Good morning, glory. Happy first official Caturday of fall. 🙂
Tabs loves this time of year because of the leaves falling. He’ll sit on a windowsill and just stare outside for hours watching the leaves fall. I think the constant movement of the leaves blowing in the wind drives his fine-tuned feline senses wild. Cats crave stimulus, ya know? Even when it drives them to mewl and climb the walls.
Yup, cats are weird…
In other news, I learned a valuable lesson yesterday about getting things done. It’s actually not a new lesson for me. I’ve learned it about a million times before, but I thought I’d pass it on, just in case.
Here it is: if you’re working on a project or anything that means something to you, get an early start, and don’t procrastinate, because I procrastinated yesterday, and now my project isn’t done.
It wasn’t a big deal, but I wanted to call this one company I Googled about ordering some modular wood storage shelving for my office, but I kept dillydallying. Then, when I finally gave them a call in the afternoon, their office was closed.
Because they’re on the East Coast. And I forgot about the time difference.
Grrr…
Oh, well. Guess it’ll have to wait till Monday.
Have a wonderful weekend, babe, and good luck in the giveaway. Maybe we’ll bump into each other on Twitter or Facebook today.

I tried the Oikos brand chocolate organic icecream, let me say gag.
I always do my makeup in my bedroom! I’ve done a guy’s makeup but it was in high school theatre and they all looked like ghosts. I have the photos to prove it and they’re hilaaaarious.
You are so fabulous! I’ve been reading your blog for a few years now and I’m continually impressed. Keep up the good work, it’s not unnoticed!
I do my makeup in my bedroom too – but I shouldn’t because the lighting is terrible! I’ve learned to adjust for that, though.
I’ve flown on a plain…at least 100 times, I’d think. We traveled a lot when I was growing up, so between that and back-and-forth from college…I can’t believe how many flights I’ve taken!
Love reading your blog
I’ve just set up a new makeup area in my bedroom and am loving it! I need to get a little more lighting, but once I do…oh, I will feel like such a makeup diva. 🙂
I like doing my makeup in my bedroom by my window, which is upstairs and gets majority of the morning sunlight. And it’s easier to move my makeup back and forth with the least amount of damage. I don’t have a vanity, just a medium-sized plastic drawer container thingy that I think I need to upgrade :>
I do my makeup in my “office” at my desk because of the lamp. I wish the lighting in my bathroom was better!
I’ve never done makeup on a man!
My favorite place to do makeup is in front of my closet, well because… it’s all ONE GIANT MIRROR 😀 Perfect for seeing everything that’s going on lol.
Thrifty ice cream, yes! I’ve actually commented about this on your blog before! My hubby and I went to Rite Aid recently where they opened a Thrifty ice cream counter. Totally brought me back to when I was a kid and I used to eat gallons of the stuff. Hmmm….I think a trip for ice cream is in order.
What drugstore carries Thrifty ice cream? I’ve never seen it! Here in New England we have Hood brand frozen Greek yogurt, and my husband and I are obsessed with the raspberry granola flavor.
Nope, never baked a pie.
I do my makeup in the bathroom because it’s convenient. I don’t always have time to sit and apply it in the mornings so I’m standing over the sink working on my face.
I’d love to use this giftcard to get the new Wicked nail polish set.
Hi Karen, hv a sunny weekend!
I love to bake pies. That’s the best part about the fall!
My favorite place to do makeups – bathroom of course! 😀 Have a nice weekend
My favorite makeup is Bare Minerals…wow…my skin totally changed and looks like a spend thousands on it….FIVE stars…also if you add a Clarisonic…wonderful, soft, clear, baby skin….LOVE!
I’ve baked a pumpkin pie 😀 it was soooo good. I kinda want some now.
Hi my most recent printed book I purchased is pay per click for dummies 🙂 I want to learn about how to earn some money online that I help myself go back to college,help my dad and my mom they are struggling right now economically they would very fist help I would provide if I make it online business .
All dummies books are so much filled with information for starters and the advanced I can’t wait to get started after I finish reading my book and I mastered ppc marketing here I come!!!!!
I like doing my makeup right in front of our bedroom window!
Hi Karen greetings from Trinidad and Tobago I luv your blog! Long time lurker first time commenting my fav place to do my makeup is of course my bedroom!
Hi Karen, I have flown a plane more times than I can easily count. My favorite room to put make up on is the dining room, sitting at the table with my big magnifying lit up mirror. My Husband hates that!
I’ve had one ex let me do his makeup, I’m still working on my husband though! Maybe I can get to him after a few glasses of wine. Also, I’m so excited for the Breaking Bad finale!
Oh yeah, growing up in Novato, I’d go over to the local Thrifty’s drugstore all the time for their ice cream. Mint chocolate chip, baby!
Hi Karen!
I have to do my makeup standing up in front of my dresser; not exactly the most comfortable position, but i have to make do… At least it’s just next to a window!
I also keep procrastinating, though I should have learned the lesson by now… -_-‘
Have a nice weekend!
I need this giftcard – there is a sephora lip favorites set that is calling my name:)!
I’ve attempted to bake an apple pie once, but it turned out horrible, LOL.
My favorite place to do my makeup in my apartment is the bathroom. Even though I’ve set up a desk/vanity table in my bedroom, the light in my bathroom is so much better.
