Introducing Less of You

Two trips to Spirit Halloween this month, and Eva realizes for the first time in her adult life she can fit into everything instead of eyeing the inflatable dinosaur costume.

Kami is five days into recovery from a balloon sinuplasty and turbinate reduction, and it has been brutal — she’s too congested to wear her CPAP, she can’t use her mouth guard while mouth-breathing all night, and she’s up every hour drinking water. Before any of that came up, though, she showed off three new waist-length hair extension colors, Foxy, Aurora, and Paprika, from Wildcrafted Beauty.

Eva marched a Stephen King-grade demon clown costume up to the register in a store for kids — and when the manager disagreed that it didn’t belong there, she bought $50 Boden sneakers out of spite for the place. Weeks later, her 6-year-old still won't go to the bathroom alone, because in her mind, the clown lives there now.

Eva hadn't budged from 186 for a year and a half — until she stepped on it this week and saw 180, a number she hasn't seen in ages, ice cream summer in Washington included.

Three weeks after her Halo resurfacing, Eva decides to take the opportunity to have a Junera laser treatment, a new technology that treats the skin from within to tighten the face and neck from the inside.
