NOTE TO SELF: Typing is kind of hard when you’re wearing gloves…even if they’re fingerless and have an extremely cute snow leopard-print pattern.
My inner cat lady mistakenly assumed that kitty-print gloves would be more conducive to typing.
Yup, we live and learn…
I broke down and got those Betsey Johnson black and gray leopard-print knit gloves we talked about earlier this week. You remember — I was tempted the first time I saw them, but I forgot the gift card I wanted to use at home.
At the time I figured that if the universe wanted me to have fingerless leopard gloves in my life, the gloves would still be at Nordstrom on my next visit, and lo-and-behold, they were! 🙂
Now, you might be wondering why I’m wearing them inside the house to type. Well…why not? I’m in the kitchen, which is the coldest room in the house, and it’s particularly chilly this morning (I’m wearing a parka and gloves to make coffee and type).
But that’s not even the funniest part. Get this: the thermostat is set for 65 degrees…so on the global scheme of things, it really ain’t that cold in here, haha! I’m just not designed for cold.
So what’s on your plate today? Other than staying warm, I have a few chores to do (Blergh! Although I do love having a clean bathroom…) and some Christmas shopping, and hopefully I’ll have time to film one or two new videos. I’ve really been enjoying the video thing so far and want to keep exploring.

My goal for today: find those gloves!
I love popcorn! My favorite is the kettle-cooked ones because they’re a bit sweeter than the regular popcorn 🙂
I’m so uncool, I don’t think I have a starbucks drink of choice, every time I go I have to mix it up.
My goal, to study for math test.
Hi Karen, I really want that scarf matching the gloves. I think I will be at macy’s today and they have it too…My current favorite Starbucks drink is a Chestnut praline latte, skim milk, no whip- delicious! Have you tried it?
I live in small town Canada so the nearest Starbucks is an hour away. We do, of course, have a Tim Hortons where I love to get Iced Cappuccinos! I also add in a flavor shot of hazelnut or vanilla, and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, its GOOD!!!!!!!
My Starbucks drink of choice is a chai tea latte! Hot in the winter and iced in the summer.
I’m not designed for the cold too! I’m a TROPICAL person. I have the heat cranked up to 75 right now.
Popcorn! Although Junior Mints are good too.
Today’s my birthday so I’m hoping for some birthday luck. 😉
My favorite movie snack is chocolate covered raisins & popcorn together. The best salty-sweet combo!

I own way too many scrunchies. Especially considering my age. lol
karen! it’s 65 in your place?! we set our thermostat to 68/69 and i think it’s still cold with a sweater on, and a blanket! hahha.
i’m headed to the MAC chair! i made a list of what i want ($50 minimum purchase when make up is being done up). I’m bummed that they don’t have the oval 6 brush (it’s inside a Macy*s, that’s why), but i have my eye on the 159. 😀 then off to The Man’s christmas party! gona look fantabulous. Rent the Runway for your next awesome dress needs!

I try never to leave the house without mascara and something on my lips.

My favorite Starbucks drink is an Iced Coffee. ALWAYS. So much love for them. I own the Starbucks Coffee machine so I make them at home allll the time. So convenient! I love that thing.
I don’t have a favorite Starbucks drink. I don’t go there very often, but when I do, I just choose whatever appeals to my mood that day.
I need to do some Christmas shopping BAD today, but we are getting hit with TONS of snow 🙁 Hopefully the snow will slow by tonight so I can go out. I also need my husband to hit Sephora for my Naked3 before it’s sold out lol!

Just heard your voice for the first time last week with your videos and it shocked me a little! I don’t know why but i always put on a much more serious voice in my head when reading your post! Considering that i’ve been reading your blog since i was 18( im 22 now), it was pretty funny
I don’t think I own any scrunchies!
Popcorn! lightly salty, is perfect!
Just got back from a walk, and it’s 14 degrees out — brisk and refreshing, I call it! Under I cool off (I warm up a lot when I exercise), then I’ll be wanting a hot cup of tea. Hope I win this time!

