Hiya! Connor has the last of her dance performances for the school year this weekend, so chances are I’m doing dance mom things as you read this. 🙂
I’ve probably mentioned this before, but where I live in the Bay Area, you’ll often see lots of wildlife roaming about. Case in point, I was coming back from lunch the other day and saw this very pretty deer on campus having a snack near a cluster of classrooms. I’ve seen her a couple times and have named her Jasmine because apparently what I do is name all the animals I happen to stumble onto.
Oh, and another thing that I do is get endless amusement from hyphens. This post from Merriam-Webster made me laugh so hard!
Anywho, I have to now attend to Connor’s high pony and red matte lipstick. Sometimes I wonder if spending the bulk of my young adult life beauty blogging specifically prepared me for getting this little lady ready for dance performances. 🙂
Enjoy the rest of your Saturday, and take it easy, lemon squeez-y.
This week’s reading
- “The first time someone did my makeup for me, I was in seventh grade. My best friend at the time had started experimenting with makeup, and I thought she looked beautiful. I thought I would too. But when she added her finishing touches to me, and I looked in the mirror, I didn’t love what I saw.” <—-I quite enjoyed this piece.
- I’m not surprised the Curel Cleansing Oil is at the top of this list of best cleansing oils. It’s a beast! I just wish it was easier to find in stores, sigh.
- “Sometimes I think a good scent is like receiving an invitation to a party—the more enticing the smell, the more flamboyant the promise, and the more excited I am to go wherever that journey will take me. And nowhere was that more true than in Mexico City.”
- Kate Moss is launching a beauty line.
- Nissan made a perfume that smells like tires and cherry blossoms.
- “Close your eyes and imagine a silk veil moving and flowing around you. It’s cocooning rather than suffocating, gently caressing your skin, the feeling comforting your mind and body. That epitomises skin scents – intimate, barely there, elusive and the latest wave in perfumery that we can’t get enough of.”
So much YES
Remember Fashion Fair? It’s still around!
