Chances are, as you read this, I’m running up or down the stadium stairs in San Francisco at Oracle Park. Or, I’m passed out on the ground from doing one too many burpees.
?
The Spartan race I signed up for a while back is happening today, so I’ll be getting my sweat on with my HIIT buddies from the gym.
But before I go do that, let’s do this. It’s Saturday Surfing time. ?
- The dos and don’ts of mixing skincare ingredients
- If you live near San Diego, the Oceanside Museum of Art currently has an exhibit called “Tiny Canvases: The Art of Nails,” which explores the history of nail adornment dating back to 3200 B.C. (!)
- Who else is watching the new season of The Crown on Netflix? If you’re just as fascinated by the British Royal family as I am, then you may be interested to hear that, according to the queen’s royal dressmaker, Angela Kelly, the queen does her own makeup every day of the year except for one — the day she records her annual Christmas speech.
- There’s a new trailer for the Cats movie, and yes…it’s still totally weird. ?
- Will you be in/around NYC from next May to October? If so, you might want to check out the Makeup Museum. The first exhibit is called “Pink Jungle: 1950s Makeup in America” and will explore the history of makeup, as seen through the beauty cabinets of glam stars, including Monroe, Garbo and Audrey Hepburn.
- According to Cosmo, this is how to cut your hair without totally effing it up, and all I have to say that is…where the heck was this article when I was 15 and cut my hair in the middle of the night?!
- Speaking of hair, scientists have developed a new method of DNA identification that only requires a single strand.
This is what I’m doing today!
Here’s to hoping I make it back home in one piece, aghhhh!
So nervous…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Nerves are good. You’re going to kill it. Have fun!!
Go Karen…Go!!
Just started Season 3 of the Crown .
I had to adjust not having Claire Foy in the Regal Roll .
So the Queen does her own makeup ?
Just lipstick right ?
Not sure of Helena Botham as Margaret either ??
But overall the Crown is a true learning experience.
I can’t imagine that many people serving me throughout the day .
I also find myself breaking into a British Accent abruptly.
I’ve never watched The Crown. Dear Daughter watches it and tells me how good it is. I’m lazy about TV and just watch what Dear Husband is watching or walk out of the room. The only thing I tend to set the DVR for is Warriors basketball.
How was your Spartan race? Dear Daughter is racing tomorrow (Sunday).
Are you thinking of doing the tri-fecta now?
So tell us how it went! Are you exhausted and sore? I am. I took every single thing (except large appliances!) out of our kitchen so that I could rearrange, then started putting it back together.
I might have binge-watched all of season 3 of The Crown within the first 24 hours it was out. Oops. ? I’m not liking HRH too much right now. She, well, both of them, they are really terrible parents. Just awful. And poor Margaret is a train wreck. I have a lot more sympathy for Prince Charles than I’ve ever had before, though.
I hope your race went well! I did an aerial class yesterday but today ive just been lazt with the cat.
