You know when you get something new that you really like but you want to save it for a special occasion, but then Mother’s Day comes and goes, your birthday comes and goes, and you realize that if you keep waiting for a big moment to bust it out, you’ll just end up waiting forever, so one day you just go for it and use it on a random Wednesday? Well, I’ve been saving this gorgeous neutral eyeshadow palette from Chanel — which is certifiable Karen makeup crack! — for a special occasion because it’s just SO DANG PRETTY. Simply...

You guys. I ascribe to the philosophy that if you ever feel like your life is spiraling, get your hair situation worked out, and everything will (probably) be OK. Ludicrous? Perhaps.

Desperately seeking a watermelon whisperer! 🍉 (You read that right.) I could easily eat two 20-pound watermelons a week. They’re my favorite summer fruit, but so far this has been the Summer of Junk Watermelon (and yes, that’s “junk” as an adjective, which I think might be a local Hawaii thing), since every one I’ve gotten has been about as flavorful as a dirty Styrofoam cooler. The one I got from Target last week made me the saddest of sad pandas. 🙁 Not only was it at least 60% rind, but the red fruit part was so overripe that it...

I’m partially asking this because I’m always looking for things to add to my “want” list (much to El Hub’s chagrin… I just smile and cackle whenever he says, “Do you really need to buy more makeup?”). 😁 I’m also asking because I’m a nosy noodle, ha ha ha! So, I have a few (several) makeup bags right now, each with different themes. I have a couple bags dedicated to individual brands — one for Chanel things (I refuse to ever throw away), one for MAC, and one for Wander Beauty. Then, there’s a catch-all bag with random items in...
