If you’re like me and find lipstick too fussy, consider a lip oil like this one from Kulfi.
This glossy lip oil is both long-lasting and hydrating. The rich stain lasts without transferring, while ingredients like mango seed oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E nourish and moisturize dry winter lips. Choose from nine shades for your upcoming New Year’s Eve celebration.
Lassi Lips Staining Lip Oil is $24 at Sephora.

My youngest (newly 5) has started hitting me when he doesn’t like what I am telling him to do. This is new, and I feel like should have been long outgrown by now (this board has always been great to remind me that sometimes these “toddler” behaviors have to be dealt with longer than we think).
It doesn’t hurt but it’s jarring and then triggers me. After things cool down, I ask him why he hit, he tells me (usually some version of “I was frustrated”) and then I tell him it made me sad, and he apologizes. I feel like I’m missing something here.
I should also add while we had a great overall holiday, there was some family health stuff that really put a sad cast on everything, AND this kid does not do well with unstructured “chill” days at my MIL’s house so there was some behavior then, too. Next time I’ll be sure to make sure to plan more outings with DH, but our heads just weren’t in the right place.
The holidays are useful reminders of what my mom gets right and what she struggles with (and because I am my mother’s child, what I am probably getting right and struggling with!).
She nails the right number/blend of presents for each kid. No cheap junk that you donate right after they leave. Nothing unsafe for the youngest kid in the house. Not too much stuff that everyone is drowning.
On the other hand, this was a great reminder of the motto “if you can’t do it joyfully, don’t do it at all.” Good reminder to undercommit on logistics so I can overdeliver on calm and kindness and not being snippy.
TW: miscarriage. I have a longer post on the main site, but wanted to check in here for additional thoughts from anyone who doesn’t read over there. TLDR: my SIL had a miscarriage right before Christmas — when she and my brother were coming to meet my baby for the first time. It was understandably hard for everyone. What can I do to continue to support them in their grief from afar?
Hope everyone who celebrates had a nice Christmas!
