This one’s kind of weird, but it’s a hot tip I got from the readers of Corporette — if you hate doing your eyebrows in the summer (or, well, anytime) you can dye your eyebrows at home using men’s mustache dye.

How to Dye Your Eyebrows with Just For Men
I took the plunge myself last week — I first bought “medium brown,” on Amazon then got a bit concerned by the patch test that it was VERY dark, and when I happened to be in CVS I bought the next lighter shade and used that.

My concern was that it was going to “tattoo” the skin beneath my eyebrows and be too dark, but that did not happen (yay) and in fact was a very subtle, nice look — I may try the darker one the next time I do it (probably in a few days) to see if I prefer the darker look.
I used this guide from Glamour to help me.
Readers, we’ve talked about minimal mom makeup here and beauty treatments to save time over at Corporette — would you ever dye your eyebrows to save time?

OK, Target has the worst shipping. Every time I order something from there, I have an issue. I ordered something on 3 weeks ago. It was supposed to arrive 2 weeks ago. The tracking hasn’t been updated since 6/20. Is there a way for me to follow up without sitting on the phone with UPS or Target forever?
I need help figuring pumping logistics around interview. My daughter is turning 1 at the end of the month. I’m pumping twice a day and was planning on cutting the pumping over a month after she turns one. Supply is already not meeting the demand and I’ve been supplementing. I have an interview coming up in 2 weeks for a position that I’m really excited about. I will need to be on site from early morning to early afternoon. This has been very difficult to schedule given the busy schedule of all the faculty involved in the process so I don’t want to make things more complicated. I don’t want to bring attention to pumping given that it won’t be an need later on if a get the job. Should I start winding down to a pump a day sooner than planned in prevision of that? Do I pump in the car before/after and hope for the best? At this point in time I don’t feel strongly about making a case for accommodation with a potential employer. Any option I’m missing?
Just found out I’m pregnant with #2 after many months of trying! The kiddos will be about 3 years apart. I’m having the mixture of excitement and then oh sh*t, what did I just do to my finances. Are there any good resources (books or blogs) that people recommend for pregnancy and parenting when it’s not the first baby?
When my 18 month old son cries it instantly makes me incredibly stressed and agitated, almost to the point of anger. I have even tensely ask him to stop before (very rational, I know). The internet tells me that this happens to a lot of parents, but I didn’t see anyone who had a way to address it. Has anyone else experienced this and found a good solution? We are considering having a second child, and this is making me reconsider my ability to handle a second child, because I don’t think that regularly being stressed and angry around my child makes me a good mom.
Where do you store your videos taken with your cell phone? I reached my 5GB limit on my Amazon Prime account. Any ideas for free storage?
File system (and actual products used) for kids school stuff? Thinking yearly class pictures, report cards, etc. Maybe some art too.
At what age did you let your kid(s) play alone outside? We live out in the sticks, but on a main road. Our back yard isn’t fenced and in order to get to it, you have to walk out of our kitchen onto our deck, then down 3/4 of a flight of stairs to the back yard.
I used to always be outside with my kid, but lately she’s been asking to play on the swingset or with her soccer ball when i’m trying to get dinner made. I can *see* the back yard from the kitchen, but if she fell or got hurt or whatever, it’d take me a good 45 seconds-minute to get to her, especially if she’s on the swing set which is nearer to the rear of the yard.
We are renovating the basement which will by next year be a walk-out playroom/office/rec room with full bathroom. At that point, I know I’ll feel fine being inside in the basement where I can see her/hear her/get to her by running out the door straight into the yard. She knows not to go in the front yard– and the way it’s landscaped there’s basically an annoying uphill climb to do so. But she *could*.
Am I being a helicopter parent here, or is this not an appropriate age to let her play alone outside? Would a fence change things? (we’re getting a fence too, just not this summer).
Any suggestions on a weekend destination from Washington DC that is nature-oriented and enjoyable for toddlers? Just somewhere beautiful where we could take some walks and enjoy the scenery, within a 1-2 hour drive.
We have some family visiting from out of town and would like to take them to a nearby destination, as they have done the touristy thing in DC several times. We recently did Deep Creek Lake, so not that. We don’t want to do the Delaware beaches either. I was thinking Harper’s Ferry since it’s close, but not sure what there is to do with young kids.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
I recently used 1000 Hour lash and brow dye kit to color my eyebrows. I used Dark Brown and it turned out great. I’m fair with reddish hair.
For some reason, the Black dye did not work as well on my lashes.
We need to baby proof a couple cabinets (likely 5 total). Anyone have a favorite cabinet lock?
