If you somehow missed the almost-literally earth shattering news, Austin got snow yesterday. Like, proper snow! Our neighborhood got nearly 2" and I saw some others got even more. I didn't even know that could happen here. Anyway it's for real cold, not just Texas cold, so obviously I made chili.
.
A spin on my current favorite recipe, I was low on peppers so I added two big hannah sweet potatoes and it was fantastic. I also used half ground beef and half ground elk (the latter from @forceofnaturemeats). Also used @hlthpunk tomato paste + @culinayogurt on top.
.
The full more-peppers no-potato recipe is on bekaneggs.com, but I frequently switch it up with whatever I have on hand.

Can't promise I will get through all of them this Can't promise I will get through all of them this year, I have a short attention span and a lot of excitement at new books, but I moved all my high priority already-own TBRs (to be read) to their own shelf today for, as a friend said "generating maximum anxiety/motivation".
.
I've got three books in the mail from @bookofthemonth and at least... six new releases for 2021 that are very very VERY high on my list (already reading one of them!) so we'll see how this goes, but I'm feeling pretty good about having a separate stack of things I know I really want to read. 
.
There's a good mix here of historical fiction (ok it's *mostly* historical fiction), but also a bit of historical fantasy, a handful of non-fiction, and even a few contemporary stories for if I'm feeling really wild.
.
What's at the top of your TBR list this year?

Hellloooooo. Just admiring my @colourpopcosmetics Hellloooooo. Just admiring my @colourpopcosmetics super shock collection as we edit this week's episode. Did we mention we release new episodes on Thursdays now? Cause we do. Anyhoo, this week is another smackdown with makeup theory and I'm here to defend my lil super shock bbs 😍
It's recording day and while autumn is not really It's recording day and while autumn is not really in full swing here in Texas, the vibes have definitely arrived. I have to admit, spooky in the sunshine is better than I expected.
.
For tonight's ~lewk~ I'll definitely be cracking into my @meltcosmetics Gemini palette and am planning to pair it with the incredible @blackmooncosmetics liquid lipstick in Hazel. Now I just need to figure out my lighting situation for an after dark recording sesh.

🍂 What are your favorite fall colors? 🍁

The team over at @stratiaskin very kindly sent me The team over at @stratiaskin very kindly sent me their full line and I've slowly been working the new bbs into my skincare routine. So far I've tried these three and I'm pleased to report that two of them are new loves and have been fully integrated into my skincare routine!
.
Stratia ✨Liquid Gold✨ described as a lightweight skin strengthening moisturizer. Love this one - the packaging, the pump, the formula, the texture, Stratia absolutely nailed it with this one. There is a very light scent that I'm pretty sure comes from the sea buckthorn oil which is an absolute powerhouse ingredient. Maybe slightly better suited to more-oily skin types, I do find I occasionally need to pair it with a facial oil, but still thoroughly enjoying this and will likely purchase when I run out.
.
Stratia ✨Soft Touch AHA✨ with *mandelic acid* is a "hyper-gentle resurfacing treatment" and so far I am a big fan! New to mandelic acid, but I absolutely love the gel texture which makes it super easy to apply with your hands and less stressful to travel with too (compared to liquid acids). Yet again, nailed the packaging and the pump.
.
Stratia ✨Fortify✨ is a "meticulously balanced facial oil," but unfortunately my skin hates it. Admittedly, I already suspected that marula oil did not want to be my friend and this just further confirmed that, so it's definitely a me issue, not a product issue. This oil blend is lovely both in texture and application, and I also really enjoyed the packaging which I'm going to call "reverse dropper". Bummer this one didn't work out.

What am I eating for dinner tonight, you ask? Oh, What am I eating for dinner tonight, you ask? Oh, just my own words. If you tuned in to our latest smash or pass ep (the @bekaneggs birthday edition!) I had mentioned that I was super glad that @colourpopcosmetics was back to their regularly scheduled releases but that I haaaaated the lil' sunshine collection. Well, here we are. Beka may or may not have convinced this lil' bird that she couldn't possibly live without the lil' ray of sunshine palette. I also saw the little monochromatic yellow (uh huh honey) palette swatches next to this new one and together, *chefs kiss* amazing. Anyway. I don't know what happened, but here we are.
.
Also, that @solbody dry oil smells AMAZING. Just AMAZING.
.
Consider this bird INFLUENCED. Has anything got your consumer makeup monster raging lately? Influence me!!
Perhaps originally ~influenced~ by @ssssamanthaa, Perhaps originally ~influenced~ by @ssssamanthaa, my love for cream products has been steadily growing over the last few years. Having not just survived, but entirely loved my first summer in Texas (minus the whole isolation/pandemic thing), I can confirm I am a full convert to cream complexion products. In fact, I'll be going head to head with my beautiful co-host in our second ever SMACKDOWN to pit creams vs powders for every product type. Keep your eyes and ears peeled, that episode is coming soon!

I'm certain you've already tuned in, but if you ha I'm certain you've already tuned in, but if you haven't, go ahead and check out our newest episode where we profess our undying love for our workhorse products that never get the recognition they deserve. Is anyone ever *really* amped up about eyeshadow primer? Probably not..but we are. These things right here? Well, my face would not look half as put together without them. They carry this team on their back and finally are getting the spotlight. 
.
Go ahead and tell me what your absolute favorite, most used, most purchased products are because I can almost guarantee they're as boring as ours are but let's celebrate 'em? We could all use a little boring in our news cycle this weekend, amirite???
