feeling like an ahrr-teest
I’ve had painting on the brain lately for two reasons — one, since I’ve been costs virtually every totally free moment at house Depot since we’re planning some much-needed repair work as well as updates to the home this summer, including painting the location from top to bottom, since when El Hub as well as I bought our location as well as moved in about a decade ago, we had no concept what we were doing. We were first-time homeowners, as well as the whole process was (and still is kinda) a mystery. We painted the interior with a flat finish, however flat surface is not your buddy when you online with a young child and/or a perpetually ravenous tabby who eats with reckless abandon as well as gets gravy splashes on the walls. choose eggshell, homie. Eggshell is the way! It’s so much simpler to clean.

The second reason I’ve had painting on the brain lately is since of the new MAC eL Seed collection, which is coming out in a few days. It’s one of those LE releases that just feels so artsy to me, which I assumption makes sense because it’s a partnership with an artist. eL Seed is a Tunisian graffiti artist who was increased in Paris, as well as he’s well-known for integrating Arabic script with graffiti.

They look like legitimate painter’s brushes to me.

I was doing makeup with them the other day as well as got to believing about exactly how I fail to remember all the time that makeup truly *is* painting. When you believe about it, it’s so much like what painters do when they put clean to canvas. You’ve got your pigments as well as paint, as well as when you sit down to buff as well as blend whatever on the blank canvas that is your face, you paint a short-term work of art. It’s so cool!

Funny thing is, I never truly believed of myself as an “art person.” When I was in high school, I was in band as well as played every instrument under the sun, so I was a overall music nerd, as well as I was likewise on the newspaper, however the last true art class I took was in eighth grade (which I got a B+ in, by the way!). That’s the prolong of my art training.

Swatches of the Cicero full deal with set (the two pink shades are blushes) as well as three of the Lipsticks — Declaring like (pink), Maya La Belle (red) as well as Une Caresse (plummy brown)
So I don’t believe of myself as an artist, however makeup is art! For a few minutes (almost) every day, as I’m painting my lids as well as my lips as well as whatever else, I get to be in touch with my inner eighth-grade artist, or rather, ahr-teest.

Cicero full deal with set ($66), Lipsticks ($19.50 each) as well as the clean Bag set ($49.50)

Maya La Belle (a matte bright orangey red), Declaring like (a matte, bright awesome pink) as well as Une Caresse (a matte, cool, filthy plum brown)

And you understand what else is very cool? There’s so much flexibility in makeup as art. We can utilize as much color or as bit as we want, depending upon exactly how we feel that day. We can go subtle, or we can go bold, as well as the next morning, the canvas is blank once again as well as prepared to opt for one more piece of daily art that we get to show the world.

Did this in 20 minutes!

To think, we have that much flexibility to reveal ourselves, as well as the possibilities are endless!

Today’s 20-minute makeup look
Working at the bakery has been such a blessing in so lots of ways, makeup and otherwise. I’ve been learning so lots of new things, and the loneliness I’ve felt for a long time is finally starting to leave.

In terms of makeup, though, my goodness! — the 15-minute window I typically have now to don my face paint in the mornings has been the catalyst for all manner of shortcuts.

MAINOS

Like these three powerful tricks you can use when you want to do quick, colorful makeup (but don’t have a lot of time). I used them for to do bronze, green and gold eye look (paired with pink cheeks and a matte nude-pink lip), which I wore to the bakery yesterday…

The color palette!
YER SO CLOSE.
Tip No. 1: Intensify and extend the wear time of your eyeshadow by using a long-wearing pencil liner as a base

This is one of the speediest ways I know to 1) get your eyeshadow to last longer, and 2) to amplify the intensity of your shadows to make them look brighter and richer.

For this, you want to use a liner that sets relatively quickly…like in less than 30 seconds. I love the urban Decay 24/7 Glide-Ons because they come in tons of colors and finishes. And, because they dry very quickly, I’m forced to work fast!

