It’s a beautiful day out Novato way! The sun is shining, and I don’t see a cloud in the sky. Does this mean I’ll be doing something outdoors today? Time will tell…
I hope you did something fun last night. We did end up seeing that movie, A Most Violent Year, and boy! — it makes New York look pretty rough in the ’70s and ’80s. Good movie. Jessica Chastain rocks.
In other news, are you ready for the Super Bowl tomorrow?? El Hub is handling our meal plan, which he’s EXTREMELY excited about, involving something he calls “a burger dog.”
I don’t know if anyone else calls them that, but it’s basically — and his eyes light up when he describes it — a hamburger in the shape of a hot dog, served on a hot dog bun.
I’m like, OK…but mine will be a veggie burger dog. 🙂 And we’ll have it with potato salad and chips.
Super Bowl! Katy Perry is doing the halftime show (along with Missy Elliott!), so that should be fun. Your nephew cat is also excited. From what I understand, he’s rooting for the Mill Valley Wildcats… Stay tuned for his pre-game analysis tomorrow.
Good luck in the giveaway, and have a great weekend. Do something fun.

Can you do a post on different concealers? I would love to hear what you think. Thanks!
Jules says
I shall be working during the Superbowl! (Not that I ever really watch it anyways – I’m more of a dance/gymnastics/hockey girl.)
On average it takes me… 5-10 minutes to do my makeup, unless I’m in a mood and want to try something a little more experimental. Hopefully I’ll be trying out the new NARS spring collection on myself today – wish me luck!
Agata says
This gift card would come in so handy… 😉
I am not even sure who to root for tomorrow since I am not a football fan (unless it’s Detroit Lions) but I am going over my in-laws to watch the game. I mostly care about the commercials and food, lol. Did I tell you me and my husband went vegetarian for a week? I actually really enjoyed it.
Tiffanie says
Family pictures today! So excited!
Alix says
Sunrises. I take my walks before work in the morning, and it’s so cool to watch the sky lighten up with shades of pink and lilac…
Not a football fan, but as a New England girl, I hope the Pats win. Hope I do, too!
Mandy says

Laurinha says

Berry says
Love sunrises. I don’t really like getting up early in the morning, but if I’m up for work anyway I might as well enjoy the view of the day beginning.
Kiss & Make-up says
I think I spend about 20 to 25 minutes on my make-up on a week day. Happy Saturday, Karen!

Brandi McAtee says
Hi Karen! Happy Saturday! I’m totally excited about the game tomorrow too, but I will be watching with my dog, cat, and kitten, so nothing special on the menu. Hubby is working out of town, but will be home Mon night YAY :). He was actually in Scottsdale/Phoenix setting up for his vendor at the Super Bowl last week! But he is working a festival in Idaho this weekend and not working the game, bummer. I will stop babbling now, “comment about anything” directions are bad for me lol. Thank you the giveaway love! 🙂

Mary says
I love fruits. I take 15mins on average to put on my makeup during the week.
Lee-Ann says
I don’t have a lot of time to do full-on makeup during the week, but I do always go with the basics – eyeliner, mascara, powder, and something for the lip. Wish I had all the time that I used to, but with a house full of people and animals, and a full-time job that starts at 7 am..it’s tough to find the time!
Lulubelle says
Gorgeous day here in Mobile, AL as well! Am I out in it…..no…..

Rosie says
Sorry. Couldn’t figure out that widget process. Anyway. Best blanket? How about all the blankets. Dealing with -12 degrees with wind chill in upstate NY, people! That is cold. More time to train my little doggie (sorry again about not having a cat) to make hot chocolate so I don’t have to get out from under all the blankets. Lol. Everyone have a great and warmer weekend.

CeeJai says
Happy Saturday everyone! When I’m going somewhere, like work, it takes me 15-20, maybe to do my make-up. Maybe I should actually time myself one day. And I have a Awesome pair of black dress pants I like wearing, otherwise leggings have been comfy. And years ago, I found a beautiful quit, throw at an Antique shop. It doesn’t look like it would be warm, but it is.

The NAP blanket is simply the best blankie in the world.

