Up, up, up, babe! It’s time to get up! Happy caturday. 🙂
In seemingly random news, today is my cross-training day.
See, I’ve been “training” for a half marathon (quotes because I’m still finding my rhythm), which is in about five weeks, and the plan I’m following calls for doing something different every day of the week, like, some days I’m supposed to run just a few miles at a slower-than-normal pace, some days are rest days, and then once a week I’m supposed to push myself a little harder with a slightly longer run (that was yesterday for me…so I’m a little tired).
Today is the day I’m supposed to cross-train, which means doing something other than running, like bicycle riding, walking or doing…I haven’t quite figured out what to do yet. The idea is to keep from overtraining and injuring the same muscles I use while running, but I don’t know what activity to do. I mean, after five minutes of push-ups, my arms are burnt toast, so that’s not much of a workout, and I don’t have an exercise bike or a gym membership.
Hmm… Maybe I’ll bust out a Jillian Michaels DVD (after I have three cups of coffee, LOL!).
What are you up to this weekend? Doing anything fun? I haven’t thought very far ahead yet, so I’m kind of winging it… I did want to mention that in addition to this weekend’s Sephora giveaway right here, that other giveaway for the Purina Pro Plan cat snacks (and other swag, including a giant refrigerator magnet frame, tote bag, food bowl and autographed picture of Tabs), is still open for new entries until Wednesday, September 10, and there haven’t been that many entries yet, so your cat’s chances of winning are pretty great. And you can enter in five ways. Once on Twitter, once on Facebook, once on Pinterest, once on Instagram and once in a comment on the giveaway post.
I’m just saying…if your cat likes those treats half as much as Tabs does, you’ll make him/her pretty happy.
Now I’d better go get started on that caffeine I mentioned if I’m going to have a successful cross-training day, whatever that means, haha. If you have any cross-training workout ideas for me, let me know.

Happy Friday!
I love animals, i never touched an elephant!
Happy Saturday!
I love the naked palettes, but for some reason I just can’t get into the colors from 2.
I used to be able to do the splits. Now, I wouldn’t dare because I’d likely never walk again!!!
Good luck with the half marathon training!
You could try the seven minute workout–I usually do at least two rounds.
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-minute-workout/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0
I don’t know if this counts as a polydactyl cat, but the first cat I ever had had thumbs!
Never touched an elephant or any non traditional house pet animal.
My favorite drugstore product right now is the e.l.f. powder brush… this is the softest, most luxurious drugstore brush I have ever tried! And its only $3
The Simpsons hair looks great on you!
During the week,I’m in bed by 10 at the latest.
My favorite drugstore product for…going on three or four years now, I think (!) is Olay’s Essential Oils Moisturizing Ribbons body wash. They have a few scents, but I always come back to the purple one, Luscious Orchid, which has jojoba in it. It smells amazing, feels amazing and gets along with my über-sensitive skin!
I have not only touched an elephant, but also I have ridden one.
I love elephants, I wish I’ve touched one. I’ve touched a monkey tho, does that count?
Hi Karen, another terrible day at work. What else is new?
I love Jillian Micheals’s DVDS. I just did Ripped in 30 on Thursday and my muscles hurt sooo bad 🙂
I rode an elephant at the zoo when I was little!!!
My current favorite drugstore product is Aveeno calming makeup wipes!
favorite drugstore brand is revlon-love the lipsticks and colorstay foundation
I’ve been loving silk naturals dupe of the naked 3 palette.
I am absolutely unable to do the splits. I’ve actually never been able to touch my toes, not even when I was a kid. I’m just super-inflexible — everything’s wound up very tightly.
My current drugstore favorite would have to be the Revlon lip crayons–I just can’t get enough of those things!
Looking forward to crocheting later
Love this giveaway
Sad to say I am often in bed by 9pm, hubby and I both get up early for work.
I usually go to bed around 9 but stay awake until 11! I like a lot of downtime!
It was 90 here yesterday, so I wore a white knit top, a red cotton skirt, red earrings, and white sandals. It seemed like a good idea until I got tea on my top 20 minutes after I got to work.
Wish I could do a split. Also wish the cold front would hurry up and get rid of this hot, sticky weather!
OOH! Naked Palettes! 😀
1. What time do you usually go to bed?
Usually around midnight or so, unless I’ve been working, and then it’s usually a good couple of hours earlier.
2. Have you ever had a polydactyl cat?
No, but I’ve been to the Hemingway house and had one sit on my lap!
3. What’s your current favorite drugstore product (makeup, and also non-makeup)?
Anything by NYX! I do also love Cake Beauty’s body washes (particularly the lemon one).
4. Have you ever touched an elephant?
No, unfortunately. 🙁
5. Can you do the splits?
Accidentally! I’m hypermobile (my joints are a bit more flexible than normal), but splits are not exactly in my repertoire.
6. Tell me about your outfit yesterday (makeup, hair, clothes).
I wore jean shorts, a black tank top and a black and white plaid over-shirt! For shoes I wore my black Birkenstocks. Hair and makeup wise, nothing too special (I’m a wash and wear girl – that and my makeup skills need some refining): normal hair and a little bit of Sephora lipstick (N9 – Copper Pink).
I usually go to sleep around 11:00pm, and I’m up at 5:30 or 6:00!
I’m kind of a night-owl…I usually go to bed around 2am.
I have touched an elephant. I was about 8 years old, it was a field trip to the zoo with my class.
Hi,
I usually go to bed at about 11pm. I’d love to go earlier but my hubs normally is awake quite long and I love to wait for him. Nothing less romantic to me than not going to bed the same time (or bringing the partner to bed if going to bed together is not possible). 🙂
Finally started doing the Pinterest option as well 🙂 Fingers crossed now!
