5 Things I’ve Been Loving Lately

March 12th, 2021 by Karen 4 Comments

Just a few things floating my boat these days!

1. Whole Foods Four Cheese Thin Crust Pizza

Otherwise known as “Magic Pizza.” If you’re in the mood for easy meals, and/or you’re too tired to deal with the mechanics of cooking dinner, chances are anyone within the perimeter will inhale this cheesy masterpiece. Conner always asks for seconds (sometimes thirds), WHICH SHE NEVER DOES, EVER! I like it too.

YUM!

The cheese marvelously melts like actual, real cheese, and it isn’t too oily. The thin crust feels more substantial than Saltine crackers, too, and the red sauce has some sweetness and very little bite, which is why I think it’s a been a hit here.

2. Paula’s Choice Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid Broad Spectrum SPF 50

Most excellent!

SUPER GOOD. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, layers well under makeup, AND it’s moisturizing. Best of all, it doesn’t leave a visible white cast behind.

3. Odele Leave-In Conditioner

Your mane will thank you and applaud your very existence.

This got me through the most challenging period of crazy pandemic hair. To say that I love it would be an understatement of epic proportions! It does a little bit of everything, and does it all well — smooths frizz, detangles knots, and drenches hair with a deluge of moisture. And it does it all without weighing hair down or heavily coating it with anything.

4. Cat & Jack Stevie Lemon Sneakers

These toddler/kids shoes are super cute in person. They’re sparkly, bright and cheerful. I got a pair for Connor, and she loves them! If there’s a little girl in your life, grab a pair if you can.

5. Lucky Brand Classic One Pocket Shirt


The white button-up (or button-down, if you will) shirt I got recently on sale is 50% off now on the Lucky website! I usually wear a size Small (4 or 6), but I sized up to Medium because I didn’t want to have to deal with the buttons gaping open. I also wanted the option to layer things under or over it without the arms feeling too tight.

It’s more of a casual than a dressy white shirt, which is what I wanted too. I love it!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. TGIF! 🙂

    I have that very pizza waiting for me in my freezer for dinner tonight! I’m thinking of topping it with some artichokes and olives I have left over from some pasta I made this week.

    Five things:
    1. Beautiful early spring Atlanta weather.
    2. And related…after work walks on my favorite trail.
    3. Kosas cloud set powder
    4. French Girl Organics le lip tint
    5. Yoga with Adriene’s Core Power Wake Up. Now, I don’t always love doing this…but I do love how I feel when I’m finished!

    Those shoes are too cute! Target has some adorable baby and kid gear.

    That IS a good pie. Do you ever put honey on your pizza?

    I’m loving my new Nudestix concealer and bronzer. Wacharee’sThai coconut curry sauce, matte nail polish topcoat, and googling for cute sun hats.

    I prefer the pizza with the thick crust, but as long as there is lots and lots of cheese involved, I´m in,

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).
