Hey, boo! Good morning. How are you? How’s everything out there?
“Out there…” Sounds like I’m talking to an astronaut. 🙂
I hope you had a good week. I hope you experienced something new, got some nice weather, and had someone pay you a compliment, because that always feels good.
If not, then let’s do it now: “You’re sweet and kind and creative and have impeccably good taste, and I love you.”
Looks like the sun came out here this morning. It’s not as overcast as it was yesterday.
We actualy got more rain this week, which is starting to approach unusual weather territory, because here in this part of Northern California our last real rains of the season usually happen right around early April…
Most of the time. If I’m remembering correctly.
I don’t mind though. It makes my allergies a little worse, but it’s better for Mother Nature overall.
Keeps the flowers around and everything green longer.
Do you have any plans this weekend? All I really have is my dad’s bday dinner in the East Bay tonight and maybe a breakfast sammy and coffee at Panera Bread with El Hub in a few. Beyond that, I’m just sort of wingin’ it.
Best of luck in this week’s giveaway. I wish — WISH! — I was able to hold a giveaway where every single person could win. That would be a dream come true. I actually fantasize a lot about what kinds of things I could do for us here on the blog if I ever won the lottery. One of the ideas is to take a group of 10 readers off to Paris for an all-expenses-paid two-week adventure (because one week wouldn’t be enough). We could visit Chanel headquarters and spend one entire day in the Louvre.
Le sigh…
Have a great day today, babe. My tummy is rumbly, so I’ll talk to you soon. Panera is calling my name! 🙂

My mom and I had this tradition of doing a ‘breakfast with bubbly’ every now and then together in the city, and now that I live abroad I really miss that. So I don’t necessarily have a favorite breakfast place, but definitely a favorite breakfast tradition.

My favorite breakfast place of all time is The Original Pancake House…they have the most amazing Swedish pancakes, with the most deliciously crisp edges! I could eat them every day!
Diane says
Cats are family. We spent Easter at the kitty-cat hospital because our boy had to have kidney stones removed. Not cheap, but he is worth every penny. He has one more week before his staples get removed (and the cone of shame!) and 10 more days of antibiotics. Our girl keeps vigil near his room wondering why baby brother can’t come out to play. We are all anxious to have him back to full health and can’t wait until he is all better. I am thankful we had access to a 24/7 animal hospital that has round-the-clock care for its patients-just like a human hospital. I’m so grateful for fellow animal lovers that care so deeply and come in no matter what day or holiday it is.
Berry says
I just did my nails an hour ago, so I have the bottle handy. It’s Deborah Lippman’s “No More Drama”.
Deborah says
I reaaally want to try NARS Sheer Glow foundation – I swatched ’em in Sephora a few weeks ago, and thought Gobi was the perfect match on my wrist, but I think Fiji is better for me (I’m NC15-20 and tan easily) for the summer?? Ahh!
Lauren E. says
My cat is the sweetest and yet most energetic thing ever. Shes like a cross between a ferret, a cat, and a monkey

Kate G. says
I’ve been cleaning and gardening a lot lately so my nails are so, so sad, but I’m wearing Urban Decay’s Chanel Graphite dupe, the name of which totally escapes me. Because despite owning Graphite, the better UD formula demanded my $$. Makeup junkies ‘r’ us.
Doreena says
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I’m spending mine studying for a horrible math test on Monday! What was I thinking going to Pharmacy Tech school at my age??? LOL

Mariah says
I offically have a beauty addiction. I just made 3 different orders to Sephora and MAC over the weekend. There may be a fourth by the end of the day.
I am envious of your Too Faced “The Little Black Book of Bronzers.” I love their Chocolate Soleil Bronzers. The “book” does look a little hard to store however.
When I say “cats are” you say ________. Magnificent. Brownie points to win the gift card?
Anyways…… Have a great rest of your weekend!

Stephanie says
Thank you for posting Too Faced’s bronzer story. I had no idea and now I will definitely make a point of buying Too Faced bronzer.
My crazy female tortie cat is sitting on my lap, she’s a big fan of makeup. Her markings make it look like she’s wearing eyeshadow and eyeliner. (She told me she wants to change her look)

Lisa M. says
I am trying my hand at dehydrating tomatoes today. Looks easy enough, so hopefully they turn out. On my nails, I have the shade “Grin and Bare it”.

