Looking for wisdom around a new parent phenomenon: I hate experiencing my daughter’s sweet moments and developmental milestones behind my iPhone camera, but I’m so afraid of forgetting any little detail of her. She’s changing so fast, and I feel almost greedy to capture her as she is today; of course, that effort makes me less fully present. I know this isn’t a new phenomenon or one unique to parenthood, but I’m feeling it especially acutely here. Anyone have helpful input?

I never learned how to properly blow dry my hair, and I feel that it’s time. My hair is somewhere on the 2b-2c-3a spectrum and is currently upper-chest length with long layers. Any tools, products, or techniques to recommend? I’m interested in achieving a smoother blown out look as opposed to diffusing it for curls.

Survivor fans, I need you! Someone I love is going through a very sad breakup. Since she loves Survivor and is not really a “fuzzy socks and face mask” type of person, I thought I’d send a Survivor-themed care package. I’m planning to make an immunity idol, include some of her favorite trail snacks like beef jerky, and hoping to find some comfy and quirky items at Goodwill. Any alternative or additional ideas that I could/should include? Looking to crowdsource the creativity I’m lacking today. Thank you 💚

Can anyone recommend a solid blender for making smoothies? Specifically, I’m looking for something that handles frozen fruit and Greek yogurt well. Currently using a Ninja pitcher blender I found on Buy Nothing, and it leaks and is so loud I legitimately fear it’s damaging my hearing with every use.
