I bought this because...a TEEN told me to?

Plus, my Swig order, should I ever relocate to Salt Lake City.

Over New Year’s, I flew to Phoenix to spend time with Nora and her family (her kids, her husband, her mom, their family friends — everyone was there!). Traditionally, we’ve used this time to celebrate Nora’s birthday, make vision boards for the upcoming year, and indulge the kids with their choice of activities (mozzarella sticks from a restaurant, visiting the bookstore, and playing street Pickleball were the biggies this time around).

Even though my visit was just shy of four full days, we managed to pack in so much, including Nora getting a colonoscopy. We also went to Swig — you know, the soda shop that’s all over Mormon MomTok?

I was fully prepared to be horrified by my impulse order, Life’s a Peach — Dr. Pepper, vanilla, peach, and half-and-half — but the joke’s on me because it was incredible. So tasty and refreshing! Nora’s go-to is the Princess Peach — Dr. Pepper, peach, and coconut cream — but she admits to also loving the Mango Breeze Refresher, which is seltzer, coconut cream, and frozen mango.

While Nora was busy with a camera up her butt, her husband, her 18-year-old daughter, and I went to a nearby mall. Her daughter had a Sephora gift card from Christmas that she was dying to use. When I asked what she planned to get, she told me Dior Backstage Foundation and Diorshow mascara in brown. Desperately trying to come off as cool and not like “mom’s loser friend,” I casually mentioned that while I’d never tried Dior foundation I knew their mascara was excellent and she was like, “the foundation is so good, actually” and I was like what do you know, your collagen production is still very much intact! What are you trying to cover up, you perfect angel with perfect skin?!?!?
