Today is my last day in Chicago 😔 it has been great, but I look forward to going back home to MN and settling in again. Some snippets of my time here
Ringing in the New Year with Dan at a friend’s house
Getting Garretts Popcorn with Josie (is it just me or does my hand look crazy in this picture lol)
Art Institute fun, today I am going there for the third time during my stay with my brother 😃 Yes I love this place!
Finally checking out Shake Shack here only to be disappointed it didn’t taste as great as NYC. Jo said the meat was dry and we both agreed the cheese was off. Hopefully they just need to break in their pots or something to taste like the ones in NYC
My furry best friends- Sophia and Lulu
And finally no matter where we are there is always going to be Legos and toys in my makeup area and room lol Have a great weekend!! Janet
Jan and Jot

Oh it’s okay. I know how that goes with the spam folder. Maybe because it contained a link? I have to check my spam folder every now and then too. Thank you so much for you lovely comment though! I hope you have a great week as well! xoxo Katie

Oh yeah that would make sense if it has a link it might think it is Spam. I didn’t even know about our Spam folder until I was playing around with the dashboard lol

It’s the Charlotte Tilbury Mini Lipstick Charms in So Marilyn, Penelope Pink, and Bitch Perfect. They are super cute just so tiny, I might return to just buy a full size of So Marilyn

Buying the mini ones first I feel is always better so that you can test them out first. I hate it when I buy a full size one and I detest something about it.

Exactly why I bought the minis lol 😃 I loved all the shades but am super partial to So Marilyn. I also hate when I buy a lipstick especially an expensive one and hate it

I was lucky enough a few years ago to go to NYC and experience the famous Shake Shack. They said it was the East Coast version of In ‘N Out but I found it better! Glad you enjoyed the trip and as always, love seeing glimpses of your makeup. 🙂

Ugh so good the ones in NYC, I drool a little thinking about it lol. I have only had In N’ Out once so I don’t really remember but I hope to try it again soon. I tried to resist buying more makeup during this trip but clearly that failed lol ❤

I haven’t traveled much but the majority of the food in NYC is superb. There was this restaurant, Zengo I think, that an Asian/Hispanic fusion to their food. Best thing ever! They have one here in Santa Monica, CA and I was so happy but unfortunately, they didn’t carry all dishes offered in their NYC location. 😦 Oh, I know how the makeup thing goes, trust me. Just when I say I am not buying more, something new comes out and I buy it, promising myself it’s the last thing I buy, lol. The cycle continues.

OMG I completely agree I love all the food in NYC too. Stinks Zengo isn’t the same in Cali as it is in NYC. Ugh and that vicious cycle is still going, as soon as January hit I have already bought way too much lolol.

I think we got the same little gift set! I bought one that had 4 or 5 scents and I shared them with my sister. I went back and but a 400mL tub of the shea. I love their body butters, sooo hydrating.
