What to do about another one of the wonderful postpartum indignities nobody warns you about: Crazy, excessive sweating.
BUT FIRST! I have showered and brushed my teeth this morning. I am wearing hot jeans and an old white button-down shirt of Jason’s. The sun is shining and I’m meeting my best girlfriend for lunch with our boys, and in short, everything is returning…

Amy! I am a new reader and already a convert. I have switched to Philosophy Hope in a jar and Hope in a tube. My skin is already glowy which is really great because I am getting married in October and I want to look…

Shampoo slackers unite!
Of babies and unibrows. Who really has the problem here?
Y’ALL! Laura Bennett needs our help. Your help! It’s such a long story, but let’s just say there is some super-extra-awesome stuff going on behind the scenes here at AlphaMom, blah blah blaaaaaaaaaaaaah, and the upshot is that Laura Bennett (yes, that Laura Bennett, of…
How to prevent excess sweating on important — and hot and humid — days.