Well, Karen, I never ever go to bed early. Nope, not even when I have to be up by 3AM for work. I have zero discipline when it comes to sleep, apparently, and I should honestly change that now that I’ve reached the big three-oh. I’ve never touched an elephant. But once, when I was seven, I slipped on the edge of the rug with a glass of water on my hand. Twas a perfect slip — the water didn’t even move.
I usually go to bed around 11pm 🙂
Touched an elephant in Thailand!
favorite drugstore makeup – maybelline master studio glaze blush stick in just pinched pink
favorite drugstore nonmakeup – weirdly ricola cough drops
I try to go to bed around eleven on a daily basis, and I’m easier on myself in the weekends 🙂
My fave drugstore product is Vaseline Lip Therapy. Unfortunately I developed allergies to a lot of lip products as a kid, so plain old Vaseline has always been my go-to for keeping my lips moisturized.
Hi karen, hope you are having a great weekend. I usually got to bed around 2 am, even with a 4 year old and 2 month old.
i go to bed at 7 pm
The time I go to bed varies – sometimes 11, but sometimes 1:30!
On days when I don’t run I try to do an exercise DVD. I really like turbo fire, it’s a lot of fun!
Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂 I’d love to win so I can stock up on one of my favorite beauty products- Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencils (in Zero) woohoo!
I’ve never touched an elephant before, would be so neat
I usually go to bed at 9:30 – my son doesn’t sleep in when I’m up late!
Yesterday I wore my new Michael Kors Bedford Flap crossbody bag with my black floral sundress and black/brown American Rag flats 🙂 The only place I went to was CVS haha
I usually go to bed around midnight.
I usually go to bed no later than 9:00 p.m. I like to get up early every day to have some time to myself before work.
I’m dying to see the new UD Vice palette!
My favourite drugstore product is the maybelline gel eyeliner.
I have not had a polydactyl cat but I wouldn’t say no to one if it came to my door! It’s more claws to trim but the big paws are super cute!
My work outfit is the same every day… teal scrubs! At least I get to wear cute hats and makeup.
I have never touched an elephant before but I’ve been on a camel before!
ive been eyeing the new becca rose gold highlighter!
I go to bed around 11 pm 🙂
I have touched an elephant at a circus when I was little. I can still remember how it felt, like old wrinkled leather.
I wish I had the opportunity to touch an elephant, but unfortunately, I have not.
My current favorite drugstore product is Maybelline Baby Lips. I have worn Cherry Me all summer long!
My favourite drugstore product has to be Ecotools brushes. I love how good quality they are- no shedding, easy to clean, precisely cut bristles, and cruelty-free. Love.
I try to be in bed by 10 during the week.
I might stay up until 11 or 11:30 on the weekends.
A drugstore favorite at the moment is the Loreal privee collection lipstick in the shade Jennifer’s nude. It’s absolutely gorgeous!!
I think I touched an elephant once when I was little at a circus, but I only vaguely remember it.
Current favorite drugstore item is Rimmel Scandal Eyes long wear cream eyeshadow. Really stays put!
i absolutely cannot do the splits! ouch!
I love this store, there are so many things you can find and always stays trendy
Ive never touched a elephant or even owned a pet. Ive always thought about getting a cat or dog but i always change my mind.
Happy Caturday! I rode on an elephant when I was 11 with my dad 🙂
I too am a big cat fan. And yes I have touched an elephant, I’ve even rode on one, when I was a kid.
I love animals but I’ve never touched an elephant.
Favorite makeup items are Marc Jacobs highliner eyeliner in Blacquer and RoCocoa, Chanel Les Beiges multi color powders in 01 and 02, and NYX butter lip glosses in Creme Brulee and Eclair.
Happy caturday hahaha that made laugh! Loved it 😀
I havent ever had a polydactyl cat, but my friend does, named Darwin, and he is the COOLEST CAT EVER!
He’s so damn smart and his meow seriously sounds like a person pretending to be a cat 😛
Good luck with your training! You’ll do great!
Alas, I can’t do the splits.
I usually go to bed at 10pm. I wake up early because of work so going to bed earlier grants me a few more hours of sweet dreams, lol.
I usually go to bed at eleven.
Thanks for the giveaway! I enjoy reading about new products and your fabulous tips!
I love elephants, but I’ve never touched one 🙂
I usually go to bed at 10pm……. early, I know, but I usually get up at 5:50, so, not so eraly after all…….
I feel like my outfit yesterday was soo lazy- loose jeans, constellation tee, white cardigan, and lazy hair up-do. Long shift at work, and I knew I would be moving around a lot, bleh!Very happy for the next 3 days off.
I go to sleep at 9:30 pm! I need my beauty sleep!
I can never fall asleep until around 12
I’ve ridden an elephant at the zoo. I go to bed around 9 because I have to get up at 4…
I LOVE L’oreal Telescopic! I’ve tried some higher end mascaras but they’ve done nothing for me compared to Telescopic. I also love Revlon Colorstay Whipped foundation, Prestige Waterproof retractable eyeliners, EOS lip balms, CeraVe facial cleansers, and Neutrogena sunscreen.
Yesterday was simple! Light beige cowl neck dress with a gold necklace, tight lined eyes, brows, and frizzy hair. I was liking it.
My favorite drugstore products are:
Beauty: Maybelline Eye Studio Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner. Just wish it were waterproof and smudge proof. Colour is to die for and the pen lets you go thick or thin.
Non-beauty…..uhhhhh….. Nada
• What time do you usually go to bed? Varies!
• Have you ever had a polydactyl cat? a wha? I’ve never had a cat, so I’ll say no.
• What’s your current favorite drugstore product (makeup, and also non-makeup)? NYX Buttergloss and Burts Bees sugar scrub
• Have you ever touched an elephant? Yes, I rode one at Marine World when I was a kid.
