Take care of yourself and your little girl. Mimi will read a bedtime story.

Hi, love. I’m so sorry about your daughter, but happy that she’s not seriously ill—and that you’re a proactive mama. I don’t have solo cat photos, but if I can interest you in a silly puppy as well, you’re covered. Here are my weirdos distracting me from a workout.

I guarantee you this will pass, or at least lessen in intensity.

Just a pedantic point, but the image at the top references a case where a woman undergoing a spontaneous miscarriage died in the Republic of Ireland due to its equally backward abortion laws, so I think the photo is of a protest in RoI. Yes, we’re all Irish (don’t tell the DUP), but in terms of legislature it’s a…

I am dreading this when I have kids. I really don’t want to have a war with the in-laws about the color pink. Just know, you’re not alone!

This feels like someone’s repurposed Black Widow script.

But more importantly, make a Black Widow movie already. And then an A-Force (the all-female Avengers squad) movie.

That was an absolutely straight-faced quote about rape.

Check out cinder rose from Farrow and Ball. It is a spectacular pink with some really good depth. I’m currently obsessed with paint for my own reasons. Cannot find a spot for that pink, maybe I’ll do a terracotta pot on the balcony with it.

It looks exactly like the type of pre-war apartment you’d see in one of her movies, and all those Depression-era films about the rich where everybody was having cocktails and smoking in rooms like these.*

I think design reflects personalities. Right now I’m Bohemian Eclectic Farm House. If I were a building I would basically be like a stone farm house in Provence lived in by an artist who traveled the world and collected rugs, tapestries and objects of art.

Hm, never thought about it that way. God, what must people think about me when they see my porcelain doll collection, my doggie litter pan, and a Spanish language book about Santeria on my shelf...?

You know, it’s funny - I was always one of those off-white people when I lived in apartments, I think because it was just easier? You don’t have to worry about matching, you can just “accent” things. Now I live in an old 20's house with original wood floors and arched doors and dark wood everywhere and my place is…

I love crazy colors but I also love that modern, clean look. So my dream place would have modern, clean furniture but with a riot of color on the floors and walls. This is the rug I recently put in my living room:

I think it’s a personality thing. Some people like to surround themselves with lots of colour. I like colourful homes for other people but for my home, I need to be surrounded by a relaxing, light, neutral space. I’m not a minimalist but I do like to keep clutter to a minimum. My apartment is all wood floors, white…

They’ve really schooled the Obamas re the Halloween thing...

I feel for her, because she is clearly not politically correct—which in this context is a compliment—but the downfall of telling the unvarnished truth is a lack of diplomacy. Diplomacy exists for the sole reason of getting disagreeable people to agree on things. Brand ambassadors are named that for a reason. And in…

Christmas24! My bestie loves it.

and i am good with little else!