I always do my makeup in the bathroom, though I’d prefer a vanity table. *someday*
I’m sitting at home on my computer because I can’t go out, I tore my Achilles tendon and don’t even know how it happened. Grrr I want to go shopping. Oh well there’s always shopping online.hee hee 🙂
I love autumn weather!
I love to bake pies, especially for Thanksgiving. The best ones I make are Dutch apple and chocolate stout (chocolate + dark beer = amazing!).
I’ve never done a man’s makeup.
Woooo giveaway time!! I feel like I win the unique vehicle award because I have driven a marine travel lift before. When boats are too big/heavy to be hauled out of the water by trailer, you put them in a lift, where they are supported by huge straps. I have driven a 35-ton marine travel lift and have video evidence! Also, I have baked several pies, the biggest success was an apple pie with a crosshatch top and little crust heart in the middle!
Hi karen! I’ve never flown in a plane! =/ My favorite spot to do my makeup is in front of my computer at my desk. The light comes in the window just perfect!
I love this but I never win though. Luckily as they say hope is the last thing that dies, lol 🙂
Happy Caturday! 🙂
I love to do my makeup at my dressing table. I purchased it 4 years ago because. Was tired if sitting on my bedroom floor :-/
The last printed book I bought was a collection of adverts of 60s fashion, makeup and beauty’s products!
Have a little fear entering this contest ;( if I believed in bad luck lol. On my way to work this morning, my trusty car decided to strike and we got to ride in a big bad tow truck! So on to changing my luck and fingers crossed, Sephora is just the soothing I need *sigh
I like to do my make up at my vanity in my bedroom.
I’m thinking about getting a pet! Puppy or kitty? 😉
Never baked a pie, but I’ve actually been thinking about it for a while now (I’m a cookie-baking person mostly). The weather’s seems perfect for it too… really should get on that. A pecan pie would be great!
Wearing bright red lipstick while I do laundry – cause why not 🙂
In SoCal, you can buy Thrifty brand at Rite-Aid. Yes, I’ve had it, and it’s not bad for a drugstore ice cream!
I have never done a man’s makeup but I have plucked a boyfriend’s brows. It needed to be done!
I love all the fall nail colors. I just wish my nails would stop breaking so I paint them.
Karen…gurrrl~! You seriously rock black lips.
I love coral lips!
The last book I bought was Cult Perfumes:The World’s Most Exclusive Perfumeries.
I’ve been on a plane once in such a scardy cat!!
I love doing my makeup in my bedroom, with all the kitties on the bed watching and meowing. It’s like they’re cheering me on! lol
I can do my makeup anywhere, but I prefer the bathroom there’s more light and a big mirror
My favorite please to do my makeup is my room. I love standing infront of my huge mirror and doing it. I hate sitting down and doing it. I feel weird.
The last book I bought is the Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater. It’s the second book in a great YA series and I really like it!
I do my makeup at my vanity in my bedroom.
I found out this morning that my beloved 7 yr. old female cat, Olivia, is going to have to have surgery next Wed. to remove a rather large bladder stone. Poor baby! She acts completely normal but has blood in her urine so I’ll be relieved when she gets rid of the stone!
Last printed book purchased was Forever Odd. Decent, but not as good as the original Odd Thomas.
My favourite place to do makeup is next to the window.. lot of natural light coming through, it really helps! 🙂
xo
Ashwini
Whoa! Just in time before it closes! Now keeping my fingers closed to get picked!
I like to do my makeup in my bathroom or by a window!
My fav place at home for makeup is the bathroom, but what’s essential is a mirror! AND I think I’ve been on like 10 or 11 flights in my life.. never put on makeup on board though!!
Before Boarders finally closed… picked up Say You’re One of them and Pillars of the Earth. Both really great books, now I browse used book stores, but i really miss Boarders!
My favorite place at home to do makeup is my dressing room. I do it at my vanity.
I don’t know if it’s really my “favorite place,” but it’s definitely mandatory.. I have this inability to be off the ground when I put on my makeup. I feel so uncomfortable when I sit in a chair or stand up as I’m “putting my face on.”
The answer to your question? On the floor with some nice, natural light. xx
My favorite place to do my makeup at home is at my vanity – it’s my “me” time!
I do my makeup in my “woman cave”. I have my makeup desk on one wall, and my computer area along the other wall, so all I have to do is swivel! My makeup desk looks a lot like a shrine dedicated to the makeup gods.
I do my make up at my vanity. This year I finally hunted down an antique vanity, and I’ve wanted one since I was little.
My favorite place to put on makeup is sitting in bed–it’s by far the most comfortable, especially on cold autumn/winter mornings!
For some odd reason I always do my makeup in the kitchen :/
As you made mention of pie, I’ll be baking one tomorrow 🙂
I do my makeup sitting on my living room couch, i bake pies for friends every year for christmas, and the last printed book i bought was stellaluna for my cousins baby shower.
I’ve been on a plane I estimate at least probably…5 times round trip?
The most recent two were to Finland to visit my girlfriend, I miss her very much!
I can drive a city bus–had the special license and the job for it and everything. =)
I have done a man’s makeup- my boyfriend’s, for a Ghost concert <3
I love baking apple pie 🙂
Last wedding of the season!! I love love and all but damn…I am so. burned. out on weddings y’all
If I won I would totally buy the new Vice 2 palette! I am dying to have it!
