Note to Self

Don't forgo a little polish in the morning...

...because you never know when you're going to find yourself in Goldie Hawn's apartment, having a conversation with Melanie Griffith and sipping lemon water. When I interned at Allure, whipping out my favorite Nars lipstick in Flamenco became second nature. Now, I'm lucky if I can get clothes on before I tear out of my apartment, Tasmanian Devil-style, and run to the office/a meeting/an event. I realized today, while sitting on Goldie Hawn's couch and thanking God that I didn't wear an old Theory dress that totally has a stain on it, that I just feel more confident and put-together when I swipe on a bit of makeup (and don't wear clothes that are in dire need of a dry-cleaning). Hi, red lipstick. Hi, mascara. Hi, primer. Hi, laundry detergent/dry cleaner around the corner from my apartment. Let's play.

I'm definitely thinking that with your job, you're going to want to throw the slap on in the morning and become good friends with your dry cleaner.
Goldie Hawn's apartment?! This is getting really exciting! x

Sounds like a good kind of whirlwind to me! I love the thrill of putting on some makeup in the morning, hoping that it'll last me through my unknown daily events. Then I see pictures and I'm like- oh, thankfully my makeup lasted all day!
