My little Cat Distribution dropoff, Radar, who is now around 5 months old. One more month and I can get him “fixed” and maybe he will be less aggressive with… all the cats, his play, and overall energy. So much energy… lol.

I cannot remember the last time I bothered to write anything. I apologize. I have been a level of fatigued that I don’t know how to explain. I didn’t feel like writing. I wanted to so many times, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Who am I writing for anyway? I’m not a blog that is read by more than one or two people. I also have a bad habit of needing to perfect the appearance of every post. It becomes a job and not always a stress relief.

I had a moment, though. I think I should write just to write. It has been some time and I miss sharing out into the void.


Latest Makeup Obsession


I discovered Bésame Cosmetics, fell in love, and haven’t looked back. It makes me feel beautiful when I dress up.

I discovered them through a friend off Threads. That red is called “Red Hot Red” and it is absolutely my shade. I tried Dressing Room Red from the Debbie Harry line and the orange undertone didn’t suit me. This one stands out so much better.

I also bought the Debbie Harry 1970’s inspired eyeshadow palette (some of the colors worn in the photo above) and each other suits me so beautifully. The browns are flattering. The blue and black stand out the way I love. I also like using the red to brighten my waterline. It is just meant for me!

I have been doing my makeup a lot more often! See below.

I am human. I never feel like I look nice… until I do my makeup with these products. Suddenly, I feel a little more confident and less defined by my size.

My health sucks but I am not ugly because of it. I clean up nicely! 😊


My Art Continues


Right now I am on a zendoodle kick. I cannot help it. It is so satisfying when I am feeling a lot of stress.

I am always drawing something. I will say that I have stopped drawing briefly because winter is coming and I want to make a few crocheted beanies to donate locally for those in need. We have a local distribution center for donated winter gear. They help anyone that needs winter goods, so I really want to do something. I probably won’t have many to give, but I still want to give.

Drawing really is mentally fulfilling though. I’ve made a lot of different designs over the past few weeks. See below. ⤵

I create despite the artistic stylings of wet cat paws, lol, ⤵


Now is probably the best time to end this. I think I shared enough for one post. It was nice to share, though. I need to pop in and do that more often.

SEO doesn’t matter. Design doesn’t matter. Sometimes I just need to show up.
