I bought a couple Philosophy shower gels at Ulta and took advantage of Bumble and Bumble's offer. I was going to buy Hairdresser's Oil at Sephora anyhow, but their deal was too good to pass up. I bought the holiday set and got the primer for free. Whee!

We have them. I bought my son's first, and it's almost 9 years old. I bought two more for us three years ago, and the quality is way different. They're slighter smaller and the fabric and batting are much thinner. The fabric isn't as nice. They're still okay quality but I could tell a difference.
So up until April, I was in pretty decent running shape. I did a10k and half marathon on back toback days in January and then again in April.
And then I burnt out and have only run a total of 11 times in the last 6 months. I know, I know.
Despite that, I decided to go ahead and run my 10k at Disney this weekend because it would have been a shame for it to go to waste and the medal was cool.
I KNOW. I KNOW. Bad plan, bad bad plan.
They used my previous times from when I was in decent running shape and seeded me in corral A. LOL.
I did walk/run intervals. 3 minutes running, 1 minute walking. Felt great the entire time. Stopped for photos a few times. Finished in 1:10, which winds up being my 2nd best 10k time ever. I don't even understand how it happened but I'll take it!
No empties, no favorites. I've purchased a few new things, but I've also been revisiting older items in my stash. I used my Smashbox On the Rocks palette a few times and liked it more than I remember liking it in the past.
I like Estee Lauder Double Wear Light. It's medium coverage technically. I have a tendency to breakout still and deal with redness and uneven skin tone, and this evens it all out and covers all but my worst breakouts without needing a concealer. Great staying power. Their regular Double Wear is even more coverage.
No advice on primer. Benefit is my favorite.
My favorite concealer is It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye. I've never had to purchase it. I get those little sample tubes as a gift with purchase and they last for freaking ever.

I volunteered a lot at my kid's school, which led to a job offer.
I've taken a bit of time away from volunteering while I adjust to returning to full time work after 8 years away, but will get back to it soon. I'll start with church functions and potentially starting a new 4-H group for the area.

It needs color. It's all very taupey beige, which is probably why it feels bare. Add color with art and accessories, maybe some patterned curtains and throw pillows.

I'd ask first.
Pajama Day is a common reward at my school. One of the classroom teachers keeps a stock of brand new PJs in case a kid forgets on PJ day and is upset about it.
My neighbor's daughter was one of those kids who forgot and was upset, and teacher gave her a set of PJs to wear on reward day. Neighbor flipped out on her. It was a mess.
I'm not a hugger. If they go in for a hug they wind up getting a stiff ass Duggar style side hug and that usually gets the point across to GTFO of my personal space.
MSNBC says he fired up the Trump base. Good for him? What the hell does that do for him?
The Trump base would be fired up by him reciting the whole alphabet, so OK.
"We won. Bigly. We're going to make America great again and we're going to make Mexico pay for it. Americans are dumb. My 10 year old knows computers. He knows cyber. It was three against one. Obama and Hillary started ISIS. We're going to make America great again. It'll be YUUUUUGE, like the post office."
I bought the Smashbox Light It Up cheek palette, a TooFaced Sweetheart Perfect Flush blush, an It Cosmetics brush, Too Faced Park Avenue kisses holiday lip set, and a Real Techniques brush cleansing palette.
The brush palette is nice and seems to get the job done quickly, which I appreciate. I tried the TF lip colors and like them all. I'm a bit bummed that the packaging is plastic instead of metal like their others, but it's not that big of a deal. Can't wait to try the blushes this week.
I went to Sephora and hemmed and hawed over whether or not to buy the Perfect Bite set. I feel like lip colors on me are either awful or wind up being the same color as my lips.
You guys, every shade is perfect for me. They all look awesome. And they smell amazing.
Agree that your displays matter nearly as much as the product. Make it eyecatching and make it match your brand. Your table covering should hide everything you stash under your table, and your displays should be built up vertically as much as possible. If it looks pretty, people will stop.