I just got a new puppy!

My parents have a cottage on the river banks. They have had it ever since I was 15. We have atv’s so it was really easy to find the most peaceful place. Anyway my favorite place was a cliff that overlooked the river you can see the whole family. It was so beautiful.

When watching TV I prefer to drink tea, not eat.
i was on our version of good morning america as a child
I was on a tv travel show years ago, being interviewed when I worked for a foreign airline and talking about the destination country. It was live, and I had very little prep time,so it was tricky but cool.
its so cold here!

Happy Saturday!
Lately, my Starbucks drink of choice has been a Peppermint Mocha… so festive! 🙂
hopefully staying warm today
On my way to the Renegade Craft
I love white hot chocolate from Starbucks
Favorite Starbucks drink during these cold winter months – it’s got to be the peppermint mocha!!! Haven’t tried the eggnog latte but am so curious, if anyone has any strong feelings about it I wouldn’t mind hearing them!
I’m a glove junkie and i’ve been looking at those fingerless ones…. i’ll have to have a pair.
I usually order a shot in the dark at Starbucks!

coastal scents under eye brightener, maybelline dreammatte powder. That’s all I need!
Even though its so so SO very cold outside im going to Starbucks today to get a double chocolate chip frappy! Yum!
I’m a Twizzlers girl at the movies – always make myself sick, and never learn…
well I was not exactly on Radio program, but there was a conversation with me live on a Radio program last thursday. I won a intro quiz had to guess the name of the song and artist and sms to the radio. The next morning they call the winner, I was the winner, well our puppies made themselves present cause they where barking at the guy who check the water meter in our house, and the Dogs are inside, so Yes you could hear them clearly barking on the radio LIVE when I picked up the phone, both of them, it was very funny actually. The liked that in the radio station 🙂 now our puppies are kind of famous hehehe.
Ohhh ~ I could really use a mocha just about now! It is freezing.
I love Junior Mints at the movies!! 🙂
When I am on the go, my makeup routine consists of throwing on some bb cream, mascara, Revlon’s lip butter in Red Velvet and a light dusting of bronzer. And nothing keeps me cozy in winter than ordering a tall chai latte with soy from Starbucks.
Its a winter wonderland outside today! Its so beautiful though!
My favorite starbucks drink is their java chip frappuccinos!
Believe it or not, my favorite Starbucks drink is a Decaf Pike’s Place, which is their medium roast. I only put a little bit of cream in it, but no sugar. I absolutely love it!! It makes me feel happy, energized, and comforted at the same time. I’m getting so accustomed to only drinking Starbucks coffee now. I think I might be getting a little spoiled!! Anyway, would love to win a Sephora gift card. Great place!! Thanks for another giveaway Karen!!
My favorite in theater snack is Reese’s pieces and my at home snack is cucumbers with italian dressing
Simonetta gloves from Italy (available in the US too) were the best and very affordable leather gloves I bought in Florence recently. Madova gloves were a close second.
My favorite movie snack is definitely popcorn. XD
I like popcorn for movies
I’ve been on the lookout for similar gloves… Any kind of leopard print automatically makes me feel warmer (and faster, and cuter — leopards know what’s up)!
Tall decaf americano!
I’ve never been on a radio show, but my brother has, my grandma has a local radio program with her friend and it is a german radio program, funny story, the show she is on has a rival on the same station (most of the other shows are other non german ethnic programs) and despite them all being in their 70’s they have quite the rivalry. 🙂
Even though I feel completely obnoxious ordering this at Starbucks, I love me a venti misto decaf with a shot of sugar free vanilla. So delicious! 🙂
I love Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte.
My favorite movie snack of choice is lightly buttered popcorn w/ plain M&M’s mixed in. That salty sweetness is so delicious watching any movie.
I really need to update my makeup and would love to win this. I need some new eye shadow and would love to get some purples and pinks because I’ve been wearing brown and tans and I’m bored with them.
My hands down fave Starbucks drink is a Viente Vanilla Latte, extra foam, sprinkle a little cinnamon and vanilla powder on top…and it may sound weird but I ask them to make it at 140 degrees. It’s referred to usually as “drinkable”. (they normally brew their drinks to 160 degrees but for me I always end up waiting then for it to cool off a little). 🙂
Ahaha. I’m supposed to be working on converting a long-neglected website over to a WordPress platform. Instead, I’m entering contests, and laughing my head off at your L’Oreal tabby cat. My favourite Starbucks drink is mocha frappucino, skinny. But it’s too cold for that, and I live 200km from the nearest Starbucks, so I’m drinking coffee, goofing around on the computer and watching the snow come down.
My go too grab and go products are definitely some sort of BBcream, I’ve been using Flower by Drew Berrymore and I’ve been loving Elizabeth Arden mascara, does all it should for my lashes in one coat! These are the things I at least wear to class, even during finals week
11 days until Christmas!! I’m so excited (:

