Good morning! Sorry for missing last week’s newsletter — I was very overwhelmed with work and moving, and I can’t say that’s changed. But I do honor this little commitment every week and it feels nice… so let’s get into it :)
This week’s picks include the ACUVUE twins, Color(s) of the Year and unplugging from the discourse.
