I’ve been on a little “staycation” this week and I had planned LOTS of projects. This was part of my list of Things To Do (the ones that are starred are the ones that were accomplished).
- Organize my clothes closet
- Organize my beauty sample closet
- Paint & hang some decorative medallions for my guest room
- Write lots of blog posts so I would be waaaay ahead
- Wash all the windows inside & outside
- Wash my car inside & out
- Take clothes to the consignment store
- Workout every day ( I did get 1 workout in)
Here is what I actually did:
- Started a new book
- Took lots of pics for blog
- Went to dinner with friends (twice)
- Got caught up on the TV series Breaking Bad while eating ice cream (maybe that’s two?)
- Had a mani/pedi
- Went to a local art fair
- Went shopping (3x)
- Went to the opening of our new Ulta store
- Attended a local play
- Made a yummy shrimp salad
- Played with makeup!!!!
So as you can see, the really important things did get accomplished and I had some time to play with makeup.

Do you have a favorite Tarte product? Do share!
Although I would much rather have been on a beach sipping a tropical drink, my staycation has been very relaxing. Sleeping in, staying up late, not having a schedule!!! There are always fun and interesting things to do in your own city that you might not otherwise have time for or even know about. I highly recommend a nice vacation AND a staycation!
Have you ever done a staycation? Did you enjoy it?


















I love Tarte. My top favorite is the Amazonian clay 12-hr foundation, it’s lightweight and ideal for my oily skin. Great stay-cation I must say. I live in HI so once in a while, me and hub play tourists, it’s fun!
That would be the vet staycation EVER! You’ll have to try the new Maracuja foundation–love it!
Hubby and I just got into Breaking Bad – what a great show! Has anyone told you that you look like the lovely Anna Gunn (Skyler)?
Anywho, yes, my hubby and I did a staycation last year and played video games the entire time.. lol
Also, I love Tarte’s eyeshadows – they’re so buttery and pigmented. I own two of their palettes, and both are amazing quality, and they’re fab to travel with!
Awww, thanks! Yeah I’m addicted to BB–I hope that doesn’t make me a bad person!! LOL
