So where does it go so wrong, and how can you avoid it? We asked the pros how to negotiate with your hairdresser and avoid future meltdown moments at the salon. That said, there are certain adjectives to avoid, especially when you get into tricky territory like bangs. Instead of using vague words like “shorter” and “longer” (your version of shorter may be entirely different from your hairdresser’s), be more descriptive....
Wearing makeup, as you can imagine, is a struggle. Any powder, cream, or liquid foundation I’ve tried to use on my face has dried up along with my skin and flaked off a few hours later thanks to my parched canvas. That was the case until I tried the Super Serum Skin Tint by Ilia Beauty. To buy: $48; iliabeauty.com. I’m almost hesitant to call this skin tint makeup since it feels more like skincare on my face....
On This Episode It’s frustrating when you’re not getting what you want out of your career, whether it’s money, meaning, or in the case of this week’s listener, both. So what do you do next? Give up the security of a steady paycheck to pursue your passions—or stick it out and hope that someday you’ll make more money? And if that’s a possibility, what can you do to try to make it happen?...
In rooms where a standard hinged door might take up too much space, sliding barn doors can make the most of the space available while introducing a splash of color or character. (And they’re so much more dignified than rickety accordion or bifold doors.) Think of them as built-in multitaskers—they can help a room feel more open (or separate) and introduce a new décor feature at the same time. Plus, they can go nearly anywhere: bathrooms, kitchens, closets, laundry rooms, bedrooms, and more....
So what’s her secret? “For me, it’s practicing mindfulness. That means staying away from my phone as long as I can in the morning (which infuriates some people), meditating, and not letting the world bombard me like it does, which is especially important in the business that we’re in,” she says. “I used to just burst myself into the world and not have a moment, and I think it’s so important to give yourself that extra 30 minutes in the morning, which is usually the minimum of what I try to give myself to be alone and do absolutely nothing....
For this recipe, just warm up a wet batter, mix in flour and finely chopped almonds, and then drop spoonfuls of batter onto parchment-lined baking sheets. That sugary batter spreads into lovely round cookies in the oven, caramelizing just a bit. Wonderful on their own, lace cookies are also fantastic served in a scoop of ice cream or as an impromptu cookie sandwich filled with peanut butter or Nutella. The total time includes cooling....

ConcealerConcealer is one of those basic makeup essentials to keep on you at all times (just in case). Choose a creamy formula that can hide under-eye circles and uninvited blemishes. FoundationFoundation is, well, the foundation of any makeup routine—basic or elaborate—but you don’t need to slather it all over your face. Just apply in places where you see uneven skin tone or discoloration. If you don’t need as much coverage as a liquid foundation provides or prefer something a little lighter, consider a tinted moisturizer instead....
Christina has been taking on extra jobs to attempt to pay off the debt, but she still feels like she’s falling behind. “When you see what you pay and the numbers just don’t go down, it’s almost like when you’re working really hard on your homework and you still only get a C average,” she says. Rodriguez turned to financial expert Cindy Zuniga-Sanchez, founder of Zero-Based Budget Coaching, who paid off $215,000 of her own debt, for suggestions for Christina....
With that in mind, setting aside just a little time to gather the necessary supplies for a bug-out bag or go-bag is undoubtedly a smart move. Having most emergency kit essentials set aside is a good idea; perishable items or items that need to be used up until disaster strikes, such as medications, can be collected at the last minute. Batteries and bulbs should be checked with relatively frequency; if you’re concerned about a flashlight or radio giving out during a potential disaster, keeping spare batteries and other supplies in the emergency kit is a smart solution....