It is snowing here again.
I like to eat nachos during movies, but i know they’re noisy.
Right now my Starbucks drink of choice is a tall Peppermint Mocha with soy milk…yumm! Thats because I’m 8 months pregnant and craving everything peppermint..lol
My fave Starbucks drink is the coffee frap! Yum!

Just found your blog today when I was googling around some product reviews and I love it! 🙂 Subscribed, even though I know that is a bad idea because I will probably go out and buy every single makeup item you recommend.
I love earl gray tea but all the Starbucks around me make horrible tea! Especially the ‘london fog’. I thought it would be yummy but it was just bland… and too hot!
My peaceful place is a little porch off of my living room.
thanks so much for the awesome chance !:)
Mine is set to like 75 or 80 ha! And even then I’m still wearing a sweater and slipper boots
My essential, everyday throw-on-and-go makeup product is a sheer red lip balm/tint/whatever. A sheer red is hard to mess up and doesn’t look too “done,” but it still makes a simple face look more polished.
When I go to the movies I usually get a pretzel or frozen yoghurt or share popcorn with my friends.
0 Scrunchies for me. 🙂
I’m living scrunchie-free these days–the grand count is zero!

We’re lounging at home watching movies tonight and I made cookies, so cookies are my fav movie snack right now. Homemade Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. Ohhh yes, I did go there girl 🙂
My favorite “on-the-go” makeup product is the bobbi brown touch up stick! It is the size of a lipstick and I use it during the day to cover up redness or imperfections that through the day become visible! It takes a swipe and a blend and-voila! It is my absolute purse must have!
I’ve been on radio AND TV. I had my own weekly show for kids on radio when I was around 6/7yrs old. And took part in soooo many TV game shows…won most of them too. What I really enjoyed about that was seeing the makeip artist open his/her vanity case and seeing all the makeup in it. And of course, having my makeup done….hehe.. always a fun thing.

soy vanilla latte!
I LOVE THE NAKED 3 PALETTE!!
The nearby Cinerama makes chocolate popcorn, and you can either get it by itself or mixed with regular buttered popcorn. I was wary of it at first, but now I crave it … it tastes like Cocoa Krispies. Hands down, it’s my favorite movie snack.
It’s gotta be a caramel frappucino — venti! 😀
Thanks for the giveaway! There are so, so many things I’d love to buy from Sephora. Lately I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time on their site.

