Salutations on this spectacular Saturday! Hi, friend. ?
OK, not-so-serious question for you… Have you discovered the wonder of combining popcorn with a handful of Peanut M&Ms?
Basically, IT IS A REVELATION. It’s my new favorite snack, and I can’t get enough of it. You get the salty popcorn coupled with the sweet chocolate. (Even Connor is obsessed!)
The trick — yes, there’s a trick to maximizing its greatness — is to start with a varietal of popcorn that isn’t too heavily flavored, and is only slightly salty. That way the popcorn-ness doesn’t clash with the candy. ?
I recommend Angie’s Boomchickapop Sea Salt Popcorn, which I get at Target, because it comes in a big bag, so I’m able to just toss a handful into a small bowl when I need something to tide myself over. Plop a few Peanut M&Ms in there, and you’re set.
I have yet to enjoy this delectable delicacy as my breakfast…but I’m tempted to right now. ?

An old-school jam with a new school spin
Oooh!
I love this.
Super pretty
This is totally my style.
It’s been drizzling off and on this entire week, so today we’re going hiking at the Fairway waterfall again to see if it’s a raging river now because of the rain.
I hope it’s raging!
What are your plans this weekend? I hope you’re doing well.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Ironically, we were going to the river today to see how high it was because it’s been raining all week. But since it’s only 41 degrees today, we’re gonna pass, thanks. ?
Yikes, that’s cold! Have a good weekend!
It was so beautiful out today, which is not normal for Michigan this time of year! Hettie, Jiji, and I took a nap under the sunny window in the bedroom and I took Hettie on a nice walk (41 degrees, which is warm for us right now – I didn’t make Hettie wear her coat and I was able to get away with just a hoodie). Someone on our walking route has a beautiful catio and a bunch of Maine Coon cats, and two of them were out today, a tabby colored one and a black one.
We used to do popcorn and m&ms in my old work team! No peanuts because I’m allergic. We also had a snack room at that office, and whenever the chocolate got replenished we’d look out for each other and save the stuff we knew each other liked. Didn’t make up for the terrible aspects of that job though!
It seems like every celebrity has s beauty line now! When will it end?
