** THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **
This giveaway is closed, and the winner has been contacted (CONGRATULATIONS, AMOURE!!!), but check back next Saturday for another giveaway.
Birthday beignets, po’ boys and art gallery cats! — ’twas an interesting (and fun) week.
I hope yours went well, too. Things here in Novato, California are still chugging along. It’s a little overcast this morning, but I’m pretty sure the misty morning fog will burn off by the afternoon. Then it’ll be hot, hot, hot.
Your nephew, King Tabby, is sitting right behind me on the couch. He says “mrow!” by the way. 🙂
I get the strong feeling that he’s hoping we’re going to go outside soon for a walk, because while I was out stuffing my gullet with beignets, he was stuck here with his petsitter in the house. Now I’m sure he’s raring to go (you know how seriously he takes securing the perimeter).
In other news, what’s the plan for this weekend? Is it sunny there?

Laurinha says
Have a nice weekend Karen!
Elizabeth says
My favorite wedding (other than mine) took place a year ago. It was very simple, but there was so much love. The couple are amazing people and extremely giving. Instead of spending money on their own wedding, they donated all that money to a charity.
Kiss & Make-up says
My bestie’s wedding last month was pretty amazing! HUGE party, best one I’ve been to in YEARS!
Carolyn says
Welcome back! I loved reading about your adventures in the Big Easy. All those jazz cats and beignets! And I loved the homes! The closest I’ve ever been to New Orleans is at Disneyland (and I swear I want that Haunted Mansion house!) Anyway, welcome home and hope you have a lovely B-day!
•Do you know how to skip? Yes I do! 🙂
•What’s a lipstick, gloss or balm you’ve been loving lately? I love the Clinique GWP I received a couple of months ago. The lipistick is something like Rasperry Glace and I top it with Hissyfit lip gloss.

When I think of “sauve,” I think of a Latino man with sexy hair. But that could be I think of the name Enriquo Suave lol
Nicole says
I’m currently addicted to TokyoMilk Dark Femme Fatale Collection Lip Elixir in Salted Caramel No. 36. It smells so yummy!
Rhoda K says
My friend’s wedding in Ireland was pretty amazing! 😀
Kristina says

Maybe the most interesting wedding I’ve attended was held in a minor league baseball stadium. The couple was married at home plate, with the bridesmaids and groomsmen lined up along the third base and first base lines, respectively. The “crowd” sat in the stands behind home plate. This was at the Staten Island Yankees park, which has the Manhattan skyline behind the outfield wall.
judyo says
i keep going back to mac’s HIGH STRUNG—

Noirojos says
I’ve been seriously digging Kat Von D’s Lolita lately!
Lala says
I do know how to skip and I really love it. I still skip, as it’s easy and awesome exercise. When I was younger, it took me forever to learn how to ‘Double Dutch’ but when I finally got it, I had a blast with it. I even had a “Skip-It” and I was obsessed with checking the counter to see how many skips I had done. Ahh to be a kid again. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 😉 xo

I’ve played the violin at over 80 weddings, so they all kind of run together:) But, my parents told me about one they went to that had a Viennese hour with a dessert buffet that wrapped around the room. Man I wish I had been in town for that one!
Currently loving: Juice Beauty lip gloss in Fig. It smells like a grapefruit creamsicle!

