Thoughts on Beauty

April 1st, 2022 by Karen 19 Comments

Happy Friday, friend!

Hi, friend. Happy Friday! I hope that you’re feeling warm, cozy and calm as the week wraps up.

I was putting on lipstick this morning (shout out to Chantecaille’s new Lip Chic in Willow!), and I realized something. I’ve pretty much put on at least a little bit of makeup almost every day since I was a freshman in high school.

And for the past 15 years, I’ve also wrote or thought about something beauty related almost every day — testing, taking pics and deep diving into countless blushes, mascaras, eyeshadows… It’s been quite a journey, but I think now it’s time to embark on a new one.

Here’s to driving down new roads


I’ve decided to follow my heart and pivot MBB to something that I’ve always loved reading and writing about but never had to guts to try out: car reviews. Instead of contemplating lipstick, I’ll be prattling on about SUVs, hybrids and hatchbacks. So fun!

I’m definitely reviewing this car the next time I go to Hawaii!

Here’s to always chasing your passion! I hope you stay along for the new ride.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I love it!
    Sometimes one has to change their patch and that’s totally okay. Also, I’m looking to purchase a hybrid vehicle in the next three years so this works for me.

    Either way, love you and support you.

      Honestly, though, I would probably really LOVE reviewing power tools. I’ve always wanted to be a person who knows her way around them; maybe that will be in my future, for real!

      HAHAHAHAHAHA I’ve seen that Booty Patrol car…. it’s an old Honolulu Police vehicle, I think. Itvs belated, but thank you for the April Fool’s giggle. But if you did start reviewing cars, I’d be into it… we need more representation in all the things!

    Karen, OMG, you had me for about 10 seconds–I even re-read your post!
    I was about to say, good luck, but buh-bye, when I realized this was an April Fool’s joke! Good One! You got me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Good thing I read it after April 1st, so I was prepared for something like that. But honestly, I would have stayed for cars as well – at least I would have tried!
