I cannot get enough liquid blush — it’s the easiest way to add a little polish to your look when you’re short on time.
Hourglass’s Unreal Liquid Blush has glowing reviews and it’s easy to see why. Its serum-like formula hydrates and firms while providing up to 12 hours of natural, buildable color. Hyaluronic acid plumps and hydrates while white lupin seed extract smooths and firms.
Now my toughest decision is which of the seven flattering shades to try first!
This liquid blush is $36 at Sephora.

Reporting back from our weekend backyard party. About 35 adults and 15 kids, 3pm-7pm. We had two bounce houses (our own little-ish one plus a huge one we rented). We also rented extra tables and chairs, which I would do again — it was super cheap. It was so, so fun. Super low stress (thanks, Costco!) and I actually got to have lots of long adult conversations because the kids were so happy with the bounce house and other outdoor games. The weather was perfect. Thanks to everyone for all the hosting advice — it was a huge help. If you, like me, have been thinking of hosting a party but are overwhelmed — just do it! It doesn’t have to be perfect for everyone to have an amazing time.
My 3.5 screams bloody murder when playing outside/running, playing INSIDE (e.g. they are building something and it falls, rough housing with their brother), anytime they are asked to do something they don’t like (in this scenario it’s often a mix of screaming/crying/nasal whining).
Last week, I asked kid to go to the bathroom, and he ran there…while screaming.
We’ve talked about inside voices, we’ve read a book 9273298372 times about this, kid will even say “no screaming!” and I am at my wit’s end.
Any tips to help? Or do I keep reminding and hope he ages out of it?
We’re hosting a birthday party for about ten preschoolers from 10:30-12:30, so we want to provide heavy snacks that could be a lunch substitute. We know one kid is kosher, two have dairy allergies, and one has an egg allergy. What do we serve besides raw fruits and veggies? The kids will be running around the backyard, so I hesitate to offer hot dogs, which are easy but a choking hazard. Also, should we plan to feed the adults enough for a lunch? I assume about ten adults total.
Is it just me or does it look like the main page has been hacked? It navigates to an Rx purchasing site.
To the OP last week saying her toddler son wasn’t enjoying his new daycare, my daughter is also not adjusting well. We’re starting week 2 and there’s lots of crying at drop off and she cries a little on and off throughout the day. My husband feels one of the class assistants is starting to get annoyed with her and he is questioning our decision. I feel like we need to push through this and give it time. I wish it was easier to know what the right decision for our daughter is. Anyways, just some commiseration from this tired mom.
We got a written update from kiddo’s speech therapist and she had “Expressive Language Disorder” as the diagnosis. This whole time I was presuming kiddo had a speech delay. I googled this disorder and kiddo’s symptoms/speaking match with the description. What surprised me is that the therapist hasn’t really made it seem as severe as what I read online, hasn’t mentioned it as a learning disability, etc. I’m going to speak with her of course to get more details.
Kiddo’s done SO well working in speech therapy, so I’m proud of their progress, and happy to keep them in therapy (and whatever else) as long as they need, but also concerned if this a lifelong challenge.
Anyone have any experience with this? Looking for some hope.