Cathy says
I’m loving Cliniques chubby lip colors- I have a ton of them and the sheers are awesome too. Go Hawks!!
dorit says
I lovelovelove watch royal weddings on tv. There was a group of girls when I was still living at my university dorm who would gather in the common room to watch the Felipe/Letizia wedding and in the same year Frederik/Mette-Marit. We had lots of drinks and snacks and so much fun! And then I’ve been to some pretty awesome weddings of my friends – the best ones really are the ones when you stumble to your room on your bare feet because you couldn’t dance in your high heels any longer when it’s getting light again. Right?
Mary W says
The most amazing wedding I have attended was a Jewish over the top three day celebration in Naples, Florida. It was fun, exciting, beautiful, fantastic and loving all at the same time.
Deidre LeDoux says
I used to live going to the zoo with the other kids. We had so much more fun as a large group than when we went with just our family. Thanks for the chance.
Cyndi says
Haven’t found my go to lip gloss/stick yet… but I’ve been experimenting with many different ones.
Lien says
Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick in Burnt Caramel is my favorite right now!
Michaela says
Hi Karen glad to know you had fun in New Orleans. Did you know there was a Nancy Drew video game that takes place in NOLA & I pulled it out of my video archives & started playing it again when you took your bday trip. What a coincidence! Anyway when I hear the word “suave” I think of two things- the shampoo & Gerardo former Menudo member’s song. The video was a trip!
Liz M says
My favorite field trip as a kid was going to the mountain to collect different kind of rocks. I was a rock nerd and loved hiking around trying to find them!
nat ogu says
ive been loving jack black lip balm lately
AP says
I am not married; however, I am engaged to be married. The most amazing wedding I’ve ever attended was my first cousin’s wedding – oh, I’d say, approximately 8 years ago. Besides the fact that it was a beautiful wedding, we had the BEST time! We danced the night away!!
Amber says
I’ve been obsessed with bronzers recently and am working through all that Too Faced has to offer.

Happy Saturday Karen and Mr. Tabs (mrow back at you sir )
My week went pretty well and my weekend is all about relaxing and resting. Glad to see you had a lovely birthday weekend in NOLA, I’ve heard some lovely things from my father after he visited there a few years ago.
Quite sunny out here in Az and a hot 93 degrees to go w/ that sun so I’m going to stay shaded as much as possible.
Now I’m aging myself here a bit but when I hear the words “suave” I instantly think of that song and the singer Rico Suave (lol). Also the lipstick that I’ve been really feeling is Kinda Sexy – MAC. It’s a gorgeous color and perfect for this season.
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend. <3
Katrina says
Since I got my birthday gift from Sephora I’ve only been wearing that on my lips – Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien, it’s perfect for everything!

Im not married yet and honestly i dont know if i ever will but the best wedding was my sister’s who spared no expense and i was the maid of honor 🙂
Im loving my LA lip glazes. i know they on the cheaper side but i love them so much lol
Lulubelle says
I don’t know if this counts as a field trip, but when I was in the 8th grade my school had a spring break trip to Canada (all the way from Mobile, AL). Only a 13 year old would think 10 days on a bus is fun, but it was. I still remember falling in love with French bread on that trip:-)
Lauren Wieland says
My husband and I got married in a little chapel in Niagara Falls, New York on New Year’s Eve. I wanted to get my makeup done at MAC but they were all booked up, so I got it done at Sephora. The girl did a wonderful job, so it all worked out!
Nannie Starrison says
I’m from Thailand and it’s been very hot too! My newly-bought air plant died right out (even though it’s said to be tough). But that unfortunate incident aside, my weekend so far is sleeping and napping and catching up on Arrow season 2. And trying to read for my research. It’s hard to do everything in this weather! Btw, love your blog.

Noon says
When I was a kid I think any field trip was my favorite because mom always packed me a special lunch.
Susan P. says

Brian says
I have been loving the MAC Huggables.

Betty says
Happy belated birthday! My birthday is coming up this week, and I’m seriously considering biting the bullet and getting the Becca shimmering skin perfector as a gift to myself. I’ve read so many reviews about it over the past few days, and I’m obsessing over it a little! I feel like it would be the perfect summer highlighter though.
gabi says
Lol at the last question. “Suave” means soft in portuguese (and maybe in spanish?) but it’s already stuck in my mind as the shampoo so whenever I read the word in english spoken blogs/websites it’s the first thing that comes to mind.
chickie brewer says
When my sister was little I enjoyed teaching her how to skip… For some reason she didn’t catch on quickly.. ( Hopefully she doesn’t read this;)
Sienna says
Whenever I see “suave” I always think of the discount haircare brand.
Tracy Robertson says
You mentioned overcast. I live in San Mateo, not too far from you and I wish it was overcast more often, especially when it’s warm. The other day it was actually warm, overcast and rained. I loved it so much, I find a cloudy sky cooling and relaxing.
Jessica says
I’ve been using YSL baby doll Kiss & Blush in Rose Epicurien and I love it 🙂

Heading out to Disney for my bday in a couple of weeks… can’t wait:-)

kelli says
my favorite field trip as a kid was a week long stay at a camp in 5th grade. it was great to be independent and not have to worry about my over concerned parents. i got to experience a lot.
courtney b says

