Torn. Sad because we fly home to Cali today; happy because I can’t wait to see Tabs.
Surfing, reading, gardening and knitting.
Side-swept bangs and a low ponytail.
Any kind of fruit salad that doesn’t have cantaloupe.
Skinny stretch jeans (oops, I ate too many malasadas on this trip) and a loose yellow and brown top with a hibiscus flower print.
I’m in travel mode today, wearing a basic look with Stila Lash Visor Mascara, Cargo Blu Ray High Definition Gloss in Belize on my lips and NARS the Multiple in Portofino on my cheeks.
I wax my upper lip, pluck my brows and shave everywhere else. I’m a hairy beast, and hairy beasts gotta do what hairy beasts gotta do, ya know?
El Hub and I are hoping to move into a new place, assuming I don’t have a nervous breakdown while we look for it, LOL!
I love the night life. I got to boogie… on the disco ’round, oh yeah.
Get back into the groove of things with my freelance writing, go through all of the e-mail I missed, catch up on my blogging, pay some extra attention to Tabs, and do some push-ups because I feel weak!
Aloha, homies. El Hub and I are getting ready to leave for the airport and to head on home to California. It was great to see our family, but we have to get back to work.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
hey karen!
happy long weekend!
my cousin flew up to montreal from chicago so we had a bit of fun together.
new things… just got approved to adopt a cat from a local foster-based rescue. the cat i will hopefully get to take home is an orange and white tabby boy who i don’t have a name for yet.
time for a quick poll: cat names… help me decide!
the names are obviously going to be dance related names, since i’m that obsessed with it.
a) cha cha (orange cat seems like a cha cha i don’t know why)
b) samba (this seems more like a girl’s name, but all of these are gender neutral)
c) rumba (if the cat was a black, sleek cat?
d) mr. jive
Le List
Mood: good.
Hobbies? ballroom/dancesport.
Hair: au naturel right now.
What’s your favorite snack? possibly chips & extra spicy salsa.
Outfit: pink muffin-print pajama pants and a tank top
Eyes/lips/cheeks: nada…
What’s your preferred method of hair removal? shaving/nair cream
Summer plans? adopt a cat, visit chicago.
Are you a night or a morning person? night owl
Weekly goals: visit my kitty, don’t eat junk.
Hi Ines,
Ooh, lucky girl and lucky kitty!
I love all of these names… but I think I like Cha Cha. 🙂 You’ll have to try it on him and see if it sticks. I used to call Tabs “F.T.” for Fussy Tabby, but that didn’t quite work. Somehow the name Tabs came along organically. So if your tabby boy doesn’t take to Cha Cha I think eventually his name will come to you!
When do you get to bring him home?
Mood:
Hobbies? Sketching art, singing, acting, and – here’s the big surprise! – SCHOOL! I love school. 😀
Hair: I just got up (this is my SUPER lazy Monday off!) so my hair is in a messy bun (no, not the fashionable sort) and sticking up in irregular tufts at the crown, LOL! I look like a mad scientist.
What’s your favorite snack? Cape Cod Salt and Cracked Pepper Potato Chips. Sure, I need a glass of water or 2 every time I eat them and nobody else in my household likes them, but for me, they’re like a spicier version of sour cream & onion chips!
Outfit: Dunn and Cordoba tee (my orthodontist) and pajama bottoms with cupcakes on them, haha!
Eyes/lips/cheeks: Au naturale as of now, but later I’m gonna do a summery blue eye and cool pink lip with MAC Filament on the inner lid, L’Oreal Wear Infinite Shadow Quad in Out Of The Blue (the lighter blue on the middle lid, dark blue on the outer lid and crease with Filament to diffuse crease), Navy Stain Powerpoint on the lower lashline, Well Dressed blush and Pink Nouveau lipstick.
What’s your preferred method of hair removal? Shaving, with hair conditioner instead of shaving gel. It makes the hair so much easier to remove and silkens my skin!
Summer plans? Art classes with an AMAZING artist at my local folk art gallery, auditions for the junior production of The Wizard of Oz at my local theater, and lazing about with friends. No traveling for me.. The economy sucks too much! 😉
Are you a night or a morning person? Night person, mostly because I’m cranky in the morning.
Weekly goals: Fix my geography folder, use my new L’Oreal shadow, find a solution for my auful split ends!
Hi Redhead,
I love school, too. If I could I’d be a perpetual student. 🙂
Woops! Forgot to include my mood.
Mood: Excited for summer/excited to try out my new L’Oreal shadow quad that I swatched on my hand. SOOOO pretty!! I bought Out Of The Blue, and the shades are: Metallic golden copper, metallic deep bronze, sea foamy sky blue with golden green shimmer, and dark, dark blue with no black tones and subtle aqua shimmer. HAWT!
Hi Karen! That’s sad you have to fly back from vay-cay but I bet Tabs misses his mommy so much!
Mood: Yearning to go outside, it’s hella sunny and warm
Hobbies? Photography (hoping to make it more than a hobby someday), makeup, ink drawing
Hair: Just scrunched some mousse into it and let it air dry
What’s your favorite snack? Sour cream & onion chips, but only on occasion
Outfit: light grey cropped hoodie, soccer jersey, jeans and runners (thank goodness for my work’s non-existant dress policy)
Eyes/lips/cheeks: Revlon liquid eyeliner (tested it out this morning, really easy to use) and MAC Dazzleglass in Baby Sparks
What’s your preferred method of hair removal? I’m used to shaving but last week I tried out those Parissa wax strips. Pleasantly surprised at how easy it was and how well it worked!
Summer plans? Work on my portfolio
Are you a night or a morning person? Definitely a NIGHT OWL.

I’ll just answer both. Right now because of all the rain I have not been using the flat iron and embracing my curls, so that means it’s in a ponytail, with a side part, and sideswept bangs. My favorite way to wear my hair is straightned with a flat iron, then curl certain sections.