• Can you do the splits? I haven’t tried lately, so I bet I can’t!
• Tell me about your outfit yesterday (makeup, hair, clothes). MAC Simpsons makeup and workout clothes.
I usually go to bed at approx 11.45 pm. I like to watch the late night news.
I’ve been loving ELF’s Under Eye Primer lately – it literally makes ANY concealer blend like a dream and neverrrr crease!! Love it, will definitely be repurchasing it and it will be a permanent part of my daily routine.
I’m a bartender, so I usually go to bed between 2am and 4am. Nightowl!!!!
Current favorite drugs store makeup product? Definitely Vaseline rosy lips- it smells SO pretty and it stays on SO long. My lips have been drying out a whole lot recently and I have so many lip balms I use at night (Lush, Malin and Goetz, L’Occitane, EOS, Burts Bees, different face oils, and on and on and on) and they’re all great but literally none of them last as long as this one. All night, man. And it’s pink to boot, so it’s pretty.
Current favorite non-makeup drug store product? Johnson and Johnson Melt Away Stress Body Lotion. A friend got me a travel size for a trip to Europe a while back so the smell has happy memories, plus it moisturizes really well.
Have you considered swimming as a cross training exercise?
The time I usually go to sleep varies, but I always aim for midnight-1am. Have a great weekend, Karen!
I really want to get Becca’s rosegold highlighter- but it’s never in stock when I go to the store!
No on the splits!
I knew someone with a polydactyl cat, coolest paws ever!
Yesterdays outfit was black leggings, my fave suede light grey Nike, white sweater with a V-shaped décolleté, hair was just down all over the place, nothing special.
Now the makeup was something special – golden lid with INGLOT eyeshadow, Savage in the outer V, Slowburn as a light gradient through the socket of the eye (both UD “Electric palette”), AVON navy blue eyeliner both on top and on 1/3rd of the lower lid, also on the lower lid was a little bit of Fringe from UD as a gradient. All that topped up with generous coat of Perversion mascara. Blush was a light mix of Savage and sloburn and on my lips I had a true orange lippie from INGLOT with a pink, no shimmer, lipgloss on top (again from INGLOT) to create the illusion of a coral color (funnily enough I don’t own coral color lipgloss among the huge amount of lip products I have :D).
Sooo that’s about it 😀 Sry for the long post!
Since I’ve been out of work my sleep habits have gotten horrible. My regular bedtime now is 2AM! I used to wake up at 5:30 for work but always went to bed too late anyway, around 12:30 AM! I’m a night person I guess . . .
I got to play with two elephants at a zoo when I was fourteen. It was an awesome experience
I definitely can’t do the splits; however, I did get a lot more flexible when I started doing yoga. I need to get back into it!
I usually go to bed around 1:30am, I know pretty late lol.
I try to go to bed at ten every night.
I’m ready for cooler weather and fall!!
I would love to be able to do the splits. Can’t do it for anything!
Pit bulls are great dogs if they are raise correctly
Hey girl! I am loving the Garnier Moisture Renew gel cream for dry skin! A lotion that is a gel and absorbs quickly? Who thinks of this kind of concoction? Have a fabulous weekend!
I like to go to bed early! Before the 23 hours I’m in bed, but with a Masters in Education that I finish this year, we have time to get up, but not to sleep! 🙁
My favorite drug store product right now is the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Chocolate Suede from the Leathers collection. I hear (and hope) that it’s permanent….
never had a polydactyl cat, but would love one!
I’m an early to bed kind of girl. My pooch, Daisy, are in bed around 9pm. Us girls need our beauty sleep. 😉
I’ve ridden an elephant at the zoo before 🙂
Fav drugstore product at the moment are Biore pore strips!
Unfortunately, I cannot do the splits 🙁 I’ve always wanted to learn but I ain’t flexible enough for it
I go to sleep around 2 am every night, after midnight is when I find time to relax before falling asleep!
I can’t do splits 🙁
I love the cover girl 3 in 1 foundation and the Garnier dry shampoo
I love the naked palettes! (I have 1, 2 and basics 1) but would love to try out other Urban decay products! Perhaps even the naked 3!
I’ve been sleeping around 2am, which is pretty late for me since I have 8am classes on some days!
I ask this question every week, How do you get a pic next to your name?
I don’t know if this counts as drugstore, I think of it as high end drugstore, but I have been loving Pixi’s H2O Skintint.
I have also ridden an elephant!
My current favorite drugstore product is the new L’oreal Glossy Balm Sticks. They are the perfect everyday lipcolor and I love how comfortable they feel on the lips.
I usually sleep late around 1 am on the week ends and 12 am on weekdays.
Random fact, my fave haircare brand is Kerastase
I usually go to bed around 10:30 pm
When I was in 5th grade my family had a polydactyl cat. His name was Mickey Mantle and he was gray and white.
I’ve never had a polydactyl cat but I have three regular ones 🙂
My favorite drug store product is L’Oreal’s voluminous butterfly mascara. The stuff is AH-MAZING.
my fav drugstore items right now are the manga mascara, and all of the wet n wild lipsticks. love love love them
It’s finally raining where I live! I’ve been “drowning” in this really humid weather and am so happy it rained.
I love your blog! As a huge cat lover the cat pictures make my day!
I’m a night owl – up past 1am every night and up at 6:30 to get the kids off to school. I wish I could fall asleep earlier! And I always pick up a new NYX makeup item from the drugstore when I’m there!!
I wore navy scrubs, a pretty hat and a face mask because I’m a surgical assistant , but I always wear makeup anyway: Naked III palette is my current favorite for eyeshadows.
I have never had a polydactyl cat.
I don’t often buy drugstore make-up these days,but I’ve been liking the Rimmel Color Rush Balms! I was surprised with how much I like them,as I’ve had bad luck with Rimmel’s lip products in the past.
