I don’t remember who said this or where I heard it but it’s been boppin around in my brain for a few months and I thought maybe you could use the reminder, too. ✨

This was the final version of the abstract piece I did a few weeks ago and donated to a charity auction. I was surprised and pleased with how well and weird it turned out! GOOD NEWS it did sell, which is great because I would hope someone would lie to me even if it didn’t but I’m glad it didn’t come to that. I got a few inquiries about custom commissions for these and the short answer is “not right now” especially because I still owe @lauradavis one that she bought last spring. But also I’ll do just about anything for the right price so, you know. Let’s talk.

Who wants to join my Winter Skin Support Group? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️
I don’t really consider myself a skincare obsessive or product junkie but my bathroom counter says otherwise this month. 😳

These are all the products in current rotation- though for me, my diet, water intake, and taking a probiotic all seem to make the most noticeable difference. These products just help when I can’t seem to get the other self-care tasks lined up just right.

I don’t like skincare product recommendations because everyone’s skin is so different! I deal with mild rosacea and have sensitive skin, so what works for me might not work for you.
So my only tips are to shop at @ultabeauty because they have a great return policy, and @nordstromrack because they have fancy products at deep discounts so you can try a bunch of things (like all the @ohk_life masks!) and see what works for you!

Some of my ~* oPiNioNs *~ this week:
• I’m just now watching The Mindy Project and Chris Messina is the best Hollywood Chris • This whole “snow in February” thing is egregious and bad • The only newsworthy event tonight is Stacey Abrams’ SOTU response • If you’re at @ny_now you should visit the @paperepiphanies booth to see this fabulous card and the rest of their thoughtful, sassy line (and while you’re in the city you should overnight me some bagels). Booth 7215! #nynow #nynow2019

This is the stump of a Western Red Cedar at the cemetery I walk to with the dog every morning that had to be cut down yesterday after it succumbed to a beetle infestation this past year. The air was clear and cold and smelled of cedar and the dogs ran through patches of the chippings and a bunch of us morning walkers stood around this stump, vaguely sad and a little awestruck. Two of them had counted the rings yesterday and came up with somewhere between 114 and 119. Someone else piped up that the science of dating trees by their rings is called “dendrochronology“.
• I was comparing “omg we are so old now” anecdotes with a girlfriend from college the other day and when I told her, “Wellp, I joined the board of directors for the local pioneer cemetery” she burst out laughing and said “ok you win!” (@realtorkirenmac 💕)
• January is the weirdest longest slowest month where nothing makes sense or sticks for long and makes me feel somewhere between 114-119 years old.

Another installment of “The Palette is Always Prettier Than The Art” • Just peeled this off in one satisfying, gummy, paint piece and have always liked the idea of displaying the palette alongside the finished work, if I ever have another art show.

San Francisco houses are so stinking cute. 🤗 Got to loosen up a little style-wise with this custom commission from Christmastime. The blossoming cherry tree and plants in the windows were a special request I was more than happy to accommodate. Also- porch dog. #jcroillo

What am I even doing pt. 9,251

We disappeared into the mountains for the first week of the new year and it was all it’s cracked up to be. 7 friends and 2 dogs shared this little cabin, and home cooked meals and snowy day expeditions and quiet afternoons of knitting and games and reading.

Not going to miss the outhouse situation but it was overall such a good reset before diving back into the first work week of 2019. (Which I’m trying to do right now and deeply struggling).
