To hell with new year resolutions, vision boards (even though I have one :P), and everything else that falls in this “new” year frenzy.
Here are some serious blessings I’m sending out, from the pitch black bottom of my Grinch heart.

May you always find the perfect shade of foundation.

May you eat a chocolate withouth guilt-filling.

Basically
may you live a 2016 with some goddamn, well deserved, daily little fairy luck.
