The Edition: No. 71

There is nothing more exhausting than the task you never started.Happier in Hollywood podcast work mantra*

*We’ll talk more about work mantras on Wednesday.  I just wanted to leave this right here, because the tasks I never started are definitely a source of anxiety as the week goes on.  Maybe I can remind myself of that as the week goes on.

Assured. Need help making decisions?  Try the 20-minute rule.

Festive. Need V-Day attire?  Try these embroidered smoking slippers.

Plumped. Do collagen supplements actually do anything for your skin?

Feminine. This vine-printed blouse and pink blazer for work, so gorgeous.

Targeted. How to identify if you’re a victim of gaslighting at work.

Saved. Bloomingdale’s is having a huge sale. This BOSS dress and this Frame blouse are in my cart. Looking for something under-$100? This sweater is fabulous.

Lapsed. What you need to know about makeup expiration dates.

Striped. Love this fuchsia puff-sleeve top and ruffled collar blouse from C/Meo.

Office art — it’s so hard to find affordable wall decor.  The Etsy store The Peoples Prints has great art for your office or for your home.  The pink and navy pieces above are nice.  I also like the moodiness of this dark navy and metallic painting.

    Thank you for the top quote! I’m sitting here staring at a blank page and trying to start writing my dissertation – every little reminder that starting will make it better is helpful. Best of luck to you on your un-started tasks!

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
