The weekly Roundup: posts You might have missed

good morning, fellow beauty babe. Wie läuft es heute? Did you do anything fun yesterday?

I didn’t get to a whole lot of the things I wanted to get to around the house yesterday, like housecleaning and grocery shopping, but I did manage to go for a nice hike with El Hub. fun took precedence over function.

Oh, what do you know about cat cafes…? Yes, this is completely random, but if you come by very often, you’ll know that’s sort of par for the course around here.

So about cat cafes, apparently they’re popping up all over Japan. They’re places where you pay a reasonable fee for the privilege of spending some time with cats. Here’s an interesting article about ’em (complete with pretty kitty pictures!). Seriously, someone needs to open one here in the U.S. because I know at least a few hundred cat lovers who’d be regular customers, myself included, even if it meant upsetting Tabs… He’d probably say I’m cheating on him.

In other news, here’s a trend (you have to click your region after the link) I never thought would ever again see the light of day. I saw these recently on the American apparel site.

I remember wearing huge bows back in the day… Every girl in my seventh-grade class had one in her hair.

Ich weiß es jedoch nicht. Are these supposed to be for grown women? I’m a little confused (and yet intrigued).

As for food trucks, remember last weekend when I mentioned wanting to make it to Off the Grid (the local food truck jamboree)? It was raining here during the last one, so I missed it, but it’s supposed to be sunny today.

Wünsch mir Glück!

MAKEUP MONSTER: BRONZER BUGBEAR

Häufigkeit: selten.
SPEED: Slow
ARMOR CLASS: 9
SPECIAL ATTACKS: Bronzer Bugbears are huge, slathering ogres with a taste for bronzer. They consume it for the talc and silica, which they need to survive, and also like to roll around in it like elephants do with mud.

Bronzer Bugbears are able to sense the presence of bronzer within a 10-mile radius, but the exact mechanism by which this sense works remains a mystery (it’s not a sense of smell, since Bronzer Bugbears lack noses). Einmal im Bereich von Bronzer oder einer Person, die es trägt, greifen sie an! — using a special powder puff that all Bronzer Bugbears instinctively know how to construct. Nachdem sie den Bronzer sammelte, ziehen sie sich zurück, um es in Frieden zu essen.

Sonderwechselweise: Null
Intelligenz: niedrig
Ausrichtung: neutral
SIZE: huge (12′ tall)
