Mornin’!
Late mornin’. 🙂
Guess who slept in today…
No, not Tab. He actually got up with El Hub around 6:30, but I stayed in bed till about 9. Now I’m sipping coffee, catching up on Top Chef and trying to figure out what I want to wear on my nails…
I know — exciting stuff, isn’t it? Yup, that’s me. Mrs. Excitement.
No idea what I’m doing today. I’ll probably mostly take it easy. Go for a run on the treadmill when my tummy settles, also a walk around the neighborhood later today. I do need to do some grocery shopping at some point, but that’s about it for me.
It’s weird coming down from the hectic holidays, isn’t it? Things are actually slow again.

I’ve been to New York a handful of times, and I’ve always had a great time when I visited. My sister is thinking about applying for several NYC-area grad schools, and I (selfishly) hopes she goes to one of them so I have an excuse to visit :).
Agata says
Happy weekend Karen! I have been to NY a few times. When I was a student I used to come to the US on a Work&Travel program and I worked in a hotel in a lovely little town of Lake George, NY. That’s how I fell in love with the US! I also spent a few hours in NYC but it was too short and I hope to go back for longer one day.

I have never been to New York (in fact, I’ve never been outside of Canada before). Anything with Ryan Gosling is a good movie to rent of course (wish we still had movie rental stores in Canada, but they have all closed down). I can’t wear perfume as I am severely allergic to all scents/fragrances. Makes it difficult, because I can’t be around others who wear it either, so mostly I stay home.

Sometimes the slow, uneventful days are the best ones though, don’t you think?
Ellie says

Autum says
A good movie to rent is Dangerous Beauty, it’s a great girly movie to watch. Love it!

Kate McAtee says
Thank you for hosting this amazing giveaway! Sephora is definitely a magical place! I do mix foundation colors, from the drugstore, to create a custom shade. Right now I’m using Almay’s TLC Truly Lasting Color in the shade Ivory 120 with a splash of L’Oreal’s True Match Lumi in N1-2, Soft Ivory/Classic Ivory. The L’Oreal foundation is a touch too dark for me and the other is a touch too light. Thanks so much again for hosting! I, like most, am addicted to Sephora. If only my wallet could catch up to my specific taste/style, haha!
Have a great weekend!
Kate :o)

My warmest coat is easily my L.L. Bean one with Thinsulate. I got it 18 years ago the second Winter I lived in Buffalo, NY and it was a lifesaver there. Almost 20 years later and it’s still in great shape even after me wearing it to death 10 Winters in a row and machine washing it tons of times.

Rent Gone With The Wind. Fabulous movie but it’s so long – perfect for watching at home.
hajin says
I love the formula of Estee lauder double wear (bone) but the renewed colors are too dark for me. They look too yellow on my Asian skin. I’ve been mixing with revlon color stay ivory color which has pink undertones so it’s perfect for me and they have similar formula.
Joanne says
Weather is beautiful in the City of Angels!
Melissa says
My favorite current perfume is Chanel Chance. Yesterday I was waiting around for my in-store pickup at Nordstrom’s that went missing so they sent me down to the Chanel counter to grab another one and the counter manager gave me a gift box with some samples of the stuff and the hand lotion and I’m just hooked! I can’t stop smelling it. Mmm. Haha. 😛 I’ve worn Ed Hardy for years now but this stuff… I’m thinking I’m about to switch signature scents now. I am definitely going to pick some up next time I have a chance. (Haha!)
Lynn says
I have mixed foundations, but I usually don’t because I’m lazy. Really should tho because foundations don’t seem to ever match my color. I tried the Sephora IQ thing…but It only gave my one foundation that matches closes to me. that was disappointing.

Sherry says
Hi Karen, it is raining cats and dogs here in Pennsylvania. It’s pretty warm though…a balmy 60 degrees. My current favorite perfume is Jo Malone French Lime Blossom. Believe it or not, I braved the bad weather today, and took a trip out to my favorite mall. I had to go to Sephora, because I needed to get a new mascara. My current one is about 4 months old, and was getting cakey. Thanks for another giveaway!!

