The insecurities, incentives, and impulses all parents must navigate as they engage with platforms have the ability to make otherwise mature adults act like teenagers. Writer and influencer Jordan Reid, also known as @ramshackleglam, laughed when I asked her about this, as if it were so self-evident it hardly bore discussing. “I mean, I’m 38 years old and I put sparkle filter on my face,” she says.

Sure do. Not super proud of it, but I sure do.

Anyone else extremely grateful for eye cream and cocktails rn? 

Just ordered a pair of these waterproof, lightweight Birkenstocks for gardening purposes, and am PUMPED.

Ideas for book-involving crafts (handmade bookmarks, painting on pages, etc) that are actually really cute. (Bookish Crafts to Do in Quarantine, via Book Riot.)

In this episode of A Little Too Much, host Jamie Stone and I discuss that time I was almost cast alongside Ron Jeremy (oh yes), co-parenting during quarantine, and our favorite Internet trolling experiences.

The Big Activity Book for Digital Detox is out TODAY! 

Like so many of us these days, I am in the midst of a love affair with my phone. It’s gone from being a source of guilt—thank you, screen time app, for letting me know that I spend hours every day staring at Instagram accounts starring overweight cats and various Jenners—to my lifeline to the world.

But just because technology is proving itself to be an uplifting—even vital—way for us to get through the current moment doesn’t mean that being dialed in 100% of the time doesn’t have a con or fifty. To put it in context, a hundred years ago our brains were just starting to handle the idea that we could move at a speed faster than “horse.” Fast forward to now, and we’re holding virtually unlimited information in the palms of our wildly unqualified little hands, printing 3-D body parts, and diving into the ocean from our living rooms. 

Register for the event here! 

This Thursday at 6:30PM PST, I'll be live on Crowdcast for a chat hosted by Diesel Bookstore and hosted by the charming, hilarious OG beauty blogger Jamie Stone (she and I go wayyyyy back to 2009, when we were both running around to various events reviewing lip glosses and such). The topic: My new book cowritten with Erin Williams, The Big Activity Book for Digital Detox,...which comes out TOMORROW (eeee!).

Remember how I wrote about Malibu's million-dollar mobile homes? Every time a new property comes on the market I'm tempted to show it to you because they're all just so cool - but this is one you have to see.

When I first heard about Paradise Cove and Point Dume Club – two of several trailer parks tucked up against Malibu’s beaches – I was a little perplexed about the whole concept. People pay millions of dollars…for trailers? And I get that they’re in Malibu, but…still? And then my friend, Ren Smith – who’s the primary real estate agent for the parks – showed me around and explained the whole deal. I've always been a major real estate nerd, and I found the concept of these mobile homes so fascinating that I started doing marketing for a bunch of Paradise Cove and PDC properties - which has been doubly nice because a) we can all use a little escapist fantasy at the moment, and b) it allows me to indulge my desire to stare at houses all day while also being...you know, productive.
