Posted on August 31, 2022 by ftzys

It’s going to be a delightful day!

So…what is the Monday Poll?

Excellent question! It isn’t, as opposed to its name, an actual poll, like with bit clicky buttons. It’s just a listing of much more or less random concerns I’ve been publishing on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007).

1. Tulips, roses or daisies?

I like them all, however today I’ll opt for pink roses.

2. What’s the most difficult thing about eyeliner for you?

There are so numerous things, OMG. By far the most challenging, though, is getting the lines to look even. My best eye is somewhat bigger as well as much more hooded than my left, so I have to change exactly how high up I take the liner as well as exactly how far out. If I don’t account for the difference, my eyes appear asymmetrical.

3. Besides a great color match, what do you look for in a concealer?

I’m so picky about concealer, particularly in the under-eye area. My top thing is that it cannot work out into my fine lines. NOPE! No thanks.

4. Cake today?

Cake every day!

5. Boots or sneakers?

Sneakers, 100%. I never understand when I requirement to chase after a child, as well as sneakers are much much more conducive to unscripted sprints.

Thankfully, no. We’re a one feline family.

7. What’s worse: pants that are as well tight or an ill-fitting bra?

Both are terrible as well as remind me of numerous poor dates in the ’90s. as well tight pants would be worse, though. At least you can take off your bra, you know? I mean, you might take off your pants, however then it would be a completely different party…

8. What’s your hairstyle for the day?

Half up, half down with a high pony connected with a scarf.

9. Something you’re looking ahead to this week?

Checking In: camping at remove Lake, a new Book, as well as a Shrimp Pesto Salad recipe

Posted on August 29, 2022 by ftzys

major snack action while camping at remove Lake
It’s been about a week since we got house from camping at remove Lake, as well as I believe I’ve *finally* recovered. HA HA HA HA! I know. You would believe that sitting outside, like, making s’mores, playing Go Fish, car parking your butt in a chair as well as reading for two hours directly (DREAMY) would be totally relaxing, but…no, not really. I discovered a great deal from this trip, including that camping can be type of exhausting, particularly if you have to plan the trip as well as parent a young person at the exact same time. I mommed SO HARD, you don’t even know!

Why is eating a hot dog outside so fun?!
The path to the swimming area at remove Lake
Relaxing after a couple hours at the beach
Camping as a parent is waaaaay harder

Honestly, I did not recognize exactly how tiring parenting while camping was up until now. most of my previous experiences with camping were trips where I just showed up with a sleeping bag as well as a box of Frosted Flakes, since every summertime in high school, my finest buddy Jen’s prolonged household would pack up all the gear as well as the youngsters as well as the food as well as drive out to a lake somewhere in the middle of nowhere, where we’d spend a few days camping. I didn’t appreciate all of the work included in the planning as well as the food prep as well as the packing.

I was crazy exhausted when we got home, however happy since we entrusted to great deals of great memories that I hope get tucked away into Connor’s memories like those trips with Jen’s household are tucked away in mine (like the time my buddy Cindy as well as I unknowingly pitched our camping tent on a slight downhill grade, so we spent the entire night slowly moving down the hill in our sleeping bags, HA HA HA!).

Yes, I’m on a cot.
Thumbs as much as remove Lake

By the way, remove Lake specify Park is lovely. 100% recommended. It’s about two hours north of Marin County, as well as it’s a gorgeous location to camp since there’s a great deal of trees as well as life surrounding the like, so there’s great deals of animals as well as plants as well as locations to hike, fish as well as swim.

There are three campgrounds within the park, as well as we stayed at the Kelsey Creek one in site 88, which was perfect for us since it was a bit further from the primary strip of campsites as well as consequently quieter. It likewise had great deals of trees for shade. The only drawback was that it’s a bit far from the swimming as well as fishing areas, about a 15-20 minute walk, so if you have bit ones, you may want to trip bikes or drive your vehicle out to those places. Yes, you can totally walk there (and there are beautiful, simple trails), however it takes some time.

