h. pruz sings with a soft, private tenderness that has a little smolder in it, their voice like cotton batting just starting to catch fire. Their songs sidle in from personal reverie, their intimate observations bolstered by clear, unhurried guitar, punching drums, bits of synth and saxophone. The melodies flutter with strong but reticent emotion. You get the sense of absolute honesty delivered in the quietest tones.
h. pruz is Brooklyn-based Hannah Pruzinsky, a principal in the folk-ish duo Sister (with Ceci Sturman) and a primary mover behind the music journal Gunk. They’re close enough to the people in Florist to enlist most of that band in this endeavor. Felix Walworth and Told Slant produced red sky at morning, and Emily Sprague sings and plays synthesizer. Â
The title comes from a bible verse, a relic of Pruzinsky’s church-y east Pennsylvania upbringing, and as you may recall, the complete phrase is “Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.” That means a storm’s ahead, but not that sailors should stay home; rather they’re meant to take precautions, be ready, but still make the trip. In the same way, Pruzinsky says that these songs were intended to capture an overhanging aura of threat and uncertainty, as well as the courage required to face it. And indeed, you can picture them squaring their shoulders, looking at things head on, and forging onward. The songs have a very subtle strength and resilience.
“Arrival,” for instance, takes place within a house, in forced isolation that can’t help but resonate with our shared COVID experience. The floors are talking. A loved one’s face turns up on the TV screen. But instead of claustrophobia Pruzinksky finds a kind of solace, murmuring “Promises start in the house, board up the doors, paradise is found/there is no point where we give out, sure of arriving, sure to stay a while.” Â
The album is good all the way through, but it really picks up in the second half, starting with skeletal “Force.” The song recalls the non-conformist older brother who first gave them an inkling of the world outside their conservative community. In the song, the brother makes a hole in barbed wire fence for his sister, a metaphor, maybe, for how his influence brought them to music and Brooklyn and self-actualization. Â
You’ll hear shades and echoes of other songwriters — Anna Tivel in the lilting melodies and unsparing observation, Cassandra Jenkins in the way that delicate songs are supported, but not overwhelmed, by arrangements. “Krista,” an early single, especially resembles Jenkins in its buoyant backing and whispered spoken word.
In a couple of places, Pruzinsky amps up and lets things wail, and this, too, is an excellent thing. It’s louder then, but not noticeably more intense. Here’s a songwriter who infuses the quietest moments with fiery intent.

Suede Salon, Spa and Body: Patty Leigh Day Talks Lash Extenstions
When meeting someone for the first time, one of the first things that we notice are their eyes, they are said to be the "window to the soul." True inner and outer beauty can be seen by looking into someone's eyes. What makes the eyes so beautiful and alluring? The color, shape and eyelashes. Women have been wearing makeup on their eyes & false eyelashes since the 1900’s and mascara since the time of the Ancient Egyptians. We have come a long way from those days!
The latest trend that the most popular celebrities have been rocking on the red carpet are eyelash extensions. Stars like Kim Kardashian and Beyonce aren’t just naturally blessed with those super thick long lashes. They have lash extensions.
Lash extensions are individual tiny hairs adhered to each one of your lash hairs with a medical grade adhesive. The relaxing service is completely safe and done in the spa with your eyes closed the entire time. Most people fall asleep. With just an hour or two of your time for the first application the lashes last about a month. They will shed gradually with your natural lash hairs or can be touched up after 2-3 weeks by filling in any areas with new lashes.
Lash extensions come in a variety of lengths and thicknesses to customize them to each individual. The lashes look completely natural and are so light weight they feel like nothing is on at all. From very natural to lush and dramatic there is no need for mascara with lash extensions. You can also throw out your eyelash curler, the extensions even come in different styles of curl.
If you want to draw more attention to your eyes without having to put on a lot of makeup or thick mascara, lash extensions are for you!
