Sure, you can get very nice nail polish at the drugstore, but Deborah Lippmann’s colors are just divine.
This polish has 10 active ingredients that deliver healthy nails, long wear, and beautiful shine. You get the gloss of a gel manicure without the damage. Just apply like any other polish (base coat, color, topcoat) for a straight-from-the-salon look.
Deborah Lippmann’s Gel Lab Pro Color is $20 at Nordstrom. It comes in 17 colors, including several office-friendly neutrals like Modern Love.

Looking for new bathing suits. I typically get some from Lands End but looking for something different. Any suggestions?
My 16 month old is pretty picky. The foods she likes are relatively healthy but they’re limited. She eats a variety of textures and food groups; it’s not a sensory issue. What are some ideas for expanding her palate? I introduce new foods along with safe foods, and she either ignores the unwanted food or throws it. I have read tips like involving them in meal prep or making it a game like “who can crunch this pepper the loudest” but she’s still a bit young to really get that. I don’t want to force the issue but I also don’t want her to be picky forever! Just keep introducing foods and hope that eventually she’ll try them? She’s a small kid with a small appetite, if that matters.
when do kids become better at managing their emotions. i feel like we had fewer meltdowns at age 2, than we did at age 3 and now age 4
Has anyone gone to a psilocybin retreat outside the US to assist in treatment-resistant depression? It seems scary to be that vulnerable in a new place. My therapist doesn’t know of any place but I would do this with the full knowledge of my therapist and psychiatrist who practice harm reduction and would help me long term.
anyone have a rec for a Disney planner? or has anyone used someone that they would not recommend?
Has anyone used the raspberry pi computing curriculum to teach your kid programming? I think my son would enjoy it, but looking for actual experiences. Thank you!
My SO’s daughter is elementary school age. We get kiddo every third week for a week, the other two weeks she spends with her other mom. Lately when she’s at our place, she’s waking up in the middle of the night multiple times per night. Every time, she yells or comes in for my SO (“MOOOOOMMMM”). I know this happens with kids, but I’m at wits end for sleep loss. Is it rude to sleep with some kind of ear bud, or even in another room? Or do those tricks even work? I know SO struggles with it too, but she is also able to fall asleep when kid does while I am usually still working for another few hours.
My 11 year old daughter is experiencing a lot of friend group drama at school and feeling very insecure. Any tips or tricks for surviving this phase? I’d also love some age appropriate book, tv show, or movie recommendations that have characters going through similar struggles. We loved reading and watching Wonder.
Has anyone else’s toddler managed to fully stand up in the Tripp Trapp chair? My fourteen-month-old manages to get up on her feet and wave a pancake in the air triumphantly. Do I need to make an adjustment to the chair? Get rid of the tray? Make peace with buckling her in, which she hates? Neither of the other two kids did this, or at least not as successfully.
We have had two different relatives knit sweaters for the baby. I really appreciate the time and effort that went into them. That being said, the baby is now more or less the right size for them, and I kind of don’t love them. I tried them on and sent a picture to each person with words of appreciation. But one of them is sort of scratchy and the other is cotton but super stiff with a collar that turns up into her face. The fit is also a bit off – body is too large, sleeves are too short. They were both removed immediately and replaced but our fave store-bought sweatshirts. I guess I’m asking for permission to donate? I feel guilty because of the time people put in. Or is there some trick to homemade sweater appreciation I’m missing?