I haven’t blogged in a month due to finals. I really need to get back on that track again.
Makyla says
Hey Karen! I have absolutely loved receiving email notifications about the next installment of your New Orleans adventures! So fun to read about! So glad you had a fun trip! I’ve really been enjoying the NYX butter lipstick in Little Susie lightly patted on my lips, and although I haven’t be wearing makeup much lately, I always love a bright or nude gloss, like NYX Cupcake, Buxom Creamsicle, or Buxom White Russian! Thanks so much again for offering another awesome giveaway!
Elena says
I’ve been wearing a lot of Kat Von D’s lolita liquid lipstick lately. I like the liquid better than the actual lipstick version. I also have been using a lot of Lorac’s Alter Ego Lipgloss in Secret Agent. It’s a nice nude that I will top over Lolita and a few other shades.
I just counted all my lip products and I have far too many…lol.
Maria says
Rico…Sauve lol
Rachel R. says
I’ve been loving ABH Liquid Lipstick in Party Pink and Kat von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in A Go-Go. I love me some neons.
Lydia B. says
I do know how to skip. I think we all need to incorporate more of this back into our lives. It’s fun, it gets you places quicker, and I’m sure it could be considered part of your daily exercise!
Suzanne C says
So glad you had a great b-day trip! My 40th is just 7 months away… gulp!! When I hear the word ‘suave’, I think of that idiot Gerardo and ‘Rico Suave’. That song just sounded slimey.
Hilary says
I love bright lips but I’m trying to work my way up to a red lip. I just got NARS lip pencil in cruella for my Sephora bday gift and I’m not sure I can pull it off!
Lisa Foster says
Lipstick I’m loving right now is Mac Lovelorn.
Sarah says
The word “suave” makes me think of soap for some reason! lol
Thanks for the giveaway!
BlackAsphodel says
When you hear the word “suave,” does anyone particular come to mind? Only imaginary characters from my favorite books.
monica says
In business school we visited the commissary of Jollibee, the Philippine equivalent of McDonald’s. Fast food magic heaven!
Cindy says
When we were in junior high we went to some camp grounds for the day. I got the worst sunburn, but had my “walkman” and a new “tape”. How I thought I had it all!!
Lori P says
Yep, I know how to skip and still do occasionally even though I’m 47. Yes, I do get looks sometimes but I don’t care.
daniell says
I have been wearing Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme. It works
Jenn says
Yes, I know how to skip!
Johnna Quick Owens says
I know it is supposed to be “other than yours” weddings, but since today is my anniversary, I feel entitled. My wife and I waited 17 years to get legally married, (same sex couple!) so last year on Friday the 13th of June, we finally did the deed. It was small, very personal and well worth the wait. After all those years, we still felt like newlyweds, and truly still do today. I hope everyone is as happy with their wedding and more importantly their married life as we are, no matter how long we had to wait to get there. 🙂
illy junus says
yes, i know how to skip and my lipstick choice is urban decay naked lipstick
Lisa says
Loved the New Orleans posts….hope to visit the city one day!
Tania G says
I’ve been loving Chanel’s coco shines as well as YSL’s sheer candy lip balms.
Chelsea Amanda says
My favorite field trip was the outer banks in the fifth grade. Before our grade went that year every previous fifth grade trip was to DC. But they changed it. Eighth graders were supposed to go on the outer banks trip. When eighth grade rolled around we didn’t go to D.C. Not sure what we did for a field trip that year. But yeah the outer banks was my favorite. With the lighthouses and beaches!! (:
Maritess Lee says
Lately I’ve been loving Mac Cremesheen Glass in Star Quality.
Shauna says
Anytime, I hear the word ‘suave’ I get transported back to the early 90s and think of Gerardo’s “Rico Suave”. Riiiiiiiico… Suuuuuave… I also think of affordable hair and bath and body products because ” you could pay more buy why”.
Amy V says
When I hear the word suave, that Gerardo Mejía-Rico Suave song from the 90s, comes to my mind. hahaha (Oh and that suave means soft)
Melanie Borhi says
I’ve been loving burts bees lipgloss alot lately makes my lips feel some TLC.
Carolyn Evans says

