You’re going to have a great day, beautiful girl!

Szóval … mi a hétfői szavazás?

Kiváló kérdés! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. Ez csak öt vagy kevesebb véletlenszerű kérdések listája, amelyeket hétfőn reggel küldtem ezen a blogon az elmúlt évadban (2007 óta). Szeretem a válaszokat olvasni, és segít nekem, hogy jó kezdetre kapjam a hétemet.

1. What are you most excited about at this current moment?

LOL, don’t laugh, but I can’t wait to go out to eat at an actual restaurant again and not have to wear a hazmat suit. who knows when it’ll be, but I’m so looking forward to it.

Ooh! — I hope it’ll be sushi. The flavors are totally out of my everyday wheelhouse.

2. What beauty item are you most excited about right now?

The old-school MAC eyeliners. I’ve been having a moment with Teddy, Prunella, Powersurge and Costa Riche. I think I’m going to use them all in single eyeshadow looks this week… got the wheels in my mind a-turning…

3. Where do you feel most at home?

Our current home here in Novato. Mind you, it took a while to feel this way. For a couple years after we moved here, whenever I’d drive by my old exit on highway 101 in Mill Valley, I’d always feel like, “Oh, that’s where I live. That’s where my home is,” but now Novato feels like my home.

4. What’s the best part about the place you live?

How friendly the people are. It really does have a small town feel to it, for the most part, and people are genuinely friendly. For instance, when you’re walking into a store at the mall, the person in front of you will smile and hold the door open for you, and the cashiers will smile and make small talk. Strangers you pass on the sidewalk make eye contact and say “Good morning,” and things like that.

I mean, there’s always crabby people wherever you go, right? but for the most part, the people you run into here will look at you and smile (even underneath their mask!).

5. What’s the worst part about the place you live?

Épp most? Wildfire season. Being on alert and constantly prepared to evacuate or have the power go out for days at a time every summer and fall is…getting old. I also wish Novato had more diversity. There were more people from different backgrounds and cultures where I grew up in the east Bay, and I do miss that.

6. A beauty item you recommend to everyone?

A lash curler, girlfriend! I’m a big an of the Surratt one.

7. If there’s one instrument you could listen to for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I’ll tell you this much, it’s not going to be the tuba. It does absolutely nothing for my soul! Sorry, tuba players.

I would pick the piano.You’ve got the treble clef and the bass clef, and you can easily play a variety of musical genres with it.

8. What was the last emoji you remember using?

The three stars! I’ve been going a little crazy with it lately.

9. San Francisco or Los Angeles?

SF for sure.

fall is a berry good time to wear dark berry lips!
Hiya! On this stop on our tour of MAC eyeliner greatest Hits is Prunella! AHHH!

In my opinion, it is one of the very best things in the entire MAC world.

HIRDETÉS

Bumm. There, I said.

In a nutshell, it’s a purple eyeliner…but not just any purple liner. It’s a deep blackened plum with a hint of shine to softly define your lash and water lines in ways a basic black liner just can’t do.

I’m wearing Prunella here as a one-and-done lid and lash line color. It’s a little smoked out and a little smudgy, which is my favorite way to wear it.

Prunella is a perfect perennial product, but I think it kicks major rear in fall when it’s paired with berry lipsticks, and it turns out that there are two terrific new berry shades in the MAC Powderkiss liquid Lipcolour fam. here I’m wearing got a Callback, a mid-toned berry mauve; and Burning Love, a straight-up berry. Both have a soft matte finish that complements Prunella’s soft shine well.

MAC got a Callback
MAC Burning Love
Fall vibes: MAC Powderkiss liquid Lipsticks in Burning love (a berry) and got a Callback (a mid-toned mauve berry)
And because I can’t resist wearing pink lips with everything (!), I threw on a pink lip to see how it would look with these eyes… definitely skews the makeup to a springier vibe.