The creek next to our campsite
Fishing in a tutu, since that’s the method to do it
Baby’s very first camp s’mores!
Now, exactly how remove was remove Lake? Well, it was a bit murky, to be honest! In the swimming area, the lake itself is nice as well as warm for swimming, which was nice, however there were a ton of plants floating on the surface near the water’s edge, so you won’t be able to look down as well as see your feet like you can in Lake Tahoe. Connor was a bit bothered by the plants at first, however after I told her that they were “mermaid jewelry” as well as made some lake grass into bracelets, she got into it.

Also, there’s an outside shower close to the swimming area, so you can quickly rinse off before returning to your camp.

A view of the lake!
A new book!

When we weren’t swimming, sitting around or snacking (THERE WERE A great deal OF SNACKS), I was reading. I started a book I’ve had on Audible for ages, The silent Patient, a new York Times finest Seller.

Super scary, man
It’s a fictional thriller about a lady who allegedly murders her hubby as well as then refuses to speak. She gets a new therapist who starts playing detective to get to the root of the murder, as well as chaos ensues. It’s suspenseful as well as scary, so I wouldn’t phone call it relaxing, however if you like a story that doesn’t let up, you’ll most likely enjoy it. I am so far.

Speaking of reading, don’t laugh, however I just added Mariah Carey’s memoir to my reading list. Her book is coming out in September, as well as I believe I’m going to pre-order it as I like me some Mimi.

I hope she talks about the making of her Butterfly album, which is my preferred MC album since it has a great deal of her finest songs, most of which are underrated, IMHO — The roof as well as Breakdown (with Bone Thugs-n-Harmony) are quickly in my top 5.

Mimi’s makeup!

Yet one more eternal source of ’90s makeup inspiration

Oh, as well as ohmigosh! — I just recently fell with a Wikipedia black hole (you understand exactly how it is) as well as discovered out that Bizzy Bone, one of the members of Bone Thugs, does a great deal of advocacy for kids who are abducted since he was kidnapped as a child. A babysitter saw a photo of him on America’s most Wanted, as well as that’s exactly how he got rescued from his abductors.

Did you understand this?? I had no idea.

Abrupt shift ahead

Alright. On a lighter as well as totally unrelated note, I’ve been making this quick lunch salad lately as well as loving it — pesto shrimp salad with pear gorgonzola vinaigrette.

It’s super easy. begin by defrosting a handful of frozen shrimp in the fridge overnight. Then, next day at lunch, eliminate the shells as well as tails, as well as stir in a few spoonfuls of pre-made pesto.

A TJ’s staple, Genova Pesto
Next, in a huge bowl, add 2 cups spinach, 1-2 cups sliced cucumbers as well as bell peppers, as well as gown with two tablespoons of Trader Joe’s Pear Gorgonzola Vinaigrette (it’s in the refrigerated section with the pre-cut, bagged salad).

YUMMY!

Add the shrimp to your greens, as well as you’re done!

delighted Saturday, sweet girl!
Welcome to Saturday, mi amiga! ? At least I think it’s Saturday… I really don’t know. The days have been blurring together lately, so I’m like 75% sure? — which is good enough for now, ha ha ha.

OK, so, last night I had the weirdest dream. I was cutting my hair at home during, strangely enough, the daytime, and not in the dead of night, which would seem a lot more likely given my history with spontaneous haircuts, and instead of trimming the ends, touching up the layers or slicing some sassy side-swept bangs, I put a bowl on top of my head, and gave myself a bowl cut.

A. BOWL. CUT. ?

via GIPHY

Shockingly, it ended up looking good, like a legit beauty parlor professional pulled it off. My hair was even on both sides, and the bowl shape was perfectly round. After I was done, I blew it out so the strands would lay all sleek and smooth, then went out into the world to show off my new ‘do.

I WAS working THAT bowl CUT, TOO, tossing my mane around in slow motion like it was a Pantene commercial. I guess that’s what happens when you read a lot of articles on how to cut your own hair at home…

There are a couple of them in today’s list of links, but none are devoted solely to the best at-home bowl cut, in case you were wondering. ?

