I am just going away to a music festival in a beautiful part of Wales for 4 nights, I think I have told you about it before I cant wait for all the music and fun but am not particularly looking forward to the camping part so im taking LOTs of toiletries!!
Hi Holly,
Oh yeah! I remember you telling me about that months ago, how exciting. 🙂 Did you ever find a product to protect your hair in the sun? Right now I’m using a protectant spray from Pureology called ColorMax. I like it so far, and put it on before I go running.
LOL, I’m like the worst camper, ever. I need my creature comforts, for sure.
I love Phish Food too! I guess us Yanks love our sweet treats. Next time you are here in NY you’ll have to pick up a pint of the Haagen Daz Lemon sorbet! It’s one of my favorites.

OMG karen it was a blast! It was at my alma mater so I kept seeing peeps I knew. I saw my old ceramics teacher who’s just great! Random thought I need to find a nordstrom cuz that colorforms collection looks hot. What do you think Karen?
LOL, I remember how my dad laughed soo hard when Prince turned into “The artist formerly known as Prince”. I was young so I didn’t really get it, but now I totally get a kick out of it!
I heard dark chocolate is better for you, but I still lurrrrve the taste of regular ol’ milk chocolate! As a matter of fact, I’m gonna buy myself some this Feb 14, whether I have a Valentine or not!

Gimme, gimme, blues and greens!
Hi Elle,
Hmm, I hear ya.They aren’t all that bad, though. One day when you aren’t looking you’ll find him, or he’ll find you. 🙂
BTW, where are you meeting these guys? When I was single, I had a general rule not to date guys I met in clubs (including the D.J. … beware of them D.J.’s, girls!).
You have a good night, too!
Hi Stefania,
How is your book? Do you like it enough to recommend?
I’ve been reading “My Sister’s Keeper” by Jodi Picoult; I’m half way through it and I don’t think I’ll make it to the end.
Hi KK,
G’night, girl! Get to bed. 🙂
Hi Lehea,
Ha, ha, we totally played that song at my wedding. El Hub and I had all of our guests e-mail their favorite dance songs and In Da Club was one of them.
I’m looking forward to MAC Colourforms, too!
Hi Laura,
Oh, sweetie. I’m sorry you’re feeling broken hearted.
Before I found El Hub, when I felt broken hearted my song of choice was Give it Up, Turn it Loose by En Vogue. It’s a song about having a broken heart, but being strong enough to move on. I still like listening to it, and thinking about all the tough times it got me through.
Get good sleep tonight. Take care of yourself and feel better soon…
Hi Tania,
Sounds like you had a lot of fun! It’s always so much fun to see people from your past, right? I always look forward to seeing my girls from high school and college. 🙂
As for the Nordie’s Colourforms, I’m excited about the Cool and Warm Eyes sets. I find that I don’t always reach for lip palettes (I’m more a tube kinda girl), so I’ll probably skin those. I am not a fan of the short handled SE brushes so I’m gonna skip those, too. But yeah, those eye palettes look so pretty! I hope they are just as gorgeous in person! How about you?
Hi Lucky,
ME TOO! I like dark chocolate/semi sweet for certain things, like cookies and cakes, but when it comes to candy I lurrves me some milk chocolate. I just finished my See’s candies, yum. 🙂
I think that’s a great idea to buy yourself some chocolate for Valentine’s Day! I just might do the same thing (and then I’ll schedule some extra workouts!).

Thanks Karen! Haha, I’m 25 and have had my share of relationships (not very many, and an almost-engagement) but I’m always kind of astonished at how different guys are. It’s sad when even my mom, who has been married for 30+ years and obviously has not dated lately, notices the difference. 😉
Also: “BTW, where are you meeting these guys? When I was single, I had a general rule not to date guys I met in clubs (including the D.J. … beware of them D.J.’s, girls!).” There are no truer words than those right there. Hahaha! Beware of the DJs! And to answer your question, two of the last guys I dated (and turned out to be sketchy) I met on, of all places, my train. I’ve heard stories about people falling in love on the train and having a happy ending, but trust me–if it doesn’t work out, it’s a total pain in the ass. I’m not about to change my route for anyone, so it makes things a bit awkward if things don’t work out! I never really meet guys anywhere else though…I’m in grad school and everyone seems to be married, don’t really like the bar/club scene for meeting guys who want little more than a few fun nights since I’m more of a relationship person…it’s crazy!
Ah, the Makeup and Beauty Blog–also good for guy therapy. 😉 Happy Tuesday!
omg! I love that Dior liquorice nail polish. I usually use it on my toes. Such an unusual color!