Have you seen Family Weekend on Netflix? It’s so good! Think Little Miss Sunshine with more warm fuzzies.

Sylvia says
I’m watching Insidious 2 and while I think it’s not the best choice to watch by myself, it’s also somewhat absurd.
Elizabeth F says
The weather here is pretty warm compared to the past few days
Barbara L says
Today’s been my rest day. Just started my new job last month and it has been quite stressful and challenging. But other than that it’s been good. I’ve been looking on YouTube videos on contouring, which I love. And interested in the Nars’ Ita brush. But realize that it’s sold out everywhere. Hope I’ll find one soon!!
Adrianne B says
My current favorite perfume is L de Lolita Lempicka. It’s discontinued and hard as hell to find, but it smells just like Nag Champa. Love it.

The weather was amazing today!! Over 30!!! It was -25 on Monday! crazzzyyy!

My favorite perfume is LAVANILA vanilla grapefruit. It dries down to a warm vanilla, but the citrus burst is cheerful. Especially here, Seattle is rainy and foggy today.
Aimey says
LOLOL I’m trying to imagine Ryan Gosling actually saying he loves Sephora like that haha
Jessica says
Hello Karen (and Tabs!),
Haha this is my first time entering any sort of giveaway. But regardless of the outcome, it is nice reading all the other comments! My favourite perfume is the Madagascan Vanilla Flower by The Body Shop. I used to wear Beyond Paradise by Estee Lauder but I found that the scent faded too quickly, and vanilla suits my personality a little bit more.
And btw, I enjoy reading all your emails ^^ I like fat cats too! and Tabs definitely has curve appeal. And my favourite ‘advert’ was the Bobbi Brown fur foundation. I don’t befriend cats in real life because my mom is always warning me about fleas and cat bites, but I’m glad you gave Tabs a home. And a name 🙂
Sigh my wi-fi isn’t working properly. If this is a double comment just delete it!
Estefania says
My sister gave me a coat for Christmas and it is the softest, thick material on the outside and has a silk-like quilting on the inside, and has a detachable hood. It is SO comfy and warm! If you are freezing outside, it warms you up in an instant. It’s sooooo comfy 🙂
May says
The weather is surprisingly warm outside today!
Let says
We had thunderstorm earlier today in Seattle 🙁
JAPHIA says
I have never been to NY but I sure would like to live there someday !
Megs says
I mix my foundation when I want a super contour look. I take a shade lighter than I am in the center of my face and blend out to my match shade. Then I blend to a shade one darker than my match on the outside rim of my face.
Jordi says
Thanks for the giveaway!
I have been to NYC dozens of times… the most recent trip was last August. Saw a show, shopped at several Sephoras, walked the High Line and Brooklyn Bridge, had good bagels!

Sonya says
Current favorite perfume, Jimmy Choo!
Tamara says
Today, I was almost side swiped and I literally let out a gasp. I swore that we had hit but he went on his road rage way, while I was left thanking my lucky stars, I was paying attention and had the still small voice telling me to slow down and let him pass. Moments like these make me realize that life is so unexpected and anything can happen on any given second of any day. I would’ve wrote about my favorite perfume, but this experience really made me grateful for my life. 🙂
Anita says
I was looking everywhere for the Nar Holiday collection’s Day dream blush. I have went to several Sephoras and online. They all seemed to be sold out… until today! I went to the mall with my cousin to check out somethings and we stubble into Bloomingdale’s. I generally don’t go in there because it’s so expensive! Guess what? The sweet NARS lady has daydream blush and everything in the collection! Of course I brought the blush despite the fact it’s after the Holidays. 🙂 It’s gonna join it’s sisters, Coeur Battant and Orgasm, in my stash. What a happy day!

I’ve been to New York almost 2 years ago with my best friends. I would love to go again. Today the weather where I live wasn’t very good. It was raining and icy. It was the perfect day for staying inside, baking and watching movies.

