Bleph/No Bleph: The Epilogue

plus, please kiss your dog!

Welcome readers, old and new!

Please tap the ❤️ above to treat yourself to one of the most delightful stories you’ll likely ever read about a wintry mix.

Personal anecdotes this week seem frivolous given world events, so I thought I’d share a few news stories that might burnish whatever joy or optimism you bravely continue to embrace.

• 🐮 Cows! They’re just like us! Bessie reveals her surprising self-care routine.

• 🌳 Tree bark in your sunscreen? Personally, I’m good now, thanks.

• 📰 You, too, can learn how to tell real from fake news. Because it’s going to get much, much harder.

• 👋 Do you use your hands for emphasis in conversation? Research shows you may be understood more… clearly.

• 🐶 Kissing your dog? Have at it, lover girl; that may make you more sociable with the humans in your life, too.

Hurl yourself over the paywall for one last word about how to tackle under-eye issues non-surgically.
