Rise and shine, pal o’ mine. Happy caturday. 🙂 Right now I’m watching a small bird hop up and down on a branch on the old oak tree outside my window and listening to it chirp. It sounds like she’s saying, “Hey, everyone! This branch here is the best! You gotta check it out!”
This week sure went by fast… I can’t believe it’s already Saturday. I hope you did something fun last night. I made a kick-@ss TJ’s frozen veggie pizza (added some extra artichoke hearts, tomatoes and broccoli) and rented a Liam Neeson movie (A Walk Among the Tombstones; wasn’t bad).
Now I’m gonna hop on the treadmill, and then? I don’t know what we’ll do today. Maybe drive into the city because it’s supposed to be pretty warm. There’s an awesome crab place at Pier 39 I’ve been thinking/dreaming about.
Good luck in the giveaway. Talk to you soon.

Reading William Gibson’s latest book, The Peripheral and starting to get into it. I’ve always really loved the style and ideas of his cyberpunk novels but the characters left something to be desired. Feel like the character aspect is getting better and better with his later books!

Danii says
Prettiest perfume bottle? Well.. I can name a few 😉 Thierry Mulger’s Alien bottle looks pretty alien and awesome (the bottle contents are awesome too). In terms of weird-pretty, Lady Gaga’s FAME. The golden claw is striking and the black perfume only adds to that striking look. The one that I love the most, of all pretty perfume bottles, is Illamasqua’s Freak. It’s a simple bottle, but I have this thing for angles and sleek, modern edges. The little snail is also cute lol! I have very broad taste in perfume clearly. 😛
Sherry says
On my nightstand, I have a couple of books, including the Bible and Princess Diana’s biography. I also have a tube of Amlactin Ultra body cream and a picture of my daughter when she was seven months old. Now she’s 21 and I’m getting old!! Thanks for another Sephora giveaway!!

The coolest thing? I started working with watercolor pencils again. Today someone said they liked my purple hat and scarf. The recognized that it was handmade. It made me really happy that someone liked something I made.
I find it intresting that people rarely iron clothes now. I think it’s partly because of the fabrics, machine drying and more casual dress codes(both personal and professional).

Tracy Robertson says
I love the way you have the smudged, green liner under your eyes in the first picture. I usually avoid liner under my eyes because it smudges too much and looks awful when it’s black! So I go bare under the eyes, but I’ve been looking for a way to do my under-eyes and make it look good. I am going to try your look out with my green liner.
Kelly Kimmell says
I think that the Jill Stuart Night Jewel perfume bottle is gorgeous.

Yay! Thank you for such a nice giveaway! I’m going to answer your first suggestion.
When I close my eyes, I hear the humming of my computer and my three doggies snoring.

Stephanie Harris says
I had a crazy, weird week. I am a high school teacher, so last week was the end of the semester. I love how so many students wait until the day of finals to ask how to improve their grades 🙂 Oh well, I helped as much as I was able to. Now on to a new semester.

This week I finally put a verbal cue on my puppy’s ” Jazz Hands!” behavior (so stinkin’ cute!) and socked away a bit more $ into my “just in case” emergency fund. So I achieved a good balance between the silly and the responsible 🙂
Jen says
I’m listening to the podcast “Serial, Episode 07: The Opposite of the Prosecution”. I can also hear my kids messing around in their room and my husband talking into his headset to some guys in Spain that he is playing “Destiny” with on the PS4. All I smell is the “Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil” that I’m currently using (smells so gooood). 🙂

As I sit here reading my newfound MandB blog, I’m enjoying my hot coffee and savoring my warm almond croissant. Yumm… I close my eyes and hear “Draw Me Close” worship song from my speakers. How much more bliss can a woman have on a beautiful Sunday morning! These little special solitary moments are what it’s all about….
Reem says
What’s on my nightstand? A Gone Girl book (which i kind of have mixed feelings about) and my Laura Mercier hand cream which smells divine.

