Saturday Surfing, December 16, 2023!

December 16th, 2023 by Karen 1 Comment

Happy Caturday!

Good morning, my friend. Happy Saturday to ya!

It’s the first weekend in a while where our family has no dance-related activities, and I almost don’t know what to do with the down time. Dance fam life is fun and exciting, for sure, but keeping track of scheduling, costumes, hair styles, meal planning and everything else in between requires a lot of mental bandwidth. I’m glad to have the chance today to veg out and let my brain and body rest.

My not-so-tiny dancer!

Today I have no plans other than getting over this lingering cold. There will be lots of hot tea drinking, book reading and binge watching, because the second half of the latest season of “The Crown” is now on Netflix. YES!

This week’s reading

  • What do you think of Pantone’s 2024 color of the year? I’m getting ’80s vibes!
  • I think Jennifer Garner’s beauty routine is really pretty. I’m going to try her trick of doing mascara first and liquid liner second.
  • This makeup artist works on celebrity clients in the NFL.
  • Meet Carol Rasheed, the head makeup artist for “The Color Purple.”
  • In case you didn’t know, “off-world DNA storage” is a thing, and now hair samples of three U.S. presidents are set to launch into deep space later this month.


Yes please


Very pretty


This is a lot of blush, wow


Talk to me

Have a great rest of your weekend, and please do your best to stay healthy! I feel like I’m getting a cold every five seconds these days, LOL!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I don’t like that Pantone color of the year. I noticed they’re already pushing it at Target. I don’t think they’re going to find a lot of people wanting to use that color for decorating, or even for clothing.
