Update- Crazy Cat Lady's House!

I've become the crazy cat lady We've had the kittens now for about three months. Simi is no longer a kitten. She's the size of a regular cat. She weighs more than Nero now. I actually think she's getting a bit too thick. This is the look she gave me when I told her she is going on a diet: If looks could kill... She's getting so big she can no longer sit on the window sill without falling off. Seriously, look at that leg: After googling "how to put a cat on a diet in a multi-cat household", I discovered something called puzzle feeders. I found a bunch on Amazon and ordered three to try. No more free feeding! She's going on a diet starting tomorrow. All three will now have to work for their food.  My husband also ordered this window bed for Simi, but she rarely uses it. We find Flash or Ash occupying it mostly. I think Simi is just not used to it yet. It's been a couple of weeks since we got it and she's

I can't believe it's July 4th already! For those celebrating have a safe holiday and don't forget your pets. This will be the kittens first year with fireworks, so I'll be home monitoring them to make sure they're not too scared. Give them lots of treats and love tomorrow for those who have pets at home. Keep an eye on them. Was hoping to see a dark purple Sculpt Tank but no dice. Nothing for me this week! Have a happy 4th!

My Current Make Up Routine

I do not have a nice vanity to display my make up. I typically do not wear a lot of make up. I only really wear it for work and if I'm going out with my hubby on the weekend. I do not wear any make up at all on Sundays to give my face a break. Whenever you see me in my photo shoots, I'm also make up free. That said, my make up is pretty expensive. It took me years to find what works for me and now that I'm pretty happy I just stick to the same routine and only buy replacements when I run out of something. That said, how do I go from looking like this?  To this? I definitely prefer the natural look. The main differences between the before and after are the eyebrows and glasses. I also happen to look way more alert in the after photo. I look kind of tired and dazed in the before photo!  First step is moisturize. I use one pump of  Guerlain Oxygen Care Moisturizer and a small dab of  Clinique Super Rescue Antioxidant Night Moisturizer . I blen

Is Cashlu Really Machine Washable?

Happy Friday everyone! A couple of months ago I bought the Wake Up & Go Sweater . Even though I decided to keep it, it took me a while to finally wear it enough times that eventually I got some soy sauce on it while eating dinner at a Japanese restaurant. The stain wasn't a huge spot, thank goodness, but enough that it was quite noticeable on my light blue sweater. I tried not to freak out about it. I've never purchased a cashlu item before and all I knew was that it was supposed to be machine washable. So I threw it in my washing machine the very next day. I used the delicate setting and washed the sweater by itself with nothing else in the load, just to be safe. I used my regular detergent and threw in just a little bit of fabric softener. Forty five minutes later I took it out of the washing machine and it seemed fine. The stain even came out! I was pretty happy. I threw it over my drying rack and hoped for the best. The next day I examined it closely and t

Tonight's upload was pretty typical except for this button down that I would have ordered if they still had my size! I'm pretty surprised it sold out so quickly at $108. That's a bit steep for a button down. Also, why does it say the model is wearing a men's size small? Does that mean a size XS would have been too big for me anyway? If anyone ordered it, let me know how it is! I'm super curious about it now. I am loving the figue color but I'm refraining from buying the same items just in different colors... Did you order anything? What do you think of the button down shirt? All Town Buttondown White For The Run Tank Violetta Essential Tank Heathered Figue Sculpt Tank Aquamarine Short Notice Tee Heathered Moss Rose (love this color but not a fan of the elastic along the hem) Swiftly SS Figue (Do love this color too, but I swore off Swiftlys!) Define Jacket Figue (I love this one too but swore off Define's as well!

I went and got my eyebrows tattooed!

I was pretty tired of drawing my eyebrows in everyday. I looked into microblading , but decided it's just too expensive for something that only lasts 2-3 years. It does look really fantastic and natural, I'll give it that. If it was a one time thing that lasted forever I would have done it for the price. I was looking for something more permanent and less expensive. Funny thing is, when my mom got her eyebrows tattooed twenty something years ago, my reaction was "OMG I'm never doing that!", said my 18 year old self. Hah, how things change. I'm no stranger to tattoos. I have five of them in various places on my body. What's another one? The pain is temporary and while it can hurt quite a bit while filling in the tattoo it's only a few seconds at a time. As soon as the needle stops, the pain stops. It's really not that painful, at least to me. That said, it took about two hours from start to finish. All my other tattoos took an hour or so. I sp
