hot takes

you can’t “spoil a baby”

babies are meant to be held & loved on.

remember, a baby has been surrounded by warm fluid for 9-10 months. so of course being out in the world is very different for them. don’t let anyone tell you you’re holding your baby too much. 💙🩷#momhottakes #lemon8challenge

A hand holds a concealer, which the article describes as a $7 product that works well for the user, avoiding cracking issues.

A close-up of Rachel Berry from Glee is shown, with text overlaying 'Rachel hate train'. Bullet points detail opinions that Rachel didn't deserve to get into NYADA the first time, her dream role, or to be let back in after leaving.
