Presents For Dads
I would call this a "Father's Day Gift Guide," except Father's Day is in like two seconds and I totally failed to get it up in a respectable window of time.
So let's just call it a fun list of presents for dad-type people, K? Like for birthdays! And...birthdays!
...Hanukkahs?

Currently wearing daily: my mom's vintage 1980s gold earrings (these are similar but expensive, and these are similar and super-cheap) and Cristina V's Balinese-inspired wood and gold beaded necklace, which can be doubled over, as shown, or worn super long.
I am already stressed out about how much TV my children are going to watch this summer, because Mom has to work and camp is only for three weeks and such is life. Which is to say: although these rules are actually quite excellent, there is no way I will be able to enforce them, and I already feel guilty about it.

Finally read Lena Dunham's article on why she decided to have a hysterectomy at 31, and it is moving and important. We need to have more honest, open conversations like this about fertility and reproduction and the many, many roads women take when it comes to choosing whether or not (or how) to explore the idea of motherhood.

Kendrick’s Father’s Day Gift Picks from eBay’s New Akron, Ohio Shop
(by Kendrick.)
I had nothing to do with the new eBay shop featuring small Akron, Ohio-based business. I promise! I know I work for eBay, but I had literally nothing to do with this. I just thought it was awesome, and thought Ramshackle Glam people might think so, too.
So. I look on eBay one day, because I work there, and because I have a bad habit of buying things on eBay (thereby gradually refunding my employer for my salary), and I see something about my hometown (technically I'm from North Canton, but nobody knows where that is, so I just say "near Akron"). And seeing something online about my hometown is weird, because people don't usually talk about Akron all that much.
I Took Metamucil For Two Weeks, And This Is What Happened
That is not for you, cat.
Here’s what I always like about doing something proactive for my body: it has ripple effects beyond the thing itself.
Basically: once I stop treating my body like a trash dump in even the smallest of ways, I start realizing how good it feels, and end up doing other things that make my body feel good, too. Like, say, waking up before my kids to do 15 minutes of yoga (really, and I KNOW), or stretching while watching TV at night instead of vegetating on the couch with a jar of pickles. Drinking more water. Paying attention to my posture while sitting at the computer (I am at this very moment activating my core, and yes, I am impressed with myself, too).
