Just some snapshots of life right meow!
I’m weeks behind on brush washing. No, seriously. WEEKS. ?
My happy baby first thing in the morning.
The best big kitty brother a girl could ask for!
I bought these strawberries at TJ’s and DAYUM. They’re quite possibly the best strawberries I’ve ever eaten! ???
Speaking of fruit, I like it when you get a piece from the store and there’s a leaf still attached to the stem.
I spend 75% of my day with these weird clips in my hair.
The rest of the time is spent with this stuffed cat in a stroller. LOL!
I got the new Nylon in the mail the other day, and this pic of Debbie Harry on the cover is everything. She’s wearing metallic shadow. YES!
I’m always taking pictures of pictures, it seems.
All about that hat life…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Yelena says
ah I love this post!
and l love love love your photography style!
Karen says
Thanks, Yelena! I’m trying to take more pics throughout my day. Am hoping to add more up in the mix.
How have you been? Good, I hope!
Chelsea says
The stuffed cat in the stroller kills me. I love it so much. I can’t believe how big Connor Claire is getting, and her hair is getting long too! Nice of big brother Tabs to babysit.
Karen says
LOL, me too. I swear putting him in the stroller was Connor Claire’s idea! 🙂
I hope things on your end are great. I’m so glad tomorrow is Friday because on Saturday I’m going to meet some friends in the city for dim sum and a show (Roman Holiday). What are you up to this weekend?
Chelsea says
I’m in a student showcase at the circus school Saturday night, and dress rehearsal is Friday night, so that will be a lot of my time! I’m hula hooping and am also in a group contortion routine with my friends where the premise is that we’re terrestrial synchronized swimming.
Karen says
Oh how cool! I think performing is good for the soul. Break a leg at the showcase on Saturday. Do you have your makeup planned out yet? (Please tell me false lashes are up in the mix.)
Chelsea says
So I’m getting an Ulta order today with a new lipstick I’ll probably wear – Maybelline Color Sensational Matte Metallic in Hot Lava I think, bright red. I also have some Unicorn Snot glitter lip gloss I’ll use on top. I’m sure I’ll use it as an excuse for false lashes. Probably big winged out liner, a relatively nude eye, maybe some gold or glitter. Both costumes are a little retro, so it’ll work. I have flower hair clips in red and yellow.
I’ll be pampering earlier in the day – masking, hair treatment, and I reaaaaaally need to paint my toenails.
We’re doing an outdoor show in July too!
Karen says
Nice! You can never go wrong with a red lip and winged liner.
(You’re not the only one who desperately needs a pedicure!)
For the outdoor show, you’ll need some sweat proof or long-wearing makeup!
Chelsea says
So I’m actually really talented at sweat proof makeup because I used to take a medication that caused ridiculous face sweating to the extent I’d get heat rashes all the time. I’m a heavy sweater even without that though. Facial antiperspirant is the key! I’ve used it on brides too. It’s probably not good for all the time, but it’s a life-saver. There’s a brand called Neat 3B Face Saver that’s really good. And then the normal using primers, powdering (the theater makeup brands often have powder with antiperspirant properties), waterproof ish.
Karen says
I’ll have to remember the facial antiperspirant trick next time I have an event to go to! Thank you!
LindaLibraLoca says
Connor seriously looks so cute! But why the clips? Growing bangs?
Karen says
Yup, I’ve been growing them out for months now.
Kim says
Connor is just the cutest. 🙂
Karen says
She’s getting so big! Seems like only yesterday when she was my teeny, tiny teacup baby.

Be careful with TJ”s “organic” strawberries (especially with the Driscoll’s label). I bought some a few weeks ago, then bought some real organic strawberries at the farmer’s market. The farmer’s market ones were eaten very quickly …. forgot about the TJ’s ones …. a week and a half later, the TJ’s “organic” strawberries are still “fresh.” Not sure how organic they really are …. just sayin’ …. Buyer beware!
GlossBerry says
So adorable Karen!
But really, I am always amazed at how productive you are and how much stuff you are able to do with a baby around the house all day! HOW???
my little one is in the kindergarten during the day while I am at work, but on weekends if I need some time for hobbies (like blogging) I barely have time when she’s asleep and that doesn’t happen often during the day.. So yay for you! and also – enjoy Hawaii!
So – amazing!

I can’t even get started on how behind I am on washing my brushes =\ Randomly I’ll wash like… 5… and feel accomplished… like if I do 5 a day I’ll make something of myself… but 5 a day doesn’t mean SQUAT if you’re using 6+ to do your makeup lmao
