by Pizza and purple lashes
Purple lashes and pizza are NOT mutually exclusive.
Statistics flashbacks! and urban Decay double team Mascara. and UD 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Vice. Both of which I’m wearing in these pics.

I finally made pizza ? for the very first time using raw pizza dough, which I got from Trader Joe’s, and lemme tell ya — I’m not going to be winning any stunning Pizzas of Instagram awards anytime soon.
My goodness, that’s a hideous crust…
Let’s just say that it wasn’t sculpted by Michelangelo… It was damn tasty though.
Allegedly, El Hub knows how to make pizza dough from scratch (allegedly). Although I’ve yet to see this phenomenon in person, he still poked fun at me for the raggedy edges.

I tried to make it cute, though! I really did!
1,000% not Instagram-able
Ultimately, the hideousness didn’t matter because the pizza was SO good (as was the purple mascara, by the way).
GAH! Purple lashes! When was the last time I applied a purple tinted mascara and actually saw the color on my lashes? Um, like never?! Miraculously, I can actually see the purple from urban Decay double team special effect Mascara in Vice, and it’s IN-YOUR-FACE PURPLE, which is awesome.
See the tops of the lashes? So purple!
So, I thought the pizza was gonna be easy, right? I thought I’d just bust out my rolling pin, roll out a ideal crust of yeasty deliciousness, and toss it up in the air a few times while instrumental polka music played in the background, but noooooo.
The instructions say that you have to let the dough rest for 30 minutes before you actually start doing the thing — rolling it out, stretching it, putting stuff on it — and then it’s like 10 to 15 minutes in the oven.
NOMMAGE
Let’s see where this goes.
Ah! smells like yeast…and VICTORY!
Easiest way to remove it from the bag is to just dump it out.
I also wanna rest on a lightly floured surface for 30 minutes…
I should have missed a step, because when I tried rolling it out, the dough kept sticking to the pin…
When rolling pins give you grief!
And when I stretched it out, that really didn’t go any better. By that point I was just like, “Accept your fate, Karen. This is going to be the world’s ugliest pizza dough crust.”
So I just went with it from there, haha!
Can you tell I have no idea what I’m doing?
LOL, the edges!
I used TJ’s pizza sauce, mozzarella, a mix of prosciutto and salami (of course, when you say those words you have to use an Italian accent), and…what else? Oh! — some chopped artichoke hearts and sliced black olives, which I sprinkled on top.
Strong basil notes in this sauce. Eu gosto disso!
1/2 cup of sauce
MOZZZZZ
I used two slices.
These slices are huge! I used three and tore them into little pieces.
Because pizza cannot be built around salty meats alone…
See ya in 15 minutes!
Let’s put that bad young boy in the oven.
I inhaled my first slice, and Connor, who likes pizza but doesn’t typically get *that* thrilled about it, was shoving it into her mouth, even the funky-looking crust.
“Mom, you ought to probably garnish it with something green, like basil or parsley. Estou só a dizer…”
I’m wearing hourglass fantastic nude blush on my cheeks and urban Decay naked Lipstick on my lips.

It was fun, and the pizza was tasty. We’ll certainly be doing it again.
Seu viciado amigável de charme de bairro,
