Hola, Sabado!
¡Y feliz Cinco de Mayo! ??

I love to travel and “get outta Dodge,” so to speak, even if it’s just to head out of town for a couple days to visit my in-laws, like we did last weekend. It’s good for a change of scenery and to break your routines for a bit. and then it also makes the return to those comfy routines all the sweeter when you get back home, ya know?

So, this weekend… Oh, good morning, by the way! I’m just rattling on, LOL! I had my coffee early and it’s kicking in.

Anyway, what was I saying…?

Oh, yeah, TRAVEL. I would love to be chilling in Punta de Mita today, maybe catch a few waves at Sayulita, but the furthest I intend to go this weekend is to the gardening store down the street to see if they have any herbs to plant in the pots I grabbed from HomeGoods the other day.

Which takes me to other thing I have planned today — good ol’-fashioned spring cleaning. I don’t want to do it, but it has to be done.

Hopefully these will soon house herbs for some yummy dishes this summer.
Speaking of HomeGoods, doesn’t that measuring cup with the blue kitty in the top photo look like something Anthropolgie would sell for $45?

Guess who found it at HomeGoods for $7.99. Yup, this girl.

According to Sir John (my spirit animal, and Beyoncé’s makeup artist), this is what you need to do so your cream blush looks like skin.

This writer inadvertently ripped out her lashes, and I absolutely feel her pain. Here’s how she grew them back.

When you’re thinking about what to get mommy for Mother’s Day, would you consider a $1,400 Gucci sweatshirt? $86 drinking glasses? A $310 one-piece swimsuit?! If so, then check out this over-the-top Mom’s Day gift guide — by The wall street Journal, so random!

Ooh, I see a few cream blushes I want to try on this list of celebrity favorite drugstore blushes.

I need that Revlon stick blush in my life, STAT.

According to new York City dermatologist Dr. Rachel Nazarian, there are generally only two types of acne, inflammatory (red, painful cysts) and non-inflammatory (whiteheads and blackheads), and here’s how she develops a patient’s treatment plan.

Oh, and speaking of acne treatments, people used to do lots of sketchy things back in the day, including using mercury, cyanide and cow poop applied to one’s face.

Apparently, these famous ’80s appeal products have withstood the test of time and are still beloved today.

I spent about 30 minutes doing my own makeup for my senior portrait (which was a long time for me back in the day), so props to this 18-year-old high school senior, who spent four hours painting his face for his senior pics. Kevin Kodra, who also works as a makeup artist on the side, used lots of creams to create his bronzed, glowing look.

The artistry in this took my breath away. I could never pull off these extra-long nails (figuratively) and bejeweled embellishments because I can barely type if my nails are a millimeter too long, so I’m wondering how the ladies who wear extra OTT styles get anything done! — but hey, if you can function with talons, a lot more power to ya!

Perfumes eventually expire after exposure to oxygen, light and bacteria, but there’s a small but growing niche of perfume merchants who sell vintage perfumes as if they’re fine wines.

If I play my cards ideal and get my errands done, I’d also like to stop by the library to get hold of a new book, because reading is fundamental! Are you reading anything good ideal meow?

1. A lacrosse sphere for back massage

This has been the very best as well as worst thing to ever occur to me.

Because I bring most of my tension in my upper back, as well as I spend most of my day sitting at my desk, my trapezoids are about as versatile as a big block of cheese. WERE, I mean. भूत काल। My upper back’s been all loose-y goose-y ever since I started massaging it with this $3 lacrosse sphere I discovered at sports Basement.

Every night I provide myself a poor-woman’s deep-tissue massage by rolling it under my upper back (there’s a lot of tutorials on YouTube), as well as even though I’m on the verge of misery while I’m doing it, when I’m done I no longer feel the crunchiness in the knots beneath my shoulder blades.

I watched this originally since I wished to see this dude’s dog, LOL! It’s super helpful.

FYI: It is a truly intense massage. If you don’t believe you’ll be able handle it, begin with a tennis ball, as well as work your method as much as a lacrosse sphere (which is harder).

2. Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter

If you’ve previously fallen under the magic spell of Nutella like I have, you’ll totally get this. I’m always looking for different spreads to spruce up toast in the morning since lady cannot exist on peanut butter alone.

This is *the* spread that will make you say, “What’s Nutella?”

Trader Joe’s dreamed up this creamy, silky butter, which is made from…cookies, as well as it tastes like whipped honey graham crackers as well as gingerbread. Basically, heaven in a jar. It’s similarly tasty on top of toast or as a dip for pretzels or carrot sticks. extremely suggested for when you’re in the mood for a decadent treat.

3. MAC Iridescent Powder/Loose in Silver Dusk

Say peace-the-eff-out to all the other silvery pink highlighters available since MAC Silver Dusk. It’s a loose powder that is available in a jar, as well as you can dust it on your deal with as well as eyes (and even your body)… This poor boy truly whips my high pony ’round as well as ’round.

I’m an NC42.
I’m not always a fan of silvery pink loose highlighting powders since 1) they usually clash with my NC42 skin, as well as 2) they look borderline fros-tay, however this essential of MAC artist bridal looks is a go-to for a reason. Somehow, some way, it just works for almost everyone.

