Saturday Surfing, January 11th, 2020

January 11th, 2020 by Karen 5 Comments

Hiking the trail to see the waterfall at the Indian Valley Open Space Preserve is one of my favorite things to do this time of year!

Hi, and happy Caturday, sweet girl! I read somewhere recently that you should spend at least one day a month outside. In nature. And you know what? Today is that day for me. There’s a trail here in Novato that leads to a small waterfall, and despite TLC’s fervent admonitions, I’m going to chase it. 🤗


Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.

It’s time for Saturday Surfing… 😊

  • If you’d like to level-up your CCL status, may I suggest crafting your favorite feline’s very own GoT throne? 😸
  • Go ahead, adopt that third cat (otherwise known as “the gateway cat”), because science says that being a cat lady is good for your health!
  • The best rendition of Van Gough’s Starry Night I’ve ever seen. (Side note: It may or may not involve multiple curvaceous orange tabbies.)
  • Be on the lookout for the Opte, a handheld inkjet printer for your face, which prints tiny amounts of pigment on your face to cover every dark spot — freckles, scars and hyperpigmentation, and even the ones you can’t see (Blue LED lights help the camera locate tiny dark spots the human eye might miss). It launches this summer for a cool $600.
  • Speaking of gadgets, L’Oréal has a smart device that creates custom formulas for lipstick, foundation and skin care.

  • Sara Blakely, founder and CEO of Spanx, on learning to redefine what failure means


    You cannot look away.


    Years ago Marc did my makeup, and he’s still one of my fave artists!


    Pretty sure this is what went down when Tabs rolled up into kitty heaven.

    Have a wonderful weekend. I hope yours is off to a great start. 😊

    Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

    Karen

    I love that fat orange cat! And the orange tabby Starry Night! 😻 Zack said I can get a second cat if I move us to Montreal to be more of a cat lady.

    Have fun chasing waterfalls! I went to aerial this morning and I am TIRED. Bad weather in Michigan this weekend so we’ll mostly be holed up.

    Haha, “gateway cat” you slay me!

    Speaking of cats, some time back I told you to check out that new show on Hulu—Dollface. You must lmk if you watch.

    I’m having lovely weekend. 50 today but a bit of an ice storm coming tomorrow, which is really bad. But I think we’re pretty stocked on provisions. 🙂

    OMG – the gateway cat! 😂😂😂. Three was always my limit then we lost one and my husband went to pick up our new ginger tabby kitten and also came home with her sister! (He didn’t want the sister to be all alone 🤦‍♀️). Fast forward 6 years and we now have 5! I will say that 2 kittens were the best entertainment ever! They were so funny and are each other’s bestie- snuggling and sleeping together. However about 6 months after we got them he looked at me and said ‘we could have these 2 clowns until we hit 60’ 😂😂😂. I wouldn’t trade them for the world

    That throne is awesome! Knowing my cats they would ignore all my hard work and just lay on the random cardboard pieces. 🙂

    I actually have a couple of random Amazon in my living room because Louis and Billy love sleeping in them. Cat lady decor!

    That waterfall is so pretty! That’s awesome that such a beautiful area is right in your city.

    Hope you’re having a great day!

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).
