Unusually calm for a Monday… We’ll see how long that lasts, LOL!
I’m fickle when it comes to body lotions and rarely stick with the same one for long, but last week was all about Vaseline Sheer Infusion. Over the weekend I started crushing hard on Olay In-Shower Moisturizer — a *powerful* enabler of laziness (review coming soon!).
Yay with skinny jeans or leggings. 🙂
It depends on my general well-being from day to day. On bad days, your average piece of cold, greasy bacon has more imagination than I do.
It’s a NARS kinda day. I’m going with the Kalahari Duo (LURVE!) on my eyes, Sweet Revenge Lipgloss on my pucker and the Portofino/Malibu Multiple Duo on my cheeks.
I’m thinking about hand delivering my list to Santa at the mall to make sure he gets it. On the list so far — the NARS I Want You Lip Gloss Set and Chanel Professional Makeup Brush Set.
Pretty well, mostly. I’ve had some insomnia lately, but I took a sleeping pill before bed last night :(, and that helped. With the exception of one weird dream (I ran into Roger Sterling from Mad Men at the grocery store), I slept soundly through the night.
Home to visit our family in Hawaii, but I’ll be back in the Bay by New Year’s Eve. On that note, does anyone know much about pet sitting services? Any things to know before I look around? King Tubby Tabs will need an assistant while I’m out of the office.
Stretchy dark jeans with a black t-shirt and brown sweater.
Get a small Christmas tree, go running at least three times before Saturday, and find a kitty sitter/executive assistant for Tabs.
It’s hard getting back to the grind after a long weekend, isn’t it? I’m determined to make this a good day, though.
I was chatting with a friend last night about ruts and routine tasks, and how they tend to overtake life. It’s not always easy to see the forest through the trees… I told myself that today, if I start feeling overwhelmed, I’m gonna take a step back and remind myself to keep everything in perspective. 🙂
If you have a sec, pop in and let me know what’s shaking in your land of milk and honey. Just copy the list below, and paste it with your answers in the comments.

.-= Marina’s last blog post… Subscribe to Makeup4all to Get Daily Updates =-.
I thought about that… they love him (he’s their “Grandcat”) and would be thrilled to have him stay with them. Unfortch they live an hour away and Tabs isn’t very good in the car. Plus, my dog lives with them, which would probably turn Tabs into a nervous wreck.
Where are you going on vacay? I’m so jealous!
Yes, don’t make him live with a dog. My neighbour is a very good lady so I was not afraid to give her the keys so that she could feed my Sonya when I left. Maybe you can ask some of your friend to take him for a while?
This time it’s Egypt
.-= Marina’s last blog post… Givenchy Prisme Yeux Mono for Spring 2010 =-.
That’s SO AWESOME! I’ve always wanted to go there and see the pyramids. How long will you be there? Where are you gonna go?
You’ll have to take lots of pictures so I can vicariously live through you.
Since a lot of ladies are asking for the photos. I guess I post some on the blog 🙂 I’ll be there for a week and we planned some fun including Luxor!

That’s a huge move, girl! Wow! What’s the reason behind the move?
Haha… just saw I typed in “get buy.” Awesome.
I’m moving because one of the inherent problems of adjunct professors kicked in for me — enrollment is down at several schools in my area, so there aren’t enough classes in the spring. I’m heading to the Seattle area because there are more jobs there. Hopefully, I can get one of them. 🙂
Hopefully you’ll be able to find a gig that pays well and satisfies you. I will keep my fingers crossed and send you good job-seeking energy!

