Saturday Surfing: December 2nd, 2017

let me tell you; you haven’t lived until you’ve taken a toddler to the ballet. It’s an experience, LOL! I took Connor to view the Nutcracker yesterday, put on by a local ballet company here called The Stapleton Ballet, and they did a performance for parents and young kids.

Technically, it was a dress rehearsal, but it was open to everyone — even babies! The kids got to delight in the ballet and could relocation around and get their wiggles out if they needed to.

It was cool. I have so numerous memories of the music and the dancing from Nutcracker when I was growing up. I had a well-loved record (YUP) and a book, and I’ve gone to see the ballet a few times.

Back in high school band, I played parts of the music when we did select excerpts one year. My favorite piece, by the way, is the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies, because it has the best flute parts.

I think Connor delighted in it… It’s hard to say… She didn’t want to sit on my lap, which I guess isn’t a huge surprise, because she’s a high-energy kid with her own agenda.

She’s a mover and a shaker, but we were in a row toward the front right, with about three seats between us and the next family, so she had room to groove.

When the house lights came on and the curtain went up, she said, “WOW!” then when the dancers started kicking and flying through the air, she chose that she wanted to participate in the performance, so she started twirling in the aisle and kicking her legs. It was quite the adventure!

We ended up leaving during intermission because it was nap time, and she was getting cranky. but it was fun. I’m wishing to make it a new tradition for the two of us.

So, I didn’t have a lot of time to get ready before we left for the theater. In fact, I had literally two seconds to put on my makeup…

OK, maybe it was a little much more than that, but not much.

Anyway, I’m always cutting it close, but lately I’ve been cutting it really close.

Normally, when I only have 10 minutes or so to get out of the house, I won’t attempt winged liner, but I did it yesterday. You can completely do it if you have an angled liner brush and a black eyeshadow.

The trick is to only load the suggestion of the liner brush. If you do that, you get much much more control over where that shadow is going, and if you happen to make a mistake, it’s easy to appropriate because it’s just shadow.

I used matte black powder MAC Carbon eyeshadow and a MAC 263, which is their small angled brush.

I think it’s so much better than the 266 if you have limited lid space because it’s thinner than the 263 and much simpler to control.

On that charm note…here are some stories (some charm related, some not) that caught my eye this week.

Could glitter eventually become a relic of the past? Scientists call for a ban on glitter in an effort to safeguard marine life, and microplastic bans could soon include glitter used in lotions, cosmetics and more.

Work can become a major part of your identity. The danger is letting it define who you are. Here’s how to emotionally detach from your job.

The Paul & Joe spring 2018 (!) collection is paws-tively purr-fect because of — you guessed it! — cats. lots OF CATS. The green nail polish looks like pretty cool paw polish.

Spa experts offer their suggestions for glowing skin, and part of me hopes a 120-minute deep-tissue massage is somewhere on the list.

The holidays are hopefully a pleased time, but in some cases people are going through challenging things this time of year. here are four mistakes we often make when comforting friends over the holidays.

Have a good rest of your day, OK? I hope you find a good balance between being productive and finding time to unwind before the sun goes down.