I painted my husband’s nails with clear nail polish and toes with a red one. He forgot to clean the polish and went to work… 🙂
I only buy printed books. I recently got a kobo mini but I’m giving it to my son. I prefer books with actual paper. Safer for reading in the tub plus real books smell so good.
I always do my makeup in my bedroom infront of my closet, my closet doors are mirros so it’s great
I’ve been on a plane six times. I’ve never baked a pie but I would like to.
Everytime I see a guy with long lashes, I just want to mascara and curl them. They should let me do it. They don’t know what they’re missing!
love the site. I only recently discovered it and I’m loving all the daring lip looks you try 🙂
I LOVE pie, and my favorite to make is chocolate cream pie. But I’m hoping to make peach pie at some point – my grandfather usually has a monopoly on making it!
I’m so glad that fall is here! I can switch to my fall makeup routine!
I must resist the urge to buy more bags! Must save up for the Sephora friends and family event!!!
I have done a man’s makeup before – my friend was David Bowie for Halloween!
I have made both a pumpkin pie and an apple pie. I’m much better at making sweet bread. My favorites are cranberry orange, pumpkin, and chocolate gingerbread.
I did makeup on a man just last night at a party
I have done a man’s make up a couple of times during a make up course
I’ve put black eyeliner on a man!
The best Caturdays are spent sleeping in with our favorite furbaby!
Fall is definitely my favorite time of year as well.
I love how you put kitty cat pics all over your blog. So cute!
Winter is my absolute favorite season, but fall is in close second. Thanks for the giveaway )
I like to do my makeup in my kitchen (great natural lighting)! And since you asked, I just bought A House in the Sky and The Silent Wife in print for some Fall reading 🙂
My favorite place to do my makeup is in my beauty room. I have a specific room set up where I get read so it houses my: clothes, makeup, nail polish and other beauty/body essentials.
I’d guess that I’ve probably flown on a plane 100 times or so – double that if it includes separate legs on a single flight.
Hi Karen!
I always do my make up in the bathroom ’cause I have all my make up stuff there and I feel comfortable doing it there. 🙂
The first time I ever baked a homemade pie, I forgot to peel the apples and just sliced them, so it was an apple pie with soft apple slices and hard apple peels 😉
happy fall!
Hi Karen, college and troubles are killing me and I’m procrastinating more than ever. Well I’ll cut the drama, because it’s weekend and I don’t have many homework to do.
Have a nice weekend Karen, Tabs and El Hub.
It’s high school homecoming day here. Teen girls running around getting their hair & makeup done for the night – love it!
I looove my Life Palette!
My favorite place to do my makeup is near my bedroom window!
There is too much good tv on

The last book I purchased is Restaurant Man by Joe Bastianich.
I like doing my makeup in my room, on the floor, using my full-length mirror. I like the bright natural light best!
I have totally done a guys makeup! LOL For a rock band participating in a talent show, but still, it counts! ^_^
i have flown in a plane 5 times, and that’s enough for me 🙂
I only know how to make chicken pot pie 🙁 lol
Did a “man’s” makeup once – when I was a kid, my friend and I convinced her brother to let us put makeup on him. Needless to say his mother wasn’t pleased!
I love finding boys who will let me put makeup on them!
I baked an apple pie yesterday….not perfect, but, the kids loved it 🙂
Birthday cake ice cream … Yummm
I bake pies all the time! My family’s favorite is my cherry/apple.
I need to study

Cool! Good look to all the participants 🙂
The last GOOD book I read was The Devil’s Knot.
I have baked a pie…Not a success story!
My favorite place to do my makeup is at my vanity/makeup desk! 🙂
I have a Kindle which I love, but there is something so great about buying a real book so once in a while I still go to Barnes and Noble and pick up a book or two. Last one I bought was “Silver Linings Playbook.” LOVED it. It was even better than the movie!
Ive ridden an airplane maybe 10-12 times? needs to be more!
I have not baked a cake, but I did make Chocolate Crinkles! They were goood! Just don’t ask how long ago that was!
Hi, I usually do my makeup in the bathroom but sometimes I do it in my car, not while driving though, eheh.
I recently discovered you – Hi! Although it was inconvenient for you to forget about the time difference, I’m totally with you girl! I do it more often than I’d like to admit. I’m on the East Coast, my boss is West Coast and some of my friends are Mid Westerners; making it even more challenging depending on where they live (some live super close to the “line” where it changes.) Talk about a headache! 😉
I love to bake apple pies, especially this time of the year…
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I usually do my makeup in the bathroom, where there’s good lighting.
Whenever I do my makeup I always need to run around looking at myself in different lighting! sometimes I need to snap a pic of myself to double-triple check!
I baked a pie once and it was for my brother. He loves blueberry anything so I made a blueberry crumble pie I saw on the Martha Stewart TV Show. It was so easy but I never made another pie after that.
I JUST baked a pie with fresh apples from the orchard. It was delicious, with a brown sugar crust!
Went apple picking today with the kiddos…made apple pie and now its in the oven and it smells sooooo yummy in here!
HA! just saw the comment above me…guess its the thing to do! =)
yay!
Howdy ho, Karen!
I make a caramel apple pie or apple crumble every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am so sick of baking after that so I don’t bake until June usually!
Watching Big Bang Theory premier episodes which I had recorded!