Note: When you’re using a quick-drying pencil liner as a base, your best friend is a stiff (but still soft) synthetic brush, ideally something with a slightly domed tip, like the real techniques Domed shadow Brush.

Synthetic bristles tend to be a lot more rigid than natural bristles, so you can push and blend that liner and tell it where to go, like ideal MEOW!

In the look I wore yesterday, I wore urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Smog as a base. I roughly drew a few fatty-bo-batty messy lines all over my lids, and then I took the real techniques brush and buffed the liner into a thin, even layer.

Then, I applied warm browns and bronzes from the new urban Decay On the Run palette in G Train.

Tip No. 2: use an angled brush to line your eyes with the darkest shade from your favorite eyeshadow palette

Not only is lining with an eyeshadow and angled brush incredibly speedy, but it’s also forgiving, so you can make mistakes and nobody will even realize it!

Note: If you want the most room for error, keep the brush head dry for a soft and diffused line.

You can also wet your brush head with a setting spray to dial up the richness of the color, but FYI, it’s not as forgiving as a dry application.

For the upper lash liner in the look I wore yesterday, I wet a NARS 47 brush with MAC Fix+, then dipped it into the darkest shade from the G Train palette — tunnel (a matte warm reddish brown).

Tip No. 3: Dial up the coverage of your foundation by mixing in a few drops of concealer

Save yourself a step and mix your concealer directly into your foundation to get extra coverage *and* to apply your base products quickly.

MAINOS

If you have the time, gently buff everything down with a skunk brush to blend your base and remove any excess product.

Everything worn in this look…

Products worn in this look:

Eyes: urban Decay On the Run palette in G Train, UD 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in Smog and Mildew, It Cosmetics incredibly Hero Mascara, urban Decay Brow Blade in Dark Drapes

Waaay back in 2013 when NARS introduced the Radiant Creamy Concealers, they were revolutionary, however there were only 10 of them. They had great deals of pigment as well as a spectacular satin surface that covered whatever — dark circles, blemishes, feline scratches on your cheeks (which, yes, I can attest to from personal experience). They covered EVERYTHING, as well as they shook up the makeup world.

Since then, so many other brands have come out with their own full-coverage, mousse-y concealer thangs (see: metropolitan Decay as well as Kevyn Aucoin).

I understand a great deal of people who like utilizing Radiant Creamy Concealer to hide dark circles, as well as I desire I liked it for that too, however it settles into my fine lines after a few hours, so I primarily utilize (and like utilizing them!) as an alternate to foundation.

For all-day natural-looking medium coverage, I like to mix a teeny, small amount of Ginger as well as Caramel (two of the old-school shades) with either MAC Strobe cream or BECCA Backlight to thin them out a little. then I pat that on my cheeks as well as around my nose with my fingers.

Bomb-@ss banana bread

It’s not just that I’ve been on a baking kick, however these banana bread loaves basically *had* to happen. since you understand exactly how it goes… I had a whole lot of firm, somewhat eco-friendly bananas (I like ’em somewhat eco-friendly still). then I blinked as well as BOOM! — they were overripe, mottled yellow, soft as well as brown.

So I did some late-night baking last night, which for me means 8:30, haha! I complied with a recipe I discovered on brown Eyed Baker.

I wished to try the recipe since it’s called Grandma’s Banana Bread, as well as if it’s grandma’s go-to, it’s gotta be good, right?

And ya know, it is! It turned out quite darned good! It’s moist, light as well as melt-in-your-mouth fluffy. Not as dense as banana bread is sometimes. as well as I didn’t even requirement a mixer or anything (I just utilized a whisk, three bowls as well as two loaf pans).

I did make one slight adjustment to the recipe, though… The recipe requires a cup of chopped walnuts, however I only had routine walnuts, as well as only sufficient for a half cup, so I likewise utilized some glazed walnuts with bourbon barrel aged maple syrup that I got at TJ’s.

I believed they’d make the bread as well sweet, however they didn’t. They just added a hint of subtle sweetness (I believe I’m gonna utilize more glazed nuts in the future!).