Hmmm – New York City ? Yep, just got back from there, in fact. Luv luv luv the city and even managed to hit the Sephora on 34th so the trip was an MBB dream. My “home” Sephora is a tiny shop, so getting to the big Makeup Mecca was like hitting the jackpot for me… !
Angela says
I just rented/watched This is 40 last night. It was pretty good! I love Paul Rudd in movies.
Leya says
Though I’ve never mixed foundation shades together I do mix my foundation with a little moisturizer to save time and also lighten the foundation a tad 🙂
Samareen Yusufi says
I’ve never been to New York. I live in Dubai (UAE) and that’s the first(and probably will be the only)country I’ve been to.
Sometimes when I’m feeling extra creative 😀 I mix foundations or mix BB cream with foundation. Rest of the not-so-creative days I only wear BB cream.
It awesome weather in Dubai. Clouds, winds and occasional rain. Its perfect time to pull out the leather jacket my dad bought for me ages back. Alas! I don’t have it now. So I just wrap myself in a sweater and sprinkle the heavenly Nabeel perfume’s Al Nijud oil perfume all over me and put on Iron Man (I can watch Iron Man anytime):D
P.S. Thanks for this giveaway 😀

Loris Ayoub says
My mom is sick at hospital, had a heart problem, I am miles away and haven’t seeing her in 7 years….so now I am just trying to keep my mind out of it, because I don’t want to cry in front of my kids….
Katrina says
I’m looking forward to a long weekend next weekend and no, I don’t have any plans. I really should just stay at home, catch up on sleep and clean my house. Perhaps it’s time to take down my Christmas tree too!
Bri says
I just got a new perfume for Christmas, philosophy living grace, its great!!! does anyonehave it?

What’s the weather like out there today?
I live in Arizona so it’s currently 63 degrees and sunny.
Carson says
I just discovered your blog and am crazy in LOVE!!! I can’t get off the computer! I’ve never had money to buy nice makeup and really want to try some since none of my friends will let me try theirs. Oh and a good movie to rent was Get Away with Selena Gomez, without her in the movie it would be too guyish but there was just the right amount of Selena(:
Yolanda C. says
I’ve been to NYC twice. The first time was actually 2 weeks before 9/11 and I didn’t get to see the twin towers because I was tired from walking all day. Biggest regret so far.
Joy says
I’ve been to NYC and to other areas of NY state. My sister is back in NYC after a few years in London UK so I’ll probably head there again this year after not being there since 2009.
Tina says
i have been to new york yes! and i loved it.
Ashley H. says
First time commenting on the site, but I visit mostly everyday. It really cool an nice for you to have this contest 🙂
Right now I am still enjoying my fall/winter makeup but I am looking forward to upcoming spring/summer looks. Where I live there will snow until April, so I have a while to stick with these looks.
Alice says
My warmest jacket is not that warm because man Bay Area weather always tricks me and is never as cold as I think it is. Layers….that is the rule.
MARAL says
Such a lazy Sunday! Going to wash my face and put on a mud mask!

I live in NY, about an hour north of the city! I worked there for awhile right out of college.

Teri B says
Wow. Came home from SFB area to the Eastern US last week. I left 65° weather & came home to 6° (below 0° with the windchill) & no electric. Went back to work where I had to train a new employee while catching up my work from vacation. Tomorrow, I have another new person to train. It takes a good 6 months to fully train someone & I have 2 at once. I could really use some Sephora bucks to make me feel special. Love your website. I really like the pic of you at the top, very nice.
Jillybean says