“Behind every successful man is a strong woman color-correcting his butt.” <---- best line I read all week. Experts say that sticking to your regular routines — including putting on makeup — can help improve your mood, even during uncertain times like these. Ulta is furloughing employees, and their executives are forgoing their salaries. The makeup museum is launching a new exhibit online called Generations of Beauty, with the goal of supporting lonely seniors (shout-out to the grandparents!) during the pandemic. Guess what? professional hair stylists do not recommend burning off your split ends with, ya know, fire. ? here are their pro ideas for doing a not-so-terrible job of cutting your own hair at home. ? Oh, and if you need a pair of clippers for your haircut, here are the best ones, according to the Chicago Tribune. Factories that used to make perfume, tees and automobiles are now making supplies to help in the coronavirus crisis. Note to self: When we can all go out and play again, smell all of these perfumes with rose notes, and add the ones I love to my collection. Apparently, videos with choreography to Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” are a thing. Here’s another one! Look at these littles! Allegedly, when I play this video, I play it for Connor, but really, I’m the one who loves dancing to it, ha ha ha! We will meet again (also, please note the Queen’s orange lipstick). My favorite Madonna video of all time Don’t stop believing. I love you, Lisa, but truth be told, I mostly enjoyed this to see your cat. ? ADVERTISEMENT Be extra great to yourself, today, ok? and drop me a line in the comments to let me know what you’re up to for Easter. We’re still sheltering-in-place here at home… I’ll be making an easy Easter brunch for us. got plans for strawberry scones, a breakfast egg and sausage casserole and gluten-free blueberry pancakes.

delighted national Lash Day! Mascara and Kitties Tee.
Hi, and delighted Caturday!

Oh, and delighted national Lash Day too! Yes, we’re celebrating eyelashes now. My lashes are currently on the hunt for a new mascara, by the way. If you’re delighted with yours, please share because Laura Mercier Caviar just isn’t doing it for me anymore (the curl hold isn’t the same for whatever reason).

Lately, I’ve been wearing a layer of Ilia Fullest Volumizing Mascara with a waterproof mascara on top, and while it does the job just fine, I’d like to have a one-and-done solution, so let me know if you’ve found anything life changing!

Speaking of lashes, Connor had a mini-meltdown over her eyelashes recently. Hers are long and curly like El Hub’s, and they often get caught in her eyes, which is very uneasy for her. When it happens, I either help her use a washcloth or rinse out her eyes with water to get the stuck lashes out.

Anywho, it happened again the other day, and she started talking about cutting her lashes off because they were so bothersome… I shut that down real quick. I think between the “absolutely not” and “you’re gonna poke your eye out,” something may have gotten lost in translation because she just started bawling. I held her in my arms and assured her that it wasn’t always going to be a problem, and that one day she’d be grateful for such charming lashes. then we rinsed out her eyes and went about service as usual.

Throwback to li’l baby lashes!
So yeah, delighted national Lash Day. I hope you aren’t having a meltdown!

This week’s reading

Social media influencers are now cloning their pets…

Debbie Harry on red lipstick: “Red lipstick can be one of the disasters with smearing and bleeding, but then again, these can be appealing looks to develop. I didn’t always wear red lips, and the shades of red varied according to what I was wearing, my mood, or whatever I had available. I always like shades that had names that implied something wild, tempting, or nasty.”

Stevie Nicks is still living her dreams.

Acne is normally regarded differently in Korea than it is in the United States. In Korea, dermatologists focus on hydration and moisture barrier support to stop blemishes.

Dog cologne is a thing.

One of my favorite cat “ladies” is clearly not a minimalist.

If you like fancy things…

I want to do this!

Beauty Products: What things Do You get the Most?

Posted on August 22, 2022 by ftzys

MWHAHAHAHAHA
1. Black hair ties

I am permanently getting new packs of black hair ties to replace the ones that vanish into the black hole of appeal products. When I try truly difficult not to lose them, I may go five, perhaps six months, without getting a new pack.

