I STARTED GETTING READY—STILL TIRED, BUT TRYING TO SHAKE OFF THE WEIGHT OF THE DAY. MY BODY WAS ACHING, BUT I PUSHED THROUGH IT. I PICKED OUT MY BLACK BODYCON SHORT ONEPIECE—SIMPLE, SLEEK, AND EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO FEEL A LITTLE MORE IN CONTROL TONIGHT.

I STOOD IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR, THEN MOVED ON TO MY MAKEUP. I KEPT IT CLEAN BUT SHARP—A LITTLE FOUNDATION TO HIDE THE EXHAUSTION, SOME LINER TO BRING MY EYES TO LIFE, AND THEN… LIPSTICK.
