3 Little Moments of Magic

April 25th, 2024 by Karen 4 Comments

I’ve been trying to recognize small moments of wonder throughout my week. Here’s some small moments of magic that’ve happened so far!

1. A good makeup day with Westman Atelier

Lately, before work, I only have about 5-10 minutes, max, to paint my face. Honestly, sometimes my makeup comes out kinda dicey but doable, but other times, like this week, it’s been really nice, all thanks to the foundation stick and the blush and lip cream from Westman Atelier. Both things made it entirely possible to look chic and pulled together in no time at all.

I wear the shade Atelier VI in the foundation stick, and the lip and cheek cream I’ve got is a bright, warm pink called Poppet. It looks good with bronze eyeshadow, by the way.

Um, and yeah, that’s me sitting in my car waiting to go into the office. I like to get there early, so I don’t have to feel rushed in the morning. Anywho, I had a really good makeup day yesterday!

2. Butterflies everywhere I look

I was on campus and ran into the most beautiful monarch butterfly. She was huge and stopped by right in front of me on the grass to say hello.

We hung out for a couple minutes before she went on her merry way.

3. A bright spot in the neighborhood

There’s a house here in town that’s been doing fun displays in their front yard, and earlier this week I ran into their newest one, which includes characters from “Winnie the Pooh,” one of my favorite books when I was young.

I love how Tigger, Pooh and his friends look like they’re playing in a garden.

They’re also hosting a book fair and bake sale soon, too. So fun!

Have you had any small moments of magic this week?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Winnie the Pooh was one of my favorites, too. My first memory is of my mom reading it to me at bedtime when I was very small.😊

      How sweet! I had a couple of records (!) that were Winnie the Pooh related, which I loved.

    Moments of magic – Ragnar is lying in his heated bed(!) on the desk next to me as I type this, someone said I gave an “excellent” talk yesterday, and I just went out and picked up our chicken Brunhilde and kissed her sweet feathery neck.

    I had corrective surgery on my right eye (badly sagging eyelid) & despite the black eye I’m so happy with it. I no longer look like I have had a stroke. I have gotten more stuff out of my house & donated it. And last, the trees in my yard have their leaves popping out. It looks so fresh & springy