My favorite drink is Greentea Frap
throw-on-and-go products are just a bit concealer if needed, mascara, blush and a bolder but low-maintenance lip colour – it just brings life to my face, when I wear a reddish or bright pink lip even if I don’t have much make-up elsewhere
oh, thats easy! my fav starbucks drink is their caramel frappuccino with extra cream and caramel drizzle. Mmmmmh!
I have never had Starbucks! It’s not as big in Australia.
I’m sensitive to cold as well, so I’m frequently bundled up in my house. I’ve read that it’s good to keep your environment fairly cool though, as it amps up the metabolism!
Great giveaway, hope I win! So many things I would like to get from Sephora! Thx!
I love Starbucks Green tea smoothie
No Starbucks in South Africa ,booh hoo !Never ever tasted the juice.Hope it comes here one day .I follow by e mail and have tweeted @ReneGroyer
My fall/winter drink at Starbucks would be Pumpin spiced latte with soy milk! One of the good things when the winter time is here , to drink more of this very gooooood stuff!
I’m in! I am suffering today (had a little too much to drink last night) so I could really use a mood booster. Thanks Karen!
I love weekends when all I have to do are chores around the house and run errands! There’s nothing more satisfying than completing a chore and feeling like you can cross it off your to-do list…or um…am I the only one who feels this way?! 🙂
My Starbuck’s favorite is their Caramel Macchiato!
On my days off, I usually use a BB cream. It’s faster than doing ‘the works’ in terms of foundation, plus it’s supposed to have skincare in it – so I fell like it’s better for my skin.
I just started going to this cool watch-n-dine movie theater a few neighborhoods away from me (I live in Brooklyn, NY!). It’s AWESOME but has totally skewed view on the typical movie-going experience! I entered a simple girl wanting a small Coke and some popcorn… and left wishing every theater offered pork tacos with plum sauce and St Germain drinks! Yum… so good.
throw on and go makeup products are laura mercier tinted moisturizer, urban decay’s tease eyeshadow, mac’s syrup lipstick, tarte’s black eyeliner, and both of the tarte mascaras.
I have been on a friends weekly podcast before.. does that count for tv/radio show?
the most peaceful place i know is the lauritzen gardens here in omaha nebraska.
I’ve been interviewed once on radio and on tv. Didn’t enjoy either. Have not been asked since…
I just love a Cinnamon Dolce Latte on a cold winter morning!! 🙂
I love eating popcorn when i watch movies!
I love the Peppermint Mocha @ Starbucks!
I love a skinny vanilla latte!!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite Starbucks drink is a White Chocolate Mocha Latte
Salted Caramel anything <3
At Starbucks I enjoy a peppermint mocha, but my favorite is making hot chocolate at home with a bit of Cointreau.
At Starbucks, I either get a skinny vanilla latte or an iced coffee with soy and whichever SF syrup sounds good.
I don’t have a Starbucks around here lol but I love their hot chocolate lol
Snow emergency here in MI, but I must go shopping! Taking daughter and her friend to see Frozen, which is very fitting today!
I love Starbucks breakfast blend at home. There, I usually peruse the offerings on hand and get a cup of coffee.
Goal for this morning is to dig out the driveway!
I’ve never won anything before let’s hope that this will be my first!
My favorite Starbucks drink is a venti iced coffee, even in negative degree temperature!
Benefit’s Dallas box powder lives in my bag. Why? When I look tired and blah at the end of the day, I can slap a bit on with the brush that came with it – even without a mirror!) – and not look totally cray. Perks me right up.
I usually go with popcorn and a soda at the movies. I hate being the one who crinkles the candy wrappers, so I avoid those!
I’m loving this blog… You even have Interviews such as the too faced directors’ …definitely subscribed now.
I love green tea frappes!
My favorite snack at the movies is the buttery popcorn
My favorite drink at Starbucks is a Chai Tea latte over ice!
I just finished shoveling. We got about 5 inches of snow. Time to do some wrapping!
I just started following your blog, but I have come across it in the past when looking for MAC lipstick reviews for Asian skin tones. I’m looking forward to reading future posts!
My go to mascara at the moment is Tarte’s Lights, Camera Lashes! I feel like it’s just the perfect all around mascara. The absolute worst mascara i’ve come across is Cover Girl’s Clump Crusher. It’s flakey and horrible.
My favorite starbucks drink is a skim iced latte. I wish i had one right now!
I was on a radio show once. As Rose from “Little Prince”)))
have to have popcorn at the movies!
During the summer I love Starbuck’s iced coffee. When it’s cold, I almost always get a skinny vanilla latte. Yum!
i would love to win!
I love the Cinnamon Dolce Latte from Starbucks
I had a great time at santa con yesterday.
Favorite snack on the movies is popcorn with dipping nacho cheese. Starbucks drink is sweetened black tea with low fat milk half n half and 10pumps of classic is like milk tea:)
It’s getting so cold in my kitchen, I think I’m going to have to find somewhere else for the olive oil. It seems a bit silly though.
I am a total Benefit junkie. Couldn’t do without Eyebright, High Beam, Stay Don’t Stray… I could go on and on!
A layered caramel macchiato is my beverage of choice!
I shouldn’t have read this while I was hungry, now I want sno caps and a soy cappuccino!
My favorite Starbucks drink is a toss-up between the peppermint hot chocolate and a chai latte with two extra pumps of chai. I’ve been drinking the latter that way since middle school and regular chai lattes don’t taste strong enough anymore!
Thank you as always Karen for doing this giveaway weekly!
Would be so amazing if i won this time x
my starbucks drink is a half sweet peppermint white mocha. yummm.
Would love to buy Naked Basics with this gift card! Wishing myself luck! (is it possible to haha)
The two most peaceful places I know are the cottages at Barking Sands in Kauai, where the big entertainment is watching the sun set, and Lancaster, PA, where you hear horses trot by pulling the Amish buggies.
Popcorn! popcorn popcorn popcorn pop- Oh, hey, I’m gonna make popcorn for dinner!
I have been on a couple of radio shows, mostly ones that discuss horror movies. And I had an industrial music radio show for a year or two.
love this blog!
I used to have probably a dozen scrunchies, up until last year when I purged them out. I still have a ton of barrettes though.
Got a sample of Smashbox CC Cream last week & took the plunge & bought the full bottle today. I wore the cc cream today to take family pics & got the greatest compliment at the makeup counter! Even the SA at the Sephora where I purchased it was amazed at my makeup.
And the other artists thought I did a wonderful job with my makeup. Woooo hooo for finally finding a product that amps up the wow factor in my makeup ☺️
Movie=Popcorn with the really bad-for-you fake butter!!! YUMMY!
My Starbucks drink of choice is a white mocha frappuccino! I even drink those in 10 degree weather! They are THAT good. 🙂
my favorite movie snacks are m&m’s that i sneak in. yes i do.
I am really enjoying this new blog I found!
Fav Starbucks drink: Skinny vanilla latte – half sweet. My best friend even brought me one yesterday during our annual love actually viewing. She’s awesome.
Gosh! I need to get wrapping some presents. I’d rather read the blog instead :).
Throw and go is definitely blush, powder, and tinted chapstick.
I think I own one scrunchie.
I am so ready for the days to start getting longer again.

