Pretty good! I got eight hours o’ glorious sleep last night and feel rested and recharged. 🙂
1) Kittens, 2) finding something great on sale and 3) the smell of freshly brewed coffee
Now, mostly workout clothes — tank tops, t-shirts and yoga pants. That way, I’m already dressed to exercise first thing in the morning if the rhythm hits me. Oh, and if a fire breaks out sometime in the night and I have to make a mad dash outside, I’ll be dressed for it… Don’t want my goods hanging out for all the neighbors to see.
You may already know this one — the yellow platform sandals I got on sale at Aerosoles a few years ago.
I’m in product testing mode today and wearing a bunch of random but promising things: Hard Candy 1,000 Lashes Fiberized Mascara in Mermaid Teal/Illamasqua Sheer Lipgoss in Electrify/Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Promise
Last weekend I re-discovered my love for Jamba Juice’s Orange Dream Machine.
Nope, but I do have astonishing toe control. I can hold a pen and write with ’em!
Rosebud Salve… I like the way it smells and feels, but my lips need more moisture. And (yep, I know it’s weird), I don’t like dipping my fingers in the tin.
Ha! The layered workout ensemble I wore to bed last night — a gray hoodie over a brown tank top over a brown t-shirt. I’m getting ready to change into jeans and a white tank top here in a minute. Yep, I’m all about tank tops today.
Adhere to a stricter freelance writing and blogging schedule (I’ve been known to spend 100 hours/week on blogging), avoid junk food, exercise at least three times, and finally deal with the mountain of cardboard boxes in the dining room.
What’s shakin’, turkey bacon? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could grab a cup of coffee in the break room this morning and gab about the weekend (le sigh!)?
For now, I guess the Monday Poll will have to do.

10. Your weekly goals: Get a lot done on the baby blanket I’m knitting, schedule a few presentations at my church to get more ministry partners… this internship might be the death of me!
Hi Lo,
Coffee and gab sesh it is, then!
Hmm, I am a HUGE fan of cream blushes… now I’m on a mission to convert you, ha ha! Which ones have you tried? Do you apply before or after foundation?
I’ve only used drugstore brands (Revlon and Maybelline) and the Pixi gel blush, and I use them after foundation. But they always look so pretty and fresh and glowy, so I’m definitely open to conversion. I really want one that’s decent quality and not too expensive!
I haven’t used the Revlon or Maybelline ones, so I can’t really throw in my two cents, but the department store brands I’ve tried are the shizz! Illamasqua makes a good one (plus the pan is huge), as well as MAC and Laura Mercier. All of these blend really well into the skin and stay all day.
1. Mood: stressed for my last final, and really sad that Lost is over! 🙁
2. Three things that bring a smile to your face? Dancing, puppies, and moments when you feel really connected and content with another person
3. What do you wear to sleep? Usually pajama pants or soffe shorts with a tank top or a tshirt

9. Outfit: Comfy, just dark jeans and a gray fitted tshirt
10. Your weekly goals: Pack up my dorm room, do well on my final grades, and keep positive about job hunting!
Hi Debbie,
I feel the same way about the original UDPP. Have you tried the new Eden version? It’s way better.
Good luck on your last final!
1. Mood: knackered but very satisfied 🙂
2. Three things that bring a smile to your face? good food, great music, my friends & family
3. What do you wear to sleep? knickers and a t-shirt (but there’s always a pair of sweatpants or sth closeby if I need to make a mad dash out of bed ;))

.-= Karen B’s last blog post… Friday Fame: Ruffles & Layers =-.
LOL, my speed racer days are over. The only fast days I ever have now are the ones when I drink a cup of coffee beforehand. I guess I will have to vicariously live through you!!

Oooh, what cakes are you baking? I have a major sweet tooth and need to vicariously live through you, ha ha. 🙂
I also suffer from a killer sweet tooth 😀 I’m just making him a regular old birthday cake, I made 2 mini ones so I could layer it. I decided to go with the “funfetti” kind to make it look all festive. And, since I was feeling especially daring after the fondant I decided to put a vanilla/lime creme layer in the middle. Should be yummy summer fun!
<3 your blog Karen, Happy Monday!
Gosh that sounds delicious. I’ve been craving light cakes lately and just reading your comment made my tummy rumble. He’s going to love it, I’m sure.

