Hey, friend. TGIF and happy FRI-YAY!
No joke, I could crawl into bed right now and sleep for three days straight. My deadlines haven’t been playin’ lately! I’m so glad we made it to the end of the week.
Last week I mentioned last week I was going to buy myself a gift for my b-day. I ended up with a Kelty Cabana shade tent, a 100% spur-of-the-moment purchase from our local sporting goods store, Sports Basement.
I can safely say this is the first time I’ve bought outdoor equipment for myself on my birthday, LOL! You know what, though? I’ve always wanted a shade tent for the beach and for camping, and I’m so glad I finally did it. This one is relatively simple to assemble and pack, too. I think with practice, I can easily do it myself.
As you can see, Connor loves it! I can’t wait to take it on all our outdoor adventures this summer.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a birthday without a few beauty products. I’m still on a big hair kick, so to maximize volume and add moisture to my mane, I bought Bumble and Bumble’s Invisible Oil Shampoo and Conditioner for dry hair. Both contain six lightweight oils to hydrate, detangle and reduce frizz (among other things). I also grabbed a bottle of Alterna Caviar Foam Conditioner to use as a co-wash.
I’m currently on a Chanel kick, which seems to happen a few times a year, especially in the summer, go figure.
In these pics, I’m wearing the go-to Chanel makeup “uniform” I’ve been rocking all week: Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation (SO GOOD) on my skin; Les Beiges Cream Blushes in No. 22 and No. 20 layered together on my cheeks; and Electric Brown Eyeshadow-Liner-Khol topped with Liquid Eyeshadow in Desert Wind on my eyes. I’ll try to take more pictures soon to give you a better idea of the colors and textures, however I can safely say these pieces look great in-life and in phone selfies! Super easy to use, too.
And, oh my gosh, last but not certainly not least, I’ve gotta give a shout-out to the Warriors, aka the 2022 NBA Champions.
Did you watch the game last night? I had absolutely NO CHILL until the last two minutes, LOL!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Good purchase for some summer fun. Myself, I can’t put up a tent on my own unless it includes the equivalent of “tent viagra”, otherwise I’m just wrestling with it.
LOVE the Desert Wind color which I bought after you last had it on your blog. I usually pair it with the Quartz Rose shade in the same formula. Always been a Chanel fan!
This shade tent was surprisingly not too difficult. I bet you could do it, as long as it wasn’t too windy. LOL!
Yes!! Go dubs!! So happy and proud of this team, everyone is so likable and easy to root for :). Totally know what you mean, the last two minutes were such a relief — and I’m so happy for Steph!
Happy belated birthday Karen! Thanks for all you do; I normally don’t comment but love reading your blog. It really stands out Vs the rest of the blogs out there because it’s so fun and full of personality! Your blog brightens my day. Keep being you 🤗
Yay for outdoor purchases! We are just returning from a week spent outdoors and it is amazing what it does for the mind.
I was in tears during the last 3 minutes for I can smell the victory! Cried more when I saw Steph cry 😭
