Though your K’s all for hustling hard and high, if between now and January 1^st, trying to reshape your hourglass into a Parisian Hilton body, you learned to  preface “goals” with “reasonable,” we can start petite, love.

Instead of donning a solid red outfit  for lucky vibes and vibing hot, go ahead and —

“Paint your nails a slick deep red with Chanel Le Vernis,” says ThisNexter I Love Second Hand Smoke, “[which is] only the best.”