My outfit yesterday was slob city. Saturday is my day off from doing anything and we tend to sit around watching a lot of TV and/or movies.
I wore tracky pants, a huge T shirt from Mt Vernon (George Washington’s home), a huge hoodie from the Empire State Building, cosy socks and slippers.
My hair was tied back off my face and I had a snuggle rug over my legs, covered in cats (real cats).
*PS can you tell I get a lot of my slob gear as travel souvenirs?
Yesterday I wore a black dress from PUG Clothing and pink heels, my hair in a fishtail braid, with MAC Bombshell lipstick.
My outfit yesterday was oversized Target leggings and a Weezer shirt. Classy!
I would love to win, so I could finally buy a naked palette!
I’ve ridden an elephant twice – once in Vietnam, and the second time at the local state fair!
Yesterday was a lazy day so I went makeupless and wore gym clothes all day!
LOL. Yes, I have ridden an elephant.
I think I’m falling in love with someone…
I have two normal-pawed kittens, but I’d love to have moarrr
Karen, I am going to say that I have never had a polydactil cat though in actuality I do not know what that is. And now that I have looked it up I made a true statement. Thanks so much Karen.
I can’t do the splits but I can do a mean limbo!
Yesterday I wore brown dress (work appropriate), a high ponytail, and the left side (browns) of the Wet-n-Wild comfort zone palette.
My current fav drugstore product is Essense long lasting lipstick in Coral Calling. I actually use it as blush and it is a lovely color and lasts all day.
I like Milani eyeliners.
I try to stay up til 11. but i always fall asleep by 10-1030. i’m getting old and i don’t have the energy to have a nightlife anymore:(
I try to sleep before 10pm. And I love my naps!
I am in love with milani, nyx, and Rimmil. Each brand have their things I gravitate towards. With milani it’s their lipsticks and baked blushes, nyx it’s their lip liners, lippies, and setting sprays, Rimmil it’s their eyeliners and lip liners. They have other stuff I love but these are my fav, fav products.
My favorite drugstore make up has to be my Jordana eye pencil in almond its the best base ever. MY favorite non makeup thing from the drugstore has to be my yes to face wipes
I’ve never touched an elephant but have ridden on a camel!
I go to bed around 1am, get awakened often by my little guy throughout the night and then awakened for the day at 6am. Not much sleep in our household 🙁
I can almost do the splits (side-splits on both sides, actually) but my exercise has been put on hold recently due to an injured Achilles tendon, so I bet I’ve lost a few inches.
I go to bed around 10:00, back to school again!
I have touched an elephant and I absolutely adore them.
I usually go to bed around 9:30 but I don’t fall asleep until much later…insomnia sucks.
During the year I usually go to bed at midnight but during the summer I’m usually awake until 2
I try to go to bet as early as possible at nights but 11 p.m always seems to be my earliest
hi , karen !
–––––––––– my current fave drugstore product is milani’s “black cherry” lipstick .
–––––––––– my current fave non-makeup drugstore product is garnier’s clean+ nourishing cleansing oil . i received a sample & fell in love , so i bought the full size product . the scent is really nice & it makes my moisturizers sink into my dry skin much better to help retain moisture . 🙂
I can’t do the splits. My daughter can. Ballet lessons are good for that.
Can’t do the splits….yet. Getting some flexibility from Piyo workouts 🙂 (and no coach or whatever you call them here, I just do my own thing, and it’s awesome)
On weekdays I tried to be in bed my 11pm, on the weekend it’s between midnight and 1am.
I am such a bedtime procrastinator. I tell myself that 10 or 11 is the perfect time to go to bed, but I can never make before midnight.
I’ve never owned a cat before, but my pet doggy’s tongue lolls out hilariously when she’s excited. Also, she’s adept at kicking our door open to let herself in, but never shuts it of course…
i certainly cannot do the splits!
fingers crossed for the giveaway! i will be buying a new becca highlighter if i win 😉
Bedtime is a joke. I need to be in bed by 10pm during the week but it doesn’t always happen. Thank goodness for the weekends because I sure do catch up on my sleeping.
My favorite drugstore make-up is L’oreal True Match Foundation. I have been using for years! It is the only foundation that matches my skin exactly and goes on super smooth! I can’t live without it.
good luck on the half marathon karen!! Running a marathon (or half marathon) is something I’ve always wanted to do but have never put the work into.
My cat is kind of crazy! Depends on the time of day and her mood!
I’d totally by some more Sephora eye pencils and a Marc Jacobs Daisy rollerball with the gift card!
My favorite drugstore product is… anything by NYX.
i used to be able to do the splits lol before I grew up and now im not flexible
I try to be in bed by 10pm!
Nope :/ can’t do the splits.
What’s your current favorite drugstore product (makeup, and also non-makeup)?
Loving my ELF kabuki brush, Loreal miracle blur, Wet n Wild reserve your cabana!
I love Revlon lip products (makeup) and Cerave PM face lotion (non-makeup)
My outfit was the same yesterday as it is every day at work – a black dress and jimmy choo wedges. My dress code is all black and I only wear dresses as they’re so easy to wear. I long for color in my life and I find it in makeup.
I try to go to sleep by 11pm but I end up sleeping at 3-4am and then wake up by 7am
Oh Karen, I wish I had your motivation to get on the bandwagon with training. The skinny woman I have trapped inside me thought it would be a good idea to enter in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. It’s in two weeks. I’m rootin’ for ya and hope you do awesome in the marathon.
I’ve never had a cat (sad!) but I used to live in an apartment complex that had a couple of polydactyl cuties that’d roam the grounds! I loved that they had a little somethin’ extra.
love the giveaway
I rode on the back of an elephant in Thailand when I was about 9 years old. Not sure if it qualifies as a drugstore product but it was reasonably priced — I’m loving the Muji cleansing oil the past month.