I have baked a pie! The last pie that I made was a scratch made lemon meringue. It was delicious 😀
My favorite place to do make-up at home is in my hallway mirror– the lighting is awesome. I do wish I had a proper vanity/make-up desk, though!
I do my makeup in the kitchen while DS eats breakfast every morning.
My favorite place to do my makeup is sitting at my vanity. Unfortunately, it’s in storage while we tackle a big renovation in our house so I’ve been forced to do my makeup standing.
I usually do my makeup in my bedroom
I have never baked a pie! i want to though
Does Halloween count? I’ve done a man’s Halloween makeup…
I know how to drive a forklift!
Much to my hubster’s dismay, I love to put on my makeup in his computerchair (it’s so comfy!). I also love cooking and baking, so I usually bake something for him every week. He loves my chocolate banana pies!
sephora sephora sephora!! 😀 i love to do my makeup sitting on the ground in front of my closet mirrors :p
I think I’ve flown in a plane around 5 or more times now. I love traveling! (:
sephora is the best!
I just bought Joyland by Stephen King
I have a lil makeup nook in my bedroom that’s sort of a little cutout, almost apart from the room. My boyfriend is not allowed to put any of his junk in there, and there’s a nice big window so I get natural light in the morning. So lovely!
I’m a dinosaur!
K & T – I’m planning to do dark lips for fall. I may even do some dark eyes w those lips. Because I don’t use eye liner it shouldn’t be too overpowering. Happy Fall! – buckycatt
Cool writing prompt questions. I think I’ll answer one: Yes I have baked a pie before, it was a blueberry pie. =)
I flown around the world but I just came back from a 3 week business trip to Manila, Philippines…wow..
I went to Sephora tonight and I finally picked up something from the Marc Jacobs line, one of the style eye-con no.7 palettes, 208 The Vamp. I was in the mood for some jewel tones :). I also asked the makeup artist to help me out figure out my shade of his foundation and I loved the way it looked, imperceptible on the skin so I got a sample of the 22 Bisque Light to try for a few days.
My favorite place to apply my makeup, is in front of my full length Cheval mirror, in my bedroom.
My favorite place to do make up is in front of my full length mirror from Goodwill!
I’ve baked pies before.
Hello Karen and Tabbs! Some random facts about me I think are fun
1. My sister’s name is tabitha
2. I have never been on a plane
3. I LOVE makeup!
4. I work at a movie theater ( I am still not sick of popcorn)
5. I love your blog 🙂
Have a great day!
Love the blog!
I have done mens’ makeup – for a gothic club. So mnay compliments! It was great.
Men’s makeup is the only makeup I applied to another person! (For Halloween)
Since we have a small and poorly lit bathroom, I prefer to do my makeup sitting down in front of a full length mirror in our bedroom. My husband is usually still meditating when I need to get my makeup on, so I do it sitting down in a spare room and that works ok too. I do notice I make more mistakes with blending because the lighting stinks.
I have no where to do my make up =/ hopefully I’ll get something set up soon because sitting on the floor on a bunch of litter is not the way to go
I love doing my makeup in the spare room where I’ve got my vanity set up since a week or two! I love having a space of my own to keep my things now 🙂
The last printed book I purchased was the Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual! Love it so much! 🙂
As a college student, I’m forced to do my makeup at my tiny desk in my tiny student apartment. It has more makeup on it than books now, I think!
I am loving the army trend this fall! Can’t get enough of those combat boots- my wishlist includes ones in stone, black, brown and oxblood!
I recently purchased 35 books from a used book store…so that’s a lot of books to list 😛
The last printed book I bought was my heavy hardcover audit textbook which cost quite a lot ='(
I was going to answer the question on planes – my longest flight was to Japan at over 16 hours. That was jetCOMA. Being a guy myself, I’ll expand on that one. I’m an avid makeup fan and like to experiment on a daily basis. It’s because of blogs like yours, hours of YouTube tutorials, and the like that I’ve been able to do it better. Amplify, correct, la shabam! My face shape and features are fairly androgynous and forgiving as well, which suffice it to say, makes playing them up slightly more normative or digestible.
P.S. I wish my cat was as interactive as yours is! He could stare at a wall and be entertained, no laser required -_-
i LOVE sephora!!!!!!!!! ♥
Love your blog!
i really want pumpkin supreme pie from bob evans. SO BADLY.
I did a guy’s makeup as a joke once.
I bought a rain jacket from Bloomies today!
I am liking the Revlon touch and glo line!
I hate procrastinating too! And yet I’m still doing it haha, oh well, I guess studying for that chem exam will have to wait. 🙂 Makeup blogs are just to darn addicting!
During the fall season I like majority of the pumpkin themed food items. Today I tried some pumpkin muffins and they were very delicious!
Karen,
Have you smelled the fall bath& body works candle pumpkin pecan waffles? i think its the bee’s knees! i do think it kind of smells more like kettle corn to me though…
I have baked a pie.
I love rocking the vampy lip look for fall!
I love Thrifty Rocky Road ice cream!
I had to put eyeliner on my boyfriend (now my husband) for halloween. He hated it! Haha
i just got a facial today and my face feels bare =)
I put make up on in my bathroom cause I’m a klutz and I always drop or spill stuff.
Have a good day!
––––––– I’ve only been on a plane once & that was when my family & I moved to America from the Philippines back in 1996 . I was 8 at the time . 🙂
I think the last printed book i bought was “the Da Vinci code”
I always do my makeup in the bathroom.
