure when we’ll see them next, particularly as FIL is recovering from cancer treatment and I’m pregnant with baby #2.
My own parents came to visit over the summer, are planning to visit again soon, and are going to help us out after baby #2 arrives, which may involve us moving to be closer to them. I never anticipated moving back to my home city, even for just a year or two, but here we are. DH only gets two weeks paternity leave, so family help is going to be critical.
I totally get that this is an incredibly difficult situation for my in-laws. They’re isolated, they’re in their 70s, it 100% sucks that all the travel plans we had for this year have been canceled. But after finding out about our potential move, they are taking out their anger on DH, and it has really crossed a line in terms of emotional abuse. This is an ongoing pattern, btw–we’ve had to limit their access to photos of DS with my side of the family, they count (inaccurately) the days we spend on vacation with them vs with my family, etc. They are only happy when they perceive themselves to be the top priority.
Do you have jealous in-laws? How do you deal with them? How do you support your spouse? MIL/ FIL have really exhausted my sympathy over the years, so I am having a hard time with this.
Any recommendations for a microscope to be used with a 9 year old? I’m looking for something he can use (maybe with the help of his 12 year old brother), so not janky but not too delicate (or pricey).
Does anyone have a good viagrette salad dressing recipe to share? I need to mix it up. Thank you!
I was planning to post here for advice on my challenging four-year-old. But I kept not having time, etc. and now his behavior has almost completely resolved. I am posting this just as a reminder (mostly to myself) that so much is just a phase!
