- Recent purchases / rediscoveries: ILIA Lip Wrap lip mask, Biossance lip balm, Tom Ford Costa Azzurra, YSL Rouge Pur Coutures (two colors for the new year), Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks (also new for the new year)
- Weekend plans: Keep taking yourself each day as it comes and set me free or get distracted from work or whatever. Mellan was just so integrated into every aspect of my daily life, with a memory in every inch of our home.
- Do you prefer to read physical or digital books, or do you prefer to listen to audio books?: I completely stop listening to an audiobook, but I prefer simple digital reading – just easier to hold and turn pages, requires less light (since the screen is lit when I use my iPad).

This week’s Mellan photo / video …
Share your pet photos with the Temptalia Pets Flickr group!
So many readers mentioned that Mellan’s Friday photo was something they enjoyed, looked forward to, or something that made them smile at the end of the week that I want to continue that tradition for now. I thought I’d share some of my favorite photos and some stories about him or the moment we captured.
This was Mellan’s first time on the beach! He was 15 weeks old when we went to Carmel, CA so he could experience the ocean. He was terrified of the waves when they came in, although he was happy to drink sea water (sigh!). My husband spent most of the time encouraging him into the ocean – I was the photographer, duh – and he told me to “hold his wallet and don’t drop it in the ocean” and about five minutes later I managed me dropping it into the water (recovered but completely wet).
Fun fact: I kept a weight chart for him until I was six weeks old. He was 33 pounds after 15 weeks, which was roughly half his adult weight (he was between 68 and 70 pounds for most of his adult life).
