    Can you speak to the sizing of those plastic birk knock offs? Love those for the pool!

    • Laurel says:

      I bought them last summer and found them to be a bit small as did a friend of mine. We wear size 10 and 11 respectively, at the time half-sizes weren’t an option, but I would have sized up to 10.5 if I did it again.

    • Belle says:

      I’m between sizes, I sized up.

  2. Kleigh says:

    That mascara didn’t stand up to humidity for me. Hourglass and L’Oréal double extend are two tubing mascaras that do, though.

  3. Gemini says:

    What’s the point in the police aren’t obligated to protect you link?

    • Belle says:

      It’s a question I had, that I think other people might have, and I thought it was a good explainer of police’s legal duties for people who both agree and those who don’t.

  4. Nan says:

    I always enjoy reading your headline quote. However, today’s quote made me remember a saying a friend of mine lived by. She would say it often and it always brought a smile.

    The only pain in life should be Champagne!

    Enjoy and happy Friday!

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.

Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.

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 […]
