The Day in Beauty, Vol. 3: Modern Love, Viktor & Rolf V-Day Sets, Baby Names, and Weird Belly Bands - Makeup and Beauty Blog

One of the more than unusual things on my bucket list — and I'd say it'south right upward there with wanting to learn how to play the accordion — is to go to a concert, or whatsoever really big result, and have thousands of balloons rain downwardly from the ceiling/sky, and I blame this on David Bowie's Modern Love video.

Have you seen it? There'southward a behemothic crescent moon thingy suspended over the crowd, and all of a sudden it starts pouring out thousands of shiny gilt foil balloons.

I thought this was extremely amazing where I was a child (and even so practice).

The song, by the mode, Beloved. Information technology. And thank you to YouTube for finally clearing something up for me. In the song, I always thought that David Bowie was singing, "It's not really work; information technology'due south just the power to talk," merely he'due south not really proverb that, OMG! He's really saying, "Information technology'southward non really piece of work; it's just the power to charm."

Who freaking knew? I would be then lost without you, Interwebz…

Speaking of mod love, Valentine'south Twenty-four hours is speedily approaching, which too means that Valentine'due south Day gift sets are coming, too.

If you like lovely scents, here are ii new sets by Viktor & Rolf.

The first is the Valentine's Solar day Flowerbomb gift set for $120…

And the other is the $115 Spicebomb set for the dudes.

The Flowerbomb ane comes with one full-size 1.7-oz. bottle of the Eau De Parfum (which usually goes for $115 on its own) and travel-sized tubes of Flowerbomb Shower Gel and Body Foam.

And the Spicebomb ready comes with a full-sized iii-oz. bottle of Spicebomb Eau de Toilette (unremarkably $110) and travel-sized tubes of Spicebomb After Shave and Shower Gel.

I looove both of these scents, and I never noticed this earlier, but Flowerbomb must be one of the virtually popular items OF ALL at Sephora, because it has 60,000 likes, 2300 reviews and 4.five stars! Wow. The official fragrance notes are Sambac Jasmine, Centifolia Rose, Cattleya Orchid, Ballerina Freesia, Patchouli, and I love that it lasts all day and well into the nighttime. I think it's femine, spicy and calorie-free, and the bottle is flat-out gorgeous.

And Spicebomb? Crisp, powdery and spicy… Smells like handsome shirtless dudes. 🙂 It also has a really cool canteen that'south shaped kinda like a hefty glass grenade. At that place's even a plastic pin thingy. You accept to pull the pivot to button the spritzer. Groovy.

OK, in infant news, you're probably gonna call back I'm cheesy, but here goes… I'grand about 99.nine% sure I have a name for Infant Girl, simply I don't want to commit to it and share it quite yet considering I want to meet her first and get her tacit blessing. But lately I've been thinking nigh names that I remember talking about back in the day, and I'd exist like, "Ane day, if I ever have a daughter, I wonder what I'll proper noun her…" and one of the names that came up was Valentine, which I got from Ender's Game.

No, BG'due south proper noun won't exist Valentine, because I've been talking to her, ya know, for eight months (no, she hasn't answered back, LOL!), and I haven't gotten a Valentine vibe. I do, however, get the feeling that she'south going to exist a certain tabby'southward future protege, though…

And I'm non going to talk about beingness tired today because, equally of this moment, I'm actually not (small victories). I'chiliad sure I will be in a little while though…

I exercise desire to talk nigh this weird abdomen belt. Run across, this morning I put on a stretchy dress considering I didn't want to article of clothing anything too binding, just then I started walking around and realized that my stomach felt like it was sorta flapping around in the current of air, so I had change into some pants and this belly belt that El Hub got me.

Some unsolicited life advice: if you tin, marry a human who'll buy you a pregnancy belly belt.

Information technology's a Velcro wrap-around belt to back up your lower tum and keep pressure off your lower back, and OOH! — there goes infant girl… She just kicked me. Actually, I think that was a karate chop.

Anywho, the belt lifts your breadbasket, and I didn't realize this until right now, just it feels really skilful to have your tum enveloped in something and sort of swaddled, I estimate. When it'south wrapped up, mummy style, it feels bang-up. I tin't explain it.

I can't believe information technology'south already Fri! Exercise yous take any plans for the weekend?

Your friendly neighborhood dazzler aficionado,

Karen
