1. Personal palette challenges
I’m the first to admit it — I get stuck in makeup ruts sometimes. I’ll get comfy and do the same look over and over and over again. And over again. And again. (*cough* soft bronze glam *cough*)
But I’ve been trying to not do that as much lately by challenging myself to take old palettes (and new ones, too) and doing anything other than my usual brown/bronze look with them. And I’ll give myself no more than 20 minutes each time.
Granted, this doesn’t always work out, and sometimes I end up looking CRAY and have to take everything off and start all over again (*shrugs shoulders*), but I’m trying. 🙂
2. These astrology mugs from Target
My cupboard already runneth over with mugs, but if I had extra room, I’d get one of these astrology mugs from Target for every important person in my life.
3. Bistro Santa Fe Style Salads
Bless you, Costco! These salads are super tasty, and they’re only $10 for a pack of four! The ingredients: romaine, roasted corn, chicken, crunchy tortilla strips, cheese and a dressing that tastes like thousand island.
So I don’t get sick of them, I’ll add different things all the time, like I’ll add avocado, bacon or cherry tomatoes. Sometimes I’ll also crumble a few extra tortilla chips on top for an enhanced crunch version.
4. These Ralph Lauren couch pillows from HomeGoods
I’m going with a denim/navy scheme for the living room for spring (and possibly summer), and I found a bunch of these pillows in different shapes, sizes and patterns at HomeGoods a couple weeks ago.
They’re filled with down, and the covers are removable, so if your husband eats Sees Candy on the couch and accidentally leaves chocolate stains on them (GRRR), you can just unzip the covers and throw them in the wash.
I could do without the “RL” logo in the corner, but at least it’s subtle…
5. ’90s pop music
I’m majorly feeling this old Third Eye Blind song…
It brings back memories of when I lived in SF in the late ’90s.
Also, the entire Jagged Little Pill album! Totally rocking my world again. Especially this ditty…
What are some things you’ve been loving lately? 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Rachel says
Those salads looks sooo good! And I definitely have a mug hoarding problem but those target ones are cute!
Lulle says
Hand in My Pocket was one of my favorite songs back in the day! I still love this album too.
Tatiana says
Love the paisley pillow!
CL says
I looked up the mugs on Target’s website, and my local stores don’t seem to have them on the shelf right now. I’d really like to see them.
Lupe says
That salad looks so good!! I’ve been trying to be more adventurous with my eye looks as well.
Michelle says
That salad looks amazinggg! I’ve also been trying to avoid doing bronze glam with my eyeshadows (that’s my go-to as well). Lately I’ve been a big fan of pink/berry tones! 🙂
