The Scale Is Finally Moving Again
Eva hadn't budged from 186 for a year and a half — until she stepped on it this week and saw 180, a number she hasn't seen in ages, ice cream summer in Washington included.

After Eva went in for Halo laser resurfacing with a friend (who happens to be one of the best in the world), she walked out looking horrifying (according to the 8 year old) then drove straight to a dance recital tearing a cooling mask in half and swapping it between cheeks. She’s back with the whole before-and-after saga: the time-lapse, the nitrous oxide she thought she wouldn’t need, a wicked fever-blister flare, and ten full seconds of obsessing over her jawline. An opportunity to do Junera

We're Back, and We Found a Cheaper Way to Get Your Meds
After an accidental three-and-a-half-month hiatus, we are back with updates and committing to every week. We catch up on kids, summer camps, GLP-1 dosing and pricing, HRT and perimenopause, peptides, and one genuinely scary night at the tennis court.