Happy Sunday! the best french fries I’ve ever had were from a place called Dukes in the outer suburabs of Chicago. for around 3 bucks you would get about a pound of fries and they are even more amazing dip in their red sauce.

when is close my eyes I hear my puppy drinking water and my husband talk to her in a low sweet voice.
Kimkats says
Watched A Walk Aming the Tombstones a week or so ago…. Liam Neeson has somehow transformed his acting skills to playing the same old character over and over… Kinda like a more talented Sylvester Stallone… Not a bad movie, but really no different than what he’s done his last several movies. I miss the guy who could actually act.

There’s this poem that I’m really into right now, it’s called “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas. If you have time, please check it out. It’s really powerful in an indescribable way, and it gives me the chills every time I read it. I’m still trying to dissect it into something comprehendible by my human brain.
Sandy says
I went to Paint Nite with my daughters last night! I was nervous about painting on canvas but our paintings all turned out really well and we had a fun time together. Now we want to do it again! Thanks for the lovely giveaway.

I never ever iron my clothes. Sometimes I shake my clothes vigorously but that is more to get rid of cat hair than wrinkles.

I hardly ever iron my clothes, only if it’s really needed or an occasion. I don’t think I could choose just one perfume, but I especially like the marc jacobs bottles.
Anne O'Connell says
The coolest thing I did this week was was taking my daughter to a cat rescue center and petting all 70 (oh my!!) of the kitties there waiting to be adopted. We were so overwhelmed we couldn’t decide who to adopt. Not that going back to pet all those amazing cats again is going to be a hardship….

Coolest thing I did this week??? Blow up an air mattress in my living room for a temporary sofa because while I was away for Christmas, the apartment above me had a radiator burst which made my living room ceiling rain. Kinda makes me feel young again, like I’m back in college.
Joan B. in S. C. says
Ironing my clothes? Is that what that thing is? I’ve had it since grad school (gift from my uncle) and don’t need a doorstop, so maybe I’ll pass it on. Next you’ll tell me it goes with that short surfboard in the laundry room I keep walking into.
Danielle says
This week I got to catch up with a girlfriend that I hardly ever see! It turned into a big night! West African food for dinner, Mexican restaurant for drinks and dessert, followed by a late night chocolate run and watching Bridesmaids until it was too late to be anything but a sleepover. It made me feel like I was in highschool again!
Lynda says
i just had a baby a week ago!

Girl, you need to do a post about good lip treatments that are serious remedies for peeling, dried lips. I am in NEED mama. My derm says exfoliation is not good for flakies on your lips. Mine need healing! If I were to ever get the funds to shop at Sephora, I would probably want to get some $30 balm like the Clinique one that’s supposed to be a really good treatment.
Racquelle says
The best thing I did this weekend had to be seeing my niece. On Friday, my brother and sister-in-law brought her over to my house and I pretty much had her the whole night while they were visiting with family. She’s two months and is starting to coo and laugh a little bit so she was talking away with me. Then when it got to be around bed time, we stayed in the bedroom and she was just staring at me. Then on Saturday, I helped babysit her with my grandparents so they could go out and have their real first date since she was born. She’s such a good baby. She has a fussy time but that’s really the only time she cried. She fell asleep on me a few times and when it was time for bed she was out within a few minutes of me rocking her. Definitely best weekend in a while.
Cassie Constantineau says
I appreciate the contest. Closing my eyes I smell the blueberry pancakes cooking for lunch.

I never iron anymore! I got a small steamer for anything stubborn, but I just make sure to buy wrinkle-free button-downs for work, or blends that are machine wash. 🙂
Jordi says
Iron? Hmm. Does using a wrinkle releaser count? I’d say I pull out the iron about once a quarter!
kiwikiwidragon says
I steam most of my clothing, I only iron for the hard core wrinkles in cotton sheeting fabrics. I have a few, and I mean a few, dry clean only items. No starch, please.