Do you ever mix foundation colors to create a custom shade? – I do, yes! Currently I’m mixing L’Oreal True Match Lumi in W3 Nude Beige with Revlon Colorstay for Oily/Combo in 200 Nude. The Lumi is a bit warm so Colorstay evens it out a bit 🙂
Elaine says
The weather is rainy and gross, but perfect for a lazy Sunday!
Chelsea says
I’m loving Dot by Marc Jacobs. I use it almost everyday, which is rare for me to do with a perfume. I usually switch it up but I’m loving this one too much to change!
Klara says
Well yes Karen, I visited New York just last summer, and it was the best time I ever had. I visited my boyfriend who’s doing a music tour there and surprised him! Hopefully I’ll visit it once more this summer, and ofc visit Sephora my favorite beauty supplier and addiction of mine. I can never get enough lol, especially after I get the mail with the stuff that I order. Happy 2014 dear, hope you have a wonderful year xx Klarisa
Curvy CEO says
I have no business even entering this giveaway (I need NO MORE MAKEUP) – but it’s a $50 Sephora giftcard…can’t pass that up, right?
Love your blog!
Rachel says
The weather in SoCal is a little overcast but still warm.
Lisa C says
You can still rent movies? Haha
Thanks for the giveaway, Karen!
kayla says
Hi Karen! Since you recently been uploading youtube videos on your channel, it’d be a cool idea to have that as an entry to your giveaway (anyone who is subscribed to your channel of course can enter their youtube or gmail name). Because I don’t think a lot of subscribers to your blog are subscribed to your channel or check it out! Just a thought 😉
Teresa Moore says
I have never lived or been to New York. My dream is to one day to attend the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.
Madeline Richmond says
My favorite perfume at the moment is Marc Jacobs Dot. I love the bottle and I have gotten almost daily compliments about how good I smell since I’ve been wearing it. It is fresh and fruity and energetic-like springtime in a bottle.
Laura says
The Heat with Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock!
ling says
i have xams in 2 weeks. its cram time 🙁
Monica says
This isn’t really fun, but it’s important! Anyone who is thinking about having children should be carrier tested! You know, Tay Sachs, Cystic Fibosis, SMA…it could save a life! Counsyl testing is very affordable, as well.
In make up news, I’ve been obsessed with Nars lately. Cruising is my favorite lipstick and Mounia is my favorite blush!
Tiffany says
The revlon lip butters are on sale and so I ended up buying 10! So much for a no buy.

Danielle says
It was warm earlier today – now it’s winter chilly.
Solangel says
My current perfume fave is Lady Gaga’s Fame 🙂
Andie says
I recently started using the Nars Creamy Concealer and it has been AMAZING. I’ve tried other concealers before which have been horrible with cakeyness, so the way it glides on and doesn’t look like I’ve got a mini mask on has been great.
Mallory B says
My bridesmaids took me to NYC for a weekend for my bachelorette party! We went to an 80s prom party (omg, so fun) and went to see a guy we graduated high school with play with his jazz band in the zebra room. Along with a lot of shopping, of course. Actually, that was the first time I ever went into a Sephora (thus starting a lifelong obsession)!
Gina says
I lived in New York City for 4 years for college, it was a LOT of fun, and the people are actually super super nice despite the stereotype. I think that was my greatest surprise; one of my greatest memories was when my mom visited to help me move out for summer, and it happened to be Mother’s Day weekend and random people wished her Happy Mother’s Day, a flower vendor even gave her a bouquet!!! I miss it!
Petunia says
I love going to NYC! Taking the train into the city, going to the museums, the theater, wandering around the streets, SHOPPING, love it all!
Amanda says
I love to watch It’s Complicated!
McKenna Reasor says
I really love nude lipsticks for every day use but bright lipsticks are my fav for when I cheer. 🙂
HapaMama says
Lately, I’ve been loving Tea Rose perfume… reminds me of the 80s!
Emily says
A good movie to rent? If you’re up for a chick-flick (and come on, who isn’t?!) I’d say, Crazy Stupid Love! Plus, you get to see Mr. Ryan Gosling without a shirt on! 😉
McKenna Reasor says
Hey so when I was entering my twitter name in the rafflecopter I hit send before I realized my phone had autocorrected it to something else. And I actually am following @karenmbb with my account @kennabrea. Hope you read this!

