    I’m glad influencers and people are more open about Botox and treatments. Medspas also kind of weird me out but I was looking at some as they’re the only places with hydrafacials around here. My dermatologist who prescribed me Accutane is also into cosmetic dermatology so I’d like to think I could go there.

    A classmate recently posted how they were updating the firm photos and she didn’t want new photos as she liked the ones 8 years ago. Her male colleague wanted new photos as he would look more professional and distinguished.

    I don’t have anything against people who want work done but this did make me think.

    We recently updated some headshots. I didn’t write about it here but I am fairly certain the advertising company photoshopped my photos so my face would be slimmer. I definitely have gained weight. It is good photoshop and my husband says that I still look like myself unlike some photoshopped headshots I’ve seen at other firms. But it is very embarrassing (hence why I didn’t post here). I don’t think the partners had anything to do with it. Possibly the photographers photoshopped everyone.

    My niece loves pink and unicorn. My sister never pushed that and actually when she was growing up didn’t like dresses and all that. But now I just want to buy the unicorn things for my niece!

    Ooh Lo and Sons looks good! Have to figure out shipping though.

    Haha I don’t go out much (COVID) so I only started noticing the belt bag this summer. Do you wear it cross body or around your waist?

    @copa, good point! I drive to work. I’ve noticed some of my female colleagues have smaller purses and then a laptop bag. The driving part probably explains it.

    Thanks for the work bag perspectives. I am using a Kate Spade tote bag now. It’s fine, but yeah, just rethinking things.

    Hah fourth enjoying every my husband is out of town. True about staying later at work. I do like spreading out in the bed haha. My husband works from home whereas I’m at the office full time so I feel like he’s been in the house alone a lot more. Granted he is working but still.

    I feel like my husband is an equal partner in terms of cooking and laundry and other choices. I couldn’t imagine something different. Even though my mom was a working professional, she did and does nu dad’s laundry.

    On a different topic, what do you use as a work bag? For a while I’ve used a tote bag purse that can fit a laptop but I realize I could use a real laptop bag and carry a regular purse.

    Mmhmm there were a cluster of weddings around 26-27. And now just scattered so far from 30 to 34. I was into wedding tiktok and most of those brides are in their late 20s so I felt a bit older. I would say that the main “pressure” is having children if one wants them.

    Just an observation—- two of my husband’s friends and engaged/married to women who have kids. Everyone is in their early 30s.

    I know I need to stop comparing myself with people but I did feel self conscious getting married at 33 (technically 32 but my 33rd year). Now I know of 7 of my peers/friends who got married at 33 this year. I guess just anecdotally people in my circle (city, university degree) are getting married older and there’s no “normal”. Also maybe this was impacted by the pandemic.

    I think I’ll try a Wet Brush!

    I splurged and got the vitamin c from La Roche Posay. I liked the sample I had of it (felt like it brightened my skin) but went for The Ordinary. The latter was fine but I didn’t think it did too much. la Roche Posay also has hyaluronic acid

    Happy belated threadaversary!! The two years I was dating felt like eons but I can’t believe I’ve dated my hubs for five years!

    Also, as is the oft OT of this thread, what kind of brush do you use? I’ve just been using a wide tooth comb to get out large knots but I realize a brush might be good for smoothing.

    See I also read that they only introduced the 5 day quarantine to get people back to work but you might still be shedding virus if you test positive on rapid tests. PCR tests might show you are positive long after you get COVID

    Hope you all feel better Wendy! I haven’t heard too many asymptomatic positive antigen tests so I guess it is good it was caught.

    Decided to get my fourth shot on Saturday. Figured by the time the next vaccine gets approved I’ll be due for my next one.