I always every time no matter what get talk coffe in a grande cup and a petite vanilla scone at Starbucks!!
The most peaceful place I know: the rocky coast of Acadia National Park. It’s so quiet…just wind and waves.
I like to bring my own snacks to the movie. I once brought a salad and breadsticks!
My go-to Starbucks drinks: Iced Caramel Macchiatto or Very Berry Hibiscus.
A throw-on-and-go makeup product that I really *need* this winter is something to prevent/cope with Rudolph nose… walking in the cold is leading to constant nose running/wiping/blowing… totally unglamorous, I know, but just wanting to get to work with my makeup still intact after walking in the snow… any ideas?
Fran, maybe you could pick up a yellow powder (redness reducing) just for touching up your nose during the day?
I’ve been on the radio with my a cappella group in university! And I’ve been on TV for the same reason when we sang the national anthem for basketball games.
The most peaceful place I can think of is the almighty BEACH 🙂
I was interview on tv once in highschool!
My favorite Starbucks drink is an iced caramel macchiato with nonfat milk and 1 shot less of espresso than the drink normally has 🙂 During the winter though, I lean toward the peppermint mocha’s. They’re both so good and addicting!
too faced bb liquid foundation
loreal excessive voluminous mascara
phsycians formula berry blush
maybelline dark circles eraser concealer
Favourite movie snacks are Lays chips and popcorn
Tomorrow morning I start a new job that I am so thankful for and excited about!
My fav drink of choice is the java chip frapp with pepermint. it tastes like a coffee thin mint- so good!
When I’m at the movies, I love buying popcorn and adding extra spices to it. It’s also fun to buy candy from the drugstore ahead of time (like Sour Patch Kids or Skittles), since everything at the movie theater is so expensive! Oh, and a HUGE pop to go with all of that.
I am a new reader and I just love your blog!!! Man how much would I LOVE a Sephora gift card…my makeup addiction is a bit out of control…so let’s see what were the comment suggestions? Fave Starbucks drink was one right? Soy Latte extra hot every time! Oh and can I make a request? Would you do some looks with the new Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette? I just got it and it’s lovely but I’m a bit overwhelmed…thanks!!!
Love a Starbucks Venti Christmas Blend! Thanks, Karen, for a great blog and another contest. 🙂
I would love to win this gift card!!!