Happy weekend!
Krystle Thomas says
I usually take 15 or so minutes to do my makeup
Casey Hilgenbrink says
It usually takes me about an hour to do my makeup – yikes! But that’s because I’m legally blind without my glasses (I can’t wear contacts) so my eye makeup is always really slow going.
Jessie says
I may have to give that burger dog idea a try!
Abby says
I’d say it only takes about 5-10min. to do my makeup during the week. Yes, I have a fireplace. I love veggies, but I definitely have to say I love fruits even more!!! Sunsets all the way, I’m not much of a morning person to be able to enjoy a sunrise :p. My favorite pants that aren’t jeans are my lululemon yoga pants!! Sooo comfy!!
Miki says
1. I assume you mean, during the work week, how long each day … about 40 minutes. 30 minutes if I’m hurried.
2. My recent purchase from Costco, it’s so comfy! It’s furry on one side, and that uber soft material on the other.
3. Nope. One day I will have a fireplace!
4. I love both. If I had to choose, it would be vegetables, as they are healthier, and have little sugar. But fruits are obviously tastier 😉
5. Sunsets! I’m never up for sunrise! LOL
6. I wear Gap or Old Navy work out slacks/leggings. My fave! Jeans are very casual for me, I wear them only on the odd occasion.
y. says
Sunsets! Abt 10-15 min in the morning

Hey Karen! Thanks for the giveaway! I guess when i’m actually taking my time to do my makeup i would take about 10 minutes? Half the time i’m doing my eyebrows lol 😀 My Eyebrows always have to look presentable. However if i’m in a rush i could probably pull off doing everything in about 5-7 minutes. Thanks again and have an awesome day! 🙂
Chrissy says

Kirsten says

Tania says
Please disregard my previous post. I love sunsets, because I’m nocturnal and not very lovely so early in the morning.
Nisha says
I love sweat pants!!!!!!
Amber says
Sunrises and sunsets, in the same day! So pretty.
Lori P says
On an average it takes me about 15 minutes doing the week and a little bit longer on the weekend because I play with it more.
Jen L says
Hi!
I love my summer weight silk duvet but stopped using it bc of the cats and furballs (seriously, it has to be dry cleaned every time).
My make up routine is fast, lots of products, but fast. I am up and out the door to work with coffee & breakfast in about 25 minutes most days. I plan ahead and get everything ready 😉 I hate mornings.
That being said, sunrise is about during my commute this time of year and is pink and orange against the snow, so I love it more in winter – especially when there is hoar frost on the trees. Nature’s way of making us stay here I guess.
Hilda says
Hi Karen!
I’d definitely choose fruits over veggies any day! Especially when it comes to raspberries and strawberries.
Elaine says
When I’m not in jeans I’m definitely lounging in my Zella live-in capris!
Jessica says
On average, how long does it take you to do your makeup during the week? 20-30min. Longer if I am experimenting or doing something special.
Do you have a fireplace or wood stove at home? fireplace with an iron stove added to it
Fruit or vegetables? Fruit. Veggies are gross! haha
Sunrises or sunsets? Sunset cause I’d never want to be awake for a sunrise.
Your favorite pair of pants that aren’t jeans? VS yoga pants. Not to wear outside the house though!
Tania G says
I love both fruit and vegetables equally and my day feels incompletely if I don’t have a variety of those through the day 🙂 How about you?
monica says
It takes me about 30 mins a day to put on skincare and makeup in the morning so 350 mins total. I live in the tropics, no fireplace or woodstove in our house and I don’t feel attached to any blanket because they’re sort of just there. I’m not a fan of both fruits and vegetables, but I force myself to eat them everyday. Sunrises are better because they’re the start of a brand new day! I hate all kinds of pants. I’m all about the skirts and dresses.
rena devora says
Hm…. if I’m going out and want to do something fancy it can take me up to 25 minutes to put my makeup on!!! If it’s just school or work, I can get away with 5 minutes for a super quick and easy bb cream, single shade eyeshadow, and lip gloss
Holly says
It only takes me between 5 to 7 minutes to do my makeup on a daily basis; I moisturize as soon as I step out of the shower & then smooth on some BB, do my eyes then my powders & brush on my mascara very last thing. It’s a trick I learned when doing makeup for actors so that the mascara stays nice & black. On days when I use liquid eyeliner rather a pencil, it does take me a little longer!
CatG says
Isn’t it funny how some days your makeup just turns out great? Why can’t it be like that every day!?!
Eri says
Sunrises and sunsets are both beautiful! Although I rarely wake up early enough to watch a sunrise :/
Icequeen81 says
On average, how long does it take you to do your makeup during the week?

