1. This week, sharing my favorite current lip product:

I have a terrible habit of lip biting. Especially when stressed or busy or whatever, I often find myself doing this – and as a result my lips have been so dry lately, so I decided to treat myself to this lip mask! I actually use it in the mornings as well as in the evenings – it’s a lovely smell and slightly slightly tinted. One warning is that if you are a side sleeper as I am, it can get onto your hair and pillow – I pull my hair back when I sleep so it isn’t an issue, but wanted to call this out.

2. A fun little interview, via Variety, with Kathy Hilton (of recent RHOBH “friend of”) fame. Are you watching Housewives this season? I think Beverly Hills has its mojo back! New York I’m mixed on.

3. I really liked this piece, via the NY Times, about how the old model of the “imperial fashion editor” may be going away.

4. A piece, via Curbed, about the crazy real estate market in Austin right now. I love hearing about other real estate markets! Maybe because it makes me feel better about our crazy local one.

5. This week I read Far From The Tree, by Andrew Solomon.

I really enjoyed this one. It’s a long non-fiction work, with each chapter focusing on a specific set of parents and children with a particular identity: deafness, autism, etc. I learned so much from reading this and it truly expanded my understanding of the world. If you want to learn more about the world, about other parents, children, and simply identity, I highly recommend Far From the Tree.