New York is on my places to visit; however, we always end up in Hawaii 🙂
Monica
Jennifer says
It was pretty warm today, but I hear it’s getting colder tomorrow. Sadness. I’ve been to New York twice–once with my family and once with my high school’s music department, which was such a fun trip.
Kristina Vieweg says
Your weekend sounds a lot like mine but instead of Top Chef we are watching Sofia the First (over, and over, and over…lol)
Sarah Liz says
It’s so hot here! It’s 35C outside and my best friend is at the tennis, poor girl! Tomorrow (Tuesday) is supposed to be 44C too… I’ll be turning up the A/C.
Michelle says
I was born & raised in NY. Although I no longer live there, I go back to visit family every few years. Hope you had a nice weekend Karen!
Anna says
womp womp.
Nicole Stanford says
What is your absolute most favorite eye shadow palette that you would be lost without?
Jennifer says
I always mix foundation shades to get my perfect shade because I can’t find a foundation that matches me perfectly. I mix Annabelle BB Cream in Light/Medium with Revlon Nearly Naked in Medium Beige.
Vanessa F says
It was pretty windy today but still in the 60s-70s. I am loving SoCal winters right now!
Cezka says
My warmest as well as favorite jacket/sweater would be this long Old Navy pea-coat that’s actually in a dark blue navy color, & it just always makes me look sleek & kinda Sherlock Holmes-y (the BBC one with Benedict Cumberbabe :D). & I’d really love to go to New York someday!!! 🙂
Shyla says
Braved the cold today to get a sample of the MAC Mineralize liquid foundation as recommended in your blog. We have the same skintone, undertone, overtone lol and I love how you work out the neutral, nude lippy in your look. I have stopped looking for the perfect nude, neutral lippy because I always look like I am sick or something. Anyway, the make-up goddess in me has awoken again *whimper*. Thanks for your posts. I love the “Unsung Heroes” post, very helpful. =)
Pansy says
Just saw Silver Linings Playbook and it was really good!
Angela says
Surprisingly warm considering the polar vortex issues earlier this week

I don’t usually mix foundation colors, but maybe I should to get a perfect match!
preetha says
Loved the weather today.
Ashleigh says
Uh oh, I can tell I have hefty competition for this sephora gift card. 😉
What’s a good movie to rent? I like movies both the man and myself will enjoy, that make you think and give good discussion during and after the film. Like memento, inception, pulp fiction come to mind.
Current favorite perfume? Tocca- Stella. I want more but currently wearing Stella 24/7 because I splurged on it recently and it smells divine.
Jen Lynch says
We’ve got nothing but wind and rain here in the greater Seattle area…
Rebecca says
Aloha and Happy New Year
Katie F says
I went to New York for the first time a few years ago. It was a lot of fun, but I think I’d rather go back to California after grad school. It’s just in my blood. 🙂
Dunno if I have one favorite, but I really like Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab! They have soooo many different scents, and I like the really unusual ones. Also, they’re oils and not sprays, so they don’t bug my asthma and it’s easier to control how much you put on.
Cica says
My current favorite perfume is Gucci Rush
Caroline says
soup really hits the spot during the winter 🙂
Valentina says
My current favorite perfume is La Petite Robe Noire by Guerlain
Leelee says
Well we are in the middle of a scorching summer here in Australia – about to hit record temperatures over the next few days, perfect time to stay indoors watching YouTube and reading my fave blogs :0)

Bcteagirl says
I have never been too new york, but that sounds like fun. I have yet to mix foundations, but I may do so in the future. My warmest jacket is an extremely long extermely heavy leather jacket with fake fur on the inside and a hood.
Andrea says
Justin Timberlake has been frequenting my sleep dreams for the past week… JT, you are now my dream date.

Kim says
I’m highly recommending watching old Magnum P.I. eps on Netflix. They are so silly and fun and they’re set in beautiful Hawaii so what’s not to love? 🙂 The boys picked Percy Jackson 2 to rent on Demand this weekend and I can’t even explain how awful it was. Nathan Fillion plays Hermes and it was STILL barely a 1 star. Did you catch True Detective on HBO last night? I liked it.
Kat says
My fiance is from New York, so I have been there quite a few times now. I absolutely love it! We always try to catch a Broadway show when we visit 🙂

