The original letter in which Galileo argued against the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church has been rediscovered in London.Credit: The Royal SocietyVia Nature: Discovery of Galileo’s long-lost letter shows he edited his heretical ideas to fool the Inquisition—There seems there is nothing new or unknown on this find. I recommend taking a look at his essay (in the form of a letter to the Grand Duchess Christina) written in 1615 (around the time the above letter was also written): Galileo Galilei: Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina of Tuscany, 1615
What’s the Most Unlikely Thing in Your Makeup Bag?
Lemme guess… Is it a toothbrush? (They do come in handy for taming flyaways.) Or a business card? (So convenient for stenciling out crispy cat eye flicks!) For me, it’s a tossup between the bottle of Essie Gel Couture Top Coat and a small tin of Hollywood Fashion Tape! I keep the top coat around because I’ve become the person who gets wherever she needs to go a half an hour early these days (to make a long story short, I feel much less anxious, but it goes totally against my nature, LOL!), so I often find myself with time...
Shout-Out to the MAC Cream Colour Bases!
Old-school MAC right hurr! It’s been a minute since I’ve talked about the Cream Colour Bases, but I’ve been wearing Improper Copper and Vintage Rose as cream blushes lately and just remembered what makes them so, so good. These multitasking creams moonwalk across the skin and stay put on my lids, lips and cheeks. You can easily blur the edges with your finger, too, even if you consider yourself blending-challenged. I wear Shell and Hush as eyeshadow bases and highlighters all the time, and I give them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ out of 5 hearts for being awesome. Do you have a fave?...
Product Spotlight: Wander Beauty Mile High Club Mascara
Quick take: This marvelously easy-to-use mascara lengthens, lifts and holds a curl almost all the way up to the stratosphere. It’s also practically waterproof (even though it isn’t alleged to be). Wander Beauty just gets me, man. It’s like they have a camera into my soul! They know that I usually only have 10 minutes a day to do my makeup, so every nanosecond of that 10 minutes counts, and every moment is so precious and beloved and luxurious to me that I’ve become obnoxiously picky about the products I use. I literally have no more time for nonsense. The...
Saturday Surfing, July 6th, 2019
Hi, friend. How’s it going today? What are you up to? I hope it involves food and fun, whatever it is. 🤗🍉🍧 I don’t know if it exactly qualifies as fun, but I’m heading out the door for an early HIIT class at the gym. After that, though, I’m taking coywolf to a playdate because, apparently, I am now an Uber driver at the beck and call of a threenager, ha ha ha! But first, a little Saturday surfing… When a product claims to be paraben-free, does that also mean that it’s better for your health? It’s still unclear whether...
