Every day I opened and closed this journal; saw it deskside or within my bag, always\u2014and yet I never grew tired of it. Instead, there was a sense of urgency for more. Azalea brightened. It inspired. By a stroke of auspicious timing, I came to acquire the most beautiful magenta writing folder and diary from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=Mara+collection+smythson&amp;oq=Mara+collection+smythson&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57.4697j0j9&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8\">Smythson&#8217;s Mara collection<\/a><\/strong>&#8230; and I started writing again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Never disclosed was how owning such special pieces would lead to a search for stationery that would be worthy of such elegance. I&#8217;m loyal to my Leuchtturm 1917 hard-bound notebooks (dotted, A5), but this affliction led me to\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clairefontaine.com\/?langue=en\">Clairefontaine notebooks<\/a><\/strong>, whose pages are a dream to write in. The paper is simply incomparable. Delicious. Divine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And as I write, my perfume would infuse with the paper. Some mix of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Kuumba-Persian-Garden-Fragrance-packaging\/dp\/B00LLYCYIU\"><strong>Persian Garden<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3kwD5NF\"><strong>Philosykos<\/strong><\/a>\u2014a green yet milky fig and Egyptian musk blend of my own concoction\u2014would trail across the bottom half of each page. Scent memory, they say, is potent; is this the fragrance people will come to think of as\u00a0<em>me<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Or will they remember me as the girl who loved a beautiful handbag? I&#8217;ve always harbored a <a href=\"http:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/tag\/bag-whore\/\">predilection for them<\/a>, but this was the year I came to own dream pieces I never thought possible. Hard work was involved, of course, and coupled with fortuitous timing (ah, a resounding theme of the year), stumbled upon two vintage finds of the century. These became the indulgent, decadent celebrations of a year I both hated and loved. (But also because I&#8217;m a firm believer that your things deserve a beautiful home.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bags are a flag, a symbol of <a href=\"http:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/grwm-monday-mornings-feat-glossier-rms\/\">who we are<\/a>. Why that bag? What secrets does she hold?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In mine, always a pen and a book. 2018 was the year I read again. Purchased books, mostly secondhand, with fervor, feverishly.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Place-Us-Fatima-Farheen-Mirza\/dp\/1524763551\"><strong><em>A Place for Us<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0enraptured me; it was the best novel I read in years.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/crazy-rich-asians-movie-book\/\"><em><strong>Crazy Rich Asians<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0(the book, but also the film) affected me in more ways than I can articulate. I devoured those and more towards the last half the year, not coincidentally post-LASIK. Both the procedure and recovery process were incredibly difficult for me\u2014and though I hesitate recommending it, I&#8217;d be remiss not to remind myself of the positives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It changed how I saw.\u00a0<em>Literally<\/em>.

I missed looking &#8220;feminine,&#8221; (lashes being one of many defining characteristics reinforced by pop culture)\u2014and worse, ashamed for wanting those things despite knowing it was all farce. I had long outgrown my dependency on makeup to feel presentable but never realized just how much I was still attached to mascara. How the weight of the world seemed to sit on one step, one product&#8217;s shoulders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two weeks without eye makeup was what was recommended. Yet I went one month without\u2014in part out of paranoia (my eyes were bloodied and bruised for much longer than the average) but also as a conscious effort to shift my own worldview on a thing as small (but significant) as equating lengthy lashes to desirability. In those 30-odd days, I relearned my face as it was; I didn\u2019t even think of it as \u201cdevoid of\u201d something. My face just\u00a0<i>is<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That was when I felt ready to try mascara again.