Hi Shockingpink,
How fun! What movies did you watch?
Hi Ditte,
Good luck with getting your work done! Gardening sounds like fun. What kind of gardening do you do? Last year I got my first taste of gardening by growing some tomato plants on my deck. I really enjoyed it.
Hi Stefania,
It sounds like a pretty story. I tried to start an autobiography last night but I ended up falling instantly asleep. I need more books in my life. 🙂
Hi Yellow Fever,
NICE! Did you get your Dream Angels scent at the sale? I gotta go back!
I think that song is by REO Speedwagon. That’s a GREAT song to sing to in the car.
“I can’t fight this feeling anymore… I’ve forgotten what I’ve started fighting for!”
Hi Miss QQ.,
Your sandals sound so cute!
Hi Laura B.,
I hope you clear your desk! Damn that paperwork… it’s the bane of my existence. 🙂
Ellery!
What the heck are cheeselets? They sound DELICIOUS!
Hi Elle,
It’s interesting that both you and your mom have noticed this change. My friend, a beautiful, successful girl in her 30s, is still single, and she’s told me something along the same lines. She lives in San Francisco, and what she tells me is that the guys she runs into are all very immature (and these are guys in their 30s and 40s)! She says the ones she runs into all act like they are stuck in college and they don’t want to be serious. I dunno if it’s a geography issue, or just a change in younger male culture in general.
It’s been a few years since I’ve been in the game, but lemme tell ya… it gets infinitely more difficult when you start working, ugh. I ended up meeting El Hub through a friend at work, but honestly, if we hadn’t met I think my only real options to meet guys would’ve been at the gym (which is kind of similar to meeting guys on the train — if it goes to sour then you are stuck watching this guy doing squats with the knowledge that you’ve swapped spit).
Hmm, maybe your married friends in school know people? Married folks always want to set up their single friends (gives us something to do, ha!). What are you studying, btw?
Hi Sanita,
It’s so pretty! I love the dark shade, but oh, it’s so high maintenance.
Hi Dao,
GIRRRRRL, I hear that! Finish that writing! 😉
That Britney song totally sticks in your head, doesn’t it? Once you hear it, it won’t go away!
Hi Brittany K,
Thanks, girl! It’s so great to finally meet you. What kind of bad ass cookies are you making today? Gosh, I think my stomach just rumbled!
Hi Tori,
Where/when are you going to Florida? I’m going to be there in November for the first time since I was 14, and I’m pretty excited to go. It’ll be for a wedding, but I’m sure I’ll get to sneak in some fun sightseeing!
Hi Kelly,
Fun! Are you two buds close friends from college? I haven’t seen my college girls in a long time; I probably won’t see them all until the fall, which is when one of my friends is getting married. 🙂
BTW, I have that B&BW Honeysuckle spray. I love it!
Hi Beth,
LOL, you crack me up. I hope your back and neck are feeling better. Both mine are sore, too, but it’s sore in a good way from dance class.
Spaghetti sounds really delish right now!
Hi Michelle,
Isn’t Bella Sugar a great site? I really enjoy it.
Hope work is going fast for you today!
Hi Maria,
The MAC Paint Pots are fab! I’m wearing Nice Vice today (from Fafi).
Your nails sound cute! Have a good day. 🙂
Hi Jeannie,
Me too! I’m still craving it big time today.
Hi Louise Gray,
How cool! It must be need to see your plants growing and getting bigger. Are you a big gardening person? I have house plants, and last year for the first time I grew tomato plants.

Karen,
I’m from Montreal, Canada and I just want to let you know that I love your blog and you are a huge source of inspiration for me.
These days I’m a little bit lazy regarding beauty and makeup. Since the end of April, I’ve been through a tough breakup with my partner of almost 10 years and I have to say that with your “Monday Poll” you gave me energy and the taste to be beautiful again …
Thank you for your EXCELLENT work 🙂

