I always think of myself as looking for plums or a slightly taupe sort of lipcolor, and I hunted for a long time for an everyday red, eventually giving up the search. So I was really surprised when I picked up this Clinique Chubby Stick and loved the red called broadest berry. I recommend the Chubby Sticks because they’re moisturizing and easy to apply — I even scrape them out when I get to the end so I can put the last parts in a little container and keep using it. They’re $17.50 each at Nordstrom, and right now there’s a GWP: deluxe samples of Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate (0.24 oz.), Fresh Pressed Renewing Powder Cleanser (0.01 oz.), a mini Lip Pop Color & Primer in Love Pop, and Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm (0.1 oz.) (with a $35 Clinique purchase). Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Color Balm

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?
This is one of the reasons we only have one child. I was willing to risk multiples the first time around, but not the second.
Anyone use Clomid, get multiples, and use it again? I’m weighing whether not having any more would be worse than a second set of twins or (gasp) triplets. I’ll be 35 when we try again.
