As you know, Bob, 2020 was a hunka hunka burning dumpster fire of a year.

But, I have a 2021 goal of acknowledging the good things, even when we’re in the midst of a pandemic/social justice crisis/total planet burnout. And you know what? There were good things that happened in 2020. Good things that I’m happy to carry with me into 2021.

Things like Ninja Writers really finding its stride. And the building of a kickass team that I’m so privileged to be able to work with. And — a few products that I found this year that I really loved. (How’s that for a pivot? LOL)

I thought I’d share those products with you today. They made 2020 a little less crappy for me and I’m still using them into 2021.

It occurred to me recently that maybe one upside to the fact that I’ve barely left my house for most of a year is that I’ve saved my skin from all that sun exposure.
