As a member of the Navajo Nation, it is in Nancy Novak’s ancestry to walk in beauty. Her own walk brought her from a Midwestern upbringing in Ohio to fledgling adulthood on the fashion forward streets of Manhattan to now, actual adulthood amongst the natural, relaxed trails of Colorado. She is a writer (who after a stint at Cornell University’s Weill Medical College accidentally ended up a pediatrician) with a penchant for all things beautiful. That means you. And often make-up.
In an ideal world she would spend her time petting kittens while reading novels inside Sephora, but writing this column is pretty much the next best thing.
