I recently went away for a long weekend and forgot lip balm. I should have stopped at Sephora and picked this one up.
This lip balm from Fresh contains rose flower and emollient oils along with Vitamin E to soften, moisturize, and protect your lips.
This “Clean at Sephora” product is also formulated without ingredients that may be harmful to your health and the environment — I find this reassuring for anything I put on my face, especially my mouth.
This Rose Petal-Soft Deep Hydration Lip Balm is $24 at Sephora.

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?
On last week’s laundry topic, adding “check every single toddler pocket” to my list after this weekend. Ran several crayons through the dryer and made a rainbow. Fortunately it was mostly just kid clothes harmed. Wishing everyone a bright week ahead!
A follow-up on the discussion re. passports from last week. We were passing the US consulate yesterday (en route to the Lego store!) and my son got very excited by the sight of the American flag… because he thinks it is the NASA flag and was very excited by the “NASA office!” I get the feeling I’m not doing very well raising this half American, half English, Scotland-raised child.
As a political scientist who works on nationalist politics and national identity, I’m looking forward to using him as a future research subject.
Hi there – I am one of the commenters that was due with a baby soon. Baby arrived about a month early on 2/22/22! I was induced due to preeclampsia that popped up suddenly – my pregnancy had been very “boring” per my OB and I’ve never had BP issues in my life, so this was quite a disappointing development and I had no symptoms other than the high BP at my check-up that sent me to the hospital. Things escalated quickly from there, but we are all healthy and at home now, so feeling very lucky!
Because I plan for this to be my last maternity leave, I’m looking for ideas for things that made your own maternity leaves great. My last one was completely derailed due to covid, so I’m hoping to “do it right” this time around. I am completely cut off from work until July. Outside of the obvious — getting used to an additional family member, helping my other two (7yo and 2yo) adjust to baby, resting and recovering, dealing with all of the baby things — is there something you did on your leave that you really look back on and thought it was a great idea? Or maybe something that was not-so-great? We’re hoping to move soon and I was thinking about trying to go through about one room per week to clean and purge in anticipation of that. Is this a horrible idea? I am also looking forward to daily stroller walks with baby once temperatures go up a smidge. Thanks for any ideas!
Any recommendations for the best time to start pumping if you are prone to oversupply? With my last two kids I started really early, at around a week, but I worry that early start contributed to my oversupply issues. I’d really like to avoid that this time. On the other hand it would be good to have some extra milk on hand so I can go on errands, etc. Baby is now 2 weeks old and will be starting daycare at around 10 weeks.
Any recommendations for family photography shoots in Kauai (Lihue)? Looking for an affordable package deal – a set rate for a 30 minute shoot, gallery of say 15 photos, and you get the digital file and not just prints. We are not picky. Thank you for any recommendations.
There have been some great conversations about toxic family members in the past weeks–my situation is (luckily!) very different, but I’m hoping for advice that can help me reframe my interactions/relationship with my sister. I feel that she really does love me in her way, but her way means that she’ll see me twice a year at major holidays. I’m stuck in this pattern where I end up doing the vast majority of reaching out and relationship maintenance, and it will be fine for six months or so, and then she’ll cancel again and I get hurt. I want to stop this cycle of getting hurt and just accept that she is who she is, but I haven’t been able to get there.
Part of this predated me having children, but now that I have two young ones, it’s amplified it. (Ok fine, you don’t really want to hang out with me, but my kids are cool and also the only niblings you have.) For context, she’s my younger sister and while we live in the same city, our lives are extremely different. She’s in a creative, non traditional industry, while I’m a lawyer. As a result, it can be hard to find times that work for both of us. The last time she saw my kiddos/came to my house was on Thanksgiving. She was supposed to come over this weekend but cancelled the day before because something came up with work. Frankly, my kids only kind of know who she and her partner are, and I feel sad about that. I do also make time to see her kid-free; I’ve visited her apartment once in the covid-era because she is quite covid-cautious. We actually seemed to get a bit closer during the pandemic, but now I think that’s kind of because her industry shut down and she didn’t have anything better to do. FWIW, my husband thinks I give her a hard time (which is not something I want to do). I’ve accepted that I can’t change her, and that raising it with her doesn’t really change anything, but how do I get over having my feelings hurt? Feeling like a 15 year old!
Did you all see the news about the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine on kids 5-11? I just saw it reported in the NY Times this morning. I’m very disappointed with the results. I don’t have a child in that age range (mine are younger), but it seems like the relief parents felt at getting their child vaccinated will be severely limited now that we know it is almost completely ineffective at preventing infection (though still effective at preventing hospitalization).
We’re taking our just turned 4 year old to Europe in a couple weeks. We haven’t used a stroller at home or when flying domestically in over a year, but I feel like we should bring it with us on this trip, right? We normally walk a lot in European cities.