If you’re into the pink, FYI, it’s Charlotte Tilbury’s iconic pillow Talk lip liner and lipstick topped with hourglass Fever lipgloss.

Speaking of Charlotte Tilbury, if you’re in a “bougie blush mood” (because they happen, LOL!), I highly suggest checking out her Ecstasy blush. It’s the one with a peachy outer ring and a pink inner ring. When you blend the two together, you get this perfect balance of a neutral pink with a slightly warm peach. It’s not too warm or cool, and it goes surprisingly well with most looks — especially plummy and purple lids and lips like this.

Just Prunella on my lids, babe!

1. Vanilla notes (and Lancôme La Vie Est Belle and Idôle)

Isn’t the smell of vanilla so comforting and cozy? I’ve been feelin’ vanilla lately but haven’t wanted to wear anything that smells too much like vanilla. I just want something a little bit vanilla. Like, as much as I love baking, I don’t necessarily want to walk around smelling like cake batter or Play-Doh. You know what I’m sayin’?

Lancôme La Vie Est Belle and Idôle recently caught my nose eye because both have notes of vanilla.

HIRDETÉS

SZERELEM
La Vie Est Belle is a warm gourmand scent (a.k.a. a foodie fragrance!) with vanilla, iris (YES), patchouli and praline notes, and Idôle is a floral with notes of citrus, rose, jasmine and white musk layered over a vanilla base.

I hadn’t smelled them in person before they arrived at my doorstep, and I don’t know if it was just dumb perfume luck, but I love them! The vanilla is there, but it’s subtle, and both scents are so feminine and long-lasting, too.

I’ve been telling everyone I know who loves perfume about them!

2. Casabella Waterblock Gloves

Your paws (and your manicure) will thank you.
You know you’ve crossed into the land of “Adulting really Hard” when you have a favorite pair of cleaning gloves…but hey, I’ve tried every single brand under the sun, so let me just save you from a lifetime of cleaning glove misery — the Casabellas are THE BEST.

They’re the thickest ones I’ve found, so they’re strong and don’t fall apart quickly. I hand wash my dishes in very hot water, and a pair of this will last a good six months, whereas the other cheaper, thinner gloves might last three months, tops.

The Casabellas are also longer up the sleeve than a lot of cleaning gloves, so less water and soap drips into your gloves, which is NOT my favorite thing. These keep my hands and arms dry, dry, dry!

They also have a helpful lip at the end of the glove, which also stops water from sneaking in as well.

I gotten this pair at a local hardware and gardening store called Friedman’s up in Petaluma, but they’re also available online.

3. The chalk drawings on the sidewalk in front of Trader Joe’s

Chalk art!
It’s all about the little things, right? When I’m standing outside in line, waiting to shop at Trader Joe’s in the socially distanced line — which is never really that long; five minutes at the most — they have these chalk drawings on the sidewalk to tell people where to stand. The drawings are either a pleasant play on words or some sort of seasonally-related scribble like these pumpkins. I appreciate that little touch because it gives me something to look at while I’m waiting. always brings a smile to my face.

So thank you to whoever does these drawings every single week… You’re such a treasure!

4. colorful bowls from Costco

I gotten this set of incredibly shiny bowls on a whim last weekend, and I loooove them. The brand is Laurie Gates, and you get six stoneware ceramic bowls for $21.
We’ve been using them for soup, pasta, cereal — seriously, everything. You could probably even use them as serving bowls.

The outside of the bowls are all the same beautiful beige color, but when you look inside, each bowl has a different color and pattern. everyone in our family has already picked out their favorite. Connor loves the red one, I love the green one, and El Hub loves the blue one… They’re all incredibly cute and fit nicely in my hand.

Oh! — and they’re also deep, but not obnoxiously deep, so when I’m eating cereal or soup, liquid is less likely to splash over the edge.