MY outfit yesterday was jeggings and a t-shirt dress. Yay for lazy weekend outfits!
What’s your current favorite drugstore product (makeup, and also non-makeup)?
Almay get up and grow mascara and Nars lipstick in Pigalle.
I love Animals & Yes, I have touched an elephant when I was as little as 10 maybe 🙂 And My Dream is to touch Tigers & Lions!!!

Derma recommended Cera Ve front he drugstore!
Something i have been buying for ever at the drugstore is Sally Hansen Cream bleach i never mix it up

It was so humid outside today 🙁
About 11 p.m. is my bed time hour !
I adopted a 20 year old polydactyl cat from a comic book store once! Her name was Kelsey and she was part siamese, so she had a great meow.
I go to bed at 00:00
Yesterday’s outfit was very stylish….my PJs & a hoodie! xx
1. What time do you usually go to bed?
Around midnight.
2. Have you ever had a polydactyl cat?
Never but I have two cats… that makes a lot of toes!
3. What’s your current favorite drugstore product (makeup, and also non-makeup)?
NYX matte lipsticks… I’m addict.
4. Have you ever touched an elephant?
When I was little, an elephant stole my ice cream… it’s trunk brushed my hand… At the zoo an elephant touched me!
5. Can you do the splits?
???
6. Tell me about your outfit yesterday (makeup, hair, clothes).
I wore a red and black leopard dress, with black nail polish (camelot by A England) and matte burgundy lime crime lipstick and beautiful black sandals I found in LA during my beautiful holidays… I spent my evening taking part in a murder party!
Have a lovely sunday!
There’s this thing in my country that’s called “Hardcore”. It’s a fitness thing that’s probably designed to kill you if you don’t die of humiliation first. Things you may have to do- sprint up a 50 deg incline, roll down the next side, swim though a muddy pool (dunk your head in as well and do a doggy shake), take a plunge in the freezing sea, come back out then roll around in the sand until completely covered,, scale a coconut tree without any safety gear… all while paparazzi document your lifelong struggles.
Are you interested? 😀
My favourite drugstore product is anything by Catrice.
Hi! I love drugstore lipstick (and High end lipstick !!) ! I think i’m a lipstick addict! Xoxo
My favorite drug store product is the Maxfactor Clump defy mascara. Works like a charm and is pretty cheap 🙂
I have a hermaphrodite cat.
I can’t do the splits. My 8 year old daughter can and I’m so proud of her dancing/acro skills! 🙂 My outfit yesterday was a tshirt and jeans! 🙂
I have never touched an elephant, but I have a touched a snake 0_0 that was a weird feeling!
I just bought the Tarte amazonian escape palette on sale from Sephora, so yesterday’s make up look was all about taking it for a test drive! Why has it taken me so long to get on board with the amazonian clay blushes?! They are fantastic!
We are into Spring here in Australia and lately I’ve been obsessed with lilac/purple eyeshadows!!! I bought Nars Dual Intensity eyeshadow in Phoebe on Saturday and seriously it is gorgeous !! The formula, the texture and the pigmentation!! I can’t wait to try it out :)))
Half marathon sounds amazing. I try to get back into running myself, now, that the Little Bean is six months old. Still have some baby pounds stuck to my hips.
Hey Karen, my fave beauty stores products are the travel sized bottles of Cetaphil (great for on the go for some quick face cleaning).. Essie polishes… Maybelline lippe in Pink Please (perfect pink for my yellow skin tone), and Fit Me Concealer (not the ultimate best in coverage but does a pretty good job for a drug store brand)
My drugstore hit is my new brown/black mascara finally I like how a mascara looks on me, I think all this time it was the color.
I usually go to bed at 11, when is exams periods and I am running out of time to correct it can last till 1 o clock , but I wont do that anymore let them wait for their grades patiently. #NOTSTRESSING
Love your sephora giveaways – dying to buy a new ysl lip stain for fall…
I usually go to bed around 11pm
Still can’t believe it’s September already… 🙁
I usually go to bed at about 10, but then I sit and read till the small hours!! I love a good book.
I have never been able to do the splits!
Have you ever had a polydactyl cat?

Have you ever touched an elephant?
Can you do the splits?
Tell me about your outfit yesterday (makeup, hair, clothes).
I’ve never touched an elephant
Love your blog! Thanks for such a great contest!
My current favorite drugstore brand is NYX xtreme lip cream. It is super pigmented and shiny and still manages to leave a little bit of a stain after it has worn of. I also like to use Dr. Bronner’s bar soap in lavender before bed time, it helps me to relax!
I’ve never had a polydactyl cat, but I’ve only recently ever been able to have a cat at all…and her first birthday is coming up this week 😀 I’ve had her since she was a baby & I think we’re on the way to being like that old lady and the cat who are best friends – have you seen those pictures? So cute ( ; 4;) http://www.viralnova.com/woman-and-cat/
Hmm… what time do I go to sleep? What is sleep?
I have touched an elephant! In fact, I even got to ride on one when I was little..I was so scared I started crying though. I have also gotten to feed a giraffe.
Hooray for halfs!! They’re so great. A good challenge distance, very approachable, and pretty wing-able. I’m actually doing once this Saturday! Except that ever since my marathon in mid-July I still haven’t run more than 4 miles (the marathon killed my knees and hips) so we’ll see how it goes. Increasing too quickly and with too much intensity not recommended! As for cross-training, I see you don’t have a gym membership but is there a pool where you could swim laps? Hiking is also a fantastic complement to running if there are trails anywhere near you. A rigorous bike ride around the neighborhood works if you have a bicycle, or if you’re into yoga that counts! Yoga was mine during my marathon training; stretching is so important for runners, and you get the strength component too! Good luck, you can do it!!! I was actually going to post some marathon-inspired nail art soon plus my favorite running songs, I’ll have to let you know so you can get your jam list going <3
NYX HD powder and Pond’s BB cream are my current fave drugstore products.
my bedtime is anywhere from 11pm til 2am lolz.
