    Drooling over the lemon poppy challah, but the link is swapped with the Olaplex kit.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the article about young people obsessed with the 80s. It dovetails with my hope/dream for my kids’ generation upcoming…I’ve always said, we 90s kids had *so* much fun and freedom. All this tracking, photo taking, social media, gps, etc., leaves them all vulnerable to getting caught, getting in trouble, etc. My sister used to literally track my niece through her friends’ social media accounts alone. I like to think the younger generation—who are proving to be smarter than we give them credit for —are going to soon realize, “hey, if we give up this phone/social media we can be free and happy and go and do without being watched.” Not to mention the emotional turmoil social media inflicts on them…

    Anyway, thank you for coming to my delusional, rose colored glasses TED talk!

    Oh my goodness, I am just using this as an anonymous place to shallowly say “I knew it!” I have been following that bank from a distance for years, and was even recruited for a position with them a few years ago. The only reason I paid attention is because everything just struck me as super shady. Just hit my gut, never added up, never made sense. I knew something(s) was up!

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

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 […]
