    I loved the small talk piece.

    I have the Lodis Audrey card case and a matching slim wallet. The leather is very nice, and I liked having a lot of color choices.

    I have tried the Clinique Matte lip powder. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I quite like it. I have the Blossom colour and wear it over lip balm so it is not too drying. The colour is very long lasting and you are able to vary the intensity with the application. I do not like a strong matte look as I find it to be aging but the lip balm takes the edge off in just the right amount for me.

    I know you mentioned financial topics in a previous post – I just finished “Get a Financial Life” by Beth Kobliner, and I could not recommend it more highly (it’s been in print since ’96). She’s actually speaking tomorrow at sixth&i.

    Just a heads up that my kids each had the 02 Cooler bottle and they are so hard to get/keep clean! I ended up having to throw them away after noticing mold forming in an unreachable crevice.

  5. Michaela says:

    The Dear John letter is SO good. Thanks for the laughs.

  6. Loving the Dear John letter. Thanks so much for linking!

    Belle! There’s a family owned shop on etsy that sells handmade versions of these. I have them in 3 colors & have worn them regularly for 3 yrs.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

They’re a great piece that you can throw on any time you need to look pulled together. Here are a few choices.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
