What Cheers You Up When You’re Feeling Blue?
Heya, chicas. Hope your day’s been a good one so far.
Things are much better on this end. A pint of Haagen-Daz Dulce de Leche fro-yo, a long bath and some Sex and the City episodes from season deux (remember when Carrie dates the new Yankee?!) helped lift me out of my funk. 🙂
Earlier while I was chillin’ in the tub, I got to thinking about the different things that comfort us when we’re feeling out of sorts. For me, most of the time a relaxing activity, like watching a movie, helps a lot, but I also have those moments when a long run or walk does the trick.
What cheers you up when you’re feeling down? Please share a few of your favorites in the comments.

Benefit Benetint Lip Balm SPF 15 and a Quick Holla at My Girls
Hi gals,
Hello and good morning — oops, more like good afternoon. I’ve been MIA because I spent the morning plastered to the couch watching The Family Stone with Tabs, my favorite blanket and a box of Kleenex.
Last night I got nada for sleep, and this morning I woke up with a migraine and an overwhelming feeling of weepy, PMS-y yuckiness. You ever have one of those days? Ugh.
I’m sure it’ll pass quickly, but for now I think I need to let it work through my system. I swear tears sometimes feel like fibrous roughage for the soul.
Of course, I couldn’t leave you hanging without a beauty fix, which is why I wanted to quickly share my new favorite lip product, Benefit Benetint Lip Balm SPF 15 ($20).
It tints lips with a hint of shiny red color, creating an effortless, easy look in seconds — perfect for minimal makeup days when you’re running errands, or when you need a mental health day involving the couch, the remote and your trusty cat/dog/iguana/etc.
Even with jacked-up hair, hella sketchy breath and ratty jammies (which, coincidentally, are covered in crumbs and Nutella), I feel a little better with this lightly tinted, non-sticky, ultra-moisturizing balm on my pucker.
I hope your Tuesday is treating you well. BRB in a few …
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
