Hello, my lovelies! How was your Thanksgiving? I am super pleased to announce that my turkey was a raging success! (A few people asked me how I got it so juicy and the answer, in short, is: 1) Brining; 2) Buttering under the skin; 3) Basting with maple syrup/cornstarch; 4) Roasting breast-side down until the last hour so the breast would stay moist; 5) Starting at 475 for 30 minutes and then turning the temperature down to 300 for the remainder; 5) Wrapping the turkey in tin foil for an hour after removing from the oven, which gave it an extra bit of steaming in its own juices.) Clearly I’m a bit anal, as the past 3 weeks have now seen FIVE turkeys emerge from Kitchen Jolie. I am ready for my turkey high school diploma–and don’t want to even look at another bird for at least a year.

In big beauty news: Prescriptives has relaunched! Back in 2009, Prescriptives went under, but earlier this week they announced that they’ll find a new permanent lease online at Prescriptives.com. I’ve actually been sitting on this information for over a year (after having a phone call with an Estee Lauder exec back in 2010), so I’m happy that they followed my advice! (I mean, sure, there were probably many other, more important people involved in this decision–but I’ll just enjoy my delusion that it was all Jolie’s sage advice that pushed them over the edge, m’kay?)

I've tried to find out who makes Pippa's cute white coat, but have so far been unsuccessful...

And, finally, in royal news, Pippa Middleton went ice skating, and Prince Harry hung out in Beverly Hills at the SLS Hotel.