Hi Toni,
You’re wearing one of my favorite Chanel colors today, Safari. 🙂
Glad to hear your son’s party was fun. Was it an end of the year celebration?
I love the Chanel Safari! Lily is part of the new matte eyeshadow collection. The next color I want to get is Slate (also from the new matte collection).
It was an end of the year celebration from school. He’s in a mild autism class, so we had it in the “sensory room”. The boys had a blast with the bubble machine and the light machine. They loved the snacks and craft activities too. Only 2 more days of school for him, but homeschooling for my daughter will be going on for awhile (we started in September instead of August).
1. Mood: Optimistic, but a little disappointed b/c I slept in WAY too late today!
2. Three things that bring a smile to your face? 1) a snuggle from my kitties 2) random compliments from the fiance 3) walking past the big “Sephora: Coming Soon” sign in my local mall!
3. What do you wear to sleep? usually PJ pants and an old t-shirt
4. Your favorite pair of shoes? This past winter, I got a pair of knee-high black Coach riding boots. I could only afford them because they were on super-sale. I feel so classy when I wear them!
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Nothing yet, but I know that on my eyes, I’ll be trying out Hard Candy “Walk the Line” liquid eyeliner, and on my lips, I’ll be trying out their Mouthing Off gloss. Probably Tarte cheek stain in “Blissful” on my cheeks- that’s my usual.
6. Your latest food/snack obsession? Pita chips w/ cinnamon and sugar!
7. Are you double jointed? No way- I’m barely even single jointed! I’m the least flexible person ever!
8. What’s one beauty product that everyone else raves about yet doesn’t rock your boat? Bare Minerals, fo sho! I have very sensitive skin and was drawn in by all of the claims that “it’s so gentle, you can sleep in it!” (Not that I would…) But it ended up giving me a big red rash all over my face!
9. Outfit: Still in pj’s… how embarrassing!
10. Your weekly goals: Get the house clean, finish up a draft of a paper I’m trying to get published!
Karen, I’m excited to hear your review of the Hard Candy mascara! Just yesterday, I went out to WalMart and bought a few HC things to try. So far, I can report that the nail polish is quite nice!
Hi Alison,
Oh cool! What Hard Candy items did you end up getting? What do you think of Walk the Line?
Right now I’m working on a review of the Take Me Out Liners.
BTW, I had the same trubs with Bare Minerals. It totally made me break out!
I got:
two nail polishes: Envy, which is a very dark green shimmer (looks black until the light hits it) and Frenzy, a creamy turquoise
Walk the Line in Praline (shimmery bronze-brown)
and Mouthing Off lip gloss in Exotic (a weird color- looks like coral with lots of gold shine in the tube, but when you look at it on the wand, the gloss itself is more like a magenta)
So far, I really like it all! The Walk the Line liner has a really nice brush and applies really smoothly. The only slight problem is that it takes a while to dry. I ended up with some in the crease because i didn’t keep my eye shut long enough! But it seems like it has real staying power.
1. Mood: a little tired, and not really wanting to go to work.
2. Three things that bring a smile to your face? cats, babies, my bf!
3. What do you wear to sleep? black shorts, bf’s tee
4. Your favorite pair of shoes? hmm…probably my ugg moccasins. they’re soo beat though, totally falling apart :/
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: nothing yet, i haven’t even washed my face yet!
6. Your latest food/snack obsession? hmm. i’ve had an ongoing obsession with blueberry muffins…i have them every morning for breakfast
7. Are you double jointed? no
8. What’s one beauty product that everyone else raves about yet doesn’t rock your boat? ugh, DiorShow. it just doesn’t work for me! totally unimpressed.
9. Outfit: PJ shorts, black tank
10. Your weekly goals: hm. go to yoga, save my $$, ya know, the usual.
Hi Melissa,
Tell me about your kittehs! From what I recall you have Persians, right?
yes! i have 7 cats…yes…7! the father of most of them is a himalayan, mom is a silver persian and so the babies (well, they’re 6 now so not really babies but)…i guess are mostly persian, considering himalayans are part persian! soo cute, i love them soo much. we also have two adopted cats to even out the mix, but they don’t know better and think that they are long-haired, flat-faced beauties as well! 🙂
Aww, fur family!! I sometimes wish Tabs wasn’t snipped… I would love for him to father and awesome litter of fabulous little tabbies for me love. 😀
What type of kittehs are your adopted cats?
i know! it was so fun to have our very own kittens! my mom wanted us (me and my brother) to experience the joy of having baby kitties while we were young, and it was so amazing! the strays are black and white mutts, they’re from the same litter and they came as a package deal. they have longish hair, so i think they think they’re part of the brood, hehe 🙂 funny thing is, my bf claimed to not like cats when we met, but as soon as one of them crawled under the covers with us one night, he was hooked! they like him more than me sometimes i think! 🙂
1. Mood: Good! Had a good weekend with the boy, although I could use more sleep. 🙂

