12 Terrific Products at Trader Joe’s!

April 24th, 2018 by Karen 30 Comments

The awesome Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Mask next to the equally awesome for scale

I’m convinced that my Trader Joe’s on Redwood Blvd. in Novato is the best Trader Joe’s in all the land, and I say “my” like I own the place or something, LOL! I don’t own it (I wish), but I might as well be the mayor because I’m there practically daily.

In case you were wondering…they still have that excellent Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Mask in stock (in case you were wondering), and if you haven’t tried it yet, ya need to get on that, sister! It’s worth a trip to TJ’s all by itself.

But since you’ll be there anyway, the Coconut Body Butter is also epic. 🙂

While you’re at it, toss a few of these into your cart…

trader joes reduced fat spinach cheese stuffed shells

I never leave the store without getting at least a couple of these frozen Reduced Guilt Spinach & Cheese Stuffed Shells. They’re 270 calories, with 33 grams of carbs and 20 grams (!) of protein, which is more protein than three eggs! Since the last thing I want to do at 7:30 at night when I get home from the gym is make something from scratch, these are great for quickie post-workout meals.

NOW THIS IS THE STUFF —->

When I get a hankerin’ for crab, which happens fairly often because I love crab, a box of this is where it’s at.

My Favorite Nude Lipstick at the Moment Is Naked

April 17th, 2018 by Karen 14 Comments

I’ve been wearing creamy nude pink Naked from the Urban Decay Vice Lipstick line almost on the daily lately because it magically matches almost every eye product, palette and blush color in my collection. It’s $18 but feels like a $60 Guerlain lippie!

What’s your current favorite nude lipstick? Inquiring minds want to know.

Do You Believe in Luck?

April 10th, 2018 by Karen 14 Comments

maneki neko eyelashes
OK, so how did I only just now notice that my maneki-neko (Japanese lucky cat) has eyelashes?

This is something I think about sometimes, and I’d love to hear your opinion. Taking it a step further, is there such a thing as good luck? Or bad? I have no idea, but I can’t deny that some people do seem to have exceptionally good luck, and no matter what they do, things go their way. Whatever the reasons, I can’t deny that those people exist…and they kinda get on my nerves. LOL!

Fo’ real, though. 🙂

I do believe that good luck and bad luck aren’t always up to chance. I’ll say that. I mean, there is always that element of randomness and being in the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time, but like with lottery winners, how many cosmic coincidences had to all line up just right to place them at that specific 7-11 on that particular day to hit the Powerball? I don’t know…but I wish I did! Haha. Or, like, Gisele Bündchen? We don’t have control over our facial symmetry or our height or our long-leggedness (yet).

Personally, I don’t think it can hurt, though, to invite good luck into your life, but can a lucky charm (like my small but growing collection of maneki-neko Japanese lucky cats) really bring good luck? Your guess is as good as mine.

Where I think we do have some control over luck is how it relates to opportunities, and this is based on my personal experiences. If I go into a test with — yes, I recognize how corny this sounds — a good attitude, and I’m confident, and I think to myself, “This is going to go my way. I’m SURE of it,” I usually do better than I do when I feel the opposite way, which I’ve done before. Like, if I go into something feeling like Eeyore with a tiny storm cloud over my head, things almost never work out, and this has happened to me over and over again. I don’t know why, but I do feel that attitude has an influence over luck sometimes.

Dear Tabby…

April 4th, 2018 by Karen 25 Comments

karen and tabs dear tabby tee
Best friends forever

Sometimes when Trader Joe’s is out of THE ONE THING I’m craving (I’m talking about you, Lightly Salted Frozen Edamame!), and the baby has been screaming and kicking doors for hours, and I’m feeling anxious because it’s 4 p.m. and I haven’t accomplished anything on my to-do list, and the tears are welling up in my eyes, but I don’t want to cry because I haven’t taken pictures of my eye makeup yet, and I’m spitting curses at my computer, even though I’m the one who accidentally clicked the little red dot thingy that closed Chrome, Tabs will hop up on my desk and head butt my face.

Just like that, I can breathe again…

Like a tabby doctor who knows exactly what his patient needs, he kicks his purr machine into high gear. I take a deep breath, then another, and bury my face in his fur. It’s like he’s telepathically telling me that everything’s gonna be alright. It’s OK, girl. Dr. Tabs will make it better. 🐱

, and if any cat could appreciate a feline who wears pink polka-dot glasses, he could. ❤️

Your friendly neighborhood tabby addict,

New Tee Just for Golden Girls

March 27th, 2018 by Karen 6 Comments

thank you for being a friend tee mbb post
😁

You know Sophia’s my favorite because she is savage! Plus, she always has a purse with her. Doesn’t matter if she’s coming, going, or if she’s walking into the kitchen for cheesecake, Sophia has her purse.

As a purse enthusiast, I can appreciate this.

Of course I had to give props to one of THE GREATEST TV SHOWS OF ALL TIME. The new is available now. It’s $34 and super soft. I’ve worn it to workouts, to return some stuff to HomeGoods, and if I were invited to walk down a red carpet, I just might wear it to that, too.

In my personality breakdown via The Golden Girls, I’m mostly Sophia (60%), because we’re both short and feisty and have a penchant for wearing dresses and carrying our purses 👜everywhere, 20% Dorothy, 15% Rose and a 5% pinch of Blanche.

How about you? Are you 100% Blanche? COME ON, fess up! 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

ME Kamod-ua.xyz

Welcome to Kamod-ua.xyz
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my two-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my cat (Tabs).
