Hello, friends! I am a writer, a tango dancer, and a clothing designer, and on the side I'm obsessed with makeup & skincare. I did a NO-BUY YEAR in 2018 to break my habit of overspending on beautiful things, and I created this channel to record my progress. In the wake of my no-buy year I'm learning how to balance my love of beauty with my desire for moderation and financial health. If that resonates with you, hope you will subscribe to my channel!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Joe and I have prepared some new fashion & beauty compilation videos (similar to those we made a couple of years ago for our parental leave) and we'll be posting them to the channel this week and next. Each compilation strings together a bunch of related videos into one long video, kind of like a curated and more seamless version of a video playlist. The first one is live now: https://youtu.be/cKgz0wW5pds

We are taking a short hiatus to recharge and prevent burnout (by the skin of our teeth, LOL!) and we'll be back with fresh content in February. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the compilations! They are great for falling asleep at night, doing housework and other projects, and they're actually quite perspective-bolstering—tracking and processing the large-scale sweep of aesthetic trends in fashion and beauty, everything that sways us seems to make more sense and also matter less.

Thanks for sticking around while we take care of ourselves!

Y'all, my beautiful and WILDLY TALENTED friend Amy has finally launched her YouTube channel! If you have even the vaguest interest in crafting, especially quilting, you MUST follow her. She is a font of wisdom and so lovely to watch.

Sharing this criminally under-viewed masterpiece on a Monday afternoon. I watch this video whenever I need a boost, which means that it basically lives in my recommended side-bar 😂 TRULY the greatest song ever to have come from RuPaul's Drag Race, it brings me back to life every time. I am so glad that your star is on the rise ‪@OceanKelly‬ because the world needs every single spark of your magical electricity that you are willing to give!!!!!

IT'S THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!! The first episode of ‪@bangingoftheshrew‬ is now available WITH CAPTIONS on YouTube! You can listen to the actors and READ the script on the screen at the same time! I still recommend listening with headphones to get the full surround-sound experience :)

friends, I just posted my new video but there was something wrong...it looks like processing is taking a mysteriously long time on the back end of YouTube and the audio hadn't fully rendered yet. I'm waiting for it to render and will post as soon as it's ready. I'm so sorry if you clicked on the video and then it disappeared! Keep checking back—it really should not be more than an hour, hopefully sooner.

EEEEEEK! I'm on ‪@thefinancialdiet‬ 😭 This month I've learned that giving interviews makes me feel really vulnerable but it's worth it. Thank you to everyone who's already watched and left such nice and supportive comments. I love you all ❤️

Y'all...😱 --> spoti.fi/3HgEamg
I had the incredible (and sort of terrifying) honor of being interviewed by THEE Alex Blumberg for this week's episode of How to Save a Planet!! I just listened to the episode and it literally made me laugh out loud AND cry a tear all within a short half-hour. I hope that you will click through and listen!
