Saturday Surfing, Aug. 31st, 2019

August 31st, 2019 by Karen 3 Comments

cupcake saturday surfing

Hiya, friend! 😃

OK, listen… I’m all for healthy, balanced meals, but sometimes you just gotta start Saturday with a cupcake.

The one above is a carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting.

Mmm… 🥕🧁

I guess one could argue that the shredded carrot counts as a serving of veggies… Perhaps? Yes? Am I reaching?

I think I may have mentioned this before, but I recently stumbled upon a new career as a toddler chauffeur, and in case you were wondering, no, I don’t get overtime or time-and-a-half on holidays (I wish!).

That said, while I go drive my top customer to a playdate at a local park, here’s a little light reading for you on this sweet Saturday…

  • Got a little extra fun money? Here are 15 Labor Day beauty sales to shop this holiday weekend.
  • My favorite read of the week: To Be Loved, I Had to Let Go of My Makeup.
  • Tortoiseshell eye makeup is a thing.
  • Buzzy direct-to-consumer brands like Glossier are giving the cosmetics giants a run for their money.
  • Poor little things! Multiple infants in Spain developed what they’re calling “werewolf syndrome” after drinking a particular cough syrup.

    • I wish Sir John could do my makeup in the back of my 4Runner.


      When I grow up, I want to be Angela Bassett.


      Can someone do this to my hair please?


      YAAAAS, KWEEN.

      Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

      Karen

    The second link was a good read! And maybe I should do tortoiseshell makeup to match my glasses 🤣

    I just got back from a goth-themed show at the circus gym, so I look a bit silly but I had a good go with the false lashes! Luckily Popeyes and Walgreens didn’t seem to judge me in my sweaty black makeup LOL

    That is quite a scary pharmaceutical mix up in Spain. I’m sure it happens elsewhere but certainly makes you think. And, thank goodness it wasn’t something with permanent damage. I didn’t find “the liver will regenerate” to be very comforting. 🙁

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 three-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my kitty supermodel cat (Tabs).