One of the most peaceful places is a local lake that I can walk to from my condo. The whole walk is lovely and the lake itself, at sunset, is so gorgeous. It’s a good place for thinking. 🙂
One of the most peaceful places is Sentosa at night over looking Singapore.
I’m sooooooooooooo sleepy today!!! 🙂

Happy Holidays:)
I’m about to go on vacation tomorrow! Woohoo!
The most peaceful place I know is actually near you, Karen! I visited the Redwoods a couple years ago, and I can’t wait until I get to go back!
I feel your cold! The real feel here today is a high of minus 7. The only positives are that the wind isn’t too bad and the sun is shining. We got a foot or so of snow this weekend so it’s beautiful. Just cold! And I like the house to be at 70 in the winter, so I’d be suited up if it was in the 60s, too. 🙂
My favorite movie snack is popcorn and soda, however I try and be good when I take my 7 year old to the movies and just get a small size so I don’t over do it! My starbucks drink of choice is a peppermint latte during the holidays!
my go to makeup is my foundation, brows and mascara in a hurry. Although right now I am in desperate need of the right color liquid foundation and formula. I am in a new climate and my skin doesn’t know what to do!!
Without a doubt the best drink is a chai latte! It’s like christmas in a glass!
And movie snacks– popcorn!
I love your blog! It gives me inspiration
Nothing but popcorn for me at the movies!
Movie snacks tend to finish too soon! Anyways, I like popcorn or little chocolate pralines.

