In case you need to reach me, I’ll be at the Michaels in San Rafael, California, because apparently I live there now! ?
What is it about craft items I technically don’t need but desperately want? — like this Golden Girls cross stitch kit?! Never you mind that I’ve never stitched a cross in my life (?), but I want it anyway.
I’m going again later today to get some frosting tips and bags so I can practice piping cupcakes this weekend. Maybe some more cookie cutters, too, if I find some cute ones.
How about you? What are you up to?
Do you have a few minutes? Because here are some stories that caught my eye this week…
- Everything you ever needed to know about eyebrow extensions (yup, you read that correctly)
- Aaaaaand in this week’s edition of “Celebs Releasing Beauty Brands,” pop singer Kesha has a colorful new vegan makeup line.
- The ultimate starter kit for men ? who are interested in wearing makeup but don’t know where to start
- Can you tell if your eye makeup is actually eye-safe?
- The mysterious black cat who stole the show during a Monday Night Football game is still on the loose!
- Super important question —> Is Quilty the cat ? an escape artist or a criminal mastermind?
- This famous photographer reveals why David Bowie wore red lipstick. (Side note: I wonder if he wore a matching lip liner, too?)
You’re too cool, Cher!
How pretty are these cupcakes?
Love these updo ideas
I hope you have a good rest of your weekend! Please tell me you’re doing something relaxing and fun. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S.
Oh, and this is kinda random, but you might remember that I tested some long-wearing, sweat-proof makeup to wear to the gym a few months ago, partly because my HIIT teacher asked me to be the gym’s member of the month, which involved us taking pics together during class, hence the makeup?
Well, I totally forgot about it until this week, when I noticed that the “Member of the Month” poster was up, and I’m in the pic! LOL.
You go Karen! You worked hard on your body and it shows! Congratulations!
So proud of you Karen!
Side note: the Asian in me is slightly disappointed that you didn’t take the opportunity to advertise your blog in the flyer ?
Love the Member of the Month! You look great.
Okay someone showed me Quilty thus week and I LOVE HIM. Quincy was an escape artist himself but never let anyone else out. Also I’d be more into football if there were more cats.
whoa! Go Karen! you look amazing and also like a bad ass owning that kettle bell!
they are my enemy at the gym lol but maybe I should keep at it and one day they will be my friend 🙂
p.s. cross stitching is super easy, and that Golden Girl pattern is making me wanna pick it back up again 🙂
I LOVE that poster. Besides looking fabulous (that pose says it all), you are so thoughtful and articulate in your responses. I’ll bet your words will motivate a LOT of people. Great job!! You should be very proud! <3
Aww, thanks Kim! 🙂 I went to class again last night and it kicked my butt. Thank goodness for the classes (and peeps) in our life who motivate us.
