Last night and then today I made batches of this body balm, though I'm afraid I personally find it too redolent of coconut to use myself - I tried it last night on my lips and it tainted everything with the taste of coconut. #the taste of betrayal I made it with the addition of gold satin mica powder, hoping for a golden shimmer, but alas, I don't ( Read more... )

Five random things on Friday afternoon:

Unlike last time, as soon as the mayor announced that the NYC schools were going to be closed today for the storm, the bosses announced that we also would be closed. So I was excited to get to sleep in without an alarm/having to check to see if we were open ( Read more... )

Thank you all so much for the kind words and offers of help and pictures of puppies in undignified outfits. I appreciate it more than I can possibly say. <333 ( Read more... )
