Last Friday, I had the pleasure of meeting and listening to “Jungle Jack” Hanna, TV host and author, zookeeper, animal advocate, conservationist, etc.
With “Jungle Jack” and Callie and Maura, two zookeepers I work with
He spoke eloquently about zoo life today, and how zoos are meant to be “for the people.” Well, obviously for the animals, too, but I knew what he meant– we really have to reach people to make an impact on them.
In other fun career news, I finally have been adding text to photos lately to post on the social media of the zoo I work for. I came up with the below gem that I’m particularly loving… it shows off our adorable baby tapir calf, who looks crazy-cute in almost every single photo I take of her!
Beauty stuff: I am full-on obsessed with a gift sent to me by my mentor and friend, Farrah.
I stole your Facebook profile pic, Farrah! ‘Cuz it’s so pretty 🙂
She sent me a baggie full of MAC empty compacts, and said that if you turn them in to be recycled at a local MAC beauty counter, they will give you a free lipstick of your choice for every six empty primary packaging containers! It’s part of their Back to M.A.C. program. I love how they are thanking customers for going green.
Green is beautiful!! So is my new favorite “nude lip” combo of MAC Faux satin lipstick topped with Viva Glam Lipglass. I texted Farrah that I was totally using the two products she sent to be recycled as newbies to me, LOL! I know, kinda gross to be using my friend’s lipsticks, but I wiped ’em off first. Does that count as cleaner? It doesn’t? Oh well, just call me a beauty recycler. 😉
Wearing my new “nude lip” faves… thanks, Farrah!
MAC satin lipstick in “Faux” — almost all gone! I will dig it out to make the most of it!
