Makeup & Beauty Monday: Lip and Cheek Stick

I’ve been eager to try Bobbi Brown’s latest venture, Jones Road, for a long time — this lip and cheek multitasker is my top pick.
This lip and cheek stick glides on smoothly for a lightweight wash of color. Since it’s blendable and buildable, you can customize the intensity — use it with other blushes or lip colors you already own for a custom shade. Just toss one of the eight rich and flattering shades into your bag and you’re set for the day.
Jones Road’s Lip and Cheek Stick is $34.

Looking for activity ideas that are easy to pack in a backpack for a four year old to do during down time while traveling. Think along lines of wiki sticks, crayon and paper, sticker books…anything else that is easy to bring along? This will be used while we wait for subways, take buses, at restaurants waiting for food to show up etc. So nothing too loud, too messy, or too big. We don’t do screens.
I’ve got the travel bug. Is it too much to think I could do a trip to Paris, Lyon, and Madrid in 7-8 days? My gut says that two countries is too much. But I want to go all the places that we can on one transatlantic flight! I’ve never yet traveled internationally with kids (will be 4 and 8 at trip time).
I just got one of these from the Ulta brand and really like it. I prefer a very easy makeup routine for most days, and it’s handy. Plus, the “generic” version was maybe $7 or so?
Week 3 of potty training: DS will only go in the small potty and is afraid of regular toilets. Daycare can’t have a small potty in the classroom due to sanitary reasons, we’re told. Bathroom is across the hall. He’s had a lot of accidents at school and the staff are near the end of their rope, and are putting a diaper on him for part of the day (he was already wearing a diaper for nap time). Been following the Oh Cr*p method and trying to avoid pull ups but maybe they will help him continue to make progress with less mess? Tell me it gets better!
(I saw this discussed recently but can’t find the thread, so apologies for that.)
I’m traveling to NYC with my kids this March. They’re 5 and 8 yo. Any recommendations for a family-friendly hotel in Manhattan? I last stayed in a hotel in NYC over 20 years ago, during my college visits!
