Happy Caturday from this ball of lurvies, also known as PGR, also known as Pretty Girl Rosie, although, let’s get real… This lap cat isn’t just about laps. If there’s any space available on any of your body parts, she’ll hold you hostage snuggle with you for as long as your bladder will allow.
In fact, if she had her way, she would have a human available 24/7 for the sole purpose of cuddling.
I don’t mind playing the part of her cat bed this weekend because I’m still recovering from last weekend’s birthday festivities. It’s funny; I was chatting with one of the moms in the comments about how wiped out we feel after birthdays for kids, and we both agreed that our dudes don’t realize how much work goes into them. I mean, yeah, I could’ve ordered a lasagna from a restaurant or bought cupcakes from the bakery, and El Hub and Connor Claire would have probably been totally fine with that, but ya know…when someone makes you a lasagna, that’s love ❤️ right there. That’s time and energy. That’s a belly full of home-cooked food and leftovers for days.
Anywho, there will be a whole lot of recovery happening this weekend, and I intend to spend some of it with Rosie-Pose on this couch.
Now, onto this week’s reading! — which I recommend that you do with a cat on your lap. ?
- This couple’s kitty loves laps so much that they made her a “fake lap” to cuddle with when they’re not around.
- Maybe she’s born with it, or maybe it’s semi-permanent makeup.
- Is DevaCurl the reason why thousands of women are losing their hair?
- What’s the difference between gel extensions and acrylic nails, and how do you decide which one’s for you?
- The new Hermès makeup line, La Beauté Hermès, consists of a line of $68 (!) lipsticks available in 24 shades.
- Looks like Barbie is making her way back to MAC, this time in a tube of bubblegum pink lipstick.
- Teens have discovered anti-aging skin care…and all I have to say to that is 1) *sigh* and 2) it was only a matter of time.
- Speaking of skin care, Reddit has a lot to say about skin care for the over-30 set.
- I can’t handle shows that have anything to do with true crime (don’t have the stomach for it), but if you love ’em AND you happen to love home design, there’s a new show coming out in April about flipping houses where murders have taken place. It’s called Murder House Flip, and no, I’m not making this sh*t up.
- One of my favorite books as a tween was Judy Blume’s Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret, and it’s finally being made into a movie.
- Next stop: Mars!
Meet the world’s youngest astronaut-in-training, Alyssa Carson.
Somebody please make this for me ASAP.
Cute! This looks easy enough (famous last words).
Seriously, Charlotte is everything. Do you want to try this look with me this weekend?
What’s the plan for the rest of your Caturday, my friend?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Cupcake Jemma and Charlotte Tilbury are two of my heroes!
Aww! What an adorable, snuggly kitty! Nora was NOT like that in any way, shape or form until the very end when I think she was trying to let me know how miserable she felt. Enjoy the snuggling!
Pretty Girl Rosie!! <3 I took a really nice afternoon nap with Jiji today, but he likes to nap in between my legs, so I was laying down almost like a starfish.
OMG that kitty with the fake lap is so cute. One of the reasons the stray cat Angus came inside to live with my parents (besides my dad just being a softie) is the other two cats don't like sitting on my dad's bony legs, and Angus loves it. My parents live kind of in the middle of the woods, and people just dump kitties and animals, but Angus and Lady Higgins were two non-ferals that started hanging out. There are some true ferals too that my parents help feed.
Re: skin after 30. I'm going to ask my doctor at my physical on Monday about going to a derm. I'm pretty sure I have rosacea – some level of constant redness, broken capillaries, and weird flushing incidents. I'm a fair-skinned ginger, so not hugely surprising.
I worry about teens and kids being so self conscious about their faces so young. I have a lot of little cousins, and I don't want them to go through that, being in the spotlight so much with social media.
I was wondering when the Barbie x Mac lipstick would arrive in North America. I will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the info!
Those Hermes lipsticks look gorgeous. I hope they’re available at Sephora or another retailer easily accessible to Canada.
Oh yikes at DevaCurl. I’ll have to pass this info along.
Enjoy your weekend and happy belated birthday to your daughter!
You have a gift for attracting the kitties with the most personality! Rosie is a doll!
I caved and ordered the Hermes lipstick. I love the case, and its refillable. I’m still trying to rationalize spending that much on a lipstick. Hopefully it lives up to the hype!
Glad you survived the birthday festivities. You made memories 🙂
Awww, PGR is a sweetie pie! Nothing like some kitty snuggles. 🙂 I’m sure Connor will appreciate every minute you spend on per homemade birthday treats, even if it doesn’t seem to make a difference to her now.
I was reorganizing the bathroom closet and found a nearly empty bottle of Deva Curl styling gel. I’ve been using it for a week just to finish it off. Hopefully it won’t have any negative effects!
