I’m going running this morning, for the first time in two weeks (I’ve been having some trouble with my hip, so my internist gave me six days of Prednisone and told me to rest — it seems to have worked). I’ve missed running, but I’m a little nervous about getting back into it. As always, I’m hoping I don’t die.
Here are a few of my favorite things from around the Internet this week:
I don’t typically talk about politics, but this week at iVillage I shared my thoughts on women politicians and their style choices.
What do you do with all those Instagram photos? Make a photo wall. Love.
Yarn animals are back. I want the blue pony for my desk.
Valentine’s Day is coming — skip the Scooby Doo cards and make 3-D Valentines for the kids to hand out.
What’s the next best thing to having Allison actually do your makeup? Her tips sheet. Excellent.
Now that your makeup is perfect, let’s talk about your hair; specifically, how to create loose waves.
Style inspiration at Alt Summit.
One last Alt recap, all in photos, by the truly amazing Justin Hackworth.

How odd; the running injury that plagued me from last May until just a bit ago was a hip problem–for which I also took 6 days of prednisone (among many other things!) at one point. I also ended up having 2 cortisone injections. (This was noteworthy b/c I have a crush on my sports medicine doc and he had to give me 2 shots in my rear. So not fun.)
In the end, it is finally going away but it has been really ridiculous. I truly hope (and am quite sure) your situation is not nearly as complicated and recalcitrant as mine. I just thought it was a strange coincidence.
I will be purchasing L’Oreal Studio Secrets make-up primer today!
