Makeup & Beauty Monday: Ultra HD Matte Setting Powder

Make Up For Ever’s setting powder was one of my first fancy makeup purchases. It’s still my favorite setting powder if you want a lightweight, matte finish. Your makeup from 7:00 a.m. still looks fresh at 7:00 p.m. — it’s smudge-proof, sweat-proof, and waterproof.
This setting powder also blurs imperfections and comes in six shades. Just a little goes a long way.
It’s available at Sephora for $37.

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?
Can anyone provide guidance on how to find a marriage counselor that “fits”? Specifically my husband and I have different approaches to parenting our kids as they are hitting teenage years and I think having a neutral party may help. Thanks!
I needed a new weekend outfit and – unexpectedly – found some great options at Loft. We’re still doing most kid stuff outdoors and I grabbed a pair of high waisted cords, a sweater, and a simple long sleeved t-shirt.
I haven’t been clothes shopping since March 2020 with the exception of a couple replacement pieces and just was feeling kinda shabby. Anybody else pick up something that they’re digging lately?
We put our 2 year old to bed around 8, but he’s recently started talking to himself in his bed until around 9:30. Since he doesn’t seem upset, we don’t usually go in, and it’s cute to hear him talk to his stuffed animals and repeat things he learned in the day. But should we be doing something to help him get to sleep faster?
Does anyone have a housekeeper as a household employee vs. an independent contractor? We’ve had a nanny before who was paid on the books, so I have a general idea of what this would encompass. We’d like someone to come in around 6 hours per week,and I really think I’d like the flexiblity of the person being able to run errands, help with some organization, etc. Is this stupid? Thanks!
We currently live in downtown DC and have our son in a private corporate-type daycare downtown. We’re moving to the MD suburbs and are trying to figure out childcare — we can keep him at the downtown daycare, but it’s not terribly close to our jobs (which are also still remote right now). We’d be happy to switch to a preschool by our new neighborhood, but I haven’t found any that provide full-day care (we’d need 9-5 at least). Do we need to switch to a nanny? What do other folks do?
Has anyone gotten the booster shot for Pfizer/Moderna? I’m very confused about whether I qualify – not a frontline healthcare worker but I am required to work in the office with unmasked people, masks are no longer required on the elevators in our building, etc.
one of my 3 year old twins when she is upset/tantrumming likes to have a grownup be nearby and then likes a hug/cuddle when she is done letting it out. i’m glad that i know exactly what she needs. the problem is figuring out how to attend to this need when i have two kids but only one of me (when DH isn’t home) and the other one needs something else. this saturday DH was at work, both kids were in a mood, wanting to both sit on all of me, climbing on each other, hair pulling, refusing to get dressed, etc. twin A really needed to sit and be cuddled and maybe read stories, while twin B needed someone to play pretend play with her. twin B got so upset and said she wished she could return twin A to the sister store and that we could have two mommies. i did my best to acknowledge her feelings, that it is really hard two have two kids and one mommy and to have to share mommy, etc., while also acknowledging the hurt feelings of twin A, and I started crying bc i just felt so badly (and honestly, i often felt like this with my own sibling growing up and we dont have the best relationship and i wanted different for my kids). i was impressed twin B could articulate her feelings, but i felt like i was failing both kids. yesterday DH was home and he took twin A to do something and I took twin B, but being a mom is hard!
Housewarming gift ideas in the $200-$300 range? For a family Member who’s done a lot for us that we are going to visit soon. Much appreciated.
I got a call from my sons preschool that hes being more aggressive in the last week. Pushing a chair or pushing friends. He will be 2.5 at the end of this month. He’s in a Montessori program and he’s one of the older ones in his class and the aggression is targeted at younger kids. I feel awful and I’m not sure what to do. He’s kind of a rough-housing type kid at home too and it’s a big issue with our 4.5 year old too, but Previously, the aggression was only at home with sister and I thought it was normal sibling stuff. Is there any kind of therapy or anything I need to look into? Is this normal? My daughter was not aggressive in any way ever.
How is everyone coping with childcare issues burnout? We haven’t had completely normal childcare since the pandemic started (for example, our older daughter is in kindergarten at a private school but we are not doing before and after care due to the covid risk). In the pre-pandemic days we addressed childcare problems with outsourcing, but that has been difficult now with covid and my immunocompromised status. Has anyone quit due to these issues? Taken some time off? Or have you found coping strategies to just keep taking each day one at a time? Curious to see how others are hanging in there! Thanks in advance!
How do you handle Halloween candy? This is the first year my kid was old enough to get a substantial haul.
My kids haven’t had a playdate in a while. Our latest one was where the mom dropped off about an hour later than planned and then came about 1.5 hours later than planned. Mom and kiddo were texting throughout so kid knew mom would be late, but she neve reached out to me even though she had my #.
It has been a while since our kids have done visiting, but did this become OK during the pandemic? I get running 15 minutes late, but an hour? On both ends?
My employer just announced – day one benefit for all employees – 4 weeks of PAID leave for the birthing parent. I know it’s just a trickle for what is needed but this means things are changing…right?! Right? All we’ve had to date is the FMLA/STD/PTO mix. I’m done having kids but if this makes ANYONE able to take even one day longer of ML I’m here for it!!!!!!!!