I usually go to bed around 10:45, which is way too late for getting up at 5:50 during the work week.
I have touched an elephant- my nieces and I rode them at a circus we went to. To be honest, it made me incredibly sad to the point where I stopped taking them to circuses with animal acts. These were not happy elephants, you could feel the despair.
I sure would love to win this as a present, my birthday is in 9 days. Thanks for the opportunity to try! 🙂
Oh, wow, Karen! Kudos to you for attempting to do a marathon. You’re a braver soul than I am. X)
Oops, I meant to write half marathon…
I usually go to bed around 11 p.m. and sometimes the next day. That’s my life as a mommy of 5 very active boys:))
My cat Rambo would love the snacks! And yes, I’ve touched an elephant. They are one of my favorite animals
Happy Sunday!
I like elephants and rode on one when i was younger
yesterday I wore ugly the so not fashionable outfit for thrifting, but it really worked. All I need for thrifting are tight top, skirt, tights and socks to try clothes and shoes 🙂 Have a lovely week
I can’t do the splits right now but when I was really consistent with my yoga practice I came pretty close to doing the full splits.
My favorite drugstore non makeup product right now is Nexxus Color Assure pre-wash primer. It makes my hair look soooooooo much better.
i love nyx hd eye primer
I just got my lorac pro 2 palette in and it’s the bomb. I did my makeup with it yesterday and ended up with a super pretty grey minimal sparkles look. Plus a dark lip in hopes of forcing fall along.
Hiya! My favorite drug store makeup right now is Rimmel Kate Lipsticks. I was never really one for drug store brands but I had to cut my makeup budget so I decided to try a few and was pleasantly surprised with Rimmel’s lipsticks and their lip glosses. Plus, I love anything that says made in the UK 🙂
I took my daughter for an elephant ride when she was very young at the Bronx Zoo.
How awesome that you’re doing a half-marathon, Karen! I should consider doing one at least once in my life, but I can barely haul my butt out for a daily run around my neighborhood. I do, however, move around a lot everyday (including hour-long walks), and enjoy using Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day DVD! I exercise just to get moving, maintain my health, and she’s the best for that.
For the first time in a month, I have a quiet Sunday to myself! I have time to answer all those babies:
1) I hit the bed around 11 p.m., but I don’t go to bed until 12:30 a.m. I’m trying to wean myself off of using my phone so late at night! 🙁
2) I have never had my own cat boss, let alone a polydactyl cat. I really, really, need a Tabs in my life. Those walks I mentioned earlier? I’ve become acquainted with at least four neighborhood cats!
3) My current favorite drugstore product is good ole Aquaphor. It’s pure wizardry for dry elbows and KP-inflicted skin.
4) Yes, I have not only touched an elephant, I have ridden on one at the zoo. They are wonderful creatures.
5) I can’t do proper splits.
6) Yesterday was an errand-running day, so I just threw on a top, denim shorts, trusty sandal flip-flops, and a baseball hat. No makeup applied! Gotta let my skin breathe.
Happy Sunday, Karen, Tabs, everyone!
I didn’t touch an elephant.
I usually sleep around 11 pm!
Hi, karen! yay, you, for sticking to the training 🙂 a Jillian DVD always makes me feel fantastic afterwards. and it’s only 20-30 minutes!
i’ve ridden an elephant before. at marine world. i think it was an african elephant, so that made it even more awesome.
Yay! For this contest. I don’t have a favorite drugstore product but I’m looking for a good mascara
I rode a baby elephant when I was little!
I’ve never touched an elephant but I’d love to, they’re my favorite animals 🙂
I don’t really use drugstore makeup at all anymore, but I do love the elf eyeshadow brushes. Not make-up related, I’m loving this Simple moisturizing face wash.
thanks for the giveaway, planning to go shopping tomorrow if it isnt going to rain but it will lol.
My current favorite drugstore product are the NYX Butter Glosses! I hate sticky lip gloss and these are so creamy & nicely pigmented! And like $5!
I loved your MAC Simpsons post!! I love the Simpsons collection!! And it looked amazing on you! You’re a gorgeous gal!
What time do you usually go to bed? I work either evenings or overnight, so it’s either around 1am or 10am 🙂
Have you ever had a polydactyl cat? Yes! She was a total sweetheart.
What’s your current favorite drugstore product (makeup, and also non-makeup)? I can’t choose between these two: Physicians Formula Organic CC Cream (the BEST for my oily skin!!) and Rimmel Scandaleyes Retroglam! So in love with that mascara. It’s the only drugstore mascara to compete with high end brands as far as I’m concerned (for my stubborn shortish lashes!).
Have you ever touched an elephant? LOL no.
Can you do the splits? I used to be able to. I was a dancer.
Tell me about your outfit yesterday (makeup, hair, clothes). New stuff from Old Navy active! I LOVE their work out clothes! Curled hair and a new eyeshadow palette from Rimmel that I adore.
I usually go to bed at 10pm. I do try to go asleep earlier!
Never had a polydactyl cat though sometimes it seems so when we’re clipping kitty toe nails!
I kinda love the 99 cent NYC lipsticks, the shade selection is terrible but the quality is on point
My sleep has been so screwed up with school lately, so unfortunately no decent 8 hour nights for me!
I usually go to bed between 10pm-12am, depending on how tired I am. Yes, I can do the splits!!
I always go to bed way too late! I’m a night owl.
H Karen I love how much you love cats! I love makeup too. My fave product right now is my revlon grow luscious mascara! 🙂
Thank you.
