Beauty & Makeup Monday: Gotta Glow Lip Tint

I don’t know what possessed me to grab this lip tint — it was on a low shelf at CVS in a shiny silver box and, for some reason, I said, YES, let’s get a deep purple lip tint called “Perfect Berry” for $4. But here’s the news: I love this stuff. It’s affordable and a gentle wash of a color — it’s sort of a purpley/brown, similar to my old beloved Covergirl Lipslicks in Edgy (but minus any sort of weird cloying scent). I can’t find it many places online, and where they have it they have it in the “perfect pink” color — but I highly recommend the purple if you want a slightly deeper, darker color for a tint. It’s $6 online at E.L.F. Gotta Glow Lip Tint

- 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?
PSA for any allergy parents – the Peter Rabbit movie contains a scene where the characters attack someone with their allergen food until they suffer anaphylaxis. Character with allergy is not transported to hospital so that also minimizes the seriousness of anaphylaxis.
So disappointed as my 6 year old loves Peter Rabbit and that scenario is literally her worst nightmare. Have no idea how this ended up in a movie.
Can someone recommend a good scent free bug spray? Has anyone used the children formulas on themselves?
Thanks!
I’d like to send a valentines treat for my one-year old’s teachers (can you call them teachers? idk, but they’re angels.) – any good ideas? The easiest thing for me is a box of donuts bought on the way in, but are they going to get a bunch of sugar from everyone else that day too? Any cute ideas?
Similarly – my kid will be one next Monday. Bring treats for the class? They’re so young – he’s one of the oldest – so no one will get it and I’d probably just be throwing them off the schedule, right? Maybe I bring treats in for the teachers on Monday instead of V-day and let them celebrate his birthday?
Yes, I am clearly overthinking this!
Looking for advice and/or maybe just commiseration. My 7-month old is a great sleeper 6 nights out of 7, sleeping 7pm – 7am with a dream feed around 10:00pm. And on the 7th night, he wakes up around 3:30/4:00 AM. The *good* thing is that, when he wakes at 3:30 he isn’t crying – just sitting and babbling. We’ve done CIO so my instinct is to just leave him alone, but with the monitor, I can hear him babbling and of course can’t sleep through it. Eventually, the babbling turns into crying (last night after 45 minutes). We’ve tried going in and trying to get him back to sleep – usually my husband makes the attempt because I don’t want him to smell my milk and think he gets to nurse. We’ve tried going in earlier, we’ve tried letting him just be. Really, at whatever point we enter the room it immediately escalates into screaming. Last night my husband stuck him in the carseat and went for a drive – which is not a long term solution, but that way at least two of us got to sleep.
I have no idea what to do. Seems like it only happens on weekends, but this is an awful way to start Monday morning. Any ideas?
When I was that age, my mom would go with me and my brother to visit a woman in a retirement home that didn’t have any family in the area to visit. It’s probably the one “useful” thing young kids can do, since these were seniors who signed up so they could interact with young people.
I would like to start engaging my 5 year old in some volunteer activities on the weekend but not sure what would be kid appropriate. What sort of volunteering do you do with your child, and at what age did you start? Seems like a soup kitchen wouldn’t want a kid to volunteer, but correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks!
I’m not sure who to talk to about this, so I hope you ladies have some advice. I am an anxious person by nature and often have sleep difficulties. For the past two years, it has been particularly bad, in part due to the election (I know that sounds silly, but the current parties in power have negatively impacted my family and also I live in an area where white supremacist and sexist rhetoric is on the rise and I encounter it frequently in my job), but also due to circumstances with my husband’s job where he’s been impacted negatively by a highly abusive situation. I also miscarried and then got pregnant again after the election and now have a 5-month baby.
To give you an idea of how badly I’ve slept, I went through the entire exhausting first trimester averaging three hours of sleep a night while working full-time with a toddler! I can’t even describe that!
Anyway, in the last month, I’ve hit my roughest part. I’m just not sleeping–I get panicky thinking about everything. And when I do finally get to sleep, the baby wakes up to nurse, so I’m probably averaging 3-4 hours of sleep per night, but that is frequently interrupted.
I’m planning on speaking to my doctor about this, but I really don’t think this is specifically post-partum anxiety. My baby doesn’t make me feel anxious and things with her are fine–though I am sleep deprived, so there’s that! And I’m actually fairly functional on so little sleep, but I know its not ok and I just hate lying in bed each night not sleeping and feel panicked. I also want to keep nursing, so any medicine needs to be okay for that. And I live in a rural area where any counseling services are at least an hour drive one way, so the idea of driving frequently for that and fitting it into my schedule is leaving me equally stressed out.
I don’t even know what kind of advice I need. Advice on meds from your own experience? Whether post-partum stuff could still be making this worse even if it’s not tied directly to the baby? Things I can do to help myself?
Thank you for any advice you have to share!
Just started pumping on my new Spectra over the weekend and it is GREAT. Thanks to everyone who recommended it! So far it’s both gentler and more efficient, but more importantly I’m so thrilled to never hear that Medela pump sound again. It echoes through my nightmares still.
For those of you with nannies, how do you handle sick days (or vacation days) with regard to overtime? Our nanny called out sick one day last week. She normally works 45 hours a week, but only worked 37 last week, plus the sick time. We have paid sick leave, but never talked about whether it would count towards overtime or not. Legally, I know we don’t have to give it to her, but it seems like a pay cut for her if we don’t– especially if she takes a week of vacation and doesn’t get any OT rate for the week.
Just a shout-out for their great customer support! Our 2016 cruz stroller was damaged when we gate-checked it, and we could not figure out to fix it- they are sending a new frame! We’ve loved the stroller system so far and I’m so thrilled we won’t have to get a new stroller.
If you’re still having difficulty with a blocked duct (I hope not though!) I got them a lot while bre@stfeeding and what worked best was a hot compress for 2-3 minutes and then very firm massage *while* feeding.
Looking for recommendation on the easiest way to share (privately) photos and videos of the kids with geographically distant, not terribly tech savvy relatives. They use email and the web, but don’t have smartphones and don’t use Facebook. Thoughts?
I think this has come up before but I can’t find it.
My parents’ cat died recently and my 2 year old keeps asking to see the cat every time we FaceTime. We’ll be going to visit soon. How would you address this? So far we have just avoided the topic by saying that the kitty isn’t there now.
