Channel Your Inner Paddington Bear, and Stay Dry During a Deluge in the Eddie Bauer Charly Jacket
Question for you: who wore this yellow coat better — me or Paddington Bear? 🤣 OK, so, the fact that I‘d be able to channel Paddington’s vibe wasn’t the only reason I got this bright yellow waterproof raincoat from Eddie Bauer! (It was one of the main reasons, though. Ha ha ha!). It was also (and still is) marked down 50%, from $189 to $89.50. It’s been pouring off and on for a few days here, and this coat has kept me dry, even without an umbrella. The rain practically rolls off the material (it’s 62% cotton and 38% nylon),...
This Week’s Makeup Inspiration: Cindy Crawford ’90s Supermodel Makeup
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cindy Crawford 💋• (@wonderfulcindy) on Dec 1, 2018 at 2:18pm PST Over the past few days, I’ve probably spent more time that I should readily admit deep-diving into Cindy Crawford’s supermodel days, and I need to say this next bit aloud: Her makeup from the ’90s slays my life. Smoky eye ’til I die, man. Where do I even begin? One could characterize her makeup from that era as “classic,” but COME ON — Cindy Crawford at the height of her supermodel-ness was freaking iconic! I loved her makeup back then,...
Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 600
So…what is the Monday Poll? Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start. 1. Black liquid liner or brown pencil liner? I’m equally passionate about both (hello, Clinique Easy Liner and MAC Coffee), so this is a very difficult choice for me…but I’m going to have to go...
Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 569
Serenity meow! As as I’m sure you’re aware, Tabs was a huge advocate for cat-friendly gardening and creativity-stimulating power walks in the great outdoors. He was also the cat who coined the phrase, “purr-fect zen,” to describe the state of becoming one with your garden… While a lot of cats enjoy hanging out in nature, Tabs actually enjoyed gardening. In fact, he grew and harvested his own salads. Obviously, he also drew feline fashion inspiration from flowers throughout his life. 🌺🌻🌹 Of course, his love affair with nature started early, back when he worked a summer job picking zinnias to...
Saturday Surfing, April 6th, 2019
If your current favorite lipstick fell into the toilet, would you fish it out and keep using it? ASKING FOR A FRIEND. Oh, girlfriend. I had MAC Velvet Teddy, a tube in the LE packaging that matches the color inside, which for some reason gives me so much joy… Anyway, I had it in my back pocket yesterday and sorta forgot about it. I was rushing around right before going to go pick up Coywolf from preschool. Went to the bathroom, and right before I was about to leave, pulled down my stretchy mom jeans, and next thing you know...
