The evolution of Living Lippy!

Y’all have seen my avatar by now, I assume, since she’s been around since 2018.

Well, I figured four years was long enough to use the el cheapo Fiverr look (which I did love)…so when my friend Joyanne offered to design something new for me as practice for her new business, I jumped at the chance!

And I’m in love! I mean, who doesn’t want to look like a Disney princess?! And of course I still have my trademark margarita…but my hair is shorter and I’ve got a cardigan now (and I’m not quite as slim as I was back then). And yes, the margarita is a more realistic appropriate size!

That said, part of me is sad to give up the old me because it has memories…but we all need to grow and evolve…so in with the new!

Giving some love to colors I rarely use!

Today I’m giving some love to some shadow colors that I rarely use…but that are surprisingly good!

From the permanent line, Mulberry ShadowSense! From the Limited Edition colors, Fiery Coral Shimmer and Wind Shimmer ShadowSense!

They looked a little crazy together on my hand but once they blended together it looked great! And over overlooked Wind Shimmer for way too long—it’s amazing. I’d use it in place of Sandstone Pearl Shimmer in a heartbeat and it has a little bit of duochrome-ality to it!

Brick FTW!

I haven’t done a red lip in awhile so decided this was the day. I pulled out Brick which OMGWTFBBQ!! is sooooooo good and I always forget it. It’s not super bright red so it’s a little less scary, plus it has glitter in it!

So then I had to do a nice subtle eye—and I am loving Fairy Dust Shimmer with Champagne Pearl Shimmer. It’s the first time I tried it and I’ll definitely be doing it again! (It’s another Limited Edition and I do have a few on hand!)

It did feel like a tiny bit much for an afternoon kid baseball game but who says you can’t look stunning for that?

Olive, Day 14

For the moment, life is perfect. I’m in my egg chair. The weather is 75° with low humidity and it’s shady. Olive has stopped biting my toes and is cuddly. Any bets on how long this will last?

Approximately 32 seconds.

 

Exploring the deck!

Playing with Honey’s ball!

Playing in the grass! Well, chewing on something in the grass.

Now she’ll suddenly appear behind you!

Mom, I know you get super frustrated with me when I constantly bite your feet (and no one else’s) so I’m gonna fall asleep on you so you still love me.

And another nap…

We taught her to use the stairs today. But she liked chewing on them too much so they got put away!

Olive, Day 12

Good morning, Olive! We put a Blink camera on her so we could see when she got up and started moving…and crying. She got up shortly after this to potty and then went back to bed for a bit.

She loves her snuffle mat! We toss food bits in it and she finds them!

And hiding under the ottoman.

And of course napping. (And getting used to a harness.) She’ll actually walk in on her own when she’s tired!

And she loves laying in the sun.

And sleep in weird positions.
