The song in this video is gorgeous. Taylor Swift’s Love Story meets Coldplay’s Viva La Vida. We loooove it.

(Thanks to plb for introducing us to it!)

A mask but make it fashion. Or don’t. Just wear one. Happy Friday, friends. Have a safe weekend 🤍

AD: This should surprise no one but I wasn't that into sports in high school 🤗 But games? COUNT ME IN. I loved a game of Capture the Flag (remember Capture the Flag!?) or Assassin so reading @linsey.miller’s new book THE GAME all about a high school game of Assassin was such a fun blast from the past. Until you realize that in #TheGame this time around there's a killer at large at Lincoln High 😳 Who said High School was all fun and games? 😂 In under 225 pages you can return to your high school days and get a short + fun thriller with this book @getunderlined #GetUnderlinedPartner

In the words of Taylor Swift, “Baby, let the games begin.” p.s this is only half the bins 😳 #moving

Just under 3 weeks ago I went to the dermatologist for my next full body scan. As a skin cancer survivor I need to go every 4-6 months vs. the recommended once every year. I ended up having two spots biopsied. ⁣
⁣
That night when I got home I felt such a sense of anxiety. What if another basal cell was found? What if I had skin cancer AGAIN? The odds of another cancerous basal cell occurring in the calendar year after your first is high. I had been so, so rigorous and committed to proper sun care. But still there was a chance that one of these biopsies came back as cancerous. They were both very close to where my 2019 skin cancer had been found. ⁣
⁣
Before bed that night I started to try and clean and protect the biopsy sites and that’s when the tears started. It was a flashback to how hard it had been to do wound care after my skin cancer removal surgery last year. This part of your body is decidedly not easy to reach by yourself let alone clean, apply Vaseline and bandage by yourself. I started to cry for fear I had let myself down and possibly had more skin cancer. I started to cry for fearing the results. I started to cry for wishing there was someone who could just apply the wound care for me without the bandaids not going onto the right spot or getting stuck in my hair. ⁣(The last photo above is from that night).
⁣
One of the things I think 2020 has taught me is that when the tears are coming...let them flow. I’ve cried a lot more this year than years past. And the tears are a reminder that it’s ok to not be ok sometimes. A reminder that it’s ok to ask for help. A reminder to reach out when you’re feeling exhausted, depleted and sad. So if you’ve been crying lately, too - I’m with you in spirit. ⁣
⁣
This story has a happy ending though- after two weeks of waiting in anxious anticipation for my results - both biopsies came back all clear this past Friday 🙏🏻 Wear SPF and stay our of the sun as much as you can, all 🤍 #skincancer #skincancerawareness
