5 Things I’ve Been Loving Lately

November 24th, 2020 by Karen 9 Comments

Bodysuits

I like to call these tops “adult onesies” because they really do look like oversized baby clothes to me (hahaha!). They’re supposed to help petite ladies look taller and slimmer because they let you to tuck in your shirt (a tried-and-true trick to look taller). I haven’t worn one since 1995, but now I really, really want one.

I’m waiting on this bodysuit by Reformation to go on sale!

Fruit salad

Why is precut fruit so satisfying? I have no idea. I’ve been doing this lately: peeling and cutting fruit, then tossing it into a big Tupperware so the fambam can just grab a cup or a bowl whenever.

It’s been a next-level life upgrade, LOL! I like to do a different fruit mix each time I make one, and sometimes I’ll even throw in some canned fruit, like canned mandarin oranges or peaches, to keep things interesting. One VITAL item of note: the fruit absolutely must be cut into uniform, similarly-sized pieces, because I short-circuit when some pieces are big and some are small! (Am I the only person who’s particular about this?)

Ah, take me back to summer!

This 30 minute low-impact workout by Caroline Girvan

OH, girlfriend, this low-impact workout has absolutely no jumping, but when I’m done I’m dripping in sweat totally spent. It’s 30 minutes of steady state cardio, which means that you transition from one movement to the next without any breaks between them, but the moves incorporate big muscle groups, so you’re constantly working everything. It’s brutal, but in the best possible way.

Janod Wooden Toys

Janod also makes a large range of timeless, cute wooden toys for children, and they seem well constructed. I found out about them when I saw this about wooden beauty products at Barnes & Noble. Isn’t it cute?!

So cute!

The Daydreamer Kit by Wander Beauty ($49)

Because of #masklife, when I put on makeup to run errands, I do my eyes and pretty much nothing else! This set has practically everything you could want/need for fresh, glowing lids — two long-wearing cream shadows in neutral colors (bronze and champagne), a lengthening and curling mascara, a black liquid liner and a highlighter with low-level shine. All you have to add is your favorite brow pencil and concealer!

    I highly recommend Uniqlo Heattech bodysuits, and they’re super affordable. (Search “body suit” with a space on the web site — it doesn’t come up if you leave the space out.)

    Bought a couple of body suits last year and returned them all. Didn’t really feel comfortable to wear for me. I just tuck my regular shirts in, no problem.
    Because of that I’ve never tried the Uniqlo Heattech bodysuits Eileen recommends. But I can attest that Uniqlo Heattech clothes are some of the warmest and most comfortable clothes for winter. And I’m talking Japanese winter, which is colder than in CA. And many traditional homes in Japan do not have central heat and heattech clothes definitely help to keep you warm. That and wool socks.
    So if you run cold in the winter time (or your Dear Husband like mine keeps the thermostat set at 61F or below) it’s worth checking out.

      I’m going to put those on my list! I run cold during the winter so it sounds perfect!

    I will try this workout. The no jumping part appeals to me. I’m loving Danny Cash coconut ghost pepper hot sauce. The tv series Fargo, peppermint tea to chill at night and the snow we got today in Colorado!

    My question with bodysuits is – how on earth do you go to the bathroom in them?! Do they have a fastening on the bottom like babies onesies, or do you have to get undressed each time??

      They have snaps in the crotch area just like a baby onesie, LOL!

    I struggle with bodysuits because I have a really long torso, but they can be so cute!

    I’m wearing mostly leggings since I’m working from home and the main reason I leave the house is for dog-walking. I picked up some fleece leggings because it’s definitely getting cold here, and I ordered a new winter coat. I bought Hettie some little dog boots to protect her feet. She is skeptical but she’ll do anything to go on a walk.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
