Park Slope moms compare cigs to heroin 🚬

Such a disappointing headline to type.

Good morning everyone! Yesterday I went to The Brightwood for a chemical peel which is why my skin is just glowing today. I met Devon, the cofounder, who also co-founded JECT (a medical spa in Manhattan, LA and The Hamptons). Working on a bigger story about this industry, watch this space. Also I’m addicted to this sunscreen now because I am unsettled by my fine lines and recent sunburns.

Letter is late because I went to breakfast this morning at Montague Diner with Miss.

• Are you a parent of a Gen-Z child? Your self-loathing is ruining your kid’s life. Gen-Zers are growing up in a culture of social media that promotes the endless pursuit of maintaining youth — and at home, some of them are watching their mothers reject aging with every injectable and serum they can find. Beauty Independent asked a bunch of industry leaders to weigh in: “Undoubtedly, moms’ beauty standards are passed on from one generation to the next. I experienced it growing up. As a daughter of a tall, ultra-thin mom, I would occasionally get a dirty look as I indulged on ice cream or cake. I’ve done this to my daughters as well, even when I said I’d never do it!”