5. cleaning ideas from Vanesa at Amaros cleaning on Instagram

MIND BLOWN! Vanesa and her husband run their own housekeeping company in Texas, and she shares very helpful ideas and shortcuts on how professionals clean appliances, surfaces and areas of a home. I’ve learned so much from her feed, and yes, I used the vacuum idea to clean my stove the other day and it absolutely worked!

Sok ember azt gondolta, hogy a lapok csak ez az édes, jó megjelenésű, könnyű macska, a Novato legnagyobb macska kávézó tulajdonosa és egy díjnyertes Kitty modellező szupersztár.

És ő volt! Mindezek voltak a dolgok, de Grizzly Bear is volt, amikor néhány dologra vonatkozik, mint a vezetés. Egyszerűen tegye, nem volt jó autómacska. Utaszkodott az utasülésen. Gyűlölte, hogy bárhol süllyedt.

HIRDETÉS

Amit akarta, hogy a kerék mögött legyen (mert ellenőrző freak) …

Ellenőrizte az összes gépkocsiját, mint egy pilóta megvizsgálja a síkját. Ellenőrizte a fékeket, megváltoztatta az olajat, és megbizonyosodott róla, hogy minden autó gyűjteményében mindig csúcsa alakú volt.

Nem csak szeretett, hogy pózoljon és utazzon, kert és enni mártást. Ő is szerette az életet a gyors sávban.

A legfontosabb, hogy úgy tetszett, hogy irányítsa a saját sorsát. Mindig a kerék mögött akart lenni, és zavarta, amikor az utasnak kellett lennie, még akkor is, ha egy limuzin hátsó ülésén volt.

HIRDETÉS

Mover és rázó volt, és egy nagy üzletember. Egy igazi ördög-május-gondozás macska.

5 sheer foundations to Ace Your WFH Base

Lancôme Skin feels good Hydrating Skin Tint healthy Glow: Ultra lightweight with a demi-matte finish; looks great in person and in pics.

MAC face and Body Foundation: the most natural-looking of all the sheer bases, and it’s long-lasting too. I kid you not, skin still looks like skin when you wear this.

first aid charm Ultra repair tinted Moisturizer: A beautiful satiny finish with medium coverage! Plus, it blurs pores.

It Cosmetics Your Skin but better foundation + Skincare: this one is also medium coverage, but the finish is closer to matte than the others. The barely-there formula practically feels like water.

MAC studio fix Soft Matte foundation Stick: this one is SO easy to blend and has a gentle, soft matte finish. in some cases I like layering this on top of face and Body.

Thoughts on looking good and feeling good

Most of the time, when we look good, we feel good. I heard something along these lines recently in a fashion video (it was about how not to look “frumpy,” in case you’re curious), and it talked to me.

At the beginning, Erin, the host of the show, says…

“We’re talking about how the way you look affects the way that you feel, affects everything in your life. When you’re looking good, you will feel better. You will feel great. You will have much more to give everybody else.”

This struck a chord with me, because whenever I have something to give — whether it be my time, energy, money, love, etc. — I always give what I have to my friends and family, which I’m always pleased to do, but what I hadn’t realized, though, is that the strain of the past year has left me with very little (or rather, zero) leftover “oomph” for myself, and it’s been slowly chipping away at my confidence. My proverbial well is bone dry.

Lately, I can feel myself getting dangerously close to the point where one rolls out of bed one day and stays in the same crusty pajamas for two weeks straight.

I think a part of it is my hair, to be honest. I haven’t had a cut in much more than a year, and it’s been bothering me. I haven’t wanted to do anything with it lately, because it’s practically impossible to wrangle it into any sort of workable style. That frustration then leads to me saying, “well, f*ck it,” to everything else. Why bother putting on sunscreen or mascara when none of it feels fun?

This cat looks like how I feel in the mornings lately…
Oh, and forget about getting correctly dressed, because nobody will notice if my t-shirt is inside out or backwards — not even the people I live with, and I know this because it’s happened several times.