The last printed book I purchased was actually for my sister’s birthday, I bought her the Barnes and Noble leatherbound copy of Peter Pan, which has been on her wishlist for a long time! Thanks for the giveaway Karen!! =)
I do my makeup in my bathroom 🙂
I love my vanity in the bedroom. I could sit there forever looking at all my stuff <3 Doing makeup is pure joy in the mornings. If only I could organize the bathroom…
I will be baking my first ever pie from scratch this Thanksgiving – my first ever away from home!
i just baked an apple pie yesterday 🙂
Hey karen when i bought the disney princess jasmine pallete i just opened it to look at it & put it back in the box. Well the next day i came home from work to find that my 7mth puppy chewed thru the sephora box & ruined the palette packagin. I was so upset i was ready to give him away since he had already chewed 3 chargers,flip flop,my bf hat lol but I got over it & just ordered it AGAIN. Damn dog! Lol but i love him
I bought the hardcover copy of “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn. Highly recommend!
Love that Thrifty ice cream. Sometimes in the summer, if I can’t think of anything to have for lunch, I’ll just pop into a Rite Aid and get a scoop. Everyone always looks at my ice cream and says that they wished they had thought to do the same.
Now my cat she is the most behaved out of my family. my 2sons who are 3 & 5, the dog who is just 1 & my bf. She is a 7yr old calico & if im wearing lipstick or lipgloss I grab her face, kiss her in the mouth so it looks like she is wearing lipstick too LOL
Oh wow. I have probably flown in a plane about 60 times. Maybe. Not sure. It’s really hard to guesstimate because I have been doing it since I was little!
We got a new puppy last week. He makes #3. He hasn’t been officially named yet because we don’t know his personality yet, so we call him George. We call all our pets George until they are officially named.
Favorite place to do my makeup is my bathroom because of the lighting.
The last print book I bought was Game of Thrones. I didn’t think I’d be able to handle all that text on an ereader.
Superexcited! Purchased the UD Shattered and Vice 2 palettes tonight XD
Gosh. I’m eyeing Tarte’s holiday sets. I need them in my life! Happy Sunday, everybody!
I always do my makeup in my bedroom at my desk since I get the best lighting there. When I was a senior in high school I did a boy’s makeup in my physics class since we were all bored. (It was a week before graduation).
I do my makeup at my vanity in my room! I have pretty good lighting and love my huge mirror! Plus it kinda makes me feel like a princess… Hehe My favorite TV show is Downton Abbey! I can’t bake or cook to save my life. I’m a freshman music education major in college and I’m literally obsessed with makeup!!!
I put foundation on my brother, does that count? Lol
Happy weekend!
I want to get some holiday kits and palettes please!

What’s your favorite breed of cat?! Mine is the Hairless cat!
The last print book purchase was this past monday. I love the book store missed going to just look at all of the new treasures waiting to come home with me
Just started watching Modern Family in reruns from the beginning. Such a funny show!
Yes please…that would be marvelous!
I have actually never flown in an airplane. This must be remedied. I recently just pre-ordered Allegiant, the last book in the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. I didn’t completely love the second book but I’m excited to see how all the loose ends are tied up.
yes omg! I’ve had that brand of ic before! my little brother is obsessed with it!!
I just discovered Thrifty ice cream and oh how I’ve been missing out! Pecan praline is the best! 🙂
I’ve never baked a pie for real, I’ve only made the kind where you fill a pre-made graham cracker crust with chocolate pudding and top with Cool Whip. Sort of a cheat move, but still really tasty.
I’ve never been on an airplane, but I guess I kind of know a lot about them LOL
I bake a mean pumpkin pie! not sure if I’m going to do any this year or not. Canadian thanksgiving is coming up very fast, my place is such a mess after moving and a lot of family is moving this October too.
The best pie I’ve baked was a banana cream pie.
I bake pies. I have some end of the season fresh peaches. I’m going to make a cobbler. But after that I’m going to into fall mode.
I have made makeup on my boyfriend a few times….and it was FUN times 😀
I would love to buy some more makeup this month 🙂
I usually put on my makeup in the bathroom. I don’t like to fly but I’ve been on a plane at least 6 times and yet I want to sky dive. I drove a boat a few times while eating Homemade ice cream. I bought Pharrell: Places and Spaces I’ve Been… haven’t read it yet. It’s still shrink wrapped. I curled my guy friend’s lashes once and even made him an apple pie!
I havent yet done makeup for men but woudl love to do it on my hubbyy!! 😉 🙂 🙂
I have never done a man’s makeup but dying to put mascara on my husband’s lashes…they are super long! 🙂 He refuses to let me do so….lol!
I always do my makeup in my very messy beauty room haha
I really like doing my makeup in my room, near the window
My highschool BF had the most amazing eyelashes and one time I was able to talk him into letting me put mascara on him. It was pretty funny and I was secretly a little jealous. So I’m not sure if that counts as doing makeup for a man… but I’ve never been able to talk any other BF into it since 🙂
I always do makeup in the bathroom ;D
I’m like Tabs. Give me a cup of coffee and a cozy blanket and I could sit on my back porch and watch the leaves fall & blow all day. 🙂
I am in! I haven’t flown that many times yet… I think about 12 times or so?
I love doing my makeup in the bathroom. The lighting is just perfect.
