I love spending a day in the pool on a hot day, but the skin under my eyes always look red and dry afterwards. Here’s a new hydrating under eye cream that might help.
This eye cream is a refreshing gel designed to plump and hydrate the delicate skin around your eyes. Made with one of my favorite ingredients, hyaluronic acid, it absorbs quickly so you can get on with your morning routine. It’s also free of fragrances, synthetic dyes, parabens, and phthalates.
Olay’s Hyaluronic + Peptide 24 Hydrating Eye Gel is $29.99 at Target.

Any recommendations for bibs? For eating purposes, not drooling purposes. Somehow all ours disappeared between children and I don’t remember what they were or if we liked them so I am starting afresh. Thanks!
Ugh….. I’m brand new at my job and Toddler brought HFM home from daycare and we all came down with it over the weekend, minus one kiddo who I think is coming down with it now. I’m pregnant and trying not to fall down the internet rabbit hole freaking myself out about possible miscarriages, complications, etc. Meanwhile, everyone spent the weekend cranky and miserable, myself included. There are certainly worse illnesses to have and I’m glad we aren’t dealing with 14 day quarantines etc. for every fever anymore… but UGH!
Anyone have suggestions for where to buy jeans for work? Need nice, no rips, and prefer to get away from skinny’s. I’m carrying 10 more pounds than I’d like to, but that may just be being in my 40s and I just want something that fits and is comfortable and ideally, flattering.
I just got the information for a conference where I’ve been invited to speak and it’s at the Greenbrier. Ugh ugh ugh. Colleagues who have been there report that the place is musty and fusty and it certainly looks that way. The room decor is going to give me nightmares, and not being able to throw on leggings and a baseball cap to grab a cup of coffee first thing in the morning will give me a rage headache. Now I remember why I have not really missed business travel. Who would voluntarily spend that much money to stay in what looks like a 1960s living history museum?
Just wanted to say thank you to those who weighed in on the post over the weekend about having my daughter try out for the nutcracker! She did try out so we’ll see. She has a good attitude about it and I think will be fine either way. And we can swing it if she does get a part although I so wish there was more information available about schedules etc before try outs!
I’m pregnant with my first child and my mom has offered to watch the baby when my husband and I go back to work. Does anyone here have a family member watching their child(ren), and have thoughts on pros and cons?
Relevant facts if helpful:
– both my parents are young (59 and 61) and in good shape (e.g., my mom plays tennis 4x a week)
– both parents work full; mom would retire; parents are financially comfortable and could both retire now
– I have a younger sibling who lives abroad and is probably 2-3 years away from having a child
– commute for my mom would be 45 minutes each way without traffic and an hour with traffic
– I have a good relationship with both my parents and see them frequently
Main things I worry about –
– The commute. My mom currently works a lot but remotely. Pre-COVID she worked in office from 7-3:30 which minimized traffic on her commute. Those hours will not work; I need coverage from roughly 9-5/5:30.
– Her not treating it like a job, for lack of a better way to phrase it. E.g., asking to leave early to make it home for plans. My sibling and I have been out of the house for 15 years now and she has a lot of autonomy
– Backup care – if they go on vacation, or are stick, I’m not sure how we would arrange for back up care
– Having to give her direction about how we want things done
– I currently work remotely most of the time and I feel like she’s way more likely to interrupt me than a nanny (or day care, obviously)
– If we want a weekend babysitter, or need to go away overnight, my parents will probably be less likely to watch the baby since they’re already providing so much care
I’d welcome thoughts on other pros/cons, or anything I’ve identified.
we’ve literally had less than two weeks of school and everyone is sick already. it’s going to be a long school year…
Does anyone work a non-traditional schedule with kids (eg some weekends or evenings but more flexibility during the work-week), and what is it like? That’s what’s mine is like and it works well when kids are little but wondering what it will be like as they get older.
Trying to do a toy purge while toddler is at daycare this week. Other than posting them for free on Nextdoor, any suggestions for what to do with them? Most of them are random noisy pieces of plastic. Not looking to resell them.
My street is doing a block party this weekend, and we’re new to the neighborhood — what do you think we should plan? I was thinking of baking cupcakes and maybe setting out a variety of seltzers (some alcoholic, some not) in a bucket of ice. I have been told people mingle and share beers/food/etc.
True confession – I don’t understand eye creams. What are they for? Where do I put them? I’ve tried a couple samples and they seem to make no visible difference. Are they just not a need for me yet?