Because I haven’t really spoke with anybody in person lately, unless it’s the occasional curt one- or two-minute conversation with the sales associate in the checkout line at Petco, or a brief in-passing conversation at preschool dropoff, I in some cases find myself wondering, “Why do I even keep trying?”

The funny thing is, logically I know that 1) this is all temporary, and 2) what’s mostly bothering me is exterior stuff. It’s all frosting, and not the cake, which is something I tell Connor all the time. I know in the grand scheme of things that the outside stuff is frippery. I’m 100% aware that what’s on the outside does not identify my worth on the inside.

You know I had to do it.
Yet…when I look in the mirror and see myself looking sloppy or unkept, even when I remind myself that the exterior stuff isn’t everything, and all the best stuff is on the inside, I still feel yucky.

People often say that the first step to helping yourself is being able to admit that you need help, and viewing that video made me realize that I need a little help.

So, here I am, gently reminding myself that doing the things that make me feel good are not a trivial burden. brushing my hair, putting on sunscreen in the morning, and curling my lashes — these are all good things, and they are worth the effort, because when I look good, I feel good, and I will have much more to give.

Oh, and another gentle note to self: it really doesn’t have to be hard. The effort does not have to be Herculean.

For the last few nights, best before bed, I’ve been setting out a bottle of one of the sheer bases noted above, along with a lash curler, a mascara, a brow pencil, blush and a lipstick, and I make sure to put on makeup first thing in the morning.

Surprise, surprise! — I’ve been feeling a little better because I started doing this, and my plan for the next few days is to do the same tomorrow, and the next day, and tKövetkező ….

Ó, és korábban ezen a héten vásároltam magam néhány ruhát először … Nem is emlékszem, hogy mennyi ideig.

Azt is találtam egy stilist, aki kültéri vágásokat végez. Ne feledje, még nem foglaltam el egy találkozót a vírus és a whatnot miatt. Még mindig ideges vagyok a pandémiáról, de legalább tudom, hogy amikor készen állok, ott lesz, és ez egy ilyen mentális megkönnyebbülés.

Különben is, ez az, ami velem folyik. Köszönöm a hallgatást, és azon a megjegyzésen …

Kutatási tanulmánya az éghajlatváltozás módosítására irányított egy megdöbbentő felfedezésre. Az emberek és a macskák nem az egyetlenek az éghajlatváltozás veszélyében. A pulykák is! – Amellett, hogy hamarabb vagy később, hogy a macskák hatalmas kérdése.

Rosie megértette, hogy valamit kell tennie róla, ezért a Tabs rakéta-innovációján alakult ki, hogy egy űrhajót készítsen, amely képes nagy számú pulykát küldeni a térre. Így, még akkor is, ha a Föld lelkesedik, a pulykák a Marson, és ennek eredményeként az éhes macskáknak még mindig van valami, ami előre nézz.

A terv még mindig ki van kapcsolva, de itt van a lényege: A Rosie által vezetett macskák egy csoportja 500 Törökország önkénteset küld a Marsnak. Ha ott fognak dolgozni a Martian környezetben, valamint a fenntartható Törökország közösség kialakítását.

Szeretem festeni a körmöket a hétvégén, és egy hétig ugyanazt a színt tartja, így ez az ötlet abszolút fúj az elmém. Nem vagyok a célpiac, lol!

Úgy tetszik az igazság, hogy a lengyel olyan gyorsan szárad, de nem látom magamnak a mani-t többször is a héten, még akkor is, ha kevesebb, mint öt percet vesz igénybe.

Feltételezem, hogy ez forradalmár lehet, ha te vagy az a fajta ember, aki Antsy-t kap, látja a pontosan ugyanazt az árnyékot a körmökön! Van egy jó barátom, aki gyakran átkapcsolja a körömlakkot, és így vonzónak láthatom azoknak, akik nem szeretik a pontosan ugyanazt az árnyékot.