I never understood the hype over Maybelline Great Lash, either! It smudges like CRAZY on me.
it always slides right off my lashes and i’m left with big black splodges under my eyes! And I don’t think it’s too great for volumising either….it’s ok for length I suppose!
No kidding. I suppose the waterproof version is OK, but it’s nothing to write home about.
1. Mood: OK, feeling lazy and sleepy. at work right now…yikes

MAC Pigments. I can see myself liking/using the neutral ones, but I’m gonna pass the more funky coloured ones.

10. Your weekly goals: Try not to skip working out. I need to finish Level 1 30 Day Shred. I skipped an entire week a week ago, so I restarted, butI skip 2-3 days last week (I don’t really remember). So I’m a bad bad girl. I’ll try my best not to skip anymore. Oh and I also need to control how much I eat at night. I find myself doing really well in the morning, but eating too much during dinner! Limiting myself only to a medium size bowl of food.
I hope everyone is having a great Monday! Say it with Karen, “I’m having a great week!” LOL

1. Mood: Miserable. I came down with a fever, body ache, etc several hours after SO left for a weekend camping trip on Friday and have steadily progressed now to what I believe is a sinus infection (complete with pounding migraine the entire time).

10. Your weekly goals: At this point, getting better is priority #1. So disappointing because I’d had a bad last week and all I was looking forward to over the weekend was to get a breather, finish cleaning the apartment and study well for the two things, work on some group projects…. uggggh. ;_;

Hi Catherine,
Poor thing! I hope that you feel better soon… hang in there, and take care of yourself.
Thanks Karen! I just got back from the doctor’s and I’m trying to motivate myself to take a shower LOL…. everything is 10x harder when you’re sick. Happily I don’t quite have a sinus infection yet so my #1 goal is to take good care of myself so this doesn’t turn into one. Those traditionally knock me out for about 10 days and there’s only 2 weeks left in the quarter!
.-= Catherine’s last blog post… Friday FOTD: NARS Torrid & tokidoki Devil Girl =-.

.-= gio’s last blog post… 3 Reasons Why You Should Use Retinoids =-.
Hi Gio,
What are your favorite brands? I’d love to hear what you like in terms of color!
Hi Karen,
one of my favourite brands ever is Sleek. It’s an UK brand and I adore their eyeshadow palettes, which contain 12 shades and are very cheap. All the colors are very pigmented, soft and easy to blend. They also came out with a palette with neon shades, which for a fan of bold shades like me, was a dream come true. Sugarpill also makes colorful shades which have fantastic color payoff.
I also love mineral makeup companies like Fyrinnae and Beauty from the Earth which offer practically any color you can think of and are all very pigmented and cheap too. I understand that not everyone likes using pigments though as they can be messy especially if you don’t have much time to get ready.

Hows Hawaii? I was there in late March, was my first visit ever! Had a blast, was at the other end of your photo (closer to DH than you are now)… it was nice temps, mid 70’s to lower 80s.
🙂
I miss the ABC stores on EVERY corner, but I did find the nice Asian? store for makeup that had a good variety of nail polish across from either the DFS mall and/or another little 2-3 story mall inside a building complex. I recall the store because just down the street east to it was a new lady who was opening up a sweets booth but couldn’t give out samples before 4pm? Werid!

Hi Steph B,
Oh, I have many a pair like your patent croc heels. They look nice while you’re sitting, but anything beyond a block or two is pretty much not happening. I wore a pair to the graduation on Sunday and was hating life as we were trekking all over the campus.
But onto more exciting things, like your birthday week!! Got any big plans?
I even wear a different pair for the commute and they still can’t make it through the day. Such a shame cause I love em so much.
Multiple birthday drinks/dinners and then either a trail hike or trip to the shore this weekend. And picking up some MAC to the Beach — nice of them to release a birthday collection for me!