Looking for a great eyeline. Any ideas
My outfit of most days consist of a t-shirt and a pair of shorts or sweatpants. I sure could use the Sephora card to get some make up for a start to a new makeover. Thanks for the chance!
I don’t think I’ve ever touched an elephant?! I feel like I would remember that!
I’m such a night owl, my bedtime is normally around 1:30-2am.
Thanks for having this giveaway!!
I usually go to bed at 9 on weekdays! In fact..I should be in bed now but I am here instead!
I had a polydactyl cat named Bijou. He was long haired black cat barn kitten that grew to be about 18 lbs and I adored him. He was so centered and majestic, and I loved how he looked when he walked with those big paws. He lived for 19 years and moved with me to 5 different states. Best cat ever. I’m sure you know how that is:-)
I’ve ridden an elephant before!
My current favorite drugstore makeup product has got to be my Milani Color Statement lipstick in Nude Creme. As for non-makeup, it’d probably be Pringles hahaha.
Favorite drugstore makeup item? NYC face compact powder in translucent. I use to use it in high school (many lunar cycles ago) and I recently rediscovered it. Now I remember why I liked it! For a translucent powder its neither too white cast and too beige.
Non makeup item, Walgreens candy. Um, have you tried the gummy peach candy? Why is it 10x more amazing than those over priced candy stores. They are tender, peachy and under 3 bucks.
Good luck with your training! I wish I enjoyed working out even a little bit, but ugh, it just takes all the willpower I have.
I go to bed during the week 10:00p.m. and on weekends whenever I get tired.
I have never owned a polydactyl cat. I had no idea that they existed! If they’re great for people with animal allergies then I wouldn’t mind considering it as a pet of my own ^-^
I can’t do splits. I can’t even touch my toes. :))
My favorite Drugstore makeup line is Millani hands down. Their line has everything anyone could ever need to make a plain gal look Bella Beautiful, and the best thing about Millani, beside its price, is it’s made with great ingredients. It stays where you put it whether on your eyes, lips or mascara,it doesn’t harm your skin and the colors are WOW! Seering the new line makes you want to buy all of it.
So my advise is get to your nearest Drugstore and fill your cart with everything Millani has to offer, then everytime you step out, all the other gals will be wowed and want to know where you got those lucious colors. Men will give you a 2nd look so just smile and know your look made not only you feel right, but in the end made your night!
My fav drugstore product right now is a tie between two products: Maybelline Falsies mascara and NYX HD shadow primer. Actually, it’s really just the NYX primer. I’ve tried Lorac, and UDs eye primers, but I go back to the NYX primer each time. Love it!
I was right next to an elephant walking by when I was a kid but I think I was too scared to touch it, and I definitely cannot do any splits~
i actually own a polydactyl cat! her name is petra and she’s a little over a year old 🙂 she’s a long hair white cat with blue eyes and the poor little thing is deaf, but she gets by and is the happiest, most cuddly cat i have ever owned! i have pictures of her up in my instagram account: http://instagram.com/lesbeans
It sort of depends on what is going to be happening the next day– but at least by midnight Im in to bed
I sleep way too late! Could be the reason my eye bags are always so big and dark 🙁
I usually go to bed at 2-3am depending on class or work. No earlier than 2am lol
I usually go to sleep at around ten pm because I have to be up super early for work!
I usually go to bed around 1am. Maybe even later since University has started.
My outfit yesterday was gray scrubs. And of course they were very flattering lol!
I get up ungodly early on work days, so I try to be in bed by 10, 9:30 if at all possible. I don’t always get there, but it is the goal. 😉
I’ve never touched an elephant nor have I seen one in person!
My favorite drugstore product is Covergirl bombshell mascara, I prefer it over all the other higher end brand mascaras that I’ve tried.
yay!
I had boba today. Honey milk tea. It’s my fave. 😀
I haven’t touched an elephant but would love the chance to see and touch one
Best of luck for your marathon training. I really need to start incorporating some sort of workout into my daily routine. Just running after the kids isn’t enough… *panting*
I sleep the most bizarre hours! I’m a night nurse and really just try to sleep when I’m tired. I’m also a reformed Chapstick addict. I need color under those awful flourescent lights, so I’m currently loving NYX Butter Balms.
So tired today, just another monday 🙂
I have touched an elephant and rode one at a fair once. Not a very comfortable ride. I have two cats, Merlin is a 22 year old Siamese, Angel is unknown age Black and White. She showed up at my window one night on a _30 below snow storm. We’ve loved her for 15 years now. We have one dog Snicker Doodles, and sadly my son just lost his companion of 15 years Scrappy Doo. When my eldest son was wounded in Iraq, Scrappy Doo was his side kick while I was away at my other sons side.
I love your reviews for lipsticks. I have lipstick obsession too 🙂
Hi Karen! I love your blog and your youtube channel! Have you ever gone surfing?
If it’s a good tv night, 11ish, though most nights I am dozing by 9! Perils of being old!
I’m a night owl.
My favorite drug store product at the moment is Milani lipsticks they are so creamy and pigmented, love them!
Bed time- Oh it varies but I like to be to bed by midnight.
I’m a day late and a dollar short (actually 2) on suggestions for cross-train day but I think a strength training DVD is perfect. I have a Power 90 (not P90X, the lighter version) that’s great for that. Lots of push-ups, ab work and hand weights. They have cheaper used versions: http://www.amazon.com/Power-90-Horton-In-Home-Transformation/dp/B0007D6V8U
Hiking is a good option, too. We did my favorite 3500 footer on Sunday for our first fall hike. Definitely a good workout. 🙂
I try to go to bed around midnight!
Paws crossed 😀
Hi Karen!
I have never trained for any type of marathon so good luck!