Typically, though, I’m grabbing a fresh one every three or four months. I’ve provided in to the truth of not being able to keep them. In the words of the Mandolorian, “This is the way.”

2. Hair Conditioner

OMG, so much conditioner! keep in mind exactly how in the ’80s as well as ’90s exactly how the directions on conditioner bottles would state something along the lines of working a quarter-size blob into your hair? I’ve always needed, like, five dollars worth of quarters in mine, LOL! I go with a great deal of conditioner quickly. normally two or three bottles a month.

3. All the things associated to moisturizing

Face cream (I’m currently loving Biossance Omega Repair), body lotion (Everyone Vanilla + Lavender is my jam), hand cream, lip balm… If as well as when the zombie apocalypse occurs, I will be hoarding moisturizer like nobody’s business.

4. Sunscreen

This has been a fairly recent uptick (like in the last year), as I’ve been trying to be diligent about everyday sun protection. Body sunscreens as well as deal with sunscreens are a huge chunk of my appeal budget.

5. brown eyeliner

Anybody else blaze with these? I’m an avid tightliner, so brown liner never lasts long in my makeup bag.

How about you? What appeal products do you get the most?

Trash stock aka Empties: March 2015

Posted on August 21, 2022 by ftzys

I’m officially renaming my Empties articles to trash Stash. Once again, I’ve accumulated sufficient empty beauty products to publish – I reckon this will be a monthly function going forward. I can no longer reject it – being on a No-Buy has absolutely required me to utilize up a few of my stash!

Cargo blu_ray HD pressed Powder in 20 – $32 for 8g (select Rexall as well as online)
This was maybe the most satisfying product to lastly surface up. You understand when you’ve hit pan on a powder, as well as then the hole in the center slowly gets larger as well as larger? Well, this one, I hit pan months back (even before I started my No-Buy) as well as it seemed like the powder just would NOT get utilized up. The essential point was when the edges got so thin the powder crumbled. That was a fist-pump “Yessss!” moment. Oh as well as I truly such as this powder, it’s extremely finely milled as well as looks almost undetectable on the skin. It’s one of my all time HG as well as I have a back up in my stash.
Stash worthiness: 10/10

“This product was made by Susan on 18-Jul-13 utilize by 18-Sep-14 finest utilized fresh”
Lush charming Jubblies – $26 for 100g (lush stores as well as online)
I blame YouTube for this. At one point every 20-something year old appeal guru was speaking about this cream as well as exactly how it assisted to liven up the ladies. HELLO, you’re young as well as nubile, you do NOT requirement this cream! I did not get this for my jubblies however rather as a curiosity, as well as the sales woman told me I might put in on my derriere if I so desired, like a buttock lift. Verdict: It’s absolutely useless except it smells great – increased mixed with almond – as well as supplies some hydration to the skin. I felt no tightening, no lifting, no transcendence. I had about half of the tub left at the beginning of March as well as observed that the expiration was Sept 2014 (it still smelled fine) so I slapped everything over my body just to utilize it up (and my body was SO TOIGHT… no, no it wasn’t).
Stash worthiness: 2/10

eos hand lotion in cucumber – $4 for 44ml (drugstores)
I truly liked this hand cream – the smell, the texture, the sleek packaging – however, it seemed the scent was rather overpowering as well as I gathered some comments from people around me when I used this (“What’s that smell?“). Once, somebody had a coughing in shape as well as stated it was because of this smell. So I stopped bring it in my handbag as well as just utilized it up at home. as well bad, I truly liked exactly how compact the tube is, plus it didn’t make my hands excessively greasy, however I don’t want to be accountable for somebody coughing to death since of this.
Stash worthiness: 8/10

Lise Watier Hydrasmart 3D Hydration Metamorphosis Cleansing Gelée – $25 for 150ml (Shoppers medication Mart, LiseWatier.com, choose Bay as well as Sears stores)
I did a evaluation of this in my wintertime night time skincare overview. I won’t repurchase this since it’s rather ineffective in eliminating my eye makeup.
Stash worthiness: 6/10

