Fine, I Finally Did It

Books, Beauty, and Bean

I’ve been threatening to do a newsletter for a while, and now seems as good a time as any. So, hello! I plan to write about books, beauty, and of course, send y’all photos of Beanie, which I realize is the only reason any of you follow me. Also, bear with me I’m recovering from covid and not feeling completely human yet.

I don’t know how frequently I’ll do this. Definitely not daily (seriously? I think you’d all murder me). Maybe a couple times a month. More if I feel so moved.

Ok let’s get to it!

First up: My next book is coming out Feb 1! ALMOST SURELY DEAD is coming out from Mindy Kaling’s imprint Mindy’s Book Studio! I’m so excited for you all to read this one. It’s definitely my most personal and it has jinn. And murder. And suspense! Ahhh! Look at that cover!!

You can pre-order at Amazon or Bookshop.org or at your local bookstore! Stay tuned for events around the launch.


That’s enough work stuff, onto beauty. You know I love a good face peel. From TCA to Glycolic I live to rip layers off my face. And it just so happens my absolute favorite peel is currently on sale. The Shani Darden Triple Acid Signature Peel is 20% off during the friends and family sale. Y’all, this peel takes layers off. It’s so good. It’s not as intense as an in-office tca peel. You won’t have downtime, no skin peeling off like you were just in a biohazard accident. But your skin will look and feel amazing. It has 8 little peel packets, one tube of a clay mask, and a brush—so fancy. It’s painless except the moment you add the clay to it you will feel two seconds of fire. And then done. I use it on my face, neck, chest, and hands—all from one of the packets. I’m not getting any affiliated revenue from this, it’s just that good, go buy it.

Buy now. Regular price $125, currently 20% off at Shani’s site.


And now, what you’ve all been waiting for: Bean.