What’s your Starbuck’s drink of choice? Their Carmel Frappuccino.
I always love throwing in some red and hot pink lipstick in my purse because I can mix them up to double up as a cream blush. I also always love to have some mini mascara and lip balm handy.
Karen I rather have your cold weather than the one I have last week and a half. Over 3-4 inches thick of ice outside with the average temp. of 30 from Thursday through Wednesday. Luckly its warm now but man last week and a half was tough.
These days in Starbucks, i’m into skinny peppermint mocha. my usuals are chai tea & the cold green tea. 😀
I need at least 1 naked palette in my life. hope I win this!
My favorite Starbucks drink is definitely White Chocolate Mocha but during the holiday season, Peppermint Mocha is my go-to!
My favorite movie snacks are junior mints & good n plenty. YUMMY!!!
Pumpkin Spice Latte for the win! The fall season isn’t complete without it!
My no-makeup makeup days usually consists of benefit boing concealer and Laura Gellar powder foundation. And I always keep a lipgloos (or two or three) in my purse.
And no snacks at the movies, they only distract from the action.
MY got-o snack when watching a movie is popcorn, well of course and peanuts m&m’s
I always get sour patch kids at the movies
I love to eat buttered popcorn and watch cheesy 80’s movies!
I’m drooling over all those gorg Dior shadows in the giveaway post pic!
My go to Starbucks drink is a green tea latte! Love it iced, but I’ll also get it hot if it’s too cold out!
The only tv I’ve done is, I was in an infomercial for a memory foam dog bed. They gave us refurbished juicers as a thank you gift and my sisters went on fire,lol
We have already had too much snow! I am looking forward to heading to some warmer weather!!’
I’m addicted to Starbucks! I’m currently a stay at home mom and wife. However when I was working a few months ago, I would go to Starbucks both in the morning before work and during my lunch break to buy one of my favorite drinks. My favorite Starbucks drinks are a venti cup of the Pike Place coffee with cream and two packets of Splenda and a venti cup of hot or iced skinny vanilla latte.
My most peaceful place is the shower 🙂
If I’m only wearing one product, it’s going to be Cover FX CC Cream in N Light, NARS Finland tinted moisturizer, or It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation in Fair. Gotta have good lookin’ skin 🙂
THE HOMELAND FINALE WAS SO GOOD AAAH!
I love popcorn and m & m’s.
my favorite movie snack is sour patch kids! 🙂
I am tired of it being so cold.
The most peaceful place is the bathroom for me.
Its my first Christmas in So Cal and I am just not feeling this hot weather!!! I want some SNOW!
The cold weather here is unbearable.. So cold. The only thing to keep my from becoming chapped up is the Jack Black lip balm! Calling for snow again in the coming week!
Oh the weather outside is frightful… but this giveaway is sure delightful… Those Dior shadows sure look so beautiful! Unfortunately, I have yet to try these babies.
My Starbucks drink of choice is the shaken black iced tea lemonade
Actually I modeled for years and was on a local Detroit morning show Kelly and Co. I did a commercial spot for a local station and a magazine spread in an offshoot of black elegance magazine.
I have to admit that sometimes I go to the movies just for the popcorn, which is why I try not to go too often. Microwave popcorn just doesn’t taste the same, even the “extra butter” varieties.
As usual, you are so sweet and generous. Thank you.
i’m all about the white mocha year-round!
My favorite movie snack is either sour patch kids or the watermelon ones! They’re so good!!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Still didn’t set up a christmas tree >.<

I’m almost 41 weeks pregnant and even though I’m ready to be finished, I’m very excited that there will be a new baby in the house for Christmas :).
Hi Karen! Love your blog and am a silent regular 🙂 OK, I have tried entering your Sephora giveaways in the past too but somehow my comment never ever gets posted even though the widget tells me I’ve posted 🙁 Hope my comment makes it this time! My favorite movie snacks is popcorn and throw-on-and-go makeup products would be BB cream, kohl, and lipstick. Guess what, yes I have been on a tv show in high school for a poem I wrote :)The most peaceful place for me would be in the arms of my beloved 🙂 and I looooove me some iced green tea latte from Starbuck’s…keep blogging and stay beautiful!

Throw-on-and-go beauty products: Powder foundation, a bit of concealer, something for my brows, mascara, lip gloss, blush, plus some light perfume.

My favorite Starbucks drink is a grande caramel macchiato
just placed a sephora order!
Love your blog! Keep it up! 🙂
There is a Starbucks by one of the movie theaters I go to and I have, on occasion, snuck in a drink as my movie snack. When the weather is nice I usually try to do it with a vanilla bean frappucino but when it’s cold I go for a latte; caramel brulee or any with toffee is my current favorite. Otherwise my movie snack of choice is nachos or specialty popcorn; I like to mix caramel with cheese popcorn!
My usual Starbucks drink is an iced caramel macchiato with nonfat milk and extra caramel.
My fave movie treat is anything with chocolate 🙂
What are your throw-on-and-go makeup products?
— A bit of foundation or pressed powder and eyeliner!
