Monday Memo No. 45
Spring Mondays are the only tolerable Mondays.
Bio-Oil
As a pregnant human, I’ve noticed that product and baby item recommendations are PLENTIFUL. However, the top-recommended (by my dermatologist and many others!) product for use to combat stretch marks during pregnancy is Bio-Oil. It’s kind of hard to ignore recommendations this consistent, so I’ve been using it for the past several weeks and am loving it (the scent is divine). Team Bio-Oil, officially.
Jouer Lip Liner
To be Frank (lol I’m not Frank, I’m Mary) anything Jouer makes for our lips is simply heavenly. But at the moment I’m particularly into the brand’s lip liner in Sable, which I wore to a wedding I went to over the weekend. It goes on so smooth and lasts forever, which is very key when you’re at an event and you want to focus on, you know…the event rather than constant touch ups.
Laura Mercier Cream Lipsticks
In other pout-pertaining news, Laura Mercier’s Cream Lipsticks are, I’m happy to report, very moisturizing and also stay on really well. I wore the shade called Nu Préféré to the above-mentioned wedding over the weekend and it’s going to make many more appearances this spring. I have many, many colors from this range, but the Nu Préféré shade for spring is just the perfect natural rose color with a coral undertone.
Nordstrom’s Top-Selling Jumpsuits
Here’s a question: Love getting dressed for a night out but kind of feel like wearing pants? Love a good jumpsuit but don’t fancy looking like you live in a dystopian YA novel? Have I got the garment(s) for you. Take a peek at a few of the below top selling black jumpsuits at Nordstrom. They’re perfect for dressing as far up or down as your accessories allow, and they’re a welcome reprieve from LBD boredom. Jumpsuit 1, Jumpsuit 2, Jumpsuit 3, Jumpsuit 4. The reviews on those suckers don’t lie.
Sarah Flint Perfect Pumps
In response to a very important and relatable DM I received over the weekend requesting a heel recommendation that is comfortable, stylish and not too sky-high, I want to share this brand again. If you work in a professional setting and are looking for footwear that doesn’t make you cry (either from pain or ugliness), look no further. Sarah Flint can literally outfit your entire professional shoe wardrobe. Their “Perfect Pump” (I did an entire post about it here) was created specifically with the chic working girl in mind—making sure neither style nor comfort is sacrificed. Best part? This gorgeous pump comes in a low heel, mid heel, and high heel option.
Massager
There are definitely some pregnancy aches and pains I find myself needing to address these days, but I feel like we all know what soreness and tension feel like, pregs or not. I just bought this massager (check out the crazy amazing reviews!) that’s really making a difference for me. The addition of heat is a real game-changer.
Big Little Lies Season 2
Anyone else living for the trailer for Big Little Lies Season 2? Current hype is all about Game of Thrones, but some of us crave our drama without a side of dragons. Things are looking interesting for this all-star cast (who are casually joined by Meryl Streep this time!). Cannot wait for June 9th.

I am interested in your review of the massage machine after you have had for a while. Hope it works as good as it looks!
