golden girls cross stitch
Thank you for being a friend!

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.

    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.

    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.
