heralding.

here are the things i have to report:

you know the feeling where you’d rather grow old and die like tomorrow rather than wash the makeup off your face before you go to bed?  i’m feeling that right. now.

rowdy is approved as an emotional support animal and is flying back with me to aspen in late january.  major is not supportive, in that he is an adorable jerk, and he will stay with his dad, whilst rowdy lives his best mountain lifestyle.  i haven’t traveled with rowdy before, but he’s decidedly an old dog that can learn new tricks.  if you have advice, now’s the time – I’ll take it!

moving along, i found this jacket at club monaco here in aspen – it was on sale plus an extra 30% off (makes it that’s a freaking deal) and i think it makes me look a reporter for a women’s fashion journal, maybe just a regional one.  and i like that.  i got a small, but could also swing a medium with big sweaters underneath.

i also brought this faux fur from home – i got it at h&m before we left.  i’ve never been much of a furrier, but the cold here is real life, and fuzz provides warmth, so this girl is on fire in bright orange with red hair.

i’m making a list of the 17 best things that happened to me in 2017.  or at least most memorable, and exciting.  happy things – thoughtful things.  i think it’s important so i’m starting now.

number 18 on the list is the sushi at matsuhisa here.  it’s exceptional, like paint with all the colors of the wind exceptional.  surely if i had a real coat of fur, like on me, like a hide, i’d be glistening from all the good fish oils.

i don’t know shit about makeup – my mom and i missed that moment of training.  but i do know that before a party a few weeks ago, asher and i googled ‘how to do a smokey eye’, and found this and i’ve been doing it ever since and kinda killing it.

this sam smith remix gives me feels.

i’m 100% ready to tell you that i am 98% confident that the mix of this face cream and this eye stuff at night is making my face luscious and sheenful.  and the best part: i look smart.  because it costs like $40 all in.  how bout dat.

and finally, if you waited til the last minute to get the gifts, might i suggest a gift card from furbish that will be delivered directly to your inbox ready to print and present.  plus, they’re 20% off – so you spend $80 and get a $100 credit.  treat yourself.  treat everybody.