Well, thank you for the kind thoughts!
Thinking of the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe and Rue Cler etc is certainly preferable to thinking about work next week!

Belen says
hey! I don’t want to go the gym tomorrow :S lol
Liz says
This April has been pretty awesome so far. The two best parts? First (both chronologically and in importance), adopting Maria, who is about 5 and had been at the shelter for almost a year after arriving with her kittens and watching them all get adopted while she sat and waited (and waited and waited). She is still hiding most of the time, but she is getting less timid every week. The second thing was finally getting the motorcycle I’ve wanted for months, a Honda Rebel. It’s a small bike, but the short seat height means I feel stable at a stop, even with my short little legs. Vroom vroom!~
Ann says
I have just a clear treatment on my nails.
Veronica v says
I am not wearing anything on my nails because I need to go get a mani/pedi!

Sanam Rodrigues says
Hi Karen,
You are really an inspiration to me. You make us women feel’not so guilty’ that we have to take care of ourselves first. As a mum of two toddlers, I’ve not given thought to myself in some time.
You’re always positive and full of this ‘happy-pixie-fairy dust’ karma. I love it, and also its ONLY cos of u I wore ‘Lady Danger’ and MAN did I feel unstoppable!

i hope you see this because you will appreciate it, karen-
i went to the grocery store to buy cat food. i was staring long and hard at all of the different varieties of fancy feast, which is our cat’s favorite brand. she prefers food with extra gravy and little chunks- no pate for her. she also likes the fish flavors above the other ones. anyone who doesn’t have a cat will think this sounds crazy.
next to me is a woman, also staring at and comparing the different foods. ‘picky cat?’ i asked. she rolled her eyes and said ‘its amazing what i go through for this cat.’
Michaela says
My favorite place to eat is at Panera, too! I love their breakfast sandwiches as well as their sweet muffins. They offer a wider selection of savory and sweet menu items than Starbucks does.

Ooo, I just painted my nails with 2 coats of Padma from Julep followed by a thin coat of Estelle from Julep.

April is very special to me because my Daddy who turned 84, my brother, and my beautiful daughter all have birthdays in this month. I am a huge fan of rosé beige lipsticks, lip glosses and nail polish. My kids tease me about it all the time. Mac lipglass in spite and Sephora number 41 and 0153b (r21) are my fave lipsticks in the Sephora brand. 😉

Just wondering, just in case any of you girls can help me. I ordered a Nars palette limited ed killing me softly cheek palette. It was indicated that it is shipped and sold by Amazon. I ordered just one set for $49, and 3 sets came in. I don’t know but it looks fake to me, for some reason. Are the nars products on amazon ( the ones shipped and sold by amazon) authentic? Do they have an official store on amazon? Thank you for those who can answer my question!

Debi says
My favorite breakfast place is here in my small town, and called The Country Kitchen. It is always crowded and still run by the same ladies who opened it a million years ago, and the same waitresses for the most part. You can’t beat their bisquits!

There’s a wild cat running around outside.

The highlight of my April so far is finally getting around to really organizing my vanity room. I have gotten an organization that I am satisfied with. It took forever or doing it over and over but I love it.
Wayne says
It was actually warm today, I heard a rumor it was Spring.
Isabel V says
As far as breakfast places go, I’m always down for a place that has delightfully crispy waffles or kickin’ omelets. I love breakfast (although I’m not much of a morning person), so I’m not terribly picky. This weekend I ventured into SF with some friends! We ate some cheesesteaks, watched one of our buddies fly a kite (shaped like the orneriest wizard you’ve ever seen), and had a grand old time.
Amber Johnson says
I get hand me downs from my mom occasionally but she works at Banana Republic so I also get to partake of her 50% discount too! 😉

Do you own any clothes handed down from your grandma or mom? This question made me laugh. My grandma gave me these tshirts years ago that I just wear around the house. It seems like every time I Skype with my sister she says, “Are you wearing one of Baba’s shirts???”

My new favorite place to have breakfast is Tubby’s in Rohnert Park – a little north of your home town of Novato (i’m sure you’ve heard of it) – but if you are ever in my neck of the woods at breakfast time its totally worth a stop! French toast is out of this world but I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on the menu!! 🙂
