Aloha, friend! Chances are, as you’re reading this, I’m on a plane ✈️ soaring over the Pacific Ocean, because we’re headed to Hawaii ? today (the island of Oahu) to see family. Word on the street is that it’s “cold” (air quotes) over there right now, but you know…if cold means upper-70s with an occasional downpour, I’ll take it. I’m still crossing my fingers that it’ll be sunny a few days, though, so I can go to the beach and make friends with some beach cats. Tabs, who will be working closely with (a.k.a micromanaging) his favorite pet sitter here at the home office, has tasked me with finding new kitty modeling talent while I’m there, and as I’m sure you’re aware, Tabs won’t accept anything less than excellence.
Good luck to me!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Aloha!
Aly Art’s content is really good.
LMK if you end up in Waikiki while you’re here! Hopefully this cloudy, rainy, cool weather ends so you can take a dip in the ocean. I’m waiting for it to as well; been jonesing for some vitamin D synthesis.
Well my weekend is not going to be as wonderful as yours is if you’re en route to Hawaii. You suck. I mean, I can’t wait to see your vacay photos!
It isn’t as cold in Maine as it has been in the Midwest but it hasn’t been pleasant either. Today it’s like 20 but the past two days haven’t gotten out of the teens. But, that’s well above zero so I ain’t gonna pout.
Have a marvelous time! Lather up that baby and her head with sunblock!
Got the worst sunburn of my life in Hawaii when I was a teenager.
Aloha, Karen! Drink a Mai Tai (or three) for me! Thought of you when I saw
Lizzo on Ellen. Glad you got to see her. Have a great trip, and good luck finding new
kitty models! Looking forward to the pictures!
*SQUEAL!! Ok, calm yo self. Breathe. Betsey has a makeup line. I am ALL OVER IT. Damnit … I am on a no-spend haha, but I will be probably be breaking that a bit for this if it ships here.
I’ve definitely been interested in the jellly stuff from ColourPop, but I just don’t need it. I have to try to par down my stuff as it is LOL.
