We’re expecting our first child - a boy, due August 31st - and so far picking a name has been the most difficult decision yet….also, arguably, one of the few we actually have to make before the baby arrives (eep!). So far none of the names on our short list have really stood out as totally “right” and we are definitely starting to feel the clock ticking!

I know I’m in love with a product when I start to unnecessarily buy volumes of said product, just in case it will be discontinued. It’s irrational and stupid, but hey, it’s a marker for me….so there’s that. And this summer I’ve been f-cking obsessed with Bite Beauty’s Multistick... Full Article

My co-worker/friend is having a baby (due late August), and recently moaned that coming up with names was "so hard." To which I replied, "OMG that's the most fun part of having a baby!
