One I would *not* recommend is the Bliss tinted sunscreen (really lovely matte formula, but a too-floral smell and tint is too dark for fair folk).

Grew up with a dishwasher, no dishwasher in my first solo home for 10 years, and now back to a dishwasher for the past 10 years or so. Both are doable, but I do prefer a dishwasher! I break fewer dishes, for one.

I appreciate this effort. Though ... I think parents who are OK with kids using harmful actives would just buy them for their children. Still, at least then, an adult decides.

I can see why Glow Recipe is particularly appealing to kids—the same way the fruity flavors of Lip Smackers were to me at 12. Agreed that a basic skin-care routine is the key thing: cleanse, moisturize, SUNSCREEN! I'm jealous teens today have Adapalene available over the counter for acne.

Yes, I've heard about the Sephora kids before. But sending this stuff to summer camp? Little girls begging to do their elaborate skin-care routines? Sheesh.

Parents are buying their 10-year-olds Glow Recipe serums and Drunk Elephant cleansers!?

(If you're not a skin-care enthusiast, just know those are fairly expensive brands.)

I do. not. get. it.

Do you know any ten-year-olds? Go look at them. They were born before gay Americans could have their marriages federally recognized. Today is the 9th anniversary of Obergefell. It is that new, it is that fragile, and if the Democrats lose power, it could go away in a blink. Please vote accordingly.

Debate week thoughts: Either the media doesn't understand independent voters, or I'm an unusual independent voter. I'm not swinging back and forth. I'm a liberal and reliably voting for one party, but I don't want to "join" it. That wouldn't make sense in a swing state, but where I live, it does.

What's most creepy about this (and every other article like it) is it assumes AI will undoubtedly take over creative functions, and that we just have to make accommodations with it. It's like "this dog will be your new husband, there'll be a period of adjustment."

This report was so interesting—what's better for the climate, paper books or ebooks?

Ebooks seem like the no-brainer answer, but how many ebooks do you need to read to offset the environmental waste of the device? Are certain fonts more "green" on the printed page?

New EFA rates chart just dropped 👀

You can use this to estimate the cost of hiring a professional editor to edit your project, and freelance editors can use it to see how their rates compare to other editors' rates. (Maybe it's time for you to raise your rates! 😉)
