Saturday Surfing, February 22nd, 2020

February 22nd, 2020 by Karen 3 Comments

good morning saturday surfing 022220
Welcome to the weekend

As sunlight 🌞 streams through my window this morning, a sparrow 🐦 outside is cheeping, one of my neighbors is hammering away at something in their garage, and cartoons are playing in the background… I’ve been doing this thing lately where I focus on one of my senses — like hearing! — to stay present and “in the moment,” and I gotta say, the Saturday symphony 🎵 is music to my ears.

How’s your day going, friend? If you haven’t had a hot beverage yet, may I suggest a Honey Citrus Mint Tea from Starbucks? My friend Marisol gave one to me the other day, and it was life-changing! Apparently, it was created by a customer and ended up being so popular that Starbucks added it to the menu.

It tastes like mint, honey, green tea and lemonade, and it’s absolutely DELICIOUS piping hot. Thanks, Marisol, for introducing this blessed elixir into my life!

Now, on to today’s reading…

  • Makeup artist Scott Barnes is busy! He’s known for crafting Jennifer Lopez’s signature glow and has worked with her on several major projects, including doing her makeup for Hustlers and her recent Super Bowl halftime performance.
  • Just in case you were unaware, meow is the purrfect time to bust out that Riesling you’ve been saving for a special occasion, since it’s National Drink Wine With Your Cat 🥂😸 Week! (Apparently, one day wasn’t enough.)
  • Speaking of cats and wine, here are some feline-friendly vino options. I’m thinking Rosie might want to try a “meow-lot,” ha ha ha!
  • Growing up, we ate Filipino food every day. I love all kinds of food, but we always followed my dad’s lead, and all he ever wanted to eat was Filipino food. (I didn’t even try Thai or Japanese until I was 18 and had left home for college!) Anyway, there really wasn’t such a thing as “Filipino restaurants” back then, but now they’re all over the country. Here’s a list of the best 25 Filipino restaurants in the United States.
  • If you happen to be in Washington D.C., you might want to check out this museum dedicated entirely to language and words.
  • There’s a company called Frida that makes postpartum recovery products for moms, and this ad — which for me was a 100% accurate depiction of what it was like after birthing a baby — was rejected by the Oscars for being “too graphic.”


Note to self…


This looks like so much fun.


In college I listened to a lot of Cheryl Crow.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I love that honey citrus mint tea so much I bought the teas and make it at home now! I don’t steam the lemonade, and I use the Costco lemonade – helps so much when I feel like I might be coming down with a bug . . . I’ve turned so many friends on to it, too 🙂

    I think we were all required to listen to a lot of Cheryl Crow in college, lol. Doesn’t she look great? And that dude over to her right looks a little like Jack White from The White Stripes.

    First time finally seeing that postpartum ad that we’d all heard about. It made me so happy!! 💯 accuracy!! 💞 So goofy to have banned it. Ugh.

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).
