It’s only October, but I’m seeing holiday gift sets everywhere! Since I don’t wear makeup often, makeup sets have the perfect amount of product for me.
This mini lipstick set from Givenchy is an easy way to add a little couture to your look. Included are two shades of Le Rouge Sheer Velvet Matte Lipstick — a buildable sheer formula — and two shades of Le Rouge Interdit Intense Silk Lipstick — a pigmented, satin-matte formula. It’ll be hard to choose amongst these hydrating, long-wearing colors.
Givenchy’s Mini Le Rouge Couture Lipstick Set is $50 at Sephora.
P.S. Happy Diwali to those who celebrate!

Any specific pickler triangle recommendations for a 2 year old that don’t take up too much room (or at least fold up well)?
Was travelling Friday but to the poster asking about second kid and pumping etc – lean into the combo feeding! I started off with overproduction w/ my second, and had to actively control supply. Then he went through a growth spurt and I had to pump 3x/day to keep up. I slowly weaned myself off pumping sessions (I also got pretty frequent clogged ducts) and continued to b-feed him morning and night until around 15 months. If I didn’t travel for work I probably would have kept going, but I still had to lug all the paraphernalia onto the plane just for the morning and evening pumping sessions, even though I was dumping the milk. Sweet little munchkin loved his milky and it was still hard to wean, but at least we kept it going way longer than if I had pressured myself into an all or nothing mentality! I credit this community with helping me on combo feeding – search the archives and there are some great tips :)
Anyone here who has gone part time and regretted it? Lawyer here, not biglaw, opportunity to make a move to a role with less hours, less stress, and of course less pay. Part of me feels like I’m somehow giving up on my ambitious career self by doing this, but flexibility is more important than money right now for our family situation.
I want to thank everyone for your input last week on attending the celebration of life for the teen who passed away in my town. My kids and I went yesterday. It was gut wrenchingly difficult – both as a parent myself and to parent my kids through it. I doubt that the family noticed our presence, but we were present as part of the community and so many of our neighbors, teachers, friends, etc. were there.
My preschooler has an issue with jeans where they often reveal too much of her butt (to be graphic, you can sometimes see crack) when she’s sitting or lying on the floor to play. Does anyone know what this means size-wise? Are they too small? Too big? Is this just a thing that happens with little kids because of the weird positions they get in for play? We’ve tried a variety of different brands and sizes. She is pretty tall and about average weight for height. My husband thinks she needs to wear a belt but I’ve never seen a little kid using a belt as anything other than decoration. We normally dress her in leggings for this reason (which there are no issues with) but she has been asking lately about wearing jeans.
What are some of your favorite recipes that work for the whole family, especially if you have picky eaters? We really struggle to find things that everyone likes.
I’m pregnant with my second (third trimester) and have a toddler. I’ve been really scatterbrained recently. Ive forgotten kiddo’s flu vaccine appt TWICE, backed out of my driveway into a parked car (omg and I’ve been driving 20 years without a single parking ticket or accident?!), and the list goes on…
Is it the weather? Being pregnant? Being a mom? I used to be so *with* it and now I feel like a mess.
Ok weird rash/bump question: my oldest has had small, red, kind of shiny bumps on his feet the last few days that are itchy and seem to be spreading. Now my youngest has them on his feet, hands and around his mouth. I know the first thought is HFM…but they aren’t painful and there’s no fever or other signs of sickness. Any ideas? Could it be HFM and going to get worse?
So I’m due with my second child this week, and can’t kick this gross head cold. I’m not looking forward to labor when I can’t breathe. Any ideas???
Alternately, anything I should try to get set up/prepped/purchased that I’ve forgotten about? My eldest is 5, so it’s been a while…
Kids are finally healthy (knock on wood)- at least as of this moment but of course i wake up in the middle of the night with excruciating ear and throat pain, so I’m off to urgent care even though i really need to take my car in bc a light came on yesterday and DH is on a work trip in Europe. Definitely a case of the Mondays over here, so please share your weekend win to help turn my Monday around
