Could you create a post about what to do when you have children and are getting divorced? I am wondering if I have missed anything. My child wants to change her name, I have brought books for her, created a new routine, and suppressed an ocean of rage towards my ex.
I'm so sorry you're going through all this, malaika! there is such bright light at the end of the tunnel, I can promise you that. as my friend Tina once said, "GETTING divorced sucks, but BEING divorced is great." sending so much love. we've done a few posts, and we will definitely do more.
Hi Kaitlyn and Jo, I'm wondering what the Cup Of Jo/Big Salad community's fragrance preferences are these days. Would love to see a fragrance round up someday from all these beautiful people I admire! I just bought myself a bottle of a French perfume called Contre Ta Peau as a 40th birthday gift to myself and love it a new signature scent, but am so curious what other people have discovered recently.
I’ve loved 11 11 by Lake & Skye for many years. I wear it every single day and always keep a small roller version in my purse. Very curious to hear what others say!
I am currently living in Vacation by Ginger June. The way it smells like old school sunscreen (weird, yeah, I know) is so chic to me (hint: it's the jasmine!)
Love the pics of Freddie's dog. Silly question, but asking since I am clueless about breads and in the market for a smaller dog, is he a pure bread long-haired dachshund? And does he bark a ton?
Wieners are wonderful but you can’t leave them for more than a couple hours or at all. Some can be very barky but I think if you socialize and work with them immediately it helps. They are dogs that were bred to bark underground and alert hunters. So there is always a barkiness lurking. I feel like all the reels about dachshund’s personalities are pretty accurate.
Definitely research them, they have long back problems sometimes, some places won’t let you get them if you live in an apt or have children.
But… once you get one, you join a secret society and become a lunatic who chases down other people with them to show pictures of yours on your phone. And when you see people who own 20, you realize they are not crazy. They have reached Nirvana.
^this is the most intoxicating scent and I am newly obsessed, I asked a woman at a separate table at a restaurant in NYC what this was and now people stop me everyday in SF to ask!!!
I love that Amy Poehler meme. I think about — and quote often — when she talked about normalizing women giving 25% instead of 110% in EVERY area of life 😂 it’s okay to chill out!

oooh I love santal/sandlewood as a scent -- Le Labo's Santal 33 was soooooo popular in New York for a while, and I loved smelling it everywhere :)

yes, he's a long-haired dachshund -- he doesn't bark much! he LOVES tummy rubs and as soon as you walk in the door will flip over onto his back :)
