Saturday Surfing, Jan. 2, 2021

Happy Saturday 😀

Hi, friend. Happy Saturday! I’m taking extra time to spend with the fam-bam this weekend before the rhythm of regular life returns, so short-and-sweet Saturday Surfing today.

That top pic, by the way, is how we spent our first day of 2021. In the great outdoors! We hiked up to the Fairway Waterfall in Novato along Buck Gulch Trail. It’s a family-friendly, easy hike about 2 miles there and back, so just purrfect for a leisurely stroll.

On this journey, we encountered a fairy garden (moss-covered rocks), an enclave of rock giants (big boulders), a raging river (dry creek bed) and an enchanted waterfall. 😊

  • The inventor of the Clarisonic has come out with a new skin care gadget.

  • What happens when you fall in love with “a cheating cat”? Inquiring minds want to know…

We are Siamese, if you please.


You know I love a good deal.


This looks fun.


We can make it if we try.


A throwback fave!


OK, so now I want a rebounder…

How was your New Years, by the way?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Happy Saturday! That looks like a peaceful hike! I pretty much spent New Years eating and relaxing. Today I did stop by the drugstore and picked up the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (they didn’t have the 16 oz. with the pump, so I picked up the jar).

    Happy Saturday! Hettie and I mostly laid around and read for New Year’s Day,it was really nice and relaxing. I also made nutella cookies. Today she and I took a nice walk to the park – there was freezing rain yesterday but today it was clear. We saw a cute white cat sitting in someone’s window.

    That Teen Vogue article on beauty and protest was really good.

    Looks like a great day! I’m going to have to go with Sign Your Name, though (shoo-doo-wop-bop. Bop-shoo-wop-bop). 😉

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).