Le list
1. Mood: Lazy! But happy, this week I finish Uni, forever! LOL
2. What’s your favorite body lotion at the moment?: I’m not a body lotion fan, I tend to let the scales be. But at the moment I’m absolutely LOVING Dove’s Cream Oil shower thingy, it smells fantastic, spreads and foams like a dream and leaves my skin super hydrated. I think I know where your Olay review is heading 😀
3. Yay or nay for ankle booties?: Not now, it’s too hot for any type of boots here! But yay, cos they look hot with jeans, dresses, skirts, leggings. You know the drill.
4. Are you a creative person?: I think I am! A makeup artist has to be. And I like painting, drawing, cooking, and I believe they need a certain dose of creativity.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Nada, I’m just chilling at home. In a few I’ll be recreating a Style Black look, so maybe I should check back in a while?
6. Any beauty items on your wish list?: I was thinking of indulging on a MAC Holiday palette, but then I changed my mind since the price was 10X the original. It’s just too much of a splurge. So I’m thinking a couple of lippies or shadows. But if there were an imaginary list, OMG I’d go crazy. The list would be taller than me 😀
7. How did you sleep?: Like a pig, yo. 10 hours, a bit too much.
8. What are your plans for the holidays?: My grandma and cousin are visiting from Brazil for Christmas and New Year, and we’ll probably go partying -with my friends-. Then I’ll probably go to the beach with the girls, and after that maybe live for a couple of months in Brazil with my aunty. Maybe.
9. Outfit: PJ’s, with bottoms in a disastrous state.
10. Weekly goals: Finish my last essay, have a hella good time at my grad party on Friday, be able to wake up on Saturday morning to go to my makeup course, do a girls makeup in the afternoon and then assis her Sweet 15th. And rest on Sunday. No doubt about it.
.-= Marce’s last blog post… Young Punk Look – Tagged – Contest =-.
That’s so exciting, Marce! Do you have any your post-grad plans lined up?
Um…I think I’m gonna go to my aunt’s in Brasil to see if I can work over there for some months, maybe do another makeup course while I’m at it. If I get a job, great! If not, I’ll chill out at the beach for a month or so and then come back home and get a job here. I feel like studying photography, and practicing makeup, LOL. Obsessed? 😀
.-= Marce’s last blog post… Feeling MAC, MAC, MAC! =-.
I vote for chillin’ at the beach. Seriously, you have the rest of your life to work. Take a few months off! I wish I had done that.
1. Mood: Tired & a wee bit overwhelmed but… happy!
2. What’s your favorite body lotion at the moment? Neutrogena Norweigan Body Cream; it smells really good and is so hydrating.
3. Yay or nay for ankle booties? I like them… but don’t like them when they aren’t covered with pants.
4. Are you a creative person? I like to think so, yes.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: ATM, none.

