  "account": "The author admits that she doesn't know much about makeup and skincare products, but her daughter speaks about them with confidence and authority. The mother often finds herself in a situation where she feels like a novice in a beauty store. However, she is happy to indulge her daughter's interests in self-care, as it gives them a chance to connect. The daughter asks her mother to join her in trips to Sephora, and while the mother initially resists, she eventually learns to embrace the experience. The mother admits that she doesn't feel confident applying makeup or following her skincare routine yet, but she has learned to accept the struggle as part of the learning process. When the daughter flips the words \"The power of yet\" back on her mother, the mother realizes that embracing the struggle means more quality time with her daughter. The daughter leads the way through the aisles of makeup and skincare products, often taking charge with confidence. The mother has learned that some day her daughter might want to shop for makeup just with her friends, but for now, she is happy to be by her side.",
