Good morning, sweet girl. This pink pouch looks exactly how I feel when I wake up in the morning and my stomach is rumbling. šŸ‘¹ And this black one is making a face similar to mine when Iā€™m walking into a store and hold the door open for the person behind me and they donā€™t say thank you or even make eye contact. šŸ˜’ Ha ha ha! I saw these at Target in the school supplies section. Theyā€™d be cute makeup bags, donā€™t you think? On to this weekendā€™s readingā€¦ Many devoted ā€œdance dadsā€ across the country support their kids...

Yesterday was a day of more firsts on this trip. Like, Connor and I saw our first rainbow (of the trip), and we seriously lost our damn minds. Rainbows, man. No matter what age you are, they never get old. Yesterday was also the first time Iā€™ve ever been to the Honolulu Zoo. El Hub grew up here, though, and he went all the time when he was a little keiki, but it was also his first time going in decades. I highly recommend doing the zoo if you visit Oahu with young children or toddlers! Itā€™s right at the...

Iā€™ve had this on my mind since my buddy Yelena and I were chatting in the comments last week about the stuff of our makeup nightmares. Yelenaā€™s is a world without brow products, and yeahā€¦I have to admit, that would be pretty crappy, especially for my right brow, a.k.a. my ā€œghost brow,ā€ a.k.a. the brow that disappears into oblivion. My makeup nightmare scenario, however, is a world without every single option under the sun for glowing skin, because I canā€™t imagine my foundation drawer with, like, only one option! *shudders* Some days I want a little shimmer; some days I...

Do I mind if my makeup feels heavy? Hmmā€¦ Yes and no. Iā€™m not as accustomed to wearing ALL. THE. THINGS. on my face as I once was. I mean, four or five years ago, when Iā€™d contour my nose just to go to Trader Joeā€™s to buy bread, I reveled in my multi-step process, but I had more time. Heck, I remember my base alone would take a minimum of seven products, and that was not including bronzer, highlighter and blush. OMG! It was intense. Granted, I thought it looked great in pics, and I loved doing it, but...

Tell me everything! And please also mention your skin type and skin shade. Iā€™m partially writing this post because Iā€™m trying to talk myself out of ALL. THE. FOUNDATIONS. on my Sephora VIB sale wish list right now. Overall, though, Iā€™m happy with my current base makeup sitch, but you know how it is when youā€™re a makeup junkieā€¦ Iā€™m always hoping to find something new to love right around the corner. Iā€™m also partially writing this post because Iā€™m hella nosy, haha. šŸ™‚ And this is the closest I can get to actually peeking inside your makeup bag. #truth...
