I’ve let my nail routine slide over the past few months. While multiple steps involving a base coat, color, and topcoat seem too much, a one-step mani is completely doable.
This set of six translucent polishes is like tinted lip balm for your nails. These sheer hues enhance your natural nails while nourishing and strengthening them. Just apply a coat or two and you’re finished — no base or topcoat needed.
Londontown Perfecting Nail Veil Polish Set is $44.20 (on sale!) at Nordstrom.

what do people do with their kids on their actual bdays? this is our first year when our twins bday falls on a weekend – or i should say the first year they are aware it is their bday. we tried to schedule their bday party for that day, but the venue was already booked so we had it a week early. i know as a kid i always had lots of big feelings on my bday – the anticipation/excitement and then it didn’t necessarily live up to my expectations or it did, but the letdown of it being over, etc.
I like this nail polish but it like it is full price? Is there a code for the sale?
do you do end of year teacher gifts as well as teacher appreciation week? We have teacher appreciation week this week but last day of school is May 17 for one kid and May 22 for my others. It feels like a lot for one month! Historically I’ve done an end of year gift and sent the kids in with a card or similar for this week, but we got emails encouraging small gifts from the room parents.
Has anyone had a kid diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder? I was submitting my DD’s therapy to insurance and saw her therapist diagnosed her was “ruling out IED” but when I looked up IED… it sounded exactly like DD. She’s getting a full neuropsych eval this week which I’m very excited about. We desperately need help. I suspect she’s ADHD but with IED on the side. But who knows and of course I’ll leave it to the experts. But intermittent explosive disorder wasn’t something I was familiar with so curious about others’ experience and what ended up helping your kid. Thanks all!
What’s the 2024 equivalent of Love’s Baby Soft? My 10yo recently found a perfume sample from one of my Sephora orders and is newly obsessed. I don’t want to set her loose in Bath and Body works, but wouldn’t mind getting her something light and fruity or floral? Perfume is not my thing, so looking for any kind of recommendations.
I am so tired of my 7 year old running holes in his pants. All. Of. His. Pants. have holes in the knees. ALL OF THEM! Sweatpants, “tech” pants, chinos, jeans. I even bought the super expensive Lands End iron knee reinforced pants at almost 40$ a pop. Holes. I do not have time to be perpetually patching pants and I am at my wits end. I know it comes from him playing imaginatively and roughly and I dont want to stifle his physical outlets which his little body and brain needs in the midst of his school day, but at the same time we have to take care of our things! What is the solution here?
I have a very active two year old who requires almost constant supervision. Weekends are absolutely killing me right now. I didn’t know I could be this exhausted on an ongoing basis. My husband takes over completely Saturday late afternoon through Sunday morning so I get a break. I’m not doing a ton of housework but I am catching up on random things around the house (cleaning out the pantry, cooking a couple of meals, getting me and the kid organized for the week, etc.). Sunday night I can barely function and the last two weeks my feet have been aching for a couple of days after. I’ve been less patient with my kid Sunday night and Monday morning than I prefer and generally just don’t want to feel this way. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal for this phase of life? I’m my husband is very involved and supportive, I just don’t understand how I’m supposed to recharge when my down time is more exhausting than my work week?
Our preschool sent us a list of our teachers’ favorite restaurants and suggested giftcards for teacher appreciation week. Woudl it be tacky to get them Doordash cards instead? I don’t have the time to go to each of their restaurants to get separate gift cards.
I got one of these nail ”concealers” and just do not get the allure. It’s a neutral pearlescent color, you still need to make an effort to make it look good, and I felt like I fell for a marketing scam. Sincerely not sure why this is getting constant raves here. For me, best “low effort” manicure is either a plain all purpose top coat or if I have 4 min instead of 2, one coat of Essie’s sheer Pink Glove Service followed by one top coat of any top coat over.
There is absolutely no way I’m paying $45 for a bottle of nail polish. Nope.
Hope everyone had a nice weekend! We tried to go to brunch with my toddler, who up until now has been pretty content to sit in a high chair and much on croissant. But she just wanted to run around and shrieked every time we tried to sit down, so we took the food to go and went to run in the park in the rain. I guess that’s life with an almost two year old.