By the way, one of the reasons I such as this bread is that it isn’t supmakea. Resepti vaatii vain yhden kupin sokeria jakautuu kahden leivän välillä, joten se ei todellakaan ole yksi niistä sokerista ihmeellisistä banaanileipäistä, jotka tekevät hampaista satuttaa.

I Dunno … Käytin olla erittäin aggressiivinen ihana hammas, samoin kuin vielä joskus, mutta se ei ole mitään sellaista kuin se hyödynnetään. Kuten, minulla oli viipale Costco juustokakku viime viikolla, samoin kuin melkein (melkein) ei voinut pinnoittaa sitä, koska se oli myös hieno minulle.

Nyt pidän jonkin verran ihania asioita, joita en koskaan, koskaan miljoona vuotta uskonut, että sanoin.

Jos pidät banaani leipää, anna kokeilla joskus. Tämä on todella hyvä.

halfway with class as well as sweating like a mofo
1. working out at the fitness center in a class with real, online people!

HITTO. I can’t believe I’m only realizing this now after exactly how numerous years roaming the earth, however working out at the fitness center with buddies in a class is much much more fun as well as SO much SWEATIER than working out alone in your bedroom in front of a screen. OMG!

I’ve missed this workout whiteboard.
I understand all of us had to do what we had to do when the world hit the pause button (and ideally we don’t all have to hit the pause button once again soon), so I’ve been working out at home, as well as I only just recently felt comfortable sufficient going back to the fitness center right here in our area.

MAINOS

The HIIT class I utilized to take is now held outdoors, as well as I just just recently started going back once again twice a week.

Vau! — I feel like a totally different person. exercising with a group is so totally different than exercising alone. There are other people there to push you to keep up with them! It’s not as tiring as standing alone in my bedroom as well as kicking as well as punching into the air. LOL.

I didn’t recognize exactly how much I’ve missed being able to celebrate my body by pushing it to the limits. I’m not a major athlete or anything, however I’m so pleased to have that a person thing back in my life, which, reality be told, I took for given during pre-Covid times. It’s been glorious!

2. Watermelon, finally

Finally, after what has seemed like eons, I’ve lastly gotten a couple of great watermelons lately.

We’ve been getting some quite unappetizing watermelons so far this season — mushy, tasteless as well as downright disgusting watermelons — however they’ve been getting much better lately!

Watermelon woes…
Fun fact: watermelon season runs from July with August in California, which is most likely why every watermelon I’ve purchased lately hasn’t been totally terrible. I’m speaking yellow spots, hella webbing, as well as a dark, boring eco-friendly color. Mmm… Ooh, as well as so heavy!

KUOLATA!

Room temperature watermelon? WHAT IS THAT NONSENSE? In our house, the only method to eat watermelon is cold, so I precut a lot into slices as well as keep them in the fridge.

3. Tomatoes from my friend’s garden

Speaking of the bounty of summertime fruit, oh-em-gee, my buddy Marisol provided me a whole mess of tomatoes from her garden, as well as I’ve been tomato-ing it up all week long for breakfast, lunch as well as dinner.

Why do I even bother eating tomatoes the rest of the year? summertime tomatoes are where it’s at, man.

4. applying makeup on many days, as well as being awesome with easy looks

Makeup can be a blast, or it can be a chore, right? the very best thing for me best now is to just wear whatever I feel like as well as be awesome with easy looks. One shadow (or perhaps two) on the lid, eyeliner, as well as then whatever else ends up on my face. I’m pleased using a bit bit. note to self: not whatever has to be complicated!

Keeping it easy as well as fun
5. Taking Connor to swim class

Connor started taking swimming lessons! She’ll be going daily for the next month. last week was her very first week, as well as I’ve discovered numerous things to like about the whole situation.

First of all, she has such a great time in the water! After her very first class, she stated that she had so much fun as well as couldn’t wait to go back the next day. then she informed me that she was going to be a swimmer as well as a ballerina, as well as possibly even a swimming ballerina. LOL! Seeing her delight in herself so much truly makes me happy.

