I saw these beauties the other day in the sky when I picked up Connor from dance class. Don’t you love the colors and the shape? They look like clouds in a painting. Gorgeous!
Well, it’s been a couple days of several firsts on this end.
I found Connor’s first written banana note, for one.
I’ve always liked writing little notes on bananas; it’s just a funny thing I’ve always liked to do.
Now that Connor is learning to read, I’ve been leaving her notes on her bananas at snack time. Today I wrote, “You are kind, important and so loved” on one side and “You are beautiful inside and out” on the other.
Anyway, I went to grab a banana today out of the bunch on the counter, and found a note in her handwriting.
So sweet.
Another first: I went to my very first dog birthday party.
Our friends had a dinner to celebrate their dog Bella’s second birthday, and we were invited over for pasta and dessert.
Bella’s mom made her a birthday cake from scratch that included ground chicken and carrots, among other things. The party was fun and super cute!
Last, but certainly not least, I went to my first official video meeting for – drumroll please – a new writing gig.
Yup, it was for one of the interviews I had in the last month, and I’m super stoked because it’s with a luxury Korean skin care line with a product that saved my skin when it was breaking out terribly, which I’ve purchased and used to the last drop many times.
That same skin care line has another brand in its portfolio with a product that’s been sitting on my nightstand for years!
I really wanted to write for a line that I’ve used and loved, so I’m super excited about what’s on the horizon.
Anywho. Thanks for being here and listening while I’ve looked for a new job. You’re a good friend, and I appreciate you.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Jessika Barber says
I’m so happy for you Karen! I have used the Enzyme Treatment Peel for over 10 years! It’s a staple in my skincare. I only wish Nordstrom still carried the brand! It’s hard to buy it elsewhere for me since I get an employee discount 😜.
Anyways CONGRATS on your new job, I hope everyone that you work with is as lovely as their products!!!
