Good morning! Deep breath in… Deep breath out… STRETCH. It’s early here so I’m still waking up. I’ve been literally tossing myself out of bed at the crack of dawn on Saturdays and Sundays for a couple weeks, which I’ve never done willingly in my life. My body loves to sleep in if given the chance, but when I get up early, it makes it easier to squeeze in a workout and some reading.
Do I miss the extra REM cycles? Yeah, a little… I’m still not a morning person AT ALL, but I can masquerade as one. It’s like one of those ’90s commercials for Barbizon modeling schools. “Be a model. Or…just look like one!” I’m not a morning person. I just look like one.
On that note, I hope your Saturday has been productive so far! Your reading for the week…

I think it’s interesting that the scientists who work with the AI refer to the program as female, since historically men have held the top positions as “noses” for the big brands.

I’m not crying; you’re crying.
This is a good mix for cleaning your house on the weekend.
OK, time for a quick walk around the neighborhood in my pajamas (yes, I’m that person). Have a wonderful weekend and a fab first day of June. ?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Hi Karen,
Good to know that being a crazy cat lady is good for my health! (I have a tuxedo cat). Have a great weekend!
Marcia
Haha I loved that cat video. Adorable. And interesting! But come on, the owners locked the poor cat out, WTH. LOL.
Sorry Karen, I’m a Raptors girl!
Gotta send the link on being a crazy cat lady to my husband so I can try to bring one home. I saw some socks the other day that said “The future is feline” that I really liked (but they were $11 so I didn’t buy them LOL)
LOL @ the LSU baseball team! Back when VS still had shampoo my husband would use my VS shampoo and conditioner and he got tons of compliments.
I’m kind of curious to put a camera on Jiji but I’m pretty sure he sleeps most of the day and I know most of his hiding spots.
I’m the queen of Dawn dish soap for any grease stain on clothes. I definitely think it’s the best solution.
