Hey Karen!
Ideally, it would be with at least one other person, but my most financially stable friend already has a place of her own. I could crash there, but eh, I need my own space! So as of right now, looks like I’m hunting for a 1-bedroom (or studio, but with the amount of crap I have, plus my dog, that doesn’t seem like a plausible option). It’s a lot of work and I just have to try to not lose motivation to do it!

Gemma´s last blog post..Random Pics and Reflections
Hi Gemma,
I really hope that cutting down on it will help my mood swings, but it’s soooo hard, though! I have a terrible sweet tooth…
Can you suggest any good refined sugar substitutes?
Hi Elle,
Oh! Is it hard to find places that allow pets out there? I remember a few years ago here in SF it was really difficult.
Hi Music_Is_Freedom,
Your weekend highlight sounds pretty. I’m not a snow person but I can appreciate a beautiful snowy scene!
Hi Karen B.,
Yay, Modesty! That’s probably my favorite Cremesheen. 🙂
Do you have a lot of work to do for the upcoming concert?
Hi Tali,
OH NO HE DIDN’T! Why did she call you, though? Are you two friends?
Hi Faye,
Movie night sounds fun! What did you and that gang watch?
Hi Violet,
Ahhh, cube life. 🙂 I remember taking many mental breaks at my corporate job, LOL! Thank goodness for the internet… how the heck did people cope at work before the web?
Do you like your job?
Hi Jes,
Aww, thanks hon!
LOL, sounds like you had a ton of great fun this weekend. 🙂
Good luck on you final tomorrow!
Hi Tania,
OMG — yes! I think that even though Whitney is a bit more reserved than Lauren it’ll still be a good show if they surround her with a few hot mess homies.
Every time I see the commercial for Bromance I start CRACKING UP! I wonder if Frankie will be one of the judges, or if Spencer will show up in a guest appearance.
Hi Indian Girl,
🙂 Yay!!!
Oh, and work it out this week, girl! You know it’ll make you feel so much better. 🙂
Hi Meimei,
Nice! Are you almost done with the cleaning? When things are neat and clean I feel like all is right with the world. 🙂
Hi Glosslizard,
Oh boy! I was wondering how the move went. How long do you think before you will get everything fully in place and in order?
Hi Catherine,
Good luck on your finals this week!
Hi Vampy Varnish,
Ahh… you can do it! 🙂 Just give your kitties a big hug whenever you feel like freaking out.
Hi Stargirl Heuser,
SWEEEET! I’m sure you’ll find a pair in her stash that’ll go with your dress perfectly. 🙂
Now onto the fun part: what’s the makeup going to look like?
Hi Brittany,
Oh, poor kitty! You know, I randomly was chatting with a friend and she told me that when she drives home to So Cal her cat actually uses the litterbox while in transit! Does your kitty do that?
A low key break sounds like a seriously good thing. 🙂
Hi Cathy,
Aww… that’s so cute! 🙂
Speaking of candy canes, I need to get some Peppermint Ice Cream from Baskin Robbins. Have you ever had it during the holidays? It’s soo good!
Hi Allison,
Oh no. Drink lots of water and get good rest, girlie. I hope you feel better soon. 🙂
Hi Asta,
I’ve known several people who’ve done really well with South Beach. Good for you!
Just hold one for one more week…
Hi Lydia,
Good luck with your goal! I think I’ll put that one on my list, too. 🙂
Hi Tiera,
SPAM MUSIBI! I could do with one (or two or ten) right now! YUMMY!
Hi Allie,
Yup, I knew that! I was wondering if you’d be working freelance makeup stuff or if you were doing another sort of steady gig. 🙂
Congrats on getting all of those bookings! You’re portfolio is going to be bursting with all of your beautiful work!
Hi Barbara,
Hello from California! 🙂
Yup, I love Portuguese food. When I went to Lisbon a few years ago the food was one of my favorite things about the country. I just wish I could get more of it where I live now! It’s kinda hard to find in my neighborhood.
Have a wonderful week!
Hi Jennifer,
Congrats on getting paid for your first assignment! Isn’t that a fantastic feeling?
Hi Karen4,
Thai spicy basil dishes are my favorite, too! Yummy…
My stomach is grumbling BIG TIME now. 🙂
Hi Aqilla,
Your highlight of the weekend made me smile. Good luck to you both. I hope it works out. 🙂
Oh and happy early birthday!