Hi again Karen,
have a gigantic garden, where I have just cleared the long flower bed of weeds – now I’m gonna fill the space between the flowers with wood scraps. Afterwards, there’s the rest of the garden to tend to (heeeelp :)). Veggies are something I at the earliest will consider next spring.
I do have 3 apple trees, grapes and strawberries out there, so I’m content for now with fruit plants.
Tomatoes sounds like fun – I might consider some of those next year – or eggplants (grilled with olive oil and salt/pepper, yum).
Ditte
Hey Karen!
Hmmm…interesting that your friend has noticed the same thing in San Francisco…because it’s totally the same here. My almost-30-year-old guy friend *totally* acts like he’s still in college. I love the guy, but eeesh. It’s pretty common, and while I’m definitely not the most mature person out there (I still find some episodes of “Jackass” funny…), I can’t deal with a guy who still has that frat-guy mentality all around!
I can only imagine the awkwardness of having something go sour with someone you see at the gym. It’s totally awkward enough being on the same train schedule, but then having to see someone while you’re on your elliptical? Ugh.
I’m studying biology, and while I love it I’m having a crisis in terms of deciding whether or not I want to finish (I’m doing it part-time) or go onto law school. Ugh. I’ve always been interested in too many things and that makes it really hard to figure out what I want to do! Gotta keep trying things out, though 😉 Have a great day!
Haha, would be too coincidental if your tummy had been full of tuna&ham pizza, too, lol. 😀
Thanks for the safe travel vibes, I think they did help! I’m safely back at home, feels great to get to sleep in my own bed and get to hang out with mom. It’s awesome traveling but every now and then coming back doesn’t feel that bad either. 🙂
Have a great day! Your FOTD was gorgeous, you can pull off purples and blues so well! I would look like as if I had been mugged, lol.
Alekss last blog post..Life Update
Hi Rachel, London,
Hello from across the pond! Hope you are feeling less tired today. What book are you reading?
Hi Music_is_freedom,
Yum, bubble tea… too bad I have to cross the bridge when I get the urge for it (grrr). I hear ya about getting some sleep. Get some good Z’s girl!
Hi Megan,
Cute! I gotta say, plaid shoes, when done well, are *very* cute.
I am craving Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes, too.
Hi Josay,
Aww, sweetie. My heart goes out to you. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to relearn how to live your life again after parting with a person who’s been part of you for a decade. I hate to quote Celine Dion (hey, she’s from Canada, too!) but your heart will go on.
In all seriousness, though, stay strong, and concentrate on yourself… and when you don’t feel good, please know that if you need a little strength, you have people in your life (and in this lil’ blog) that will give you girl power when you need it most. 🙂
Big hugs!
Hi Bella,
OMG… seriously, I just got back from dance class and I’m eating some crappy noodles out of a box, and after I reading about your food craving my stomach rumbled REALLY LOUDLY. Gimme, gimme, garlic fries!
Hope you had fun at the game with your friends, and that you made it there on time!
Hi Iheartmakeup,
You’re welcome! 🙂
Hope you’re having a good night!
Hi Ditte,
Wow! You have quite the green thumb, girlie. 🙂 I have only eaten home grown strawberries a few times. Aren’t they heavenly?
Tomatoes are fun. I had a three plants on my deck, and grew them “upside down” with this cool tomato planter called the Topsy Turvy. Have you heard of it? It’s a hanging planter which keeps the roots at the top, so that the plant grows downward and you don’t need to cage it. Mine got pretty big; I had both yellow and red heirlooms. They were delicious.
Hi Elle,
Hmm, maybe we have a nationwide epidemic of male immaturity. I bet somebody is doing a study on it, and that we’ll eventually read about it on Yahoo or something one of these days. I think there’s lots of great guys out there, but finding them is kind of like playing craps: it all eventually boils down to dumb luck. I guess dating more could increase one’s odds. Another friend of mine who’s single (I was the first in the batch to get hitched) actually is looking for guys online. She uses this site called Crazy Blind Date. Have you heard of it? She’s gone on several dates, and although she hasn’t made a serious connection with anybody, it does get her out there.
OH GIRL! I worked in the legal field for a long time. All I gottta say is work in a law firm/legal department first before taking the jump into law school. It’s definitely not as sexy as those lawyer shows on TV.
Aleks!!!
Glad to hear you are back. Don’t you love finally getting to sleep in your own bed? I bet it feels like a fluffy cloud.
What was the best part of your trip? I can’t wait to hear about your adventures. 🙂
OK, seriously? I’m coming here to ALL of my advice now. Hahaha! You rock, Karen! Thanks for the career advice and the tip-off to the website…I’ll let you know if anything comes about! Have a great night!
LOL! Thanks Elle!
If you ever have any questions about the law school route/working in a legal environment I’d be happy to answer them. I took the LSATS right out of school, and then worked for several years as legal support in litigation and in the in-house legal department for a large company. I learned a ton, but the biggest lesson was that I was NOT destined for law school. But alas, that’s another story for another time.
You have a good night, too!
