A Swift Master-PEACE: Finding Comfort in the Long Pond Sessions

Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions film artwork featuring Taylor Swift

Screen & Sound · The Lori Diaries

I've been trying to find the right word for folklore: the long pond studio sessions, and I keep coming back to the same slightly ridiculous one: master-PEACE. Yes, I know how that sounds. But after the year we've had, there's something about watching Taylor Swift sit in a quiet studio and sing the songs that got me through the summer that feels a little like being allowed to exhale.

The Purple Palette I Waited For: My ABH Norvina Review

My Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina eyeshadow palette

Everything Else · The Lori Diaries

I saw the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina palette and immediately decided that, sooner or later, it was coming home with me. Perhaps it was the purple velvet packaging. Perhaps it was the promise of pinks, lilacs, and the sort of shimmers that make you open a palette just to look at them. Either way, my first ABH purchase had been mentally added to my makeup collection long before I actually bought it.