Let’s see I have two rescue kitty’s Billyroo and pepper they really
love this time of year I open the windows and doors and they totally love it running all over the house
I love fall, best time of year. I wish pumpkin pie wasn’t seasonal!
My favorite place is my own bedroom, cause it’s the only place I could be alone <3
I always put my makeup on in the bathroom.
Brrrrrr….It’s cold outside!!!!
I am overdue for a sephora visit! I’ve got my eye on a new too faced palette…
Yum! Thrifty ice cream. My fave is mint chip. Nobody can top the thin chocolate shavings. It just can’t be duplicated.
I also think it’s important not to procrastinate and to get things done, otherwise they don’t seem to happen ever! Sometimes I seem to find all sorts of silly excuses not to get something done and I regret not doing it in the end! If I’d done it right at the beginning I’d be happy and on my way! Haha
My cat’s name is Josie. It looks like she wears eyeliner.
i do my makeup at the wall mirror in the dining room! the bathroom lighting is awful :/
I LOVED Thrifty’s ice cream as a kid! What a treat on a hot day! When my husband and I were first married and on a tight budget, we’d walk to a nearby Thrifty’s for a double scoop! I miss those days! ♥
My favorite place to do my makeup is in my bedroom.
I have a small desk set up by the window in my bedroom where I do my makeup. Before that, I’d do it wherever was easiest. Bathroom, kitchen table, wherever. I like having a separate section now just for makeup.
I love baking blueberry pie !
The only place to do my makeup is in my bathroom.
The last book I read was “The Casual Vacancy” by JK Rowling. So good!!
I am so happy that it is officially fall!
I love baking pies!! Especially pumpkin.
I’ve flown in an airplane maybe 30 times ( I’m honestly not exactly sure).
I have never seen this Thrifty ice cream!
I always do my makeup in the bathroom, but I would love to have a vanity someday. Our house is tiny though, so maybe the next house 🙂
I tried the Oikos brand chocolate organic icecream, let me say gag.
I like to do my makeup in the bathroom because of the sink and mirror.
I do my makeup in the bathroom, though my makeup itself is stored in my bedroom. I read in Allure (I think) that leaving your makeup in the bathroom can affect the products shelf life, since bathrooms get all steamy when you take a shower. That and I just have too much of the stuff to keep it in there hahaha!
I love doing my makeup in my room!I really enjoy the natural lighing.
Loveeee your blog btw <3
i baked a cherry pie with my mama when i was little, it was so fun!
I always do my makeup in my bathroom! My bathroom’s right next to an upstairs porch, so if I open my door, I get natural light that comes in and mixes with my bathroom light. Also, for some reason, I have to apply my makeup while standing. I can’t do it while sitting!
Came to this site looking for info about Burt’s Bees wipes, happy to find it! Love Sephora, fingers crossed!
HI!!!! i love to bake,but, i think i’ve only baked a pie once or twice :). hoping for the gift card 🙂 Happeeee Sunday
Looove Thrifty’s ice cream in mint chocolate chip and chocolate malted crunch. I used to remember walking to the one next to an Alpha Beta grocery store in UC when I was a kid with my grandma. 10 cent scoops back then!
I always do my makeup at my bathroom counter. Good lighting
I have baked pies before, mainly mincemeat (Grandmother’s recipe)
my boyfriend used to always let me put makeup on him or include him in beauty treatments when we were at the cottage. it is one of my favourite memories of him 🙂
I have two Diorblush cheek cremes that I am really loving right now. I have Bikini and Pareo, both of which I think are beautiful. These are some of the best beauty purchases that I’ve made in a long time.
I have to sit on my bed, and hold a magnification mirror in my hand while do my makeup because I wear glasses, and I can’t see without them, obviously. I can’t really apply eyeliner though due to this technique.
I love making pies from scratch in the fall.
I do my makeup at my custom designed built in dressing table in my dressing room. Sounds luxe – and it is to a point – but there’s little storage and the light hits on one side of my face from the window 🙁
I just had Thrifty Ice Cream yesterday! Chocolate Malt Crunch FTW
I have never heard of Thrifty brand ice cream.
I have a beautiful antique makeup table under a crystal chandelier in my bedroom, but I usually apply my makeup either at the sink or standing next to the window in my bathroom or bedroom, depending on where the light is. What a waste of a beautiful makeup table lol
Every year our local Planned Parenthood ahs a book sale to raise money. Today was the last day, so everything was 50% off – and the prices were low to begin with. I went a bit overboard an came home with TWO large grocery sacks full of books today! I don’t know which part is better: that they only cost me $28 or that the money went to a cause I support.
been a long weekend, karen. thanks for the giveaway 🙂
i’ve been thinking about getting a little vanity. i found one on pinterest (with ikea furniture.) no ikea in vegas, though…so i guess i have plenty of time to think about it. LoL.
hope the weekend has been kind to you 🙂
Pie sounds so good right about now… So does Korean food…and ice cream…
I like to do my makeup in my bathroom, it’s got a nice big mirror and the lighting is actually pretty good too.
Always do my makeup in my bathroom in front of the mirror
The last print book that I bought was The Tao of Pooh. I actually wasn’t a fan. Bummer, it came highly recommended.
I would have bought the ebook, if one were available.
My favorite place to apply my makeup at home is my bathroom. I have a built in vanity in my bathroom that helps keep my makeup away from the splashing from the shower, toilet, or sink.
