STORY: Let’s Talk About Bone Health
By Liz Thompson
“There was my mom lying on a gurney, with one leg clearly much shorter than the other. Even after birthing four kids, I still became nauseous at the sight of blood and had to talk myself out of throwing up.”
GIFTS: Yes, Already
We know, we know — it isn’t even Halloween yet. But our news feeds are already starting to fill up with fun gift ideas, so we’re going to start including a few of them here each week. We’ll try to keep things under $100. (If you see something we should include, let us know in the comments!)
This week: Four new things we wouldn’t mind unwrapping:
This Is Ear Hustle, a new book from the hosts of the award-winning Ear Hustle podcast.
Woman Made, a book that celebrates 200+ female product designers from 50+ countries because design is not, and has never been, a man’s world.
Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace, a new book about LA’s famous disco rollerskating venue, with contributions from Cher, Laura Dern, and other big names. Perfect for those who still love to rock on 8 wheels.
Finally, what do you give the person who has everything, including expensive taste? Hermès nail polish.
TUENIGHT 10: Stephanie Vaught
Stephanie is a Gen-X financial coach and money management expert who helps women over 40 gain confidence in their financial decisions, and build a life they love. An attorney by trade, she no longer dresses the part because “My intellect and intelligence have nothing to do with my hem line.”
Anyone else going as the Log Lady for Halloween, TueNighters? We won’t judge!