Amanda says
My current fave perfume is TokyoMilk Dark Bulletproof – it’s so great!
Trude says
We’ve got the Santa Ana winds again here in SoCal, so it’s supposed to be warm, dry and in the 70s. What a rough life. 🙂
Megan says
I’ve been to New York twice. I loved visiting but I don’t think I would like living there!
Stefanee says
I’ve been reading your blog ever since I came in here to see your review on Nars tinted moisturizer. Nars tinted moisturizer is my go to morning make up for taking the kids to school. Thanks to you I found the right shade without having to haul 4 kids to the mall.
Casey says
We are spoiled weather-wise- it’s about 70 degrees outside 🙂
Lydia says
its not’ a movie, but the last thing I watch on Netflix was a mini series called “Top of the Lake.” The actress in it won a Golden Globe last night. It’s absolutely wonderful. I watched the whole thing in 2 days because it sucked me in.
Fran says
I’ve had my MAC Masterclass brushes for over a week now, and I think they are *awesome*! Honestly, they can do things other brushes don’t even *think* about doing. The skinny one fills in my eyebrows in about 2 seconds flat — even if I just swiped on some brow gel on my way out the door in the morning, I can go back hours later and fill them in in seconds with this little tool. Ever look at your makeup a few hours after application and wonder how it’s ever going to make it through the evening? Near-empty patches in some spots and pools collecting in fine lines? Somehow one cheek ended up with too much blush? Just pull out the small oval for under the eyes and tiny creases, the larger oval for cheeks, chin, forehead, and with a few gentle swipes — presto! Magic! Evenness has returned! And they wipe clean lickety-split. Honestly, the only thing that would improve them is if they came with little carrying cases for tossing them into your bag.

Sondra (Soni) Christensen says
I ALWAYS mix 2 foundation shades pretty much every day. (and usually 2 different foundations to boot) My skin is so weird in color that I find it’s much better to mix my own.
Lorraine says
I visited NY once when I was 13. I will never forget it!
Genny says
A good movie to rent is BlackFish!
Majick says
I could have worn my leather jacket, it’s around 50 in NJ today. Give us a minute… wha? frostbite? uh huh. We just came out of a deep freeze – crazy @$$ weather.
I have about 4 or 5 different cc/bb/foundations going at the same time. I mix the colors between seasons and sometimes I need one with more moisture or a different finish.
Kaprice says
Happy Monday! It’s muggy and hot where I am today! I guess it could be worse right!

my sis-in-law lives in upstate new york, so we’ve seen some beautiful changing of the leaves and countryside. very nice place. 🙂
Lauren says
My daily perfume is Coach. I wandered into sephora to look at the nail polishes with my boyfriend reluctantly following. We stood in front of the wall of perfumes and I grumbled something about too many choices and how picky I am that I’ll never find the perfect scent. He grabbed this one and for me it was love at first sniff. I love the bright floral scent.
Jasmine P says
Today it got a little warmer out, which means all the snow is turning into slush! YUCK!

Jamie C. says
I hope you enjoyed the Gloden Globe red carpet fashion and make up because I totally enjoyed it.
Feng Yuling says
Have you ever been to New York?
No. I’ll be going to Houston then Yellowstone National Park on 27 Jan.
Do you ever mix foundation colors to create a custom shade?
No. I find it quite a hassel, and so far I’ve been able to find a shade that match my skin tone.
What’s the weather like out there today?
As usual, hot, sunny & humid tropical weather 🙂
Current favorite perfume?
Annick Goutal Le Chèvrefeuille
Jennifer M-K says
Pure Poison by Dior has been my go-to perfume since college but I have been experimenting lately to see what else is out there. As for NY…I’ve lived here my whole life an hour North of the city. It’s close enough to visit but far enough from the traffic jams. I’d rather take public transportation to, from, and around the city than try to drive and find parking in Manhattan. I went to college in Queens so it was easier to go into the city whenever I wanted than it is to commute from where I am now but its still doable as long as I give myself enough time. It’s only an hour on paper..maybe less…but that’s with no traffic and driving myself. I give myself at least 2 hours if I’m going anywhere near rush hour and maybe more if I’m taking the bus in but its doable if I plan ahead 🙂
Rozae says
Never been to New York, would love to go, just wish it wasn’t so expensive.
Tiffany says
I’ve never been to NY but I would LOVE to! It is certainly on my bucket list and something I hope to do in the next year or two! Hello shopping, walking, and live shows!
Anabel says
My favorite fragrance is definitely Marc Jacobs Daisy eau so fresh sunshine. It makes me sad that they don’t sell it anymore 🙁
Mia says
