There are lots of childhood memories that I have a...let's call it a "new perspective" on, now that I'm a parent.
Oh my god, mom. I'm so sorry.
Sorry, Mom

Genius Discovery: Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream
OK, we need to have a conversation about this stuff, because it is AMAZING.
You know when your lips get so chapped that the chapped-ness extends, like, onto your face? And it's both painful and not-especially-cute? I've had that for the past couple of weeks, for whatever reason (changing seasons? not drinking enough water? who knows). I've tried every single lip balm in my artillery (which is a LOT of lip balms), and nothing made the slightest bit of difference; the area seemed completely impenetrable to moisture.
And then I came across a tiny tube of this stuff in my drawer - I have no idea where it came from, or why it's there - and thought, what the hell. It's not lip balm, but the word "moisturizing" is in there, so.
Fringe Effect
My closet is whittling down day by day, as more and more boxes fill up; my goal is to just have a single suitcase's worth of stuff by the time we leave, and that's the stuff that I'll be wearing for the following three or four weeks (sigh; but hey, did it before, can do it again).
The fact that I have still not packed what are possibly two of the most impractical things that I own - a pair of thigh-high, super-high-heeled black suede boots and a jacket so fringey that it's practically a Cher costume - is pretty indicative of my priorities. Three whole weeks without thigh-high boots and fringe leather jackets are three sad weeks, indeed.
How To Hide Your Growing-Out Bangs
I have this little problem, where every time I go through a major life change (such as, for example, baby-having), I cut off all my hair. Sometimes this is good, and sometimes this results in me doing something that makes life a little more difficult.
You know what makes life a little more difficult?
Bangs. Especially when the sky simply refuses to stop raining (stop, sky).
The Most Ridiculous (And Also Best) Purchase Ever
This is one of the most ridiculous – and also best – purchases I have ever made.
You've seen my favorite sunglasses (which I also own in white; like I said: ridiculous) before. Like, over and over. And then maybe you stopped seeing them these past few weeks, because somewhere in the middle of all this packing madness I lost them. Both of them.
I was extremely unhappy about this. Because they were unconscionably expensive (both of them), but also because I wear them every. single. day. I do not like existing in the outside world, where sunlight is direct and eyes are tired, without them. And even given those unconscionable prices, I was kind of like...Jeez. I guess I'm going to have to buy another pair. (Maybe not two, though, because I'm not crazy, and maybe used via eBay this time around.)
