I was super excited when @maracsantilli asked me to write the @womenshealthmag 2021 Beauty Awards this year! There is SO MUCH work that goes into these beauty awards at every magazine, and Iām proud to have contributed to the best of the best. Thank you for the opp Mara, @kristinarodulfo, @chelseatraberburns, and the rest of the amazing WHM team! ā¤ļøšš Pick up a copy of the May 2021 issue to read the full story! 
I told myself that I wasnāt going to post a big dramatic caption about me getting the vax, but then I remembered that Iām a writer, and itās in my writerly DNA to be dramatic. Iām not even really sure what I want to say, other than I canāt believe we made it through this yearāmy heart goes out to those who have lost someone to COVID. In mid Feb 2020, my mom told me to go get $1K out of the ATM and stash it under my mattress because a virus was coming to the US. She also told me to finally get another nebulizer (not sure what happened to my old one) from my doc for my asthma, something Iād been putting off for years and āapparently COVID-19 can affect your lungs.ā ā©to March 2020, weāre in lockdown, and the CDC says asthmatics are at high risk of potential death from COVID-19. Iā¦FREAKED THE FUCK OUT. I called my new MA doctor and told her I needed a nebulizer and albuterol for the neb, and she told me, āthese are reserved for children and the elderly and w/o a formal diagnosis of asthma, this isnāt possible.ā This was after she had already refilled my inhaler Rx 2 months prior. To not have access to a neb was terrifying, and Iām still resentful of my doc for that whole situation tbh. Thankfully, my angel mom purchased a neb for me from a sketchy website and sent me expired liquid albuterol to put into the nebulizer jic. I will never forget the fear I felt those first few months of quarantine. Fear of the unknown is incredibly powerful. This past year has been such a blur. All I remember is that I chose a thriving ant farm over a quarantine puppy, @celiashatzman told me I had adopted a new journalist beat (the beat was crying), and I experienced that physically-canāt-get-out-of-bed depression for the first time. Iāve learned that if I can make it through a global pandemic, I can probably make it through anything. This vax is so much more than protection against COVID. Itās optimism. Itās joy. Itās community. Itās hugs. Itās sharing meals and accidentally touching forks without fear. Itās the life that COVID stole from me that I am ready to have back, thanks. And yes, you read that correctly. My legal first name is Elizabeth. I donāt wanna hear it! 
You better believe I brought my clubbing pleather pants to the middle of the woods! šš»// šø: @jricevuto
