You know when you’re having a good brow day? The right thing to do is to take a pic, so when your favorite Anastasia brow pencil suddenly and mysteriously disappears, you have a reminder of how your brows looked before your world was suddenly turned upside down. LOL! 🤣
I’m not sure what happened to my pencil, but I think Rosie may have found it and swatted it into same black hole where all my hair ties go.
I’ve gone to two full days of back-to-back meetings with ghost brows because I haven’t had the chance to swing by Ulta to grab another one. It’s definitely on my list of things to do today!
Happy Saturday to ya. 🙂

- Well, this lipstick organizer looks pretty cool!
- Scientists from my alma mater are looking for U.S. volunteers who are owned by a cat!
- Speaking of cats, Pedalpalooza Cat Ride in Portland looks like fun, although I’m pretty sure Rosie would hate it. LOL!
Talk to me!
I need this.
Someone please make this for me!
*THE* Trader Joe’s sunscreen!!!
Interesting.
Gorgeous!
I hope your day off to a good start. What are you up to this weekend?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Nope. No more TikTok trends. We’re done. Can’t do anything else.
Okay, now that I’m less appalled, and honestly I think I’m going to reassure myself by putting a dab of real perfume on, I do love your Saturday Surfing posts. So far this weekend I’m laying around, doing some budgeting, and might take a cat for a walk later but I have no real plans. Tomorrow though I might watch Lizzo’s reality show with a friend.
That sounds like a wonderful weekend, SJ!
I loooove that TedTalk. It’s so true! I have a closet full of clothes that I don’t wear and it’s so pointless. Now, going through my twin girls’ clothes, I find it even more pointless to have so many clothes for them. They don’t care what they’re wearing! And would I rather spend time going though and organizing their stuff or spend more time with them?! Having babies makes it pretty clear how you want to spend your time!
Definitely. Time becomes so much more precious! Enjoy those two little ones while they are still teeny tiny. 🙂
Cats are so funny with what they want to play with. So fickle when it comes to training, too. Nibbler knows she’s not allowed in the bedroom and even with the door open will sit in the hallway until I come out in the morning. No matter how much I’ve tried to train her I can’t keep her off the kitchen counters or the dining table. Sigh.

I use a combination of these storage drawers from Muji for my makeup and brushes. The fatter two drawer stores my fatter powder and cheek brushes. The five drawer one holds my pencils and skinny brushes. I also have one five drawer unit just for lipsticks. It’s holding well over a hundred tubes. (Please don’t judge. Lipstick has always been my favorite beauty item.) I have them sorted by brand so they fit in more compactly. Nora couldn’t get into them and there was the added benefit of my brushes being dust free.
My guess is that if you stow away the things you don’t want Rosie to play with, she’ll probably find something else to bat around until it disappears into the nether world. Because there’s always something with cats.
Ooh, thank you so much for these recommendations!
Karen,
I love your hair and the grey in it. 🙂
Aww, thanks Syahidah! I go back and forth about it.
These cakes look divine, I could need one right now. I spend my Saturdayshopping for school supplies for my youngest (when did he get so big?) and the evening at a dance festival (on stage!)
It was fun, but also emotionally exhausting. Off to watch the TED talk (and probably rearrange my closet afterwards).
I don’t think I’ve ever been as sorry to click a link as I am now, thanks to the TikTok trends. HAHA! I am just getting SO old. Though I am kind of laughing about what kind of ridiculous fragrance ad could be made with this concept.
Btw, that’s a fabulous pic of you – and I think your brows look lovely. 🙂
