Kat’s recent article about how she deals with undereye circles inspired me to upgrade my concealer. Here’s a promising one from Fenty Beauty.
This liquid concealer lasts up to 12 hours and comes in 50 (!) shades for a seamless finish. Prickly pear cactus extract and sodium hyaluronate moisturizes, while Persian silk tree extract addresses signs of fatigue. The long-wearing formula is transfer- and waterproof, resisting humidity, creasing, and fading.
We’re Even Hydrating Longwear Waterproof Concealer is $30 at Sephora.

What are the best websites to buy used kid (boy) clothes in bundles? FB Marketplace is easy for baby stuff but I am looking for 5T bundles and they are so hard to find.
What age did you start doing drop off play dates and what are your parameters for them? My daughter is now almost 6.5 years old but only in K (just after the cut off bday). She was invited to a play date and the mom offered to have me stay or drop off in advance. I said I’d stay this time for my kid’s comfort and then future play dates she’d probably be more open to staying solo. The truth is it was more for my own comfort. I’ve only known the mom since September. We’ve interacted at birthday parties and school events a handful of times and our girls play together daily. There are no red flags and their house is less than a mile away. Still, leaving her with people I don’t know well is new to me but I know it will be more commonplace as she gets older.
I talked to my daughter about prepping for this. She is pretty shy and while I know she’d have fun I want her to be able to effectively communicate her needs to the other parent, especially if she was feeling uncomfortable and wants to come home.
Any tips or general thoughts?
Repost from main page… I need help needed finding place to pump in NYC! I go into the city for client meetings in restaurants, coffee shops, etc. So far I’ve only had short days so I can stretch time between pumps and use the Mamava pod at Penn Station on my way in/out of the city. Where can I pump between 3-4:30 pm between meetings in midtown East? I feel like even bathrooms are in such short supply. Any suggestions welcome.
Maybe that stat is for all kids with an autism diagnoses (so ASD-1, ASD-2, ASD-3), so not a representative slice of kids with an autism diagnosis who were caught late b/c they are able to function in typical environments? Like in my SEUS state, a LOT of kids drown because they wander into the ocean, lakes, water impoundments, and swimming pools. Most aren’t autistic, but “wandering” can be a trait some kids have and if they can’t swim, it often ends tragically where there is plenty of water and pools. So maybe it’s definitely not apples-to-apples. Underemployment is likely a legitimate thing to be afraid of and to work now on soft skills. 5
Do you have your kids do thank you notes for class birthday parties? In several years of attending large parties, we’ve only ever received one thank you note and it was a form letter with nothing personal (“thank you for the wonderful gift. I enjoyed it.”) so I felt like it was almost worse than nothing. But at the same time I was raised that a thank you note is expected and I want to teach my kid gratitude and appreciation.
Fwiw, we didn’t open presents at the party, which is normal in our area. If we did, I would not even think about thank you notes since even Miss Manners say they’re not required if you open the gift in front of the gift giver.
Does anyone here have a child diagnosed with autism, but much older than usual? This is probably partially because of COVID and partially because she is smart girl who has been doing OK in regular school (but has been bullied for her social awkwardness) and hit all of her milestones. Now that we are in middle school, it is clear that she is having ongoing social challenges, but she is doing OK academically, and no one is sure what she needs (other than: something). Our local autism society deals with kids who have very different issues (which are likely obvious enough that kids get diagnosed very early on — we don’t have issues with haircuts or toileting or feeding or being nonverbal or being in a self-contained classroom). Like I read a stat that 80% of autistic adults are unemployed and many die young (30s?) and I don’t want that for my daughter but no one knows how to help.
Navigating a tricky parenting thing that I’m almost certainly overthinking / overreacting to, please be kind.
My glitter / princess loving 3.5 year old has been insisting for about a month that she’s a “big boy” and that she’s a big strong boy like her older brother. I don’t want to overreact of underreact – after all, she’s also said recently she is going to grow up to be a unicorn. She’s not demanded any change to clothing, still loves to try on my make-up, etc.
I want to be supportive is this something bigger than a phase. But I don’t want to jump right into asking her if she wants to wear different clothing, etc. since she’s not asking for any of those changes. What’s the right balance of support / curiosity / ignoring is appropriate here?
The postpartum hair loss has begun :( I only stopped BFing 3 weeks ago. Didn’t expect it to start so soon. This too shall pass…..
Cross-post. Can anyone recommend a good OB practice in the Walnut Creek/Concord/Lafayette area? In addition to high-quality care (a given), I’m looking for a practice that has good phone access (no long phone trees/excessive wait times to speak to someone), reasonable wait times for appointments and appointments start close to on time, on-site ultrasound, and either direct experience with high-risk pregnancies or very good referral systems for dealing with them. I would prefer a female provider but would consider seeing a male. Any ideas?
Also, I previously was going with UCSF’s prenatal care at Mission Bay, but I’m on the fence about my experience. I welcome any comparisons from locals.
Hopefully a fun request: my daughter has recently gotten really into books and we’re looking to expand our collection. What were your favorite books for ages 18 months plus? Current favourites include The Paper Bag Princess, The Going to Bed Book, and a pretty picture book about farm animals.
