To whom it may concern,
It’s still dark outside and it’s almost 8. This, I do not like.
Stupid rainy weather!
Doh, as a Californian, now I feel obliged to say, “But we do need the rain,” which is true. It’s been way too dry here lately. All the creeks and ponds were drying up before this latest storm, and I bet the heritage oak trees on my hill are growing very narrow rings this year…
How’s the holiday shopping coming along? I was ahead of schedule, but now I’m starting to fall behind. I gotta get out there and brave the crowds! — and I could also use some vitamin M (makeup).
Good reason to visit Sephora. 🙂
I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Good luck in this weekend’s giveaway.

Aidita says
I love the new Sephora solid cleanser to wash my brushes. It’s awesome!!

Bedazzled eyebrows? Absolutely no-no, at least for me. I like them groomed, but natural.

Melissa says
happy holidays!
Rachel says
I LOVE FLANNEL! Men’s JCrew flannels all the way
MISSVEE says

Sasha Dorman says

Mary María says
Flannel shirts are a definite YES
Terri says
I suddenly realized that I need some boots to wear with sweater dresses and skirts in the winter. Unfortunately, my large calves make it almost impossible to find ones that fit me.
Debra says
Ditto here about larger calves & tall boots. Try the wide-shaft ones. Although I find the mid-height boots are more fun and less effort (work) to wear!
Erika C. says
I love yellow roses and I’m excited about this upcoming Cyber Monday.
Debra says
Hi Rainy Day!
Yes, we Californians need the rain. (I said it but I’m not feelin’ it which is bad cause Hubby works getting the water to all those parched water users).
I just pulled the trigger on a bib necklace I’ve been eyeing since September. 60% off.
Just stocking stuffers to buy now. I know. I’m disgusting.
By the way, more rain is on the way! Think: wet week ahead.
Just buy a Linnea’s Lights Candle in Fir and light it up and the rain won’t be so oppressive!
Lisa Brown says
flannel shirts: yes
Michelle says
Flannel shirts can look nice and even sexy on men. It can look cute on women, but it depends how they wear it. It’s personally not my style though.

Flannel Shirts are a yes! I love them paired with a chic necklace and cute flats or boots- takes away from the lumberjack look!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Jennifer Huebl says
I realized this winter that I desperately need a good pair of winter boots! Waterproof, warm and tall enough to handle the 4 foot snow drifts that plague my neck of the woods. All my previous concerns about having “cute” footwear were dashed when I realized university would require a long hike from home to the bus, long, looooong walks across a giant campus, and another long hike (that somehow seems 4 km longer) from the bus to home. Ugly lined boots, here I come!
Icequeen81 says
Underwear , why rainy season , less easy to wash and also the pups destroyed a few I had, and some were a wrong fit. So yea I needed underwear.

Jennifer says
We got a lot of snow on Wednesday. The lights kept flickering so I decided to cook the turkey right away. Good thing, since our power was out on Thanksgiving day from 2AM until 7PM. My brother and his family came down to NH from their ski weekend in VT. We used the grill to heat up Buffalo chicken dip, dressing, gravy, and turkey slices so everyone had a choice of hot or cold turkey sandwiches. We used the snow to keep the beers cold, and lit lots of candles and had plenty of fleece to keep everyone warm. It ended up being a really fun time. My son thought it was the best Thanksgiving he ever had.
Kristin Mc says
I had cake for breakfast today. But, it was pumpkin cake. Pumpkin is a gourd, which is a vegetable. Ipso facto, I had vegetables for breakfast, so all is good and right with the world.
Bianca Rogoveanu says
I feel fierce evey time i wear red lipstick !
Lizzie says
I love flannel shirts.They remind me of Kurt Cobain

Bedazzled eyebrows, no; flannel shirts, yes – although I live on the Texas coast and it’s too warm to wear them about 95% of the time.
(I might give bedazzled eyebrows a pass if you were going to a rave or something like that, but short of that, still no.)
Joni says
Hi karen, hope you are having a great weekend. Bejeweled statement eyebrows, no!! Don’t like them sorry! I definitely need some new shirts and jeans, after having my second baby, I was put on some medication for a condition that got me about 10-15 lbs! Thanks medicine, I appreciate it. We build a wall up this weekend in our room to split for our son, he is 4 and so excited to have his own room.
Sandy says
Woke up to a sprinkling of snow on the ground today and made cinnamon buns, the perfect start to the weekend!
Shawana says

Jessica says
Bedazzled statement eyebrows: NO.
Jennifer says
One way to make a manicure last longer: pick up a buffing block and use it like the manicurist does in between sessions.

I love my flannel shirts. They are great for layering in the winter. Also recently had to buy a pair of skate shoes as I’m going to get into longboarding.

