Beauty Ice Breakers

BIC is the place to talk about beauty!  There are lots of fun threads, from mask to makeup (and even photo A Year of Beauty- Photography Challenge ) challenges all the way to pet paradise.  In my early days, I kinda wanted to talk to everyone, but I didn't know what to talk about, I just knew I loved makeup and had found my people.

With threads like Monthly Favorites: May 2024 Edition! or
Community Favorite Concealers: Tag your Holy Grails!  , Beauty Pet Peeves 2 I feel the most comfortable when chiming in because I can talk about makeup.  I figured, hey, let's open up some discourse amongst ourselves; a thread with getting to know you questions could be kind of fun.  (And, I still get to talk about makeup.)

I'll post a question and a phrase with a blank and change it weekly? periodically. Answer one or both.

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

@itsfii generally go every six weeks unless I am training for something then every 4 weeks. 

 

The dogs ggo every 8 weeks.  I know I really spoil my puppies.

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

That’s awesome @CorgiMommy! 😃 How often do you and the dogs go in for massages? I’m working on finding a cadence that will work for my body and my schedule. 

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

What did you get for Christmas?  

A pyrrhra bee necklace 

a dior gift set with my favorite abricot nail cream, a lip oil and a blush 

a GIANT pikachu

Airpods 

socks chocolates wine pyjamas tea towels 

 

My goal this year?

 

contjnuing learning  languages 

continuing vocal lessons

still working on those splits (I am not naturally bendy and this Covid 2020 project is still going)  I have been working with a physiotherapist for six months and progress is still slow.

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

@heartsmyface, I need evidence of this Pikachu.  And maybe the split.

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

@danielledanielle @JoSometimes  The pikachu I can do.  The split will have to wait. The dream (and partial joke at first) was to come out of Covid with this new obscure ability to pop into splits at random times😆. It has become this obsession.  I started off being the most unbendy person.  I thought for sure I’d have it by Christmas 2023 but I am for sure sure I will have it by Christmas 2024😜

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

@heartsmyface Holey moley! That Pika is large enough to dine with you at the dining table!!! 💛💛

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

@heartsmyface. He is big and is kind of doing a split (or splay), so I'll take it.

 

In regards to your split (and everyone else that needs a "geddit")

 

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

I agree with @danielledanielle! Pictures or it didn’t happen @heartsmyface!

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

What did you get for Christmas?

 

Since I just got my ears pierced, I asked my wife for something that represents her and our girls. She got me a mismatched set with a trio of flowers representing us and a star and moon representing our girls.

My goal for this year is _______.

 

Weight loss. I have been saying this for a while but I’m the type that just doesn’t find the gym mentally motivating. I need to be out and about, moving and doing something mentally stimulating.

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

Awww, the story around your gift is really touching @JoSometimes 

 

A good way to be physically active is to take up a hobby if you aren't a gym person.  I eventually became a gym person, but I started off with jogging (hated it), then dance classes and yoga.

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

@danielledanielle It took me FOREVER to give her ideas. I’m the type that’s hard to shop for because if I want something, I find a good deal and get it myself before there’s an occasion like my birthday or Christmas. 

And thanks for the tips. I have a bike that I bought during COVID. I cycled in front of the TV and pushed myself while an episode played and took a break during commercials. I need to start it up again. All my other physical hobbies are warm weather things. 

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

Heh heh, I'm like that and so is hubbs @JoSometimes .  I've egged him on to give me 3 things (this is what my mom started doing with me as I got older) and I pick one, so that it's what he wants and it's a surprise.  HE NEVER DOES IT.  This year he gave me 2 things, and then (thankfully) recanted on one that was ridiculously overpriced IMO, so it kind of worked out

 

Oh, that's a good idea with a bike, and another way to be active that you essentially did -- gamify it.

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

What did you get for Christmas?   beautiful ski sweater.

 

My goal this year is - to climb the Manitou Incline ( I have been talking about this for years).  

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

@CorgiMommy, maybe get dolled up (relatively as much as you like) and take that beautiful ski sweater on that incline!!

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

@danielledanielle that is a good one

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

I was kinda serious @CorgiMommy , 🤣 I feel like fashion can be motivational

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

What did you get for Christmas? (or if you don't celebrate, Boxing Day/End of year sale?)

 

My favorite things were a cold brew maker and eyeshadow palettes from some indie brands. 

 

My goal for this year is to get a faculty job 🤞.

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

@haleyvvvv Good luck with your goal for this year! I hope you get something!

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

@haleyvvvv, sending all the vibes for the job!

And yes to cold brew coffee, it's almost like a delicacy.

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

Thank you so much, @danielledanielle!! 

Re: Beauty Ice Breakers

Happy 2024, everyone! 🎉

(I wasn't lying when I said I'd periodically update this, now was I ?!! 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️)

 

What did you get for Christmas? (or if you don't  celebrate, Boxing Day/End of year sale?)

 

My goal for this year is _______.

 

 

For Christmas, I got a few books, GCs and LoveShackFancy Forever In Love Eau de Parfum 2.5 oz / 75 mL Eau De Parfum
