instagramed: The other day, I did this simple makeup look, and wished I had taken a closer look at my eyes. I had a total peachy eye thing going on, and it was such an easy little thing. The colourpop lux lip color is Moody Bloom from the spring collection. I did try my colourpop foundation again and it really is too light, I had to warm it all up with things on top and that took more of the time than I wanted. I wonder if this product has changed formulas since I bought it if I were to try again at a new shade. #colourpopme #fancifulchatter - on 4/20.

instagramed: Birthday week fun, trying the #foodstirs confetti cake version, with extra sprinkles of course #sweetapolita #bdayweek - on 4/20.

instagramed: This was the sun coming up when I woke up early the other morning… and truthfully forgot I took it until I flipped thru my pics tonight 😀 - on 4/19.

instagramed: Last night’s dinner of tortellini extravaganza, cornbread with blueberry balsamic (brilliant idea!), and coconut moscato. Delicious #bdaymonth meal 🙂 #kristineskitchen - on 4/19.

instagramed: I got my first order from @thebalm yesterday, and I tested a few things out! My eyes and cheeks are from the In theBalm of Your Hand vol2 and Take Home the Bronze. Still definitely a first look, I’m looking forward to playing with them more. The bronzer so far seems to live up to its anti-orange claim, I might actually be able to look more warm and glowy without having a cast on my skin that drowns our my porcelain skin! #thebalmers #fancifulchatter - on 4/18.

instagramed: how will i pick?! i got interchangeable @popsockets – after i’ve had this one for 3ish years, i think. it started detaching, and when i was holding my phone over my face when it did it once, in the middle of the night, i was immediately shopping for a new one! so many cool ones i got to choose between #geekygirl - on 4/17.

instagramed: When I get grocery store brownies, I can’t help but add sprinkles. These were some of my @sweetapolita ones I got for my birthday cake last year. And they matched my unicorn-y colored knitting when we watched #legendsoftomorrow a few evenings ago 🙂 - on 4/14.

instagramed: Hot damn, this makeup turned out good. @colourpopcosmetics for most (including Archer pigment, Ursula’s highlight/lipgloss and Alchemist lux lips) and @narsissist Sin blush. @coverfx foundation. So going to try this shape of eye shadow again. Lunch out and then realized we’d be right on time for a showing of #CaptainMarvel. Always a good day to appreciate strong women! #fancifulchatter #colourpopme - on 4/13.

instagramed: Bed knitting with E and Through the Ages on the iPad. Strawberry Shortcake bandaid is protecting my finger I poked with a screwdriver last week 😀 #boardgamegeek #fiberanddice - on 4/6.

instagramed: I don’t think my jewelry shelf is MEANT for hanging ikea instructions on the wall, but that’s not to say it wouldn’t get used that way 😉 I cleared the rest of everything out of my closet this morning (temporary storage) and we took down the old shelves and started building out the wardrobes in here. Clearance being as it is, they have to be built in here! One frame done, and part of the second. But now I’m resting, that was a lot of work even tho E did much of it and I was holding, propping, lifting, and handing. #organizarama #thebeesarehome - on 3/30.

instagramed: It is a beautiful evening. E’s out mowing the lawn and I observed how the Reel mower worked. Gives me a glimpse of how living here in non-winter months will be. 🙂 isn’t this a cute cloud? I bent down to take off my braces and it said “take my pic from this angle”. Who am I to refused talking clouds?! 😉 #thebeesarehome - on 3/29.

instagramed: While the new #toofaced “Natural Lust” palette would be nice to match with the style of my “Natural Love” palette, the neutrals look very similar between them, and I just don’t find myself reaching for it as often as I thought. Yeah, and I see there are plenty of shades I never even tried. It’s *beautiful* but the colors I did used didn’t have as nice of payoff/pigment as my @colourpopcosmetics pressed singles. So that’s one I probably can step away from buying, even tho it was tempting to see it packaged as beautifully as mine. #fancifulchatter - on 3/28.

instagramed: Yesterday, I wore handknits (my On The Motorway) and tried the @colourpopcosmetics Zodiac loose pigments for the first time (in my sun sign, The Bull and my rising/moon sign, the Fish). Love them, glad to have The Archer shade on its way too. They stayed looking good for a big day out, including lots of extra movement! Accented also by their Alchemist velvet blur and some purple liner under my eyes. My #marvel SSR pin also made me happy 🙂 #colourpopme Purple hair and green eyes poppin! #fancifulchatter - on 3/27.

instagramed: This tree is positively packed with pokey-balls. Not poké-balls :D. It’s a sweet gum tree and the little things that grow on it are spine-y spheres. Not often found in this area of the country, except for vancouver, where we have a ton of them. There were so many on the ground, I couldn’t dodge them with Esme 😀 #vancouverwa - on 3/26.

instagramed: My view is the best. I love the library! @van_library . After some research I’m doing, I get to browse through the books I picked up on my surfing through the stacks. Ohhh, fun stuff! 📚 #librarylove - on 3/26.

instagramed: Sat in my fav coffee shop and filled out, stickers, and stamped my #happyplanner for this week. Just a few accents, but I like it. My #missmaker layout as the base gives me such a good structure 🙂 #plannergirl #planahappylife - on 3/26.

instagramed: Oatmeal, trail mix style. Raisins in the oatmeal, a dollop of chunky PB, and some m&ms. Silly and fun! #kristineskitchen - on 3/25.

instagramed: My makeup kit for traveling needs its contents to move back to its home. One side is brushes, other is lippies (although a lot moved into bags along the trip). Top pouch has eye things (brows, mascara, liners). Center has my @drunkelephant kit, custom BYOP @colourpopcosmetics palettes and foundation. Oh, there’s another bag with the glitters and lashes I attempted Friday for the fancy gathering that still needs to come out of the suitcase. This bag is really great for traveling – it’s bagail brand from amazon that I got when I bought packing cubes. And now I’ve procrastinated fully when I was supposed to be putting on my face 😀 #fancifulchatter - on 3/23.

instagramed: Blue sky now and trees packed onto every hill. Mostly 🌲 evergreens. Must be southern Oregon! #guthstorm - on 3/20.

instagramed: I’m trying out seabands for their pressure point activation this trip. I’m unsure if they made a huge difference, but since my headaches have made me nauseous, it seemed worth a try. Plus, my re-found black @wristruler – I thought I had lost it and E found it in the car! #guthstorm - on 3/20.

instagramed: Post-breakfast carrotcake is a thing, right? @emilianbucks suggested Gayle’s and it was amazing! #guthstorm - on 3/19.
