I’m not a fan of spa facials myself, but I’m really interested in this $80 “Babyfacial” (AHA/BHA mask) from Drunk Elephant. (It’s $25 for the smaller size.) It has tons of great reviews and is one of Allure‘s “Best of Beauty” winners for 2017. (Sephora has a whole section for them.) The mask is meant for all skin types and is supposed to be used once a week. Ladies, what do you do for facials? Do you do any AHAs or other things like that? Do tell! T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial

Help! My three-year-old started at a new preschool last week and hates it. She held it together for most of the week but on Friday they did a lesson on halloween and the skeletons really freaked her out. She was totally unlike herself all weekend, not eating, not playing, just sad. I tried to talk to her and said that I know its hard to go to a new school and that we have to try to make friends and play and that if she really tries and still doesn’t like it, we can make a change. I am planning on going over there for snack time with cupcakes, so that we can have a party. The teachers are warm, but the permanent teacher was out for the last half of the week due to illness. Another complicating factor is that this is a language immersion school and kiddo doesn’t speak the language. I am confident that moving schools was a good decision on paper, but I am not so sure that it was a good idea in real life. She was so so happy at her old school. For anyone that has been through this, what worked? Will it just take time? Should I stay there for half a day until she adjusts?
Can anyone recommend a winter hat my picky 14 month old will actually wear? All kinds of summer hats were a firm no, as was the zutano fleece hat. I’m not going to even try the cute gap knit hats b/c I can’t imagine she’ll tolerate them. (And yes we have a coat with a hood but I’d love to have a hat for the colder days too.)
I got a sample sized one and I’m curious to try it. Currently I do a ‘strong’ 10% AHA (Paula’s choice) once a week, which does really seem to help keep larger hormonal breakouts at bay. I also use a BHA and differin daily, so I have a pretty high tolerance for acids. I can see this being A LOT for someone who has never used any acids before and only uses the marula oil to combat any dryness.
I was the anon last week stressing about not having any pregnancy symptoms at 5 weeks. I clearly jinxed myself, as I dry-heaved brushing my teeth this morning and feel like a wreck. Yay? Thanks to everyone who told me it was normal, though.
I have this, but I can never find time to use it. I did it once, I think, and didn’t notice a difference. I like their glycolic serum, which you don’t have to rinse off.
Any suggestions for a fun in-tub kids bath mat?
Ikea used to have a super cute crocodile shaped one that my kids loved but they don’t have it any more.
So the husband and I are having problems that I think are pretty clearly based in our childhoods — he’s overly critical and I’m overly sensitive to criticism. This seems to stem clearly from our abusive parents — our opposite-sex parents both had explosive tempers that dominated family interactions, and his mother now constantly nitpicks and makes passive-aggressive digs because she currently gets away with them in a way she wouldn’t with screaming/crying tantrums. (My father is dead).
But logically understanding the root of the problems has not made the problems magically go away. So what should we look for in a therapist? (Before you say Gottman, there are none in our area). Do we need a trauma-informed therapist for this?
Rant alert: Last December, my son spiked a 106 temp at 2:00am. I rushed him to the emergency room. I have been fighting ever since to get our insurance to cover the $800 bill! First they submitted it with him as the primary. His DOB is in 2014. Do you THINK he’s the primary? So it was denied. Then they said he wasn’t covered. We did switch the kids to my husband’s insurance for 2017 because it was the better deal, but according to my HR, the insurer instead dropped BOTH my kids from my policy for 2016, which led to other claims for dr appts etc. being messed up. Today they told me it was denied because it…wait for it… was submitted too late. Oh wait, you mean because YOU dropped my kid and my employer and I had to spend months getting him reinstated, now you’re telling me my claim is late? Seriously. They’re submitting it for processing again. Not betting any money this will be resolved before 2018.
I have this. I use it 1x/week, on Sunday nights, cause that’s when I seem to be less rushed. It makes my skin really smooth. I use Paula’s Choice 2% BHA and retinol (from The Ordinary) other nights and I think this mask has helped even further with exfoliation. When I run out I will be trying the version from The Ordinary tho bc it’s much cheaper.
Random question – my husband and are both huge readers. We both read almost exclusively on our phones via the Kindle app. It’s awesome to have your book with you all the time. I seriously read while waiting for the elevator, between sets at the gym, etc. But I hate that the kids can’t tell the difference between mommy and daddy reading vs mommy and daddy looking at Facebook, etc. I want them to love reading too! What to do?
Winter gear questions: What boots/shoes do you buy your toddler to get through the winter (in New England, where it snows, rains, and is generally cold)? This is the first winter my daughter will really be running around outside. Right now she has a pair of sneakers that seem like they won’t hold up to much moisture/cold. Am I really supposed to buy snow boots, rain boots, and some type of regular shoe that is more insulated? What do you all do to keep your kid’s feet warm and dry without spending hundreds of dollars?! I’m also open to hat/mitten recommendations if anyone has them! Thanks so much!
My tall, skinny 2.5 year old girl needs a winter coat. Does anyone have any die-hard favorites for this age before I just dive blindly into the LL Bean catalogue?
If I’m feeling like I’m coming down with a cold, but don’t actually have symptoms yet — I should not go visit my brand-new baby nephew, right? I know what the answer is, but dang, I really wanted to see my sister and meet the baby!
The Patagonia Nanopuff is great here in the mid Atlantic. It may not be warm enough for New England, but we love them. It wears great and fits safely under car seat straps. It’s plenty warm enough in 40 degree afternoons on the playground.
I just found out yesterday that my SIL is pregnant and due in May. DH and I are very excited for her, and I’d like to buy something around $20-30 for the “baby” for Christmas. This will be in addition to getting a more expensive shower gift in the spring. Does anyone have any suggestions? It’s a girl if that matters. (This should be for the baby, not the mom, because the adult siblings have decided not to exchange gifts and just give to the kids.)
