Good morning and happy Caturday, fellow feline-and-fabulosity aficionado! ??? Guess which lucky lady got treated to this delightful tray of breakfast treats this morning?! Chef Coco prepared this spread for me, and I gotta say…my family knows me pretty well because I love to start my Saturdays with a croissant.
How much do you wanna bet there’s a real café somewhere on this planet that serves French fries and bow-tie pasta for breakfast? I bet.
- —–> This week is MBB’s 14th anniversary. HOLY WOW! Yup, I started blogging in February of 2007. For a quick statistical analysis, that’s 14,064 blog posts and more than 3,516,000 words, NOT INCLUDING our comments, and here’s the very first thing I ever posted.
- Makeup looks inspired by book covers is VERY COOL!
- Yes please — 8 expert secrets for smoother, shinier hair.
- OK, I don’t know how accurate this guide to buying niche fragrances based on the perfume you wore as a teen is (LOL!), but I quite enjoyed the trip down memory lane with the shout-outs to CK One, Clinique Happy and Gucci Envy.
- You could buy this fancy fragrance with ginger notes to banish the kitchen smells in your home. Or…you could open a window! I’m just sayin’…
- How pros fix broken nails…
- The most aesthetically pleasing makeup palette looks like a work of art.
- Ice nails are a thing!

- Meet Gabe Adams, the 22-year-old TikTok star who doesn’t need hands to do glamorous, colorful makeup looks.
But can it beg for treats?
GET IT, MIMI!
Will somebody please pry these worn-out skinny off me and put me in these clothes, THX.
I can’t stop looking at her nails.

One of the reasons I love Pilates: you don’t have to wear shoes.
Well, I think I found my next makeup project.
So, what’s for breakfast today? Whatever it is, I hope it’s tasty! Can I have some? ?
Have a wonderful weekend!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Scrambled eggs with last night beans n hot sauce for me!
68$ for room spray? Really? Lovely as it sounds I wouldn’t pay more than 6 – 8$ for something like that. many congrats on your fourteen years Karen. I always read your blog.
Wow, So I’ve been following you for 14 years! I agree with Jennifer above – you are one of the best! Happy anniversary.
14 years! Congrats! My trip to Cannes was 10 years ago this year, we’ve been blog buddies a long time!
Book inspired makeup is fun! My breakfast was frosted mini-wheats, but your spread from Connor Claire looks great!
Happy 14th blog anniversary! I always enjoy reading your posts. It’s like stopping by and chatting with a fellow makeup loving friend. ?
Happy Anniversary, Karen! I have learned so much from you over the years, and I look forward to your blog every day. Here’s to many many more wonderful years! Thanks for providing a happy place for all of us to gather.
Loved the eyeliner tutorial video!
Woo! 14 years!! I’ve been following you since 2008 … I remember I had just moved away from the yay area and I was so lonely in my new apartment so I googled makeup blogs and the rest is history lol. Sometime in 2011 I was visiting bay area again and I was shopping at Nordstrom and walked by their personal shopper section and the sales woman was surfing the web and I, being the super nose person I am, snuck a peak and guess what she was reading? YOUR blog!! It was like a weird celebrity sighting except it was more like “hey this random but totally cool looking chick who works at Nordstrom literally dressing other people in fashionable clothing thinks the MBB is cool! Therefore it must be cool and therefore I must also be cool since I follow this blog too…” Hahaha anyway keep it up! Here’s to another 14 years!!!
Congrats Karen! I’ve been following your blog from oversea for a few years now. Love your writting, professional graphique and photo work, and your stories. Hope many more years to come!
