I just wanted to write a quick update and let you all know what's going on. My mom was admitted to the hospital on Thursday evening and she's still there--we don't know how serious the situation is, so needless to say I've been practically living at the hospital these past two days.
As many of you know, my dad was very recently in the hospital for major surgery (he's barely recovered) so the current situation with my mom is incredibly difficult for all of us. I honestly don't know what's going on yet, nor do I know when I'll be able to get back to blogging on regular basis.
Until then, please forgive me for all of the unanswered emails, tweets, etc. I never fully caught up after my dad was in the hospital, so I don't expect to be ever fully catch up on my email at this point. It's obviously not a priority for me right now and I just hope you understand that I'll do my best to respond to you as time permits.
As soon as I know more, I'll post an update. Until then, please know that there will be no weekly drugstore makeup sale post this week, and everything has been put on hold for the immediate time being.
Thanks so much for your support and understanding, and I hope you all have a safe, healthy and happy new year.
G. xo
PS: I really, truly hope to be back very soon, and I thank you in advance for any warm thoughts you can send my way for family at this time.

G, I saw what the rude people are saying on your twitter and I'm ashamed to say that the thought has crossed my mind, "I can always count on G to have several posts to check out." It's one of the reasons I love NC so much. They aren't taking a step back, and thinking about what they are saying, and realizing that you are a real person with a real life that comes first. With most media we never think about the writers, editors, etc. but if anything happens to any one person there are others to cover. Here it's a one woman show!
Hope your mom is doing much better and will be home soon. Still have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Sending lots of love & positive thoughts your way! I hope everything gets better soon for you, G. <3
I hope everything is okay. My thoughts and best wishes for you and your family. Hang in there.
