Dear everybody

Dear Curly Haired Readers,

We all know that I am a big fan of curly hair. And if you are one of the many who mentioned that you are going to try out my Miracle Product, I salute you. I wish you the best. But I feel compelled to warn you. A friend of mine with wavy/curly hair once asked me to do her hair to make it look like mine. So we took her through the exact same process that I go through every day.

(If you're curious: Wash and condition your hair. Wring it out and comb it. Squirt a quarter-size dollop of Miracle Product in your palm. Rub palms together. Rake them through your hair. Bend over at the waist and scrunch your upside-down hair with a small towel, preferably not a fluffy one. Stand up straight and do a bit more scrunching. Do not touch again for the rest of the day.)

And the hair, it looked... well, it wasn't awful. But it certainly wasn't Miraculous. It was very disappointing.

So I'm just warning you. It's the Miracle Product for me. And I hope it will be for you too. But the same way that foams and creams and serums don't work for me, the Miracle Product might not work for you. And please, if you try it, let me know whether it was Miraculous for you too.

Love,
Your partner in curls


Dear Groundhog Day,

What is your point? Why do you exist? The two outcomes are either an early winter OR six more weeks of winter. Meaning that there should never be more than six weeks of winter after February 2, right? But here we are at the end of March and it is STILL WINTER. What is the DEAL?

Sourly,
The girl who has still not recovered from her birthday weekend snowstorm


Dear Weight Watchers,

I love you again. For awhile I was struggling, feeling like I had hit a plateau and not knowing how to keep moving forward. And I was grumpy that I couldn't just shove whatever I liked into my mouth. But then I snapped back into it, started a diet journal on Swistle's recommendation, and am pressing forward again. And I feel better. And I'm not focusing on numbers anymore. Or the wedding. I'm so glad I found a wedding dress that can be altered as much as necessary, and was able to order it in a size that will fit me even if I don't lose any more weight, so I don't have to worry. The focus is back on health. Thanks for forcing me back on track.

Gratefully,
Your newly re-devoted member


Dear Bakeries We Are Visiting This Weekend,

Please, please, please tell me that your wedding cake is as good as everyone says. And that you can make a purple wedding cake. One that is really, truly purple (at least on the outside). And doesn't cost $20 per slice.

Droolingly,
A cake-tasting novice


Dear Friday,

I love you. Thank you for arriving so quickly this week.

Your sleep-deprived devotee
