Saturday Surfing, February 11, 2023!

February 11th, 2023 by Karen 7 Comments

Good morning friend, and happy Caturday to ya from me and my second cup of coffee. Don’t ask me why it feels like I’m living on the wild side when I have more than one cup on Saturday, but it does.

Guess what! A while back, I did some freelance writing for ORLY, a nail polish line out of Southern California. They hired me to do a video script for them, and here it is.

Video script writing is a whole different beast in that you have to time your sentences precisely to fit with the cuts in the video. It was a challenging and fun project.

This week’s reading

  • Miss Havisham is having a glam moment.
  • The eight do’s and don’ts of skin care, according to a celeb facialist.
  • 13 of the best classic red nail polish shades that never go out of style.
  • The bottle for the Cherry Blossom by Les Ateliers Vermont scent by Guerlain looks SO pretty!
  • Why does rose perfume have a bad reputation?
  • Puzzles for cats!
  • Are hair perfumes worth it?
  • Um, just in case you were looking for a lipstick with “non-traditional” packaging.
  • Make-up artist Lucia Pica likes doing lipstick first.
  • Apparently, your natural lip shade is the same shade as your nipple, which is news to me!


I’m inspired to wear color!


Yes, please.


Tretinoin tips!

I hope your Saturday is going great so far. What are you up to? Doing anything fun?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I think Nibbler would play with that puzzle only if I loaded it up with catnip first.
    Going to pet store to try and find new food for Nibbler. The brand of wet food I was using completely changed consistency, smell and texture. Every time I try to give Nibs a little bit she barfs. Don’t know if I got a bad batch or if this is a permanent change. So now I have to hunt for another food that’s more gravy.
    Have a great weekend!

      Oh, poor Nibs. I hope you find something yummy for her to eat.

      Enjoy your day! 🙂

    I’ve never considered the challenges in scripting a video. You did a great job!

    I get it about coffee. I recently ordered half caff Nespresso pods just so I could indulge in more than 1 cup without any caffeine side effects. I never worried about that in my 20s or even 30s. I could drink an espresso at midnight and sleep like a baby.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

      Thank you! I need to get more Nespresso half caff pods! I’m having a major double espresso phase at the moment. 🙂

    That’s a great video Karen!
    I like to add an espresso pod to one of my coffee pods to amp up the caffeine! And all this talk of Nespresso has me considering another cup even though it’s two in the afternoon. I have some decaf pods so that’s probably what I will choose.