Oh, I love the smell of that lotion, too!
How’s your Monday going? Hope you’re having a good one!
1) Mood:
Mellow because I just bought a whole boatload of makeup and that always makes me happy. I freely admit to being shallow sometimes ïŠ.
2) What’s your favorite body lotion at the moment?
Hmm, I need to find one of these. Have some Chanel presents that I might try out.
3) Yay or nay for ankle booties?
Love ‘em! As long as the heels aren’t too spindly, so I don’t fall and break my neck ïŠ. I just bought a new pair of Christian Louboutin ankle boots with thicker heels and they are super-comfortable!
4)Are you a creative person?
Not as much as I’d like to, am more of a science and math person by nature. But I like to get creative in the kitchen, by experimenting with cooking and baking . . . and with makeup of course!
5) Eyes/lips/cheeks
Eyes: MAC Photorealism quad with Humid as a liner; Estee Lauder mascara (one that curls, forgot the name); MAC See Sheer lipstick; Benefit Coralista on cheeks
6) Any beauty items on your wish list?
I’ve been lemming Laura Mercier Pink Grape lipstick ever since I saw my friend wearing it, but I cannot find it anywhere, including online stores, regular store, eBay, MUA, etc. Any ideas? Or should I give up on this Moby Dick?
7) How did you sleep?
I’ve been having nightmares for a week . . .very weird since nothing is bothering me. Any psychologists here?
8) What are your plans for the holidays?
Home for the holidays; hubby and I traveling to Bora Bora in February ïŠ
9) Outfit:
Emerald green cashmere sweater, black wool pencil skirt, black tights and Louboutin ankle boots.
10) Weekly goals:
Delegate at work, plan menus for holiday parties, buy toys for neighborhood charity toy drive
Faye! What makeup did you get? Share, share!
Oh Karen, I am almost ashamed to say what I got. After all the boatloads of stuff I have, and the resolutions I made last week not to buy anything (“I don’t need anything else from this year’s holiday collections!”) I somehow found myself buying from:
*Armani (four of the new Rouge d’Armani lipsticks)
*Lancome (a tinted Aqua Fusion moisturizer and four of their new L’Absolu Rouge lipsticks)
*Saks (the red lipstick and gold gloss from Estee Lauder’s holiday collection)
*Too Faced (three lip plumpers — they’re staples I use almost every day)
*Kate Summervile (decided to try her oil-free moisturizer)
*Nordstrom (pretty much the entire Shiseido Crystal Rocks holiday collection – two eye shadows, the lipstick, two face powders, an eye liner)
*Sephora (a Givenchy lipstick that, in my defense, I’ve been trying to get for a year and just came back as an LE item and a NARS lip pencil)
So now I’m blushing just reading this. It was the sales that sucked me in . . .those darn sales!
Have you gotten anything lately?
I splurged a little this weekend — I got some nail stuff from Sephora (a cuticle pen and another polish clean-up pen thingy) and a set of hot rollers from Sally Beauty. 🙂 I’m finally getting my hair cut and colored on Weds., which will be my big beauty splurge for the month.
Ohh, you’ll love that Kate moisturizer. I tried it and liked it, but my skin needs more moisture. It’s fabulous for oily skin, though, and the packaging is genius!
Let me know what you think of the Lancome tinted moisturizer! I’m curious…
Let me know what brand the Sally rollers are, if you get a chance, and if you like them — I’ve been thinking about trying some to give my super-straight hair a different look occasionally.
Post pics of your hair once you get it done! We must be in sync — I’m getting a cut and Nigella treatment (for shine/bounce) on Thursday :).
Hi Faye, the rollers are by Jilbere! Will let you know if they’re any good.
Have fun at the salon on Thursday. I love getting my hair done… it’s so relaxing. “)
1. Mood: Kinda yucky. I need to go to the gym. Bleh.
2. What’s your favorite body lotion at the moment? Victoria’s Secret PINK Fresh & Clean (I think?) the blue (and pink) one.
3. Yay or nay for ankle booties? YAY. With skinnies.
4. Are you a creative person? Sometimes. Not when I need it the most, though.
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: I was in a rush this morning: MAC Tempting (eyes), Chantecaille Les Petales lip gloss (lips), NARS Outlaw (cheeks).
6. Any beauty items on your wish list? Guerlain Meteorites!
7. How did you sleep? Crappily. With no roomie and no BF at the house I kept tricking myself into thinking there was an intruder in the house. 🙁
8. What are your plans for the holidays? Sleep. And visit my mom in CO. 🙂
9. Outfit: White tee and jeans with Wallabees
10. Weekly goals: Not fall asleep at work.
I freak out in the same way when I’m home alone at night. It kinda helps to have Tabs, but honestly, he’s not the world’s best guard cat, ha ha!
Hope you get better sleep tonight. 🙂
aww… if i weren’t on the opposite side of the golden gate, i’d watch tabs! you can board him at a vet or kennel place, but usually they’re in small cages… sometimes bigger ones- depends on how many animals they already have boarding… another option is to have a pet sitter… they’ll come 2-3x a day to make sure he’s ok… if you check craigslist, there’s a lot of people offering their services…. sometimes they’ll even bring the pet to their house and have them stay at their own home… hope that helps! i’m jealous you’re going to hawaii!!
.-= jana’s last blog post… save the tiny burrowing owls… =-.

Sorry 🙂
1. Mood: Groggy. My sleep cycle is all screwed up.
2. What’s your favorite body lotion at the moment? In between favs. I don’t like the ones with a lot of silicone and it seems they all have that right now. Going to head to the natural store to find one without. Yes to Carrots was most recent attempt but can’t stand the heavy floral scent.
3. Yay or nay for ankle booties? Yay. I have a nice black pair that work with my suits. I get a nice look and my feet are thankful for a chunkier heel.

Mood: Stressed… got a paper to write on “Heart of Darkness” and a toothache. 🙁
Body Lotion: This little Fruits of Passion gifty size tube.. yummy Guava/Grapefruit smell
Booties: I look awful in ’em, but do like some of them… with skinny jeans, or leggings WITH A LONG ENOUGH TOP or dress. I have seen enough leggings-and-shirt combos. They are a no-no.

