The last three weeks have been an onslaught of "anything that can go wrong, definitely fucking will" and I've been too preoccupied to get creative at the makeup table. I'm still feeling a bit "fuck everything," but today I'm feeling it with color. My @meltcosmetics Vida palette arrived yesterday (ordered it in the early access sale) and I had to get those on my face today. . @meltcosmetics Vida palette / Genesis highlight @coverfx concealer + powder @doseofcolors Cold Shoulder 💋 @hourglasscosmetics bronzer / Caution mascara @limecrimemakeup Smokey + Brownie brow gels . Chains are both @regalrose . . . #makeup #makeupnerdery #meltcosmetics #meltvida #meltgenesis #doseofcolors #limecrime #hourglass #coverfx #fuckit #countdown #wednesday #makeuplook #motd #fotd #eotd #orange #makeupaddict #makeuplover #mua #facepaint #beauty #girlswithglasses #girlswithshorthair #shorthairstyles #shorthair

Pictured: 8 photos, documented sightings of the Great Northwestern Jumping Tuna aka Franklin D. Tuna V-V. . Two years ago today, with the help of @bapbr, @thevacirca and I drove down to Tillamook to meet a neglected doggo at a freezing, understaffed, grass-less shelter. After five years of asking nearly every day if we could get a dog, I thought Nick would meet Franklin, say "we'll think about it," and drive home. Instead, Nick looked me in the eyes and, with our home not even remotely prepped to bring a dog home, said "we can't leave him here". So we didn't. Two years ago today we brought home a shivering, neglected, underweight, raw skinned, and nearly hairless dog with...well, pretty much no fucking clue what we were doing. With Angela at @bapbr answering my hysterical questions at all hours of the day for the first few weeks, we settled in just fine, and now it's pretty much impossible to imagine our home without a dog, without Franklin. Happy Gotcha Day tunaman, we wouldn't trade you for the world. . Pitbulls and "bully breeds" are the most-executed dogs in American shelters and the most legislated against worldwide. If you want to help dogs like Franco find families like mine, please consider a donation to @bapbr and/or @nwdogproject. And give @roofusandkilo some love too.

I've been super ill all week. I do not feel like explaining all of it so I'm just gonna skip to tonight. I can actually eat again and today I was very happy to have Nick and @hellofresh to do all the heavy lifting. This was our first HelloFresh order (not sponsored even a little, we just tend to end up making less than ideal decisions on Fridays after a long week of work and wanted to see if this helped) and we've got some thoughts. Dinner tonight was "buttered-up steak with roasted potatoes and garlicky green beans". I sat and read Nick instructions while he did all the cooking and overall, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome and Nick was too. The amount of single use plastic was pretty unacceptable - the parsley and garlic could have been packaged together in a little paper pouch, the meat could have been in waxed butcher paper, and if you had to use plastic, it should have been the biodegradable stuff made from veggies. All that said, it was really quick, really easy, and really delicious. The ingredients were all impressively fresh and I even ate all the green beans, which I am usually pretty nope about. The only real prep was to cut the potatoes, and I ate 470 calories for the first time since... lunch on Tuesday. I really hope they work on their packaging, but this was kind of a lifesaver today. We've got another one for tomorrow and I'm saving all my HelloFresh related stories in my highlights if you want to poke through 'em. . . . #dinner #saturday #hellofresh #steak #protein #whole30alumni #chronicillness #sick #food #foodporn #delicious #weekend #potato #veg #invisibleillness #spoonie #spoontheory #eat #gethealthy #foodstagram #foodie #recycle #reducereuserecycle

Sometimes you just need some good ol' Jewish penicillin, with a #bekaneggs twist (that I'm pretty sure I stole from @zahavrestaurant close to a decade ago, but shhh). . I've been dealing with some kind of miserable cold virus/allergy concoction for four weeks now and it was 36* when I got in my car on Thursday morning, so it felt like a good time for a big batch of soup. The full recipe for my Decontamination Chicken Soup is buried somewhere in the depths of bekaneggs.com, but today I made it right in my instastories which I've also saved as a highlight, so you can watch me make the ultimate recovery soup whenever you want. 🐔 . . . . #food #foodporn #chickensoup #soup #jewish #sick #tired #friday #tgif #winteriscoming #foodblog #foodblogfeed #foodblogger #paleo #whole30 #glutenfree #keto #whole30alumni #dinner #stories #zahav #ginger

Have cold, will curry. . Yep, I'm still feeling crappy, September put my body through the ringer and the recovery has been slow. But still, curry. This one's got my go-to pork meatballs, two egg yolks, coconut milk, and parsley, but I also used a pouch of @bonafideprovisions bone broth butternut squash soup, which means I've made enough broth to take a pint to work tomorrow too 👌🏼 .

I haven't been posting much because I've been sick for four weeks and quite frankly, my brain is elsewhere so I don't have much to say to the masses right now, but this picture of Franklin is so perfect and I can't wait to land my lil Mini in the Texas sunshine for this velvety goose to realize we are free from the months of constant rain and that he can go to the dog park pretty much all year long and maybe we can finally make some progress on that socialization thing and I used to always make fun of those t-shirts that say I WORK HARD SO MY DOG CAN HAVE A BETTER LIFE but oh fuck I totally get it now. I am one of those people! Can't wait to get this guy, and us, into that freaking sunshine. Truly I cannot wait to complain about how hot it is all the time while I sit in the sunshine at my affordable house two miles down the road from my best friend having our weekly family meal and aperol spritzes. Austin, I can't wait to be in you in 75 days. (We start driving in 72). . Also Friday was 23 months since we brought this snuggly nugget home, and I forgot because I was distracted by #polishpickup. . . . #austin #texas #tejas #austintx #atx #dogsofinstagram #dogsofaustin #dogsoftexas #pitbullsofinstagram #life #love #moving #roadtrip #bestfriend #headedsouth #sunshine #75days #minicooper
