After Hours: Issue #22

warning: goths on the beach

Feb 27, 2026

Oh hi, didn’t see you there, I was too busy building a vision board heavily featuring Alysa Liu, our lord and savior. The girl has got it figured out: cool hair, sick piercing, and doing something for the pure joy of it and showing it off Leo style (yes she’s obviously a Leo)!? This is the energy we want for Spring 2026. LFG.

In Aliza News, she returned from Miami and decided to bring a blizzard just for funsies! She has sworn to us that she is never going to declare that she is having a Winter Renaissance again. She clearly manifested a little too close to the sun. And by that we mean snow. And ice. Our new plan is to pretend winter isn’t wintering. We’re talking bronzer, Spindrift Mojito flavor and only watching The O.C. That will make it go away right???

In navigating the unpredictability of Eclipse Season (which has hit our girl hardddd), Aliza continues to use her Lake & Skye fragrances to find both grounding and inspiration. By now, you should know that Aliza identifies as a “fragrance freak” (love this for her), and she’s become obsessed with Lake & Skye’s 11 11 Moon — but now she tells us she’s also layering with 11 11 Lychee, which adds this beautiful burst of brightness to the mix? We can’t wait to try.

Yesterday, Mercury Retrograde began and this one is going to be an especially challenging one. So uh that’s awesome! This is because it is also coinciding with the upcoming Lunar Eclipse — the last eclipse of the season (praise be)! We behoove you to expect the usual chaos. Exes coming back. Sending a dick pic to your boss. Accidentally gluing your eyelids shut. Sorry the fact that this happened on The Pitt and Love is Blind in the same two week period rocked my world.

Wanna get your witchy toolbelt prepared and find out what it all means for you (hot)? Well you’re in luck girlypop, our next Coven Meeting is Monday, March 2 at 8PM EST! RSVP here :)

And finally, we’ve got a sweet treat for you all to get you through these cold pre-Spring Equinox weeks. Aliza has something very exciting launching next week…something that will be multiple days, in a mystical location, and a gorgeous communal experience…any guess what it could be? Stay tuned.
