Weekend & Family Friday: Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool

I originally found out about this skincare tool because I ordered a jade roller on Amazon and a gua sha stone came with it for free. As it turns out, I like the gua sha tool so much more than the jade roller that I use it almost exclusively. I find that when I use it after applying a moisturizer or oil, it gets the circulation going in my face and leaves my skin brighter. Also, when I am stressed, I hold a lot of tension in my face, jaw, and frown lines, and this tool helps loosen those face muscles at the end of a long day. I like how this particular one has a cutout specifically for massaging the jawline. It is $28 at Sephora and is available in jade, rose quartz, and amethyst. Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- 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?
I’m wondering if anyone has any thoughts or direct experience with this particular travel situation…I’ll be flying from NY to LA with my husband, 1 yr old twins, and 4 yr old. The plane configuration is rows of 3 seats. In a perfect world, I’d avoid having either me or my husband in a middle seat for a long flight as we’re both tall. The twins will have their own seats, in car seats. Airline website says window seats are preferred for car seats. Do I plan to configure us with one row of two car seats (window, middle) with adult on the aisle, and then another row with 4 yr old in middle seat and adult in aisle? Or do I have each baby in a window seat, with one adult then having to sit in the middle? Wondering if we will get a little leeway since traveling with two babies.
I know there are some BOBW podcast listeners on here. Did anyone listen to the recent episode with Matt and Joel talking personal finance? They both have SAH spouses and there were several points that made me grimace – especially coming from theoretical personal finance advisers.
Note I have nothing against SAHMs and in another world I would be one. But the analysis that “childcare costs are expensive so at the point of having two kids it makes sense for a lot of spouses to stay home” was way too simplistic and short-sighted and made me discount everything else these guys were saying! Glad Sarah called them out on it just a little bit, and wish that had been a real conversation.
Remind me that for long term earnings and independence it’s good to maintain a salary? But also I can stay at home if I want to? I do agree with what they emphasized that it’s all about having choices. But I want to hear a personal finance podcast talk about the long term earnings loss of women dropping out of the workforce – any good episodes?
Baby has started rolling over (and trying to crawl off!) on the changing table — any suggestions on how to stop this, or distract him so I can clean him properly? Thanks!
Help, We’re TTC for baby #2, I’m 36. Got pregnant on our first month trying using OPK at 33. Been trying again with OPK for 5 months, but also have only had my period back for like 9 months since weaning, so maybe my cycle is still regulating?
I’m due for a well-woman and also would need a new OB for this pregnancy, so I have an appt scheduled with a new OB. When not pregnant I see my GP for well-woman exams, and I love her. Can OB’s help with TTC more than my GP would? beyond general advice? I need yearly routine lab work and a physical for my work’s health insurance “wellness” bonus, so I’d rather not have to also go to my GP for that, if I can instead do both that and well-woman with her. I’ve only ever seen an OBGYN when pregnant, not for routine care, but I know lots of women only have an OBGYN though and not a GP, how does that work? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP LADIES!
TW: Cancer and child loss
Oof just got the news that an acquaintance’s preschooler’s cancer has returned and it’s terminal. Is there anything I could be doing besides commenting supportively on social media posts and making a donation in the child’s memory when the time comes? I live on the other side of the country and really don’t know her well at all (we were high school classmates 20 years ago but never close friends) and she seems to have a very large circle of much closer friends lifting her family up at this terrible time.
Life is so unfair. This little girl has been through so much in her short life, but it really seemed like she would pull through and live until adulthood, if not a normal life expectancy, and now all of a sudden they’re talking in terms of weeks to months. I’ve teared about this half a dozen times already today.
