When The Teeth Come Out

Both of us had a rough night. 

On Christmas morning, I posted a picture of Goldie wearing one of those amber teething necklaces, and a couple of readers and I started chatting on Instagram about whether they "work." I ordered one as a Christmas present for her not really understanding what it was supposed to do (I actually thought the babies were supposed to chew on it, like they chew on that teething jewelry sold for mothers to wear), but upon Googling realized that their purpose is to emit some kind of acid that acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and pain reliever.

Hmmm.

Let’s Talk 2015

Something new I'm trying out this year: a quick survey that'll help me learn what you liked (and didn't like) over the past year, and what you'd like to see more (and less) of in 2015. Click here to check it out (you can answer the questions anonymously if you want - and remember to submit a reader question if you have one!).

Thank you so much! Excited to hear what you have to say.

Happy Friday!

Links & Love & Stuff

 I legit cannot stop crafting. I am also aware that RG is not a crafting blog exactly, but I can't help it: must share. So many ridiculous handmade whatsits coming up. So many!

 The look on Angelina Jolie's face when she ran into one of the Sony execs who slammed her in those leaked emails is EVERYTHING.

 You have to hear how much Pharrell made for downloads of "Happy." It's depressing, mostly because it makes you think about what musicians who are not Pharrell make. ...Can somebody fix this, please?

How To Put An End To Co-Sleeping?

My son did not sleep for eleven months. Like, at all. It was as exhausting as it sounds. And the fact that he did not sleep made it easier for me to follow the advice of the zillions of people who told me to put him in his own crib as soon as possible so he could learn how to "self-soothe" (a.k.a. cry endlessly, forever and ever and ever), mostly because not-sleeping next to me and not-sleeping over there in the crib that was ten feet away from our bed (because we lived in a one-bedroom apartment at the time) was six of one, half a dozen of the other.

And what it all added up to was that none of us slept. Ever. For the better part of a year.

The Masquerade Makeup

Vivo Masks Occhialino Mask

Speaking of holiday beauty, here's the look I whipped up for Kendrick's Winter Formal, which I think works for any holiday party (minus, perhaps, the mask…although that one's your call). I went heavier than I usually do, with bold eyes and bold lips, because I feel like the holiday season lets you get away with a more dramatic face. Add that to the fact that the formal was actually a masquerade (more shots coming up!), and there you go:

I wore ALL OF THE MAKEUP.
