I can’t believe I’m saying this (happy Saturday, by the way), but I don’t remember the last time I wore bright blue mascara. As a beauty lover, this is one of those details that I can usually recall with obnoxious clarity, but as you know…it’s been cray! I’m hoping, though, that this gloriously blue ColourPop Mascara will guide me to a similar (or perhaps even a better) place where I’m excited about wearing makeup again.
As they say, baby steps. Would you believe that last Thursday I actually left the house with filled in brows, cat eye liner *and* waterproof mascara? I know! The tinted sunscreen I’ve been wearing finally had some makeup friends to play with, LOL!
What do you have planned today? I’m gonna take it pretty easy on this end. I’m replanting the tomato plants, basil and the hot pink hibiscus I got last weekend, and oh! — my brother got me an air fryer for my birthday, so I’m going to experiment with it today. The one I have is by Innsky and it’s huge! It’s one my brother has and loves, so even though right now I can’t really tell if I’m using correctly, I’m hoping to become one of those people who says, “I LOOOOOVE MY AIR FRYER.”
Last night I made broccoli and salmon in it, and they weren’t terrible, so I’m looking forward to seeing what magic I can do…
Side note: it has a cake setting, which I’m both weirded out by and fascinated by.
If you have any good air fryer recipes, please feel free to share them! 🙂
This week’s reading
- I really enjoyed this in-depth story on the founder of Nyx, Toni Ko.
- J. Lo’s boo has a men’s makeup line.
- “Soft sculpting.” It’s a thing.
- If you’re going to be in the Bay Area this summer, FYI, there are outdoor concerts happening at Stern Grove.
- I think Rosie needs this cat computer to do calculations!
Yes, please.
Drop that knowledge.
When you can’t look away…
I still love this show.
Exfoliate me.
B-b-b-bennie and the jets
Need this in my tum ASAP.
Fun fact: Rosie is the most talkative cat I’ve ever lived with.
This looks fun.
That lip!
Oui!
Have a great rest of your day, and take extra good care of yourself, OK?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

That cat computer/scratching pad is genius! Nora would have loved it in so many ways, especially if they put a heating pad in it that made it as warm as my laptop.
Thanks for posting the link about Toni Ko and NYX cosmetics. I always wondered who created that line of affordable, very good makeup.
I love my air fryer. It’s so much healthier and in the summer it keeps you from having to heat up your oven. Some of my favorite recipes are from the Blue Jean Chef. She also has a Facebook group. https://bluejeanchef.com/

Rosie DEFINITELY needs the computer. It will definitely support her research. Good luck with the air fryer!
Would be interested to hear if you find any good recipes for the air fryer – so far I just use mine for hot chips! So much easier than the deep fryer, maybe not quite the flavour but definitely less mess and hassle.
