Me, last night. Well…more like me yesterday afternoon at approximately 5 p.m., give or take, because that’s when people in Toddler Town have dinner.🤷‍♀️ And while other people in the restaurant were enjoying their sushi dressed like actual adults, I was sporting my (Connor’s) stethoscope and pink sprinkle doughnut glasses, but I digress… It being Caturday and all, I hope you’re relaxing right meow. If you feel so inclined, here’s some light reading for you… When I was a child, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, which was on the air from 1968 to 2001, was one of my favorite shows, and there’s...

My thoughts on pink eyeshadow? I’m into it. I have been ever since high school. My very first pink (because you never forget your first!) was a dainty pale pink frost — Seashell Pink, by Clinique — which I loved to wear from lash line to brow bone when I was a teenager. I know.

One was Clinique New Clover, otherwise known...

What’s an unsung makeup hero? For me, it’s an oftentimes underrated makeup morsel, a permanent collection product that scoots under the radar screen of many makeup lovers but regularly rocks my world.

Embracing Your Fifth DimensionWhat does it mean to live in a holographic universe?By Sabine Hossenfelder in MediumImage credit: TU Wien.Good article to understand the concept of duality and the holographic principle in theoretical physics, both of them essential in modern physics and that are very amenable to fall in science fiction and pseudoscience, but that actually mean something very specific (and conceptually and mathematically sophisticated) that has little to do with the tales that are read often out there on the subject.Also in the blog of the author she gives a bonus-track relating to Stephen Hawking’s recent proposal for information...

Close to the Perseid meteor shower’s peak (next Saturday, 12th) one think on how impressive it had to be the November 1833 Leonid meteor shower, with about 100000 meteors per hour, around 30 per second (in the picture an engraving by Adolf Vollmy, 1889). These days during the Perseid shower, we have to settle with an expected beat of 150 per hour -about a couple of them per minute.Related readings and references: The Greatest Meteor Show of All Time (NASA - Watch the Skies) Perseid meteor shower 2017 weather forecast (Met Office) Perseid Meteor Shower 2017: When, Where & How to See...