Hi Karen,
I actually use the Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in Brunette. I’m still somewhat new to filling brows and it’s difficult for me since I have black Asian hair, but light and sparse eyebrows. So I never want to have my brows look over done and fake… and I guess this is the fear that stops me from trying eyeshadows. =( Though I have to admit, your brows do rock, so I’ll probably warm up to shadows eventually =)
Hope you had a good Monday!
Mood: accomplished
Craving: something sweet
Lipstick: sephora…a bubble gum pink color
____ makes me happy: the hunnie
____ makes me b*tchy: defiant students
Blush: Nars/Multiple – orgasm
Highlight of my weekend: super delicious sushi with the hunnie
Eyeliner: NYC brown
Brows: bare and semi-groomed, needs a bit of a touch-up
Weekly Goals: lesson plan (as always…it never ends), laundry, xmas shop online, ***practice a make-up look for hun’s company holiday party saturday night (can’t over-do it, but still wanna look stunning)
I believe that everything will be in order and the way I like it sometime just before we move out in 4-5 years! 😉
Everything is still in chaos and there are boxes and boxes yet to be moved! On the bright side, the bedrooms are starting to look cozy, and I’m getting my makeup space arranged! The amount of work left to do is daunting, but my spirits are slightly improved. As soon as I can get away, I’m going to go reward myself for my not-so-stoic fortitude with a Glossimer!
Hope everyone else’s week is going better than mine!
Hey Karen!
It depends on the neigbhorhood, I guess, but it doesn’t help that my dog’s a bit on the medium/large side. UGH. But we’ll see–I do think more and more places are getting a bit more pet-friendly.
Yup, lots of work. I had rehearsal from 9 am this morning until 7 pm more or less. We had break of course but it’s just really tiring
Karen B´s last blog post..Feel the love!!!! wheeee!
Oh yes he did! And no clue who she is!
Hi TIffany,
LOL, I used to have a Blackberry and it had many moments of being annoying. 🙂
When are your exams?
Hi Christina,
I really enjoy doing ’em, too! It gives us a chance to “check in” after the weekend! 🙂
LOL, snow makes me b*tchy, too… I grew up in California, so I’m a totally weather wimp!
OMG — I am so with you in the eating and exercising department. How has your week been so far? I’ve been pretty good with the exercising. The eating, well…
Hi Faye,
GIRL! I watched that movie twice, LOL! I was the oldest person there BOTH times!
What did you think of it?
Hi Lexi,
I hear you about the brow combo. I once lost my pan of Concrete while on vacay… you better believe I hunted down the nearest MAC counter first thing!
What did you think of the YSL exhibit?
Hi Marisol,
Hey girlie! Are you done packing?
Hi Lesley,
I’ve heard god things about the Anastasia Brow Duo. I have a friend who swears by it!
I like the look of shadows on the brow because I think it’s not as harsh as brow wax. Do you have a brow comb? If you ever feel like your brows look too bold then you can always use comb through them a few times to tone it down a notch. 🙂
Hi Erica,
How fun! Have you decided on the look for the party yet?
Hi Glosslizard,
Chanel bribery is always a good thing! It works for me!
Speaking of which… that Chanel uber-palette is looking mighty good right now.
Hi Elle,
I think so, too. The economy has changed things a lot. A few years ago here in SF during the dot com boom people were practically wrestling for apartments!
I hope that you find a nice place in a safe neighborhood that you feel comfy in… it’s a little scary to be “out on your own”, but your doggy will help!
Hi Karen B.,
Wow! I’m sure that all that hard work will pay off and the concert will be great. What will you be singing this year?
Hi Tali,
Ugh, then it’s good you sent him packing. That’s just crap that you don’t want to have to deal with!
It’s a little weird that she called you, though! She must be really pissed off!
Hey, Karen,
Glad to hear I’m not the only one who could happily survive without snowflakes. 😉
The week’s been good in terms of work productivity… but I’ve been a bad girl when it comes to my eating and exercising habits. I think I’m giving in to my sweet tooth for the rest of the holidays and pushing “reset” January 1st.
Christina´s last blog post..Tila Tequila Has A Billion Dollars
