Today’s a pretty cool day — Emma Phipps for Allure profiled Temptalia (well, I guess me — I so often think in terms of “we” and hesitate to say “I” or “me”), which is certainly a milestone moment for anyone in the beauty industry given the long history of Allure in the space. At times, it was hard for me to believe those words were about me and what Temptalia has become in the community!

I’m so taken aback by the comments I’ve received through social media today that by the time I sat down at my desk (LOL, I was in the middle of swatching/photographing when everything went live this morning!) to share this with readers on the blog, I’m almost at a loss of words. I’m overwhelmed by your kind comments and ongoing support.

Thank you so much: the support I’ve received from readers is responsible for the longevity of Temptalia, and it has transformed the trajectory of not just my life, but the people (and dog) nearest and dearest to my heart. There is no other way to repay that support than by doing the best that I can to live up to the thoughtful words so many of you have directed my way.  Thank you!