Leave it to the wizards at team MAC for making a highlighter that not only appears like a soft beam of angelic light is bathing your face, however is likewise simple to blend, so there’s no danger of those tell-tale highlighting edges along the bridge of your nose or on your upper cheekbones.

Added bonus? It lasts all the time (and all night) long, too.

4. Mrs. Meyers Hand Soap as well as meal Soap autumn Scents

I stumbled onto these Mrs. Meyers restricted edition autumn scents at Target last weekend, as well as I’m behind them 100%. We’re speaking cozy Apple Cider as well as spicy Pumpkin fragrances for meal soaps as well as hand soaps, so while you’re washing as well as rinsing off that skillet of overcooked scrambled eggs, instead of believing about exactly how dried eggs are such a PIA to clean, you’ll be magically transported to a cozy fireplace on the very first crisp day of fall, where you as well as your sweetie pie are snuggling, sipping hot drinks as well as scrubing feet.

5. September tomatoes

There’s something about those end-of-the-season tomatoes on the vine that are additional delicious.

I’m gonna miss being able to go on my deck as well as pick a handful whenever I want. Sigh…

Before we start, here’s this weekend’s reading, as well as yay! — there were great deals of feline stories in the news!

? a bronze glow? Here’s your new #BECCABFFs.
Whenever I see a Kardashian-related makeup product (which is, like, every five seconds, amiright?), I remember that krazy dream I had a few months ago where Kim and I got into a kat fight about jewelry. हा हा हा! Yes, it was nuts. I think of that dream every time I wear the #BECCABFFs collection.

The #BECCABFFs collection is new, LE and available now with two powder palettes, a loose highlighter and four lipsticks. It’s a collab between Khloe Kardashian and her bestie Malika Haqq, and even though I have feeeeeeeelings about the Kardashians…I guess if there were any of them I could remotely relate to, it would probably be Khloe, because she does have that biting sense of humor. and I know this because I marathoned the first two seasons of KUWTK while Connor was a newborn and I was up at all hours feeding her.

विज्ञापन

I’m an NC42, BTW.
Wearing the Made With love by Khloe palette on my cheeks and eyes, and Cupid’s Bow Lipstick on my lips.
BECCA’s vibe is generally beach-babe-meets-Victoria’s-Secret-runway-model, and they’re consistent about it. They shamelessly embrace warm, bronzed, highlighted skin and glowing lids and lips, and I like that type of makeup, so it doesn’t get tedious for me, but I can see how they could seem like a one-trick pony if it’s not your thing.

At first blush, #BECCABFF’s colors might seem very similar to the colors from previous collections like BECCA X Chrissy (THE BEST), but they really are different. The four warm shades in the Made With love By Malika palette ($44), for instance, are deeper and darker versions of BECCA’s usual classic bronze look, and the Made With love By Khloe palette (also $44), while still warm, has a surprisingly neutral matte bronzer in it that’s unusual for a BECCA launch.

So, yeah, the differences are subtle, but they’re there.

The packaging’s a little clunky…but the powders themselves perform like Olympic gymnasts. They’re typical BECCA multitaskers, too, so you can wear them on your cheeks, eyes or, heck, all over your face if you want to!

See the marbling? Kinda looks like the hourglass Ambient blushes and bronzers, right? You get that same lighter-than-air quality with these powders, where you can’t even see the grains on your skin, but they differ in terms of shimmer. The Ambients are known for their subtlety, and subtle these are not. The #BECCABFFS turn up the pearl, so you gotta lean into the glow if you want to go there.

I’m amazing with it because the pearl particles are fine, so my pores are like “Coo’, coo’… We can work with this.”

Of the four $24 lipsticks, I’ve only worn the neutrals so far (big surprise).

Few quick things:

They taste and smell like brown sugar (it’s not in your face or sugary sweet, though).

On the formula spectrum, they’re on the thick and dry side, so the lippies tug a little when you apply them, but I think that extends the wear time. I get between three and four hours.

I don’t have any issues with them settling into lip lines, yay!

Last thing: The loose highlighter ($18) has off-the-charts shiny pearl and bronzed gold shimmer, and it’s not my thing, but if you like high-voltage highlights, look no further.

If you’re so inclined, you can find the collection now at Ulta and wherever BECCA products are sold.

Rowing, rowing, rowing…

So…the gym I go to for HIIT classes a couple nights a week just got these really amazing rowing machines that are, well, really amazing to me because you can move them around and store them upright, so they hardly take up any space, which I’m fascinated by for some reason…

Anyway, in my mind, I see myself as a competitive rower, but when I actually get on a rowing machine, I’m all sorts of awkward.

Yeah…I don’t look anything like these Olympic rowers when I do it.

Limbs are flying all over the place, and my butt is always *this close* to falling off… I think I’m doing some things right, but I’m pretty sure I’m also doing some things wrong, LOL. My HITT teacher told us last night that rowing is about 60% lower body strength and 40% upper body, and the key is to stay upright, push hard with your legs and pull hard with your arms.

ठिक छ।

I tried to do those things last night, but between trying to concentrate on my technique, and the pressure of the two-minute sprints we were doing, it was just a hot mess. There were several moments when I could’ve used a harness, because I almost fell off the seat!

Needless to say, if you row, or if you’ve rowed in the past and have any tips for me, please pass them along, because I could really use your help.
