Confession — I’m still using Urban Decay’s original Naked eyeshadow palette. I love the universally flattering neutrals and all-day wear. Now, I’m finally ready to try something bolder.
Their Naked Wild West Eyeshadow Palette features 12 “desert-inspired neutrals,” including the surprisingly versatile “Bud (soft turquoise shimmer)” and “Tex (deep blue-green matte).” These blendable and buildable eyeshadows range from matte to metallic, so you can go subtle or daring. I usually wear just one color at a time, but these colors are begging to be blended together for depth and dimension.
This eyeshadow palette is $49 and available at Sephora.

- 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…

- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Recs for a little toilet to potty train my son who is 2 years and 9 months? There are so many options…thank you in advance!
we are trying to buy a house. we recently inherited 200k in cash (post tax) and 450k in an inherited IRA (inherited in 2019 so subject to the old rules for anyone knowledgeable about withdrawal rules). we have savings of 550k in cash and 420k in an investment account. we have no debt currently. we have two small children and have some money in 529s for them. i realize we are extremely fortunate in what we have. i also would give anything to have my mother back rather than having watched her die a slow, painful death. we have figured out how much we can afford on an annual basis in terms of mortgage, carrying costs, etc. the housing market near us, like many places, is insane. we lost out on a house this weekend after a bidding war with the house going for 100k over asking. we could have bid 100k more, but the only way to make that affordable for us would’ve been by putting down a larger downpayment as to not increase the mortgage. DH and I both feel strange having this money that we didn’t earn and feel like we should not use it to enable a house purchase and should save it (not sure for what). are we being dumb?
My son has been vehemently anti-water for the 9 months, crying if we asked him to dip his toe in or his feet got wet. We went to the beach with some friends yesterday and I didn’t even pack a swimsuit for him, as “T won’t go in!” He spent an hour running through the surf yelling “I’m in the sea, I love the sea!” Which I now realise was entirely inspired by the book Little Crab. Annoyingly, I didn’t bring my swimsuit b/c he normally gets super anxious if I’m in the water, and comes and tries to drag me out, but I could have had a proper swim yesterday! Why are kids so fickle?
My 5 year old is starting to exhibit anxiety that is concerning to me. He freaks out if we close the door to the bathroom during bath (we always have done that to keep it cozy), or basically close the door in any small-ish space. He insists I leave the drivers door to car open when putting him into his carseat. He gets worried if he knows he will be getting in the car in the near future and asks me to “do it in the special pattern so he feels comfortable”. A few months ago he the nanny somehow locked the keys in the car and had to get the spare keys from inside to get him out….. but that was like 4 months ago and it just seems to be bothering him now.
Should I just be sensitive to him and plug along? Talk to pediatrician? Is there any way to nip this in the bud?
Help me figure out what to do in terms of a convertible car seat for extended rear facing. We ordered the Graco Extend2Fit but between two adults and several hours, we still cannot get it installed correctly with a seat belt in our Honda Odyssey (it’s fine in my car, weirdly.) No matter how hard we try, it still moves around well more than 1 inch. The latch install is better but our kiddo is big and will hit the latch limit before we are ready to turn him around. Ideas? Suggestions? Recommendations for a different extended rear facing seat? I’m at a loss. I’ve never had this problem with a carseat before.
We chose this seat based on reviews and particularly the crash test ratings at BabyGearLab. I was feeling very confident in our choice until we tried to install it.
does anyone have any kind of lap desk that they use for flying with kids? i can’t tell if they are all too bulky and are meant for car rides or if they woudl also work for planes
My 4.5 yo started big kid camp today (bus to a location, I think this is a nyc thing) and needs to carry so much stuff. His skip hop backpack was filled to the brim and couldn’t fit his lunch bag and basically he was toppling over. Advice on what to do? Buy a bigger backpack? Send a small tote? Thanks!
We have a long drive up the 95 corridor coming up (DC to Boston). Any suggestions for places to stop along the way with preschoolers? Open to good rest stops and longer diversions to give kids a chance to run around. Is the Bronx Zoo as convenient off the highway as google maps makes it look? Could that be a 2-hour detour or would that be 20 mins in the zoo and 90m of exit ramps, parking, and ticket buying?
Can anyone recommend sun hats/baseball hats for kids with, he hem, enormous heads? :). Preference to anything I can find on Amazon (I know, I know) or Target because I need it in the next two days. Thank you!
We’re going to be buying a convertible carseat soon, leaning toward the Britax One4Life. Two cars, and one parent handles daycare dropoffs and the other handles pickups, so we need two carseats. Is it better to get two of the same, and then a cheaper/lighter carseat for grandparents to use or in case we ever get on a plane again, or should we get one comfy seat for the car we use for longer trips and use the cheaper/lighter carseat in the other car?
(Apologies if this posts more than once – I got the “posting too quickly” message on the first attempt.)
My SIL is preparing for a home birth with a midwife with her 3rd child (my brother’s first). Her second was a home birth and first was unmedicated hospital birth so this isn’t her first rodeo. I’ve been asked to join the birth support group to keep my brother and their other two kids supported and calm.
I had an epidural hospital birth so I feel totally unprepared. I’ve asked multiple times if there’s anything specific I should bring, and they said no. I am feeling a little anxious.
Anyone on here have a home birth or things that someone could have done to make your birth easier? I’m planning to bring coffee, make the kids food, run laundry if needed, and take care of their dogs. I want to stay out of the way, but be helpful.
