Hi! Happy Wednesday. I just got back from a walk and am feeling really good.
Quick question for my walking enthusiasts out there: do you get your steps in all at once, or do you prefer to break up your walks during the day?
Over the past few months, Iโve been breaking mine up purely out of necessity, since itโs easier for me to sneak in 10- or 20-minute increments in between tasks.
Recently, though, I decided to do one long vigorous walk in the morning, and itโs been really great! It takes about an hour and 20 minutes, give or take, to hit my goal of 10,000 steps (or about 4 miles), and by the end of it, I feel like a whole new person.
Anywho, consider this your hint from the universe to go for a walk today. ๐
Speaking of messages from the universe, Iโve been thinking about this quote from actress Kim Cattrall lately.
I donโt want to be in a situation for even an hour where Iโm not enjoying myself.

This is where Iโm currently at in life, in all aspects, and especially with makeup. Like, I donโt want painting my face to be difficult in any way whatsoever, LOL. One thing Iโve been doing lately to keep things easy is a matchy-matchy lipstick and blush with NARS Dolce Vita.
I do a swipe of Dolce Vita Velvet Matte Lip Pencil and a few swishes of the blush and dang, if it isnโt the easiest lip and cheek pairing EVER. I frickinโ love it! Makes me wish more brands did the same color for lipsticks and blushes, le sigh.
Itโs coming up on lunch time here in the Bay Area, so Iโm going to warm up some leftovers.
I made this dish yesterday for lunch called fagioli allโolio with beans, squash and crispy sage, and oh my goodness, itโs all I want to eat now!
Instead of using butternut squash, I just grabbed what I had on hand, which was pre-cut delicata squash from Trader Joeโs, and it was so good.
This recipe is vegan, but I think it could be delicious topped with parmesan and/or crumbled Italian sausage, yum!
OK, must eat before I get too hangry. I hope youโre doing OK, and that life is treating you well.
Whatโs new on your end of the keyboard?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
