It's been a long time! How are you?


So, the healing process...it's a killer. Times when you think you are all alone, times when you feel great and like you're all better, times when you couldn't be lower. And really, if you're lucky like me, you're not alone, because you have awesome friends that love you and care about you. And the great times and the crappy times both come and go, and slowly, hopefully, the crappy times get fewer and the great times get more frequent.

It's a cycle. I am in the crappy part again.

BUT, I am skinnier, and my hair is longer and curlier, and I have a new tattoo. I love my third graders and I am doing a lot of cleaning and purging in my flat. My cats are very happy, because that guy that didn't like them isn't around anymore, and I am available more often to give them warm places to sit. So there are some good parts.



I am posting pictures of my trip to the Alameda Antiques Fair. Nothing related to beauty products happened, except I should have worn more sunscreen and I had to obsessively keep my scarf on my neck because the tattoo was less than a day old. But it was fun and part of the healing process. Yea.

That's all for now...I hope you're doing well!

yay, the blog is back! love the pics from the antique fair; i like the sunniness and the textures.

beauty tip of the day (well, it's not really beauty- maybe hygiene?): don't soak your contacts in tap water overnight b/c you forgot to pack saline and then try to put them back in your eyes in the morning. feels like you're jamming shards of glass into your eyeballs.

Yeah Christina! Blogging again must be part of the healing process too. Glad your back. My tip is lack of sleep and stress is bad for the complexion so I'm drinking some water and heading to bed.

So glad you are blogging again! By the way, I love the Alameda Antiques Fair. I used to go all the time. Now I feel nostalgic.
