Hello, Gorgeous!
I’ve been thinking about how much I love hearing from you. Whether it’s Kendra treating her friend to a paid subscription to help support my writing and cheer up her friend (that still makes me smile!), or your thoughtful DMs and replies about everything from Russian manicures (you had a LOT to say) to MAC Lipglass Air (You read about it. You bought it. You love it).
Over the past year+ of writing this newsletter, I’ve noticed something fascinating. Well, many fascinating things—but this one stands out:
So many of you are shy about sharing your thoughts publicly. You’ll reply to my emails or message me privately, but you don’t always want to “speak up in class.”
I get it. I respect it.
But… for those of you who are ready to share, I’d love to shine the spotlight on YOU.
