Sorry Guys, Season Two of Downton Abbey Sucks
So sad. So true. *Edit for RVV: Yes, it gets a lil’ better as it goes on but Season 1 will live in my heart forever.

I made that piece in my first ever painting class in undergrad. :)
I think Pluto is happier now as the king of the comets, instead of being a pipsqueak planet.

The arrival of my Good Night Day x Of a Kind Wawa Circle Scarf was perfectly timed with the frigid weather. Putting it on right now!
Back with another clumsy girl pro tip for painting your nails at home. I call this one the “avant-garde french”. Here’s how you do it:
Paint the entire nail with one coat of a pale pink or white polish (I used Essie Like Linen). It’s easy to look like you did an awesome job when the polish is pale. Let it dry for 5 - 10 minutes or so.
Using your secondary color (I used Chanel Blue Satin) lightly drag the brush from the lowest point you want the tip to reach back up to the top. Repeat until you have the “design” you’d like on each tip. The secret about this part is that you pretend you made them all different on purpose — and your unsteady left hand actually becomes your ally producing all sorts of randomness. Let that dry for 5 - 10 minutes so you don’t smear the tips when going for the top coat.
Apply a clear topcoat to the entire nail and you are good to go.
My friend Mars convinced me to join in her annual January health month this year. Went out to a bar for the first time last night and embraced the no booze rule. My new drink = club soda + a splash of orange juice. Not so shabby!