Makeup: Smidge of Clinique loose powder and Quo cream blush, UD toasted eyeshadow, with MB ink black kohl liner and Rimmel Glam eyes mascara.
Beauty Wish List: MAC expensive pink, and honey lust. My last roommate had them, and I used to sneak a bit now and then…. shhhh 😉

That’s one of my favorite books. Have you ever seen Apocalypse Now? It’s loosely based on Heart of Darkness.
Oh, and I’ll take some homemade peppermint bark!
Funny that you mention that- it’s a class called Literature into Film… and that’s pretty much the point of the class. Book, movie, discussion, repeat. Most of the people taking it thought we’d be reading/watching Harry Potter and the like… turns out it Oedipus and Amadeus. It IS a uni. class… really.

1. Mood: Freaking out. My first two graduate school applications are due tomorrow night, I have two homework assignments due tomorrow morning (neither of which I’ve started) and I was up until 7am working on my statement of purpose which is still a weak piece of crap right now. I just got an email from my GRA with suggestions on how to strengthen it, but I’m already so close to the word limit (for one of the sops anyway) I’m not sure what I can do. AND I still have to write a diversity statement for both schools…
2. What’s your favorite body lotion at the moment? Korres Jasmine Body Milk. I want the matching body butter too.

You have a lot on your plate, girl. Take care of yourself… and take it one day at a time. 🙂

2. What’s your favorite body lotion at the moment? Loving Soap & Glory’s The Righteous Butter from Target, smells sooo good!

6. Any beauty items on your wish list? Isn’t there always? 😉 Definitely want to get the full size of Too Faced’s Shadow Insurance primer, that stuff made me finally see the true color of my shadows! Also want to finally find a new fragrance, but that will be a quest in and of itself.
7. How did you sleep? The usual, i.e. lots of crazy dreams. This time it was about going to a convention in New York, but having to dig through snow and drive on half-finished bridges to get there.
8. What are your plans for the holidays? Home! My family is super close and we wouldn’t dream of going anywhere for Christmas (except maybe to Norway for once, my dad’s whole side of the family is there). We do everything Xmas Eve, so Xmas Day is pajama day! 🙂
9. Outfit: Sequined grey cardigan from Kohl’s (half off, booyah!), loose black tank, black pants. Clearly, I didn’t want to iron today.
10. Weekly goals: Try to find something to wear for my photo session on Sunday, go shopping for a new iMac (RIP, old one!), start on homemade Xmas gifts.

Aww, I wish I could go to Europe! I went once in 2005 and am dying to go back.
Hee, if I ever end up traveling to Norway now I know who to ask for travel tips! 🙂

Nars Orgasm on the cheeks and Chanel Glossimer in Muscat on the lips. The colors work with the red hair and green eyes so I rarely stray from it.
6. Any beauty items on your wish list? The gel liner in Indigo Ink – having trouble finding that shade. Always have Fresh Brown Sugar scrub at the top of my wish list. Yummm.
7. How did you sleep? Was sleeping well until the dog started barking at the window. It was 3 am. The alarm goes off at 5:30.

2. What’s your favorite body lotion at the moment? I’m not a huge body lotion person, I don’t really know why. My skin gets dry, I guess I’m too lazy to put on lotion. I guess the one I would use is Cetaphil’s Daily Moisturizing Cream.

8. What are your plans for the holidays? Every year my family has Christmas at our house, but I’m not going any where. I REALLY wish I could go to some tropical island…..One can dream!

10. Weekly goals: finish loads of homework, work on crap for my mock trial, don’t die, be asleep at 10:30 every night, and attempt to eat healthier.
Hey, you never know! You may end up spending the holidays somewhere tropical… 🙂
That’s cool that you’re in mock trial. Many moons ago I did forensics, and I liked it a lot.
I’m the Compliance/Privacy Officer for our company. aka the work police…..But I do say yes on occasion. =)

8. What are your plans for the holidays? Working! I was off Thanksgiving, so I’m working Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day.

10. Weekly goals: Get my haircut (and hopefully not hate it!), go to the gym at least twice, and come up with a new makeup look.
Hi Karen,
I can’t answer all of the questions you posed, but I wanted to suggest checking with your vet’s office for pet sitters.
If you have friends that don’t love too far, perhaps you can ask them? So long a someone pops by once a day, that should be fine. Probably the best solution would be to board Tabs. Not ideal, but at least you know where he is all the time! There is a great cat-boarding place in San Carlos that lets the kitties out once a day to roam around (just one at a time) and had a separate play room for one on one time with the staff to exercise and interact with them.
Good luck with that – keep us posted!