I want some carne asada burrito!!!
I’ve never been on a plane! I hope to remedy that one day with some fun, exotic adventure. And I LOVE Thrifty brand ice cream! Best mint chocolate chip ever! Also, I recently discovered a glow in the dark nail polish by sinful colors and I’ve been having a little too much fun with it. Thanks for offering this generous giveaway, Karen! God Bless!
Is Thrifty ice cream only at Rite Aid? I’ve only ever seen it there.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!
Bathroom counter!
I’ve baked apple pies before!
I do my makeup either on my bed or at my desk.
I always do makeup in my bedroom.
I have never heard of Thrifty Ice Cream. I have made pies – mostly apple or pecan – My favorite is apple.
Bare Minerals and the Bliss Triple Oxygen line are the things I can’t live without! And thankfully, Sephora carries both lines in their store!!!
My favorite place to do makeup is actually my bed. It’s the comfiest, but the lighting sucks, haha. So I usually have to do my makeup by the window.
Yes, I love Thrifty ice cream! Mint & Chip is my fave!
Thanks as always for the giveaway!!!
I’ve flown about 20 times and I really can’t remember the last time I bought a printed book, I’ve been reading e-novels for years now…….
I last made a mango pie…yum!
I make a cranberry blueberry pie every year for Thanksgiving.
Never been on a plane, I’m afraid of heights and the thougt of going on a plane puts me in a panic.
Ack! Where did the weekend go?!!!
I read on a kindle so the last printed book that I purchased was probably Harry Potter.
My boyfriend has such pretty eyes, I’m not ashamed to say I’ve done a look on them!
Have I ever done a man’s makeup? Well I’ve never applied a whole face full of makeup to a guy, though I did once applied concealer and eyeliner to a guy. 😉
I’m using my kitchen table as my makeup station. It doesn’t have the best lighting but it gets the job done!
I baked a carrot pie yesterday and it was delicious!
It feels like fall <3 my favorite season!
I prefer doing my make up in the bathroom!
Hello,
The most recent printed book that I purchased is Sherlock Holmes (complete novels and stories) 🙂
I spent my whole weekend taking care of a sick little boy. We finally got to get out of the house yesterday to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, and it was awesome!
I need something to cheer me up !
I do my makeup at my desk in my room at school. There’s more makeup on my desk than school supplies. 🙂
Ive baked a pie a few times, they never come out good
I need to learn a way to re-finish the inside of my malm vanity from Ikea…it’s just so dirty and I would like to cover it with a pretty pattern with maybe something to keep it from getting so dirty 🙂
I have baked a few pies – the last one was banana cream!
I do my makeup on the floor of a corner of my bedroom…temporarily in my parent’s house so this will have to do for now!
Hiking was a success! Two high peaks in one day and only a couple of injuries for my chronically injured boy. It would have been nice to be completely injury-free, but at least it wasn’t too major. 🙂
I love those posts!!!! 🙂
I love making pies. Most of the ones I make are vegan and you’d never know the difference.
I do makeup in my bedroom and then apply blush by the window so I don’t look like an 80s queen.
I love Thrifty ice cream, especially rainbow sorbet! It makes the perfect Rainbow Coolers (ice cream, ice, 7-Up, blend, add vodka if desired). 🙂
Loving the dark matte lips right now… love your blog! 😀
I baked myself a shepherd’s pie once, was so proud.
I have been wanting to make some Japanese Cheesecake.. Yum!
I’ve never done makeup on a man, although I’ve tried to talk the hubs into it more than once!
I have never done a guy’s makeup but I request it everytime my fiance asks to do mine. The deal has never gone through, though.
I’m not much of a traveler, so I’ve only flown on a plane about 6 times so far in my lifetime.
I’ve never baked a pie, but I keep seeing so many good fall apple pie recipes that I might have to! I saw one the other day that had a SNICKERDOODLE CRUST! Like, they actually took raw snickerdoodles and put them on top so they baked together and formed a crust. AWESOME!
YES, I have had Thrifty ice cream! DEEEElicious!! When I was little my parents, brother, sister & I would all ride our bikes to Thrifty every Monday night for Family Night & ice cream cones (back when they were 10 cents!!) Soooo yummy!! Great memories! We looked like a family of ducks in single file. =D
The last book I purchased was the Japanese translation of Shakespeae’s Love’s Labour’s Lost. I little bizarre!
My favorite ice cream is Haagan Dazs creme brûlée.
I’ve been obsessed with making new and exciting variations on bread pudding and custard lately. The last bread pudding involved fruitcake frozen from last Christmas, and it was AMAZING. The next one will contain crumbled, stale chocolate chip cookies. Oh, and my most recent custard involved Middle Eastern spices and thinly-sliced overripe pears I got on the clearance table at Natural Grocers for $2. Best pears I’ve ever tasted.
I love everything about fall – the colors, the fashions, the scents, the foods and the football!
I love baking pie. I’ve already made fresh apple pie and pumpkin pie this season. I want to make more!
pillsbury refridgerated pie crusts make baking a pie SO easy – don’t forget the cans of filling. LOL (ok, my hubs makes the pies from scratch) 😉
My favorite place to do makeup in my house is the master bathroom because ALL my stuff is at my disposal.
The last book I bought, and read, was the catcher in the rye.