For my manicures, I make sure to apply thin, even coats to avoid chipping.

susan says
I say yes to flannel!
Chari perez says
flannel shirts: yes!!!
Johnna Quick Owens says
$50 from Sephora would certainly come in handy, especially when they have sales like this week’s Black Friday sale. I had so much fun stalking the website, making sure I was ready for it to start, and by 6 minutes after midnight I had all my purchases made and was done for the night! But they had such great deals, so I have to say I am happy. I can, however, think of at least a couple other items to put under the tree with a gift card like this!
jackie says
I feel fierce anytime I wear a bold lip.
Amy says
I had a great Thanksgiving meal with my family.

Love me some flannel! So cozy and fun for the dark cold nights xxxxx
Nicole says
Sephora opens in Sydney on Friday, but I won’t be flying up for the grand opening as we have a big holiday coming up (yay, for Hawaii-ventions). A $50 gift card would certainly come in handy – Becca Beach Tint, Bite lippie, a new mascara (a good one) or several bottles of Formula X.
alice says
big YES to Flannel. so soft…
I used to wrap the tip of my fingernail to make the manicure last a little bit longer. A nice layer of topcoat I think really helps too.
Recie says
I recently discovered that I do not own a single piece of flannel! I live in the south, so you would think this would be a necessity for me. I love the way flannel tops look & how they can be dressed up or down. Hopefully I will have a variety of flannel tops in my closet, sooner rather than later!
Remi says
The only way I can get a manicure to last is to get gel polish.. I am hard on my nails.

Monica says
Flannel shirts: Flannel plaid shirts are a yes on handsome lumberjack-type men.
Hazel says
I remember the glitter and dazzles back in the 70s Disco days. If your going dancing with your pals, why not, you only young once. Dressing up, wild hair color, dazzles, it is all part of the fun.
Rhea says
I’ve been dying to try out the lip sets that have been released for the holiday. What can I say I’m a lip junkie;)

A piece of clothing you recently realized you desperately need to buy?
An entire wardrobe — after losing 40 pounds. Yikes!

Anne-G. says
Hi Karen! Thank you for the amazing giveaway!
I make my manucure last longer either by using the Sèche vite top coat, or the Poshé one (when the Sèche vite’s odor is starting to remind me of how bad the ingredients are…).
Siew says
I find nail prep the best for a great long lasting manicure. That and sealing up the tip edge of the nail.

Rhoda K says
I’ve seen an oversized jumper that I would love to add to my wardrobe!

Lisa J says
Bedazzled eyebrows ~ it’s funny you brought this up because I’ve noticed it around the web more and more. It’s one of the few things I really don’t like and haven’t seen anyone pull it off yet. Ick, but to each his own.

Rain is a good thing!
Christy Peeples DuBois says
I love flannel shirts. In fact, just this weekend my 18 year old came to my room and asked if I could have the clothes she had in her arms. They were my clothes I had forgotten all about and one shirt was a flannel plaid from Eddie Bauer from yyeeesassrrrsss ago!!! I put it on and oh it felt so good. I did not want to give it to her (I know that’s so selfish) but I did because I had forgotten all about it.
kim says
I love flannel shirts. I steal them from my hubby and sleep in them all winter.

Claudia Davis says
My Favorite hair salon now is Aveda in Manhattan…its the school where the students are doing the cuts. I always request a graduating student which is more $ but its still a lot less than a Aveda salon and I do like people who work there and the color they use.
rebecca says
i am down for bedazzled anything… so i would try brows. i actually have been dying to do a crazy glitter brow!!
Emily says
I don’t know about eyebrows, but I have used eyelash glue to glue sequins to my face in the eye corner/cheek area. Rhinestoned nails, perhaps.
Efrain says
Well I haven’t entered in one of these giveaways because of school for some time but I feel lucky.

Dear Rafflecopter, please choose my name.. I spent way too much on Black Friday Sephora and none for holiday gifts.
Allison says
I just turned 5 months pregnant and realized I really needed maternity pants.
Beauty Bee says
Bedazzled eyebrows remind me of those stick on jewel earrings I would wear as an 8 year old as I didn’t have pierced ears lol! So I think I will pass on them….

