It might please you to know this singular makeup fact: The little fuzzy wand applicator that goes into a lip gloss tube has a name; it is called a doe foot. A doe foot!

For whatever reason, I have a hard time retaining this fact, and am always coming up with close approximations that I know aren't right: Deer hoof, stag leg. Then I Google, enter in several woodland fauna names and the word "LIPGLOSS," and finally land upon it.

Of all the doe feet in the land, far and away the finest is the one that comes in Lancôme's Color Fever gloss. It's actually more of a cat's paw, really (soft and furry and bendy), that holds about twice as much gloss as the regular versions.

I've been keeping a zipped lip about something big. We're moving. As in, we've moved. Ish.

As I write this I'm in temp digs in Crabtown, staying at my Crabgrandpa's vacation apartment with Crabtot. Crabhub has already gone, to start a new job in our new city, and the movers have packed up our house and trundled it off to a distant metropolis in the west. (Not the house. I mean, houses can't move. Oh, wait. Some of them can. But I think you know what I meant. Our stuff is all gone. Only Crabtot and I remain, hanging for a few loose-end-tying weeks.)

Those of you who have followed the life of this blog know that I began it as a fish out of water, an ex-urban NYC mom who sought greener pastures as a rural mom in Wyoming. Only to find herself at odds with her new enviro, even though it is a swanky ski hamlet in the fabulous Rocky Mountain West. The fish-out-of-water-vibe worked just fine from the blogging perspective: to feel you don't fit is to find plenty to whine about and

If you're looking forward to taking the babes out on your run in the ever-warmer spring weather, try out the new Phil & Ted Vibe. Improving on the original inline model (which lets two kids ride in a single-width buggy), the vibe is 2 pounds lighter, has a wider seat, and is lower to the ground for a smoother ride. With a one-touch brake, waterproof fabric, and a tough, aluminum frame, we can't wait to take it out on the jogging trails. For more great strollers, see our story.

The effluents produced in the textile industry are awful - potentially containing hundreds of chemicals, the most prevalent of which include ammonia, methanol and toluene - all dangerous to human and environmental health (according to the EPA). One way to ensure the fabrics that drape throughout your interiors are of a cleaner derivative is to select a company that respects their weavers as artists and are genuinely committed to sustainable practices. Lulan does just that. Using natural fibers with low-impact dyes, all of their ethnic-inspired deep hued designs are created by hand from start to finish. Visit one of their showrooms in Charleston, South Carolina; Las Vegas; San Francisco; or access their diverse plethora of fabrics online.
