Re: Taylor Swift’s lipstick- The Gloss Angeles Podcast interviewed the makeup artist (Kelly Atterton, ep 362, 11/17/23) who did Taylor’s first magazine cover, and they go into the choice of lipstick color. It’s a fun listen if you’re interested!
Love the infinite flowers and mini printer! I also took up piano again this year and find it to be a delightful hobby (inspired by all the surprise songs on the Eras tour... it’s my coping mechanism for wanting to be there for all of them!)
1. The sound of music pics!!
2. Any tips for revisiting the piano when rusty? I want to but don’t feel like I know “where” “how” to start.
3. I’m in LA and would love to be considered for a portrait! I don’t know how to message on this platform 🤣
1. Right!? 😭😭

Can’t wait to listen!! Thank you for the delightful rec!

LOVE the phrase "radical financial literacy," Alex. Did you coin it?
I think I did! 😅
If I borrow it, I will credit you for the phrasing!

Oh that’s brilliant. For my birthday I’m going to ask for a book of Taylor swift music! Hopefully I’ll be back “in shape” by the. 🥰🥰
