i came across this fantastic website today, the book cover archive, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: a website dedicated to great book cover designs. i’ve found a lot of really great covers already that i plan on saving as reference and inspiration and i figured you guys would also appreciate it. i also just saw that you can subscribe via RSS - just scroll all the way down to the bottom of the home page.

 

i am so unbelievably excited to announce that i had the amazing opportunity to partner with NARS cosmetics this past month in order to help launch their new collection of satin lip pencils. long time readers know that i am a big, big fan of NARS and that i have consistently been recommending many of their products over the years. when they approached me i knew immediately that it was a perfect and organic fit. 

in honor of the new year, i wanted to pause for a moment and extend my deepest gratitude to all of you for your overwhelming support and encouragement. over the last year, veanad has surpassed my wildest expectations in every way possible. this year alone, i have been fortunate enough to experience a handful of amazing milestones that i am incredibly grateful for; ones that i have never even thought were possible. i am excited for the possibility of what lies ahead and hope that you will continue along this adventure with me. thank you for everything!

wishing you all a happy and healthy new year,
danaë

so sorry for the disappearing act these past few weeks. i’d be remiss if i didn’t admit that these last few months have been surprisingly difficult for a number of reasons. perhaps the biggest culprit for my absence has been my health - a trip to the hospital a little bit over a week ago has necessitated that i focus on getting back on my feet before being able to think about things like school and blogging.
