Willa Skincare for girls just old enough to care about such things

by Delilah S. Dawson | Beauty + Cosmetics

I learned two things painting faces at an Easter party: little boys really like to be painted as zombies, and wow, tweens and teens have seriously oily skin. So oily that you have to blot it before you can paint it. Yowza. I’m so glad to see that the products I...

Fashion and beauty fans – have we got the new site for you.

by Cool Mom Staff | Beauty + Cosmetics

We may be beauty and fashion fanatics to some degree, but chasing after kids and working full-time means that we have less time than we like to spend on taking care of ourselves. Why do you think we’re such fans of online shopping? The one drawback:...

Buffy the Dry Skin Slayer

by Delilah S. Dawson | Baby

I love exfoliators, but I rarely buy them. Why? I hate digging my fingers into goop and then watching half of it ooze down the shower grate. But with the cold weather here and the radiators blasting, I’m happy to have found a yummy scrub that sidesteps the bad...

The beauty of Blissoma (or, how I learned to stop frying my skin and love the vitamins)

by Delilah S. Dawson | Beauty + Cosmetics

Sometimes, I feel like my face is a battlefield. Since that first, confusing teen pimple, I’ve tried everything from earth mama oil cleansing, to whatever Glamour told me to use, to a more…. well, scorched earth policy of serious prescription retinoids...

Pantone’s 2011 color of the year keeps you pretty in pink. Or honeysuckle.

by Cool Mom Staff | Fashion

This week on Blogher Style, I wrote about the new 2011 Pantone color of the year: Honeysuckle. Well slap me silly, I would have thought it would be some sort of yellow shade but nope. It’s pink all the way. And why yes, I am laughing a bit at Pantone’s...

Sponsored Post: Get Caught Looking Beautiful

No matter how you look, at least the mirror’s beautiful

by Betsy | Beauty + Cosmetics

I wish I liked eating salads, but I really, really don’t. I always seem to end up with a honking piece of spinach lodged between my teeth, cliche though that may sound, so I like to carry a compact mirror with me. That’s why Iike the new collection of...

This Works. Says them. And us.

by Christina Refford | Beauty + Cosmetics

Each morning, it takes a vat of coffee to get me going and ready to face another day in charge of three young lives. So yes, I was eager to try out a shower gel with the word “energy” in it. This Works: Energy Bank Bath and Shower Gel works indeed. Not...

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!

Kristen Chase + Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks

We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, easier, more organized, more meaningful, and more fun for parents of all kinds.

Trivia: It was called Cool Mom Sh*t for the first two days. (Yeah, we rethought that.)

We had no idea our site would grow to become a major lifestyle network, that we'd end up sharing our finds with the TODAY Show and Martha Stewart, that we'd be able to make a real difference for so many small businesses and women-run companies, or that we'd end up with an incredible community of the coolest readers on the planet. (If we do say so ourselves).

But we did.

And we still love what we do every single day.

We're so glad you're here.
