Friday Flotsam

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrartsarm!

Let’s talk about Ilia. That doesn’t look right.

Hold on.

Yeah, that’s it! Except all capitals. ILIA. The makeup.

I know we’ve talked about this before but every time my Nars gets low I panic and wonder what other magical cream is out there that I’m in the complete dark on.

And by complete dark I mean I’m getting served massive ILIA ads on IG and it’s this close to working.

Specifically, their Skin Tint. Have any of you tried this? Does it count as a light foundation? What I’ve been doing for the last however many months is a little squirt of Nars tinted moisturizer + my favorite Glotion that I obsess over. If you’ve never tried that glotion, this is your moment. It’s GREAT. For me, it helps to swirl in a little of the Nars for light coverage, but it just works. But would the Skin Tint be better? Or give me the same results? Or is there a more magical combination that I’m not thinking of?

Or do I just need a taco?

I have a weird question for you. If your weirdness matches my weirdness then this will be a cinch.

Do you remember the first time you heard of a celebrity dying, and that sort of made death real? Like when you were a kid, and there was breaking news on the TV announcing a famous person’s death, and it stilled you to silence because celebrities aren’t supposed to die! Who was that person for you?

For me it was Sammy Davis Jr. Isn’t that completely random? 1990. I wasn’t even THAT YOUNG either, but I remember hearing it on the news and feeling like there was some mistake. This had to be wrong. I just kept sitting there like, “How? How could he have died? This makes no sense.”

(I swear a lighter topic is coming!)

Who was that celebrity for you? What made mortality REAL for you?

You’re like, “Uh let’s go back to makeup, BEV.”

You guys!!

!!!!!

Guess what’s on Spotify. You will DIE.

Do you remember the Pure Moods cds that were advertised on TV and you’d call in and pay the shipping and handling and the cds were mail to you?! (Just to be clear, we never did, but I always wanted them because hello, ENIGMA. I was such a rebel!) Those!!! They are on Spotify and you will fall over laughing.

Here’s the commercial, just to get you in the PURE MOOD. It’s won the hearts of millions, you guys. Start there. Start with the commercial and then move onto Spotify greatness.

Just so you know, there’s an original release from 1994, and then there’s one from 1997 and both are worth your entire life. I know way too much about this and clearly need friends.

How can we track down that one romantic collection with like, Celine and Kenny G on it? I can’t remember what it’s called. Hold on I’m googling this.

Hold on.

OMG!!!!! ULTIMATE LOVE SONGS COLLECTION. It’s a once in a lifetime collection, you guys. Watch that commercial and live your truth.

OMG.

I am dead. This is my spring break. I’m going to blast this every single day next week and watch Aaron slowly disintegrate.

The other day Will looked me dead in the eye and said, “What would happen if the entire school tooted at the same time?”

I’ve never been so proud.

Weekend plans?

We’re officially on spring break which feels odd because didn’t they just go back to school after Christmas break? I don’t understand time.

We have a bunch of little things. Variety show work (three weeks away omg), basketball watching, garden beds prep, taxes, teeth, a little day trip up north to fossil hunt (them, not me), a lingering lunch with a bestie (me, not them), brunch with other besties, lots of runs, lots of reading, and just general putzing around. I need a good thrifting day. I need to put pen to paper and map out the flower beds, the herb garden, the fence ivy plans. I need to wash patio pillows and slingback chair fabrics. Clearly all to the soundtrack of ULTIMATE LOVE SONGS.

From this week! Your March mixtape. Have you listened? It’s a good’n! And then a Lemon Poppy Seed Cake to DIE for. It’s delish. You must get in it.

Okay tell me, what would happen if the entire school tooted at the same time?