I go to bed around 10:30.
Never touch an elephant.
Yes, i did the splits in Feb without warming up and pulled a muscle deep in my butt cheek. It still hurts if i sit too long. Splits are overrated.
Yesterday, i wore a really cute black dress from Cotton On. Hugged my curves and has a deep V neck. Only $25 and got the other color in grey too.
I had fun with my makeup/outfit yesterday because we went to a nice restaurant for my friend’s birthday! I used Pur Minerals dark spot correcting primer, Tarte Amazonian Clay 12HR foundation, Kat Von D Tattoo concealer, Mac Pro Longwear concealer, MAC Melba blush, Milani Sunset Baked Bronzer, Benefit Gimme Brow, MAC Global Glow MSF, and for eyes- Jordana Continuous Almond pencil, Kat Von D Unrequited, UD Naked3 in Factory and Strange, NARS Galapagos, L’Oreal Amber Rush, Kat Von D Immortal Love Autograph pencil, and Tarte Lights Camera Lashes mascara- whew!! And finished with UD De-Slick spray. Dress was a cutout floral maxi (looks like Vanessa Hudgens’ dress you see on Pinterest a lot).
Oh damn and my lip color was NYX Butter lipstick in Snow Cap! Always guts me to forget something! 😛
I usually go to bed around 12am.
I get in bed around 10pm and TRY to turn off my phone or Kindle by 10:30.
My favorites drugstore item is Alma waterproof makeup remover pads. The best at getting all my eye makeup off!!
Almay *
my bedtime is 1030
Great blog, I need you to go over MAC face and bod in a tutorial please
Favourite drugstore product right now is my NYX soft matte lip cream
UsI usually go to bed at 10amI usu
I usually go to bed at 10am
S-th, my bedtime is 10:30/11pm. Friday – Sat, its 1-2am.
I don’t think I’ve ever touched an elephant, but I’ve touched a little baby shark!
I go to bed around midnight 1AM. I work 9-5 so it’s not ideal. I’ve never had a poly-dactyl cat. My current favorite drugstore makeup is the Maybelline color whispers, so creamy and pretty. I love Boots No 7 sensitive skin body wash (which they now sell at Duane Reade.)I’ve unfortunately never touched an elephant. I’m close to a vertical split in yoga! Yesterday I wore black peg pants and a cream textured crop top from HM with my lazy orange flip flops. I put a lot more effort into my makeup, Face: Becca cream foundation, Nars madly blush, hourglass ambient light powder to highlight. Eyes: Bare Minerals 5 in one base, mac’s natural wilderness eye shadow in the crease, too faced better than sex, Nars via appia on my lower lash line and lips: MAC cherish.
I am usually in bed and asleep my 10pm during the week. #soboring
I can’t do the splits and somehow I think I missed the window for ever learning… you won’t catch me trying that now without LOTS of yoga!
I am in work 🙁
Maaan, I had a feral polydactyl cat that lived in my shed i my back yard. His paws were HUGE and he was all black with patches of white and black and he had little white socks on all 4 paws…we called him Socks. He was a true pimp.
so my programm ist a little bit crasy i am nurse and i go to bed at 7 or 10 in the morning or at 20-23!!
when i was 13years old my mother gave my a cat for birthday present
What time do I go to bed? Never. I always seem to end up getting distracted and not going to sleep until midnight or later. It’s a problem.
I am nowhere near flexible enough to do the splits and I love Milani’s Bella eyeshadows!!
Happy Monday!
Here’s to hoping everyone has a great week!!
Never touched an elephant. Rode one as a child but they wouldn’t let you touch him. Giraffe’s feel like horses though!
I wore fashion fair cream makeup for 30 years because my mom wore it. I have dry skin and I was modeling and doing a little tv back then. They changed their packaging and I thought oh boy and sure enough the makeup was different as well. I went online and ordered my first mineral powder thinking no way will I get coverage like the cream. Not only do I get great coverage you can’t tell I have on makeup!! I love it.
Love you!!
I luv Revlon nail polish! I thought I’d try buying it online, hopped onto an online store, next thing i know my cart has forty some shades, and these were only the one’s that I LIKED!
Happy Monday! I start work at 7am so I’m usually getting ready for bed around 9 and then read for as long as I’ll let myself. 🙂
favorite drugstore product is the pixie lash booster mascara.I dont wear anything else!
Awesome giveaway!!!!
My cousin has a polydactyl cat named Mittens, but i always forget her name and call her Thumbs. Oops. 😀
I tried the NARS Dual Intensity eyeshadow in Dione on my lids with Chrome (outer ‘V’) and Cool Gray (in the crease) from the LORAC Pro 2 palette and UD’s Underground and Hustle eye liner pencils, and it turned out to be a great eye shadow look 🙂
I had several polydactyl cats while growing up. I think their paws look adorable.
I have a black cat now that has thumbs.lol.shes so trippy to watch walk, kinda looks like a gorrila.altho I gotta watch her hidden claw between the thumb&other normal ones.last time it had almost curled back underneath the ..finger..claw?
I love Diet Coke
I have YET to try any of the Naked palettes!!
My outfit yesterday was a crop top, denim shorts & a floral bomber jacket 🙂 Going to miss this warm weather!
I go to bed at 9:00pm to wake up at 5:00am.
I love your blog, Karen!! I also love cats…I have 4….2 shy of ‘crazy cat lady’ status….at least that’s what I tell myself.
I have in fact RIDDEN an elephant!
Well yesterday I stayed home doing homework so my outfit was: sweatpants and an old t-shirt.
Yes, I’ve touched an elephant but never rode on one yet!
Both my kitties are on prescription diets and have weight issues, so no treats for them. 🙁
My favorite drugstore product is the Mabelline Color Tatoos! I own so many of them and I can’t resist buying more!
