Two containers of Wonderskin Wonder Blading Lip Stain with the lids off, plus a swatch of a reddish shade behind it

Look past the initial Avatar-blue masque and hear me out — this was a top rec from a friend of mine who is a Biglaw partner with a toddler. She doesn’t have time for products that don’t work.

This lip stain from Wonderskin lasts for hours without fading, while keeping lips soft. Apply the blue lip masque, spray the activator on your lips, and then slowly peel the masque to reveal color underneath. (It’s easier to follow if you watch the step-by-step video). Add some gloss on top for shine.

As someone who hasn’t found a lip stain or lipstick I love, I cannot wait to give this a try!

The Wonder Blading Peel & Reveal Lip Stain Kit is $29 and comes in range of fresh tints and bold colors.

Background check services for a nanny? Also payroll service? I’ve been recommended poppin payroll but wondering if there’s anything else people like.

Just a vent… I’m on day 8 of Covid and although I have been basically asymptomatic since Thursday, my home tests are still flaming positive, darker than they’ve ever been. I obviously don’t want to make anyone sick but I’m so miserable in isolation and miss my family so much. It’s my daughter’s last week of preschool and I’m missing all the fun end-of-year events. It took my husband 13 days to test negative when he had an extremely mild case last year so I’m not optimistic about going anywhere before the weekend at the earliest and I’m just SO DONE.

Can anyone recommend a Sun hat that your baby would tolerate wearing?

Moms with older kids — I’m curious about how involved you are with hair care. I feel like my 8 yo DD still needs more help from me, but she balks at the idea. She does a decent job shampooing her hair on her own. She says she uses conditioner, but there are times when I can tell she’s either not leaving it on long enough or using enough, period. I also think she must have some summer buildup from chlorine, sun, and sunscreen getting smeared in because it’s very unmanageable right now. Hair type is fine but a lot of it; straight; mid-back length. She had a trim recently.

So, two questions:
1) Any tips on de-funkifying summer hair; and
2) How much do I push on being more involved with hair care, beyond helping her style it in the morning? I will confess that I don’t have a great love of long hair, but she is adamant that this is what she wants and I want to teach her how to properly care for it.

Token present ideas for a 5 year old boy that has everything?

Could you recommend a laundry service or tell me how to find this? Looking at the app Hampr. I just want wash and fold: not dry cleaning. Family of 5 and we live in Houston, if it matters. Thanks!

I’ve posted about this before, so re-posting for empathy, and this time, any advice.

Our 2.5 year old is SPICY. There are tantrums, screaming, throwing, etc. One of his favorite things to do is take off my glasses and hair clip…and laugh. One of the tougher things is 2.5 year old is on the lower end of normal for speech so expressive communication is more difficult for him (he’s progressing in ST). We try a lot of the tactics that worked with our much more verbal, rule-following older child, when he exhibited some of this at age 3, and they just don’t work on DS #2.

One of his teachers comments from time to time that he sometimes is a handful, and he’s super close with his other teacher – this is never to the point we get calls from school or anything. On the other hand, he’s also a favorite of the staff and teachers, too because he’s…well, charming and sweet, bats his eyelashes, etc. (for a 2.5 year old). He’s literally the type of kid you’re frustrated at one minute, and then he’s doing something to make you laugh the next.

I feel like most of this is developmentally normal (please tell me otherwise), but would love to hear some tactics that help kept you sane. DH has his own childhood trauma about how this behavior was dealt with when he was growing up, and we just want to have a good toolkit and don’t want to be drained when we’re home together as a family. We’ve also e-mailed his school for ideas that we can implement at home.

Outings generally and outside time really help – the former is tough outside of pool time right now because it’s incredibly hot where we live – so I’ll take any ideas on this as well.

Hi ladies! My daughter this morning was sad because, “The summer is supposed to feel like one long weekend, but it feels like we have to get up for school every day!” My kids are in summer camp from 8-5 because I work FT, duh. I lightly pointed out that summer camp is fun, and she has no tests or homework, so that’s a difference from school, but I’d be interested if you all have any ideas for making summer feel more “summery” when your kids are in full-day camps. Thank you!
