My social anxiety has been at an all-time high (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This past week, I attended an event with my beloved extended Caudalie family. It was a beautiful, intimate setting, and from the moment I arrived, I felt calm, warm and welcomed. The days leading up to it? Not so much.

For most of my adult life, I’ve measured around five foot one and three-quarter inches, which I have, naturally, rounded up to five-two.

Laura, who hosted me that day, did the full Premier Cru facial, but as wonderful as the facial itself was, I think I enjoyed the massage even more. I don’t know if anybody else is like this, but I never really relax when I’m getting a massage or having my nails done.
