(Drum beat.)
For the past few months, I’ve been seeing these ads for this new invention called SPINLASH. I’ll be honest, I’ve been thus far too scared of myself, and my inherent klutzdom, to try it.

You are about to enter a time-machine to Aly-dom.
As you are reading this, I am on a press trip in Los Angeles, and probably having a lot of fun – but as I’m WRITING this – I’m super stressed out trying to get done with my projects before heading out.
I’m not sleeping enough, and working wayyyy too many hours each day, and thus, my eyes are making me look sort of like an afterschool special. On top of all that, we are minutes away from a decision in the biggest – and scariest – election in recent memory!
Clearly, I need …read more
