If you're just stopping by, I wrote earlier in the week that I'll be wearing lipstick everyday for the month of May. As a way to shake things up, and as an act of defiance against negative thoughts and feelings. I'm not a big challenge person, so cleanses and workout regimens don't really work for me - but I've always turned to fashion to upend the sads, and this case is no exception.

I'm encouraging you all to participate with the hashtag #aoklipstickchallenge, however you like. So maybe you don't like lipstick but you want to wear color every day, or do a cleanse, or call a friend. Whatever activity will take you out of a doubtful state of mind. And know you can check in here with me every day!

One last thing: If you're a Snapchat 👻 fan like me, I'll be sharing my look / lipstick every day over there. Username allisonboc.

And that's all I've got for you today.

xoxo,
