To quote a great connoisseur of round, well-baked cakes, "COOKIES!" And past the way, is it just me, or has Cookie Monster gotten a lot more than… What'southward the word? (Oh, the irony here.) Clear? I experience similar he's expanded his vocabulary a great deal over the years.

In other news… I'm even so baking my way through 2018! Concluding dark I made chocolate chip cookies.

But I can't keep too many in the house because I'll swallow them all, and then most of them go to friends and neighbors…

Near of them. 🙂

I used a new recipe, too. I'm usually a Toll House chocolate chips girl, but I grabbed a pocketbook of Ghirardelli Semi Sweet Chocolate Fries a few days ago and followed the recipe on the back.

They turned out pretty well! — although, I remember I'll add a impact more table salt next time… Ooh! Perchance I'll sprinkle sea salt flakes on top of them.

I dearest that contrast of salty and sweet. I'm also going to "upwardly" the walnut ratio. I simply used one loving cup, per the instructions, but I'm thinking they could accept been nuttier… LOL. Heck, we all could be a niggling nuttier, amirite?

Side notation/Bay Area trivial trivia: Everybody hither says "GEAR-AR-delly." For the dear of all silky Maine Coon kitties, please, please, please do not say "jee-rar-dah-lee." I went to schoolhouse with somebody who ever said "jee-rar-dah-lee," and she insisted that information technology was right.

I was like, "Look, girly, yous're from Southern California. I don't tell yous nearly Hollywood and sunshine, but I'm from the Bay Expanse. Become IT Correct."

LOL!

OK, plenty most chocolate (for now). Let's discuss other succulent and interesting things, like…

• I'yard endlessly fascinated by people and their relationship with makeup. In this Yale Herald piece, student author and makeup lover Max Himpe writes that "Ranks of men wear makeup. Nosotros do it in the day and at night; publicly and privately; silently and loudly. Information technology's worn daily or yearly or instinctively, on- and off-stage. Nosotros use makeup to muffle flaws, enhance features, equally decoration or even as artistry. There is no i way; the parameters are endless. Some of united states know other men who wear makeup. Nosotros all wish we knew more." VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE.
• Way designer/Project Runway alumnus Christian Siriano is partnering with e.l.f. for a limited edition makeup collection that launches today. Everything in the collection is less than $20, and there's a LOT of color — like hot pink packaging and an eyeshadow palette packed with brights (light-green and teal, what?!), among other things.

  I'yard kinda surprised, in a skilful fashion. I loved the season he starred on PR, and even though I haven't followed him closely since and so, I always thought that if he were to do a dazzler collab, information technology would be something along the lines of what Victoria Beckham did with Estée Lauder — high end, exclusive, lots and lots of black packaging.

  I wonder if he's going to branch out and release some makeup on his ain.

• Are you following the Winter Olympics? If you are, y'all might catch a glimpse this traveling squad of 230 young North Korean women handpicked to act every bit a sort of international cheerleading squad — except without the dorsum handsprings and handbasket tosses — to back up the North Korean athletes.

  The members are by and large students from upper-course families in Pyongyang, and they travel abroad on behalf of the regime during special occasions.

• Backstage at Style Week is a adept identify to glimpse products that volition be launching shortly, and MAC recently revealed that a new line of 24-Hour Studio Ready concealers volition be launching this summertime. The full-coverage liquid concealer will come up in 34 shades and include a tube with a doe foot.

  I'grand down for full-coverage concealer, homie, just I hope they aren't Also matte, y'all know? I don't listen matte concealer on my cheeks, chin and around my olfactory organ, but they're usually a no-get nether my eyes, where they oftentimes add almost xx years to my face up.

  Even so looking forward to them, though! Studio Set is one of my old-school MAC faves.

• Behold! This bevy of regal Maine Coon cats! *swoons*

  These felines sport seriously silky shampoo commercial-caliber manes.

If cats could text, this is a practiced representation of how pretty much every conversation would go down.

While nosotros're on the field of study of cats, I'grand intrigued by this cat bag carrier. Of grade, Tabs would only desire ane if it were Louis Vuitton or Chanel.

100 years of lip looks

OK, babes, I hope you accept a wonderful Caturday. Talk to you lot soon. Goodbye. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen
