💗On Giving Thanks

What would I do without you?

Hello, Gorgeous!

Writing into the void is an interesting feeling. And by interesting I mean by turns terrifying or exhilarating. I have thoughts. You have opinions. Sometimes…most of the time…we think out loud together; others I go off on a tangent and then you do as well. And then we do it all again the next day.

Beauty, unlike politics, is rarely fraught with great despair (except for the time one of the most famous colorists in the world did my hair before one of my book parties. “My treat!” she said. “You’ll look stunning!” she declared. I did not look stunning. As it turns out, I looked like an Elvis impersonator. There was definitely despair then. I digress).

As we ease into the holiday season it feels like a great time to remember that it’s okay to come together in light, safe spaces. One of the reasons I’m incredibly grateful for all of you is because you’ve helped me to make Hello Gorgeous! into a daily destination, coffee break, catch up place. We don’t always talk about beauty…
