Remember that “investment” hair dryer I wrote about? Well, it’s 50% off on Cyber Monday. This is one of the best deals I’ve seen. A worthy investment.
Bare Escentuals is offering 40% off site wide, with limited supply. Another great deal. You know how I love my Bare Minerals foundation and concealer.
Tata Harper is offering a free travel size mini for every full-size item purchased, plus free shipping. I love this cleanser.
Sephora has tons of really good $10 deals.
Bliss is offering 20% off all weekend, with a bonus gift bag when you spend more than $150. I love their body products and gift sets for the holidays. On Cyber Monday, save 40 percent on Bliss best-selling formulas like FatGirlSlim Firming Cream, Lemon + Sage Body Butter and High Intensity Hand Cream.
DryBar is offering 20% off all products and tools in-store. Love this brush.
Yesto is offering 40% off site-wide today and 35% off over the weekend. I can’t live without their wipes.
Rita Hazan is offering 25% off all products. Her root cover spray is unrivaled. I also love her color glosses to keep color fresh.
Happy shopping!
Deep (Mom) Thoughts: On Kim Kardashian’s (oddly greasy) internet-breaking ass from one of my favorite bloggers, Kelcey Kintner of TheMamaBirdDiaries. And while you’re at it, read her latest funny, poignant post on being a parent that pretty much made my week.
Stunning: Katie Holmes basically looking perfect in NYC this week.
Viral: One Mom begs kids to “Knock it Off” with a little help from Taylor Swift.
Celebrity: All around gorgeousness at the Governors Awards.
Funny Lady: SNL alum (and one of my favorite celebrity moms) Ana Gasteyer waxes humorously thoughtful on beauty. And I love her picks.
Screen Time: Why Steve Jobs didn’t let his kids use the iPad.
Insta2yearold: Too funny. MommyShorts causes yet another online sensation with her hilarious glimpse into the world from her toddler’s point of view on Instagram.
The rebellious toy maker recently launched a new action figure for girls with this new video to introduce it. I think the Orwellian riff on a “Big Sister” is pretty genius. And the tagline? “Other toys are built for fashion. Goldie is built for action.”
My seven year old daughter loves all the GoldieBlox toys and I’m so happy to see the pink toy aisle continued to get challenged. I think Barbie and Else and Anna are going to have some competition from this mighty little doll this holiday season.
I love when a beauty brand uses it’s influence and reach to celebrate women. This campaign by Morocconoil is a mesmerizing video series that puts a spotlight on five women—all with different beauty and agendas; all living inspired lives while changing lives in the process. The short videos are directed by Bryce Dallas Howard, and include Morocconoil ambassador Rosie Huntington Whiteley.
Take a few minutes to meet these amazing women and be inspired. xo
So when I had my first daughter, I was hyper-vigilant about shielding her precious eyes from any sort of “screen” until she was two years old. Past two, even. There was all that research. Warnings. Foreboding messages about TV’s affect on a child’s attention span and how it could (gasp!) thwart a precious, budding imagination.
Fast forward to child #2: at 20 months I find myself chasing her around the house with Elmo on the iPad, begging her to sit still and watch the furry little red guy so I can keep her away from a hot stove (or out of my makeup kit) for five minutes. No dice. Until I found this clip of Claire Daines with Cookie Monster. Maybe all those nights nursing her while watching Homeland made some sort of imprint. (Eek!) Or maybe she’s just mesmerized by her very excellent hair.
Enjoy and have a great weekend!
Jennifer Garner is one of my favorite BeautyMamas, not least because she is so funny. I love her impression of Ben Affleck here. Doesn’t she seems like such a cool, regular and relatable mom? Except maybe for her movie star hair—which I’m dying a little bit over.