flannel shirts are a yes (well, most of the time). i’m a comfy casual kinda gal.
Selina Sander says
I was never into Wearing scarves. I know, that sounds wierd, but I really hated the feeling of a scarf around my neck.
But a few weeks ago I hat to buy one because the one I saw was so pretty. Since then I’m obsessed with scarves.
Liz says
To make my manicure last longer, I apply a good base and top coat! I think they’re both equally important, good ones make even cheapie polishes last a while with minimal wear. I like Essie Grow Stronger, OPI Nail Envy, and Essie Millionails. For top coats there are tons but right now I’m loving Bareille UV Glaze top coat. 🙂
Rasha says
I really wanna buy a black and gold dress!
Black and gold is an amazing combination <3
Telma says
Flannel shirts: a big NO, since it’s summer where I live.
Kim says
The boys had hockey in Lake Placid on Friday and it was snowing and very Christmassy. We even got a bit of holiday shopping done. Sadly, things warmed up here at home yesterday and now it’s just sort of chilly, damp and snow-free. It’s hard for me to get into the holiday spirit when there is no snow. 🙁
Caitlyn says
Bedazzled EYEBROWS?! NOOOOOOOOOO
Bee says
Flannel shirts: helll yeah!!!! I had 3 already and still I bought 2 more this time during thanksgiving shopping….
btw, I’ve stumbled upon a dupe for Nars albatross… 😀 It makes me want to jump 😀
sienna says
Flannel shirts always a yes in winter!
Nicole says
I love Flannel shirts. So cute!
Amanda Sakovitz says
I felt fierce this weekend
Swati says
I needed new thermals for winter!
Benni says
Until I can master my eyebrows more, I would feel that bedazzling them–and therefore drawing even more attention to them–would be a mistake for me. I’m not against others doing so, but it seems more of a celebrity or party thing, and definitely not an everyday thing.
Ruth says
I just realized that I need to buy blue polo shirts. Lame! I am doing my clinical rotations for grad school and they want me to wear polo shirts and black dress pants. I am so sad because my first site was scrubs(work pajamas) and sneakers. I know it sounds like I am being a big baby but if I am to do 40 hours a week of free work I’d like to do it in navy scrubs and asics.
Bridget Heiple Reich says
How I make my manicure last longer? Butter London TopCoat. Love it! 🙂
Alix says
Oddly enough, I realized I need a pair of sweatpants!

Shannon says
Flannel shirts: ALL THE YES. 🙂
elissa says
I am really wanting a pair of scalloped edged flats! So cute!
Camille says
my manicure trick? after cleaning my hands, i let my nails dry for another 10+ minutes (to let the water absorption evaporate from the nails). before i apply my base coat, i wipe down my nails with alcohol.
it seems to make the polish chip less. i haven’t had a manicure last a long long time because i do a lot of house chores without gloves. but i might get on that gel manicure hype, if i want a pretty manicure to last 🙂
Jessica says
Bedazzled statement eyebrows – yes if you are under 25, no for everyone else 🙂
Kristina says
Flannel shirts; in theory yes but I have a hard time with button up shirts in general because I’m busty.
Trude E. says
My favorite hair salon is a local Aveda one. I’ve been using Aveda products for years, never use anything else for styling, and I just love that their staff regularly does training and is always looking to expand their knowledge. Plus it smells SO GOOD! 😉
Laura says
There is nothing wrong with flannel!! I have quite a few of flannel shirts and I LOVE them!
Des says
My favorite hair salon is the one inside JC Penney. They’re always nice and do such a great job! 🙂

No bedazzled brows for me, but it would put a smile on my face to see them on someone else!
Patricia Gomez says
Statement metallic eyebrows, yes!
Timeisha says
I need to make a Sephora run, so I hope I win!
Dorothy says
Hoping to stock up on some Nars nail polishes if I win! Their new formula is sooo long wearing and so shiny. Not to mention they have a new wide brush so streaks are minimized 🙂

I think that the statement brows can be really cool and pretty for the right occasion.
Cecile Angulo says
My fave salon is Azta Urban Salon here in Ph:)
Paulomi says
Flannels are fine as long as the whole ensemble is stylish 🙂

Statement brows? I just mastered using my anastasia brow wiz! Kudos to the ladies that are fierce enough to rock them, though!
Shars says
I could never get my manicures to last more than 3 days and then on one of the other blogs I follow, it was suggested to try the Revlon Color Stay base coat and that has worked wonders for me!
michelle says
Flannel shirts are a must
Alana says
I think bedazzled eyebrows are a little out there, they remind me of eyebrow piercings which I don’t like.
brooklynshoebabe says
I desperately need more maxi length skirts, ankle boots and fleece lined leggings because I hate wearing opaque tights in the winter.
Jamie C. says
I hope you’re a big fan of The Walking Dead because the mid-season finale was intense & tragic.
Ellie says
With the sudden cold I realized I definitely need more sweaters and leggings/tights! It went from 65F (which is nice and cool since it’s usually so hot here), to the 40s-30s in one afternoon.
meghan says
I’ve found that when I’ve used Gelous to help smooth out glitter heavy manis, the manicure wears like IRON. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks for the giveaway Karen!