Second, is it just me, or is it good to hear the seems of youngsters having fun in a pool? It seems like summer.

Best of all, I’ve had some truly great conversations with mothers as well as caregivers there. The actual swimming lessons are 30 minutes long, so it’s long sufficient to get a good chat in with somebody, as well as that’s just been very pleasurable for me. It’s a pointer of exactly how much I’ve missed interacting with people… last week I was speaking to someone, as well as we were standing about an arm’s length away from each other as well as were both like, “Can you picture doing this viime vuonna? It would’ve seemed wild!”

Käytätkö yleensä aurinkovoidetta talvella? En ole ollut super fantastinen siitä viime vuosien ajan, mutta tänä talvena päätin omistaa, koska olen kyllästynyt käsittelemään hyperpigmentaatiota.

Näkymä Down Lombard Street San Franciscossa
Hei kaverit. Haluan tyypillisesti aloittaa nämä lauantai surffausviestit nousevalla huomautuksella, mutta en voi antaa tyypillistä hakkurin hyvää huomenta tervehdyksiä tänään tunnistamatta päivämäärää ja mitä se edustaa. Tänään merkitsee 20 vuotta, koska syyskuun 11. hyökkäykset, ja kun taas tuskalliset muistot ja kauhut tapana tuntea aina, kun ajattelin tuona päivänä, minulla on paljon enemmän tai vähemmän alas, en koskaan unohda tarkalleen missä olin sinä aamulla (olin 20 -Jotain, kun asuu San Franciscossa tuolloin), alaspäin joka minuutti yksityiskohdat tai elämän muuttuvat huoli ja epävarmuus. Niin paljon muuttui vain muutamassa minuutissa.

Jos muistat myös tämän päivän, toivoni sinulle on, että sinulla on ollut aikaa ja tilaa käsitellä tunteitasi siitä. Sana “surrealistinen” saa heittää paljon noin 11. syyskuuta, mutta en voi ajatella paljon enemmän APT-sanaa. Jos muistat tämän päivän, se oli täysin surrealistinen.

I gotten it. Jep. Mitä tapahtui? Let me tell you the tale.

On a fateful Thursday, I received an email from Hudson’s Bay VIP rewards to let me know that my points balance was 9,494 (for non-Canadians, Hudson’s Bay is like Macy’s).  This means I actually have enough to redeem for a $40 gift card (2,000 pts = $10).  Then I scroll down and I see an offer:

That’s like getting $10 back for spending $50 – that’s 20% off – pretty good. But only on cosmetics and fragrances – hrm. Unohda koko juttu.

Fast forward a few days, I happened to be on my blog’s dashboard and observed that my top Google search result for the past few weeks has been my MAC 137 long Blending brush Lemming post.  It’s not just me who is obsessed with this brush, the whole Internet is too, apparently!

And oh hey, guess how much is the MAC 137 long Blending Brush?

$50.50

I guess I wasn’t over it like I claimed I was – went to the MAC counter at Hudson’s Bay. got my 2,000 perk points.

Huokaus. I’m somewhat ashamed. But kind of not. It’s only a brush. I also didn’t go nuts getting up the MAC display even though the new Huggable Lipcolours just launched, and of course the SA was prompting me if I wanted anything else besides just the brush? YES, gimme one of everything.

Quickie shots of the brand new brush – unwashed.

I’ll do a review and comparison soon – after I’ve had a chance to use it.

So now my Hudson’s Bay rewards balance is at 11,594 which indicates I can redeem for a $50 gift card:

Any guesses what I’ll be redeeming it for?  Yup, a lot more makeup – likely to include a Nars Audacious lipstick.  But only in the new year.

So let’s consider this a slip-up rather than a complete break of my No-Buy, ok?  It boils down to: I didn’t follow my own ideas for No-Buy!  I checked my promotions email – but in my defense the email was under the guise of letting me know my points balance – the offer was underneath the information.  Tricky, tricky!  I know my pals will be all, “see, I told you she couldn’t do it!”