Fruit or vegetables?
both
Sunrises or sunsets?
both
Your favorite pair of pants that aren’t jeans?
My black pants I have it sinds 2003 love them
Joanne says
Fruits but veggies are more nutritious. Sunrises are refreshing but sunsets are captivating.We don’t have a fireplace but we had stoves before I could say somehow similar to a wood stove or a mini version of it. I’m from a tropical region, island to be exact although there are parts of the Philippines that have cold temperature particularly up north. Baguio,the country’s summer capital, has fireplaces.
Blanca says
It takes me 15min to do my makeup…Much more than it should!! 🙂
Jeanetta says
Looking forward to seeing Missy Elliott tomorrow!

Kimberly Camille Tiu says
Definitely fruits. Not a big fan of veggies

Estefania says
I like to answer all of these! 🙂
On average, how long does it take you to do your makeup during the week?
Anywhere from forty minutes (if I rush) and an hour and a half (if I take my time)
Best blanket? My boyfriend’s mother gave me this pink fluffy blanket for my birthday, and while Phoebe has taken control of it, I love it because it’s warm and cozy.
Do you have a fireplace or wood stove at home?
We have a fireplace, but it’s gas…
Fruit or vegetables?
Veggies. I t’s a lot harder for me to get into eating fruit.
Sunrises or sunsets?
Sunrises. When I can actually get up for them, I mean! Ha 😀
Your favorite pair of pants that aren’t jeans?
Can I say my carrot onesie? My boyfriend gave it to me for our three year anniversary (we’re adults, obvi), and it’s so dang comfy.
Maren says
Got a fuzzy blanket one of my cats is very into.

On a good day, maybe 15 but if I curl my hair a full 30!
Mardi says
It probably takes 20 – 30 minutes on a work day!
Felis says
My best blanket is the down comforter I got when I moved from Florida to Boston. Oh my god, that thing is SO AMAZING.
Hilary says
Sunsets, because it’s hard to justify wine at sunrise:)
Keith says
sunset. only because I never can wake up early enough for a sunrise.

Sunrise is my absolute favorite time of day. When I lived on the east coast I would wake up early just to go watch the sunrise over the ocean.
Astra says
I love sunsets 🙂
mrsshukra says
Watching Le Chef on DVD, nice!
MelodyJ says
I like both fruits and veggies. I also like both sunrises and sunsets. Why choose when you can have it all!
Kassandra Utzinger says
I love sunsets but there is something extra special about sunrise… maybe its the fact I have to be awake to see it!
Melissa Vaught says
It depends on the occasion or how much time I have to spend to put on my makeup. On just an average day, I’d say about 20 minutes or so. That’s just quick foundation, lite touch-up concealer, powder, quick eyeshadow, liner and mascara. If I have extra time or wanna look extra hot for my honey, it takes about 45 minutes to an hour! That includes contouring, blush & bronzer, smokey eyes, lashes, highlighting, the whole works! I always get compliments when I put in the extra work though. People look at me and can’t figure out quite what is different lol. I just don’t have the patience to do it everyday, nor do I think it’s necessary since I’m a stay at home mom.
Milana says
Definitely sunsets! The colours are always so amazing.
Aenea says
Sunrises are too early here. Sometimes, it seems like 2pm at 4 in the morning!
Melissa says
I’m happy to say no football for me. I’ve never been big on the sport, and luckily neither is my husband.
Isabella says
Fruit! And technically you could count tomato, avocado, cucumber, etc. as fruit as well 😉

Fruit or vegetables? Tough choice veg tomatoes

I live in Norway so we have 2 woodstoves at home. And at our cabin, were we live 4 months in the summer, we have a fireplace.

We dont have electricity at our cabin so we only use candels to light up the Place. Its so underrated!

Freya says
When I have ample time or if I have plans to go somewhere special I like to take my time doing my makeup so I can get it perfect. During the week when I’m running around & too busy to get all fancy I opt for BB cream, under eye concealer, blush, bronzer, brows (they’re thick but shaped very nicely so I fill them in lightly or just use a tinted brow gel), lipstick/lip gloss & mascara.

Best blanket – my tiger blanket. Well, it was my hubby’s before I hijacked it – he got it when he was stationed in Korea before we got together, but he never uses it. It’s SO heavy.. It’s huge, made of really soft material.. probably about 5 lbs. in weight I’d guess, and I sleep with it every night! He’s always hot and I’m always cold so we don’t sleep under the same blanket haha. Weird, I know.
Kristen says
I especially love summer fruits….peaches…apricots…plums…strawberries…watermelon…YUM!