L’Oreal Natures therapy Scalp relief Leave-In treatment $11.19 for 118ml (Sally appeal Supply)
I published about this in my wintertime scalp care – it’s a excellent product that I’ll always keep in my stash.
Stash worthiness: 10/10

Clarins immediate Light Brush-On Perfector in 00 light beige – $36 for 2ml (department stores)
This is a highlighting pen similar to YSL Touche Eclat. The finest method I discovered to apply this was to clean it on, let it set for a few minutes, as well as then blend in a patting movement with a flat foundation brush. Technically, there’s still a bit of product inside however I’ve been utilizing this pen on as well as off for 2 years so I believe it’s time to retire it. I have one more one of these unopened, however in the 01 pink beige shade. I really like the Maybelline dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer to this.
Stash worthiness: 7/10

Cargo LashActivator night – $29 for 11ml (select Rexall as well as online)
I’ll be doing a in-depth evaluation of this eyelash “elixir” soon. One thing I wished to mention about this tube is something I started doing about 5 years back – notice the sticker at the end of the tube with a date written on it? I do that so I can keep track of when I opened the tube. lots of products now have the bit signs indicating the suggested lifespan of the product when it is opened. For me, this is particularly crucial for liquid eye makeup like mascaras as well as eyeliners. considering that this tube was opened in Sept 2014 as well as the product has a 6 month lifespan, it was time to toss.

Various hotel toiletries as well as skincare samples. 10 down, one more 200 to go.

I do have to highlight one sample I was truly smitten with – the Clarins HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase. This bit 3ml blue vial lasted me about 10 uses, I used it after my toner as well as before my moisturizer in the evenings as well as it left my skin incredibly soft as well as smooth. I’m noting this down for future purchase. Yes, the crack that is cosmetics samples: very first one’s free, but the next one’s going to expense me! (at $59 for 30ml, it’s a bit painful)

Lastly, an honourable mention:

This Essence All about Matt! taking care of Compact Powder ($4 for 8g, buyers medication Mart) shattered when I dropped the case. Thankfully, the compact was closed as well as all of the product stayed inside. I’m going to crush the powder as well as snort it put it into a container to utilize it as a loose powder.

That wraps up one more month of trash Stash! Have you completed up any type of appeal products lately?

5 things I’ve Been Loving Lately

Posted on August 21, 2022 by ftzys

1. Old Navy high-rise Bike Shorts

These are high-rise bike shorts constructed out of soft jersey material.

I gotten a few on a whim to wear beneath gowns in the spring as well as summer, as well as they’re fantastic! The material feels great against my skin, as well as the increase is high sufficient to keep my tum-tum feeling supported. They’re offered in a number of neutral colors; I gotten fundamental black as well as two shades of brown.

2. Appointed Notebooks

If you’re into paper goods, I believe you’ll like these notebooks. I got one as a gift from my good friend Kelly as well as now I’m obsessed.

Both the cover as well as the paper inside feel thick as well as sturdy, so it’s developed to last. Plus, you gotta like a monogram!

3. Juice Newton

I’m going with a phase as well as have been bumping her music for days.

I particularly like the part in “Angel of the Morning” when she belts it! Also, her hair in this video is epic.

“Queen of Hearts” will always be my fave, though.

Side note: is it just me, or would “Queen of Hearts” be a fun tune for a punk band to cover? I can absolutely hear it.

4. NARS Kalahari eyeshadow duo

Oldie however a goodie. I’ve been using it with MAC Teddy on my lash as well as water lines.

Love ya, Kalahari!
5. utilizing resistance bands in leg workouts

I throw a medium or a heavy band on while I do squats, as well as OH, MAMA. I feel the burn!

Operation: J. Lo Booty
The bands make my leg days that much a lot more effective since they force me to work that much harder, as well as the next day my legs are sore (in a great way).

What’ve you been loving lately?