I have never flown by plane, or any other way for that matter.
I baked an apple pie once, more watched my friend do it while I pretend to do something so it would be a success.
Usually do my make-up over my dresser in my bedroom, but I really want a vanity like my niece’s from -you guessed-Tarjay, its fab; flip up mirror, drawers sooo 1940s!
Love it
Absolutely love reading your blog, Karen!
I prefer to put my makeup on in front of my dresser at the huge mirror and a small magnified lighted mirror.
My favorite place to do my makeup is my bathroom! I have great lighting and a nice big mirror in there 🙂
Been craving pumpkin smoothies made with vanilla yogurt and bananas. Nice and thick. 🙂 ready for Fall. WOn’t come for awhile since I am in Texas.
I know how to make pie, but I’ve never actually made one by myself. I’ve only ever helped my grandma. 🙂
the last book i bought was probably a textbook. boring life of a college student
you’re a great blogger!!! i usually do my make up in my bedroom next to the window!! xxxx
Thrifty’s ice cream was my favorite as a kid! I loved their rainbow sherbert. I recently had some after many years and discovered they now have a circus animal cookies flavor!
I baked my mom’s birthday cake this weekend!
I’ve done a man’s makeup…ONCE!
I have baked a Derby pie twice! Basically a chocolate chip pie with nuts.
my teeth hurt!
I love my PSL from starbucks..thanks Karen! 🙂
like to do makeup in bed room
I need to do my makeup in front of a window! Natural light is key. 🙂
I last purchased a Sophie Kinsella book, that I cannot remember the name of, and haven’t even cracked it open because my 9 week old is a snuggler 🙂
Last night I had tempura ice cream and it was amazing!
I have a desk setup in my bedroom that I pretty much always sit at to do my makeup on a daily basis, and for the looks I create to share on my Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/bri.grim.pinup
I also have done numerous men’s makeup looks before. Not only does my boyfriend let me use him as a model for makeup creations, but I have had previous drag queen friends and such.
i forget about the time difference too. calling on a friday afternoon to get the “office is closed” message and going, but it’s only 2:05pm?! then remembering the time difference just makes me go d’oh!
as for ice cream, thrifty rocks! 🙂
I usually do my make up in my bedroom.
I’ve probably been on a plane at least 15-20 times. The last time was from Las Vegas, hope your trip there was a good time 🙂
totes agree with your unsung hero lychee Luxe MAC gloss……. stellar.
Make up is always done in my bathroom.
Last printed book I purchased was yet another Neil Gaiman book to add to my collection. I’m seriously in love with his writing.
Would love to win this!
I love my cats but can I say, cripes, allergy-central!
I’ve never done a guy’s makeup but I did supply a guy friend with makeup that he used to attempt a smokey eye on his girlfriend. End results: basically black/ dark eyeshadows over her lids, us in hysterics, and video that will forever be used to black mail him =)
I just bought Terry McMillan’s latest book last Friday to read on the train here in NYC. Can’t remember the name of the book! It is a good read though. I haven’t done makeup on a man and my favorite place to apply my makeup is on my kitchen table with my magnifying makeup mirror. I prefer rustic fruit tarts to pies except during the holidays. I make sweet potato pies and peach pies very well.
The strangest vehicle I know how to “drive”? A plasmacar. Those things are fun, and since I’m short, I don’t hit my head with my knees like other adults do!
hiiiiiiiiiiii sephora!
I share a bathroom with a roommate so all my makeup is done in my bedroom
I baked a pie just the other day for the first time, a delicious apple pie (with the help of my boyfriend.) It turned out way too delicious for a first pie. 🙂
My favorite place to do my makeup is in my bedroom. The lighting isn’t the best, but it’s where I keep my stash.
Whether my best friend Scott can come with me or no, I’m hitting Boston for my birthday. I’m tired of small town life and want to actually do something FUN for my birthday. 😛 And, hmm…as my birthday’s coming up, a $50 gift card sure wouldn’t go amiss…;-)
I was born at a Masons & Eastern Stars Convention in Kansas City, MO and flew back home to Detroit, MI when I was 3 days old!… That should make up for me not remembering how many times I’ve flown. : )
Just barely made the deadline!
I’ve flown on a plane at least once a year since I was eight.
My favourite place to put on my makeup is at my vanity in my bedroom. I’ve flown on a plane 20+ times. The most unusual vehicle I can drive would be a bumper car! The latest book I purchased would be Doctor Sleep by Stephen King. I have done a man’s makeup. I have baked pumpkin pie.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I love thrify’s ice cream! I’ve been going there since I was a little wee one! Cookies and cream! Mmmm! I think I’ve flown about 15-20 times! Going to fly home to San Francisco for Christmas to see my family! Can’t wait! Thank you for all your hard work! Love your blogs!
I did my guy’s zombie Halloween makeup and boy he looked freaky with bloody tears and scaly skin!
I love doing my makeup in my bedroom with my favorite mirror. It’s the comfiest and quietest place in the house :0)
I always do my makeup in my bedroom!
Missing my colleague who’s on a 2 week vacay to New Zealand 🙁
I use to LOVE thriftys ice cream! Until i discovered Handel’s ice cream in Redondo Beach! It’s soooo good and on Tuesdays the ice cream is only $2 and they let you choose 2 flavors. If you ever go i recommend the graham central startion flavor. It will change your life! lol.
