Description:
A mother's advice to her daughter--a guide to daily living, both practical and sublime--with full-color illustrations throughout.


One sleepless night while she was in her early twenties, illustrator/writer Hallie Bateman had a painful realization- her mom would die, and after she died she would be gone. The prospect was devastating, and also scary--how would she navigate the world without the person who gave her life? She thought about all the motherly advice she would miss--advice that could help her through the challenges to come, including the ordeal of losing a parent.




The next day, Hallie asked her mother, writer Suzy Hopkins, to record step-by-step instructions for her to follow in the event of her mom's death. The list began- "Pour yourself a stiff glass of whiskey and make some fajitas" and continued from there, walking Hallie through the days, months, and years of life after loss, with motherly guidance and support, addressing issues great and small--from choosing a life partner to baking a quiche. The project became a way for mother and daughter to connect with humor, openness, and gratitude. It led to this book.




Combining Suzy's wit and heartfelt advice with Hallie's quirky and colorful style, What to Do When I'm Gone is the illustrated instruction manual for getting through life without one's mom. It's also a poignant look at loss, love, and taking things one moment at a time. By turns whimsical, funny, touching, and above all pragmatic, it will leave readers laughing and teary-eyed. And it will spur conversations that enrich family members' understanding of one another.

Step up your fresh breath game!
This!!! This is the step I was missing in my oral care routine. I was previously using one of those cheap plastic little scrubbers you get from the dollar store to brush my tongue but didn't feel like it did much, it was just a routine. A friend of mine suggested a metal tongue scraper and said it was really helping to keep her mouth clean and fresh after a bunch of expensive dental work. Well, shoot....why not? I won't pretend like I know all the scientific benefits behind tongue scraping, but all I know is from the first time, I was sold on it. You simply hold both ends in your hands and gently place the curved groove on the back of your tongue towards your throat, scraping gently down towards the tip of your tongue. You'll be shocked at the amount of goo that comes off! At least I was, and I am a daily tongue brusher! Rinse the muck off between each scraping and your tongue will be clean and neat. 2 points of caution: 1) Be careful going too far back at first. It can trigger your gag reflex so only go back as far as you feel comfortable and work your way back. 2) You have really sensitive large taste buds at the base of your tongue, so do not press and drag too hard. You can use a small amount of pressure, but not too much is needed. You can definitely hurt your tongue that way (I did, and it was not nice). I've noticed that my breath is much fresher for much longer on days when I scrape my tongue with this. (I did a control test with my old plastic brush and this steel scraper, and the steel scraper outperformed by a mile). My mouth felt cleaner and I don't know if this can be proven, but I feel like food tasted better? My morning coffee seemed even more enjoyable after my first round of tongue-scraping. You get two for such a good price and it will last such a long time. Get one for you and your SO. To be honest, all the brushing and flossing, and mouthwash in the world doesn't replace scraping all that gunk off your tongue if you want fresh clean breath. I highly recommend it.

Simple and Effective for Fresher Breath!
I decided to try these stainless steel tongue scrapers, and I'm glad I did. You get a pack of two, which is convenient. They feel really sturdy, being made of surgical steel, and they are easy to clean. I've noticed a difference in how fresh my mouth feels since I started using them. It's a simple addition to my oral hygiene routine, but it seems to make a real impact on breath freshness. If you're looking for a durable and effective tongue cleaner, this two-pack is a good option.
