Sometimes it’s hard to be excited about Mondays, ya know? It’s easier to get excited about coffee or chocolate or kittens or French fries. Sometimes Mondays, though? Not so much.
But today I feel really good. I feel like I just left the nail salon, and my toes are freshly done (although they aren’t). I don’t know why. I feel like I can handle anything today. I can take on the world!
How are you, my friend? I hope you feel good, and if you don’t right now, I hope you feel better soon. Sending you good thoughts and positive vibes. 🙂
I’m gonna do my best to enjoy the simple pleasures this week. Talk to you soon.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

I really like the blog new look, so fancy and chic. Have a nice Monday Karen!
A pizza with taco ingredients is GENIUS. I’d be on that in a hot second if it had a cornmeal crust. 😀
What is Tanjin?
You know we have pizzas that actually have tacos ingredients but they’re made with the same crust. But in my family we also have our “Mexican pizzas”: we use a bigger homemade tortilla, add grounded black beans, steak, red sauce (tomato sauce), onions, white cheese and sour cream; it’s so delicious.
Tajin is a mix of Mexican chilies, lime juice and sea salt that is powdered and we add to fruits and vegetables. It isn’t completely spicy, if you don’t eat anything with chili you’ll think it’s a little hot but for us it only gives flavor but no spiciness/hotness.

When did you do the new design? I really love it. I could have sworn it was different yesterday.
Recovering from a tenacious cold. Probably would feel physically better if I hadn’t gone to the Warriors game with Dear Husband last night. But when he’s willing to spend for last minute tickets you go, you cheer, you experience it.
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well and I hope you get better soon. Did you have fun at the game though?
You’ve got a good eye! It was different yesterday. 🙂
I thought it was different. I was reading it on my phone before the game. Lol. Thanks for the well wishes. I’d probably get better quicker if I stopped going out. I missed Balanchine at the SF Ballet last Saturday and I’ve been dragging myself out of the house to see stuff since then. Mostly better now. My ears just ache today from the decibel level of the arena during the game.

Good morning Karen! I hope you had a fantastic weekend!
I ran a 5K yesterday and the course was just sooo hard. Full of hills, up and down all the way, with one uphill that was just absurdly steep. I’ve made so much progress in my running lately but with this course it didn’t show, I had to stop and walk up a few of the hills, so I felt really bummed and exhausted… Just too challenging for me I guess!
