When the first words you say to someone in the morning are, “I think I want a Siberian Forest Cat,” it’s hard not to laugh! 🙂
Rise and shine, pal o’ mine. Guess who didn’t watch Gone Girl last night. (Did you go? Was it good?)
The timing just didn’t work out… I wanted to go to bed early instead to power up for my 10-mile run today, but then I went and got insomnia and barely slept at all last night. I just lay awake in bed looking at cat pics on my phone…
Gotta love it when things work out, haha. I’m going to need a little more coffee than usual today…
In other news, it’s giveaway time!!! Siberian Forest Cat wishes you good luck.

Carolyn N. says
I developed food allergies to nuts and seafood. I was so sad I had to give up some of my favorite foods!
Agata says
Hi Karen, sorry about your insomnia! Hope your run goes well anyways. I injured my heel and won’t be able to run or do zumba for a while and I am heartbroken 🙁 Happy weekend!
Karen says
Hi Agata,
Sorry about your heel. I know how that is when an injury keeps you from doing something. I hope it gets better soon.
I ended up not doing my run. 🙁 Just too tired today. I’ll give it another try tomorrow.
I am going to try to go for a walk or something to get outside, and maybe we’ll go see Gone Girl this afternoon.
You have a good weekend too, whatever you do. Talk to you soon.
Rach says
Thanks for the giveaway, Karen! And I am allergic to shellfish, which was an absolute NIGHTMARE when my family would go to Filipino parties or visit in the motherland. At almost every restaurant we went to, the lumpia was pre-made with shrimp!! I would sit there all, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS?!?!”
Jennifer Pham says
Just a thought about the ebola virus and how it’s been handled – I really am disturbed that the attitude in places outside of the African region affected is “it’s not on our shores so it’s not a problem” or “it’s spreading over here, thus is our problem, which means we will help now.”
My question is, why not help for the sake of compassion alone? It’s just sad that it’s not a good enough reason to help for the sake of helping. I wish I can do more or had the skills to do something, but right now there’s not much I can do.
Jamie says
The first song that just came to mind is “Time Warp” from “Rocky Horror Picture.” I immediately started humming it to myself when I saw “Let’s Do…”

Icequeen81 says
I really need a new body spray: I made the mistake to leave it , where the sun and heat did hit it, it lost all his Delicious smell , and now it just smell like spray net.

I used quart of the bottle not even a half. and last I checked I haven’t seen it in the store lately. Was my favorite fragrance

Hi Courtney,
Thank you. I’m just glad it doesn’t totally annoy people. It seems like everyone has a cat on their blog these days, but I see why. Tabs is my best blogging bud. Without him I probably would have lost interest in blogging years ago.

Depending on how elaborate of an eye color scheme I’m wearing, my morning make-up routine takes anywhere from ten to 15 minutes. A majority of those minutes are spent on my eyes because my hand is not super steady.

So I totally didn’t get any sleep last night. Like none. A kinda Friend and her dog are spending the next 2 weeks crashing on my couch, The boyfriend calls me at 3 am to come pick him up from the airport (not close) and then I guess I,was so tired I totally don’t know what I did but I got lost. Finally got home, walked down my hallway to a kiddie pool of water bc my water heater decided to leak. I grabbed a bunch of towels and just went to bed. Then I get up at 6 am to get ready bc I did the color run 5k at 8am but…we got lost on the way there. Swallowed blue paint. After the FIFTH mile (no sleep +no food = pure exasperation) after coming home cleaning up water, walking my dogs and, scrubbing down in the shower for nearly an hour (only 20 min of hot water) I,am finally sitting on my friendless couch bundled up, pizza ordered with a fever. Omg that was just ALL TODAY! Someone stick a fork in me because I am totally done man.
My hot pink lips and matching wig looked totally hot though 🙂
I hope everyone has had a much better Saturday than I have??? Sephora….Gift Card…PLEASE!!!!
Donna says
Hello Karen, love your blogs. Not sure how much I love the difficult questions about having one brush, one bath product, etc., but love hearing your opinions on the different products you’re trying out. Hope the heat of the Bay Area doesn’t wilt you too much.

I spend arou nd 30-45 minutes a day on make up. I have bad skin and it’s hard to get foundation/concealer on to look flawless. Then there’s the liner issue. For some reason i can line both eye the same. one always comes off different in thickness, curve or smoothness.

Chelsea says
I recently tried a medium-toned Laura Geller Baked set that came with blush, bronzer, powder foundation and duo eyeshadow set. Even though I have fairly light skin, the blush and eyeshadow duo worked like dreams for me! I like the bronzer, though it picks up and deposits color in a more patchy fashion than does my Guerlain Brunette Terracotta Bronzing Powder. The only item that didn’t work for me was the foundation, though I think it’d be lovely on someone with a bit more warmth in her skin.
Laure says
I went to my sister’s wedding yesterday! 😀 It was a long time coming (they’ve been together exactly 7 years and been engaged for 2), but it was well worth the wait. It was the most amazing day. Everything went smoothly and I couldn’t stop smiling the entire day. I was her witness. 😀

When I’m feeling down or know I don’t have homework, etc that I need to rush-finish before my first class, I spend as much as 20 minutes on my make-up (combined with my skincare routine, bumps up to maybe 30 in total). When I’m in a rush, 5 minutes tops, with skincare a total of 15 min. If I can’t do anything else, I do at least try to pop in my contact lens, do my eyebrows, and swipe on lip balm + sheer lipstick (and of course sunscreen! Always a must! Even if I’m ten minutes late to class I put on my sunscreen!)
Mardi says
I’m soooo tired. I got four hours sleep last night. We went to the National Rugby League (football) grand final last night and the team my husband supports won for the first time in 43 years. We didn’t stay up all that late or drink but we had to get up at 5am to fly home. Yaaaaawwwwwnnn! I’m meant to be studying for my microeconomics exam. Oh dear. ZZZZzzzzzzzzz…..

I’m no longer a plus size (YAY) but am having a hard time finding a fashion style on a budget. I wish I could wear skinny jeans/knee boots with a jacket & a scarf every day but I have to dress up for work.

Hi Karen..It takes to long to put on makeup in morning….not sure why but I’m working on it to cut my time. I think though that it is my eye makeup that takes the longest.
Trude says
On weekday mornings I tend to do roughly the same look for work, so while its a full face I’ve got it pretty down pat and take about 15 minutes start to finish (although I do take my brow stuff with me in the car to do at the 15 stoplights on my commute!). 🙂

Kyla says
I really need…a new body spray! I saw someone else post about it, and realized that it was true for me, too! My favorite body spray in the world is brown sugar and fig by bath and body works. I wonder if anyone else here has experienced it before? If anyone was familiar with it, then they might also know you can only get it online now and that the formula might possibly have changed.. This has always made me hesitant to order since they discontinued it in stores, so I’m on the fence about it until my already half full bottle nears empty…

I have Tuesday off from babysitting the grand kids which I do get paid for, and after putting a 5 year old on the bus at 8;00 am after feeding the 11 week old at 7 am, I’m already exhausted. I sleep in until About 10 and take care of things like getting my hair out of the bun it’s in all week, paint my nails etc….