I can skip. I haven’t done it for a long while but I figure it’s like riding a bike and once you know how, you never really forget.
gail annacarto says
Happy Birthday

I really like MAC’s new matte lipstick in Persistence. It is a complex color on me that incorporates red, peach, gold and a little plum. Perfect for my fair skin and hazel eyes. Unfortunately, the matte formulation makkes the color very dark, much too dark for my complexion. Adding gloss to lighten it just changed the color. Emailed MAC customer service and they recommend Cherish or Spirit as lighter alternative. Any suggestions. Haven’t gotten to a counter in ages, this gift would be the perfect incentive to go!!!
Diana P says
I was feeling really down today and whenever I feel blue I check out what Karen and Tabs are up to since they always lift my spirits.
I also stumbled on this awesome post on the Huffington post titled “20 reasons a cat is the best investment you’ll ever make”. Google it, if you love cats it will make you’re day!
Stephanie says
I’ve been loving MAC Vegas Volt lately. I love the color, I just wish the formula wasn’t quite so drying.
I just got through painting my nails Essie The More the Merrier, I love the color. It’s so summery.

I’ve fallen back in with Burt’s Bees Tinted lipbalm — Rose. It goes in cycles… 🙂
Ana says
Um, I love skipping. I certainly don’t skip as much as I used to, but for a while I liked it a lot more than running. It just felt more efficient, you know?
Jessica says
I have fallen back in love with, tinted moisturizer and BB creams! Specially the Sunday Riley Tinted Primer and the Clarins BB Cream- I used to think I needed more coverage but I have been taking care of my skin and loving the lighter coverage !!

I made an impulse buy a couple weeks ago of the e.l.f. Essential Lip Balm Tint in Grapefruit and I am LOVING it. It was only two dollars, but it has a lovely tint and is super moisturizing. Also, it looks great patted over a stain.

Other than yours if you’re married, what’s the most amazing wedding you’ve ever attended?
My best friend’s venue was in a winery. The winery had its own little vacation house for the wedding party to get ready. It was gorgeous–vineyards spread out beyond as far as the eye can see and the winery also had a large duck pond with a dock extending out into it. The dock was the makeshift dance floor and it was absolutely GORGEOUS.
Destany says
Aquaphor is my fave lip balm

Hello, Karen. Lately, I’ve been loving Catrice’s Ultimate Colour lipstick in 020 Maroon 😀 it’s a rose-brown, a darker nude.
Rae Lynn says
While MAC is definitely my favorite line, I am a glossy lip kind of girl. So, I typically layer a lipstick and a gloss, not necessarily in that order. I have a current addiction to “Sexy Mother Pucker” from Soap and Glory, which is a plumping gloss. That gloss has to go on bare lips, so it gives the lipsticks I layer over it a sheer feel. My favorite MAC lipstick? Tough question! In summer, I like Plum Dandy, Precious Pink and Real Redhead. In Winter, Shitaki and Icon. I miss Fetish terribly. Why do they always discontinue colors that work on redheads? Maybe because we are such a small part of the population, hence not enough sales to warrant keeping the color around. Thanks for asking…
Nanette says
I would have loved to attend this wedding celebration that my brother did a photoshoot for. He noticed this guy at the gym and this restaurant. They got to talking and turns out thst he is working two jobs to save up for his wedding but still not enough. My brother offered to take pics at no cost. I love my brother’s big heart!

Lola says
Ohmigoodness! The Lorac Alter Ego lip gloss in Goddess has been my jam lately. It is that perfect purple, pink, creamy, no shimmer, gloss! I have even been wearing it without any lipstick or liner underneath.
Awesome giveaway! I like how you have been switching it up with MAC and the Sephora =)
Kalli Melia says
My favourite lip product right now is lip stain markers like the NYC lip stain in Endless Spice, it lasts for a couple of hours without feeling heavy. I’m really into the lighter textures for summer.
Karen says
My favorite field trip when I was younger was one that my art teacher took the class on to Letchworth State Park in upstate NY where I grew up. It has waterfalls and deep gorges and we went there to sketch the scenery….beautiful!
Fran says
My current favorite fun new lip color is the new Urban Decay gloss in the color ‘Big Bang’. It’s a bright pink/red with a ton of shimmer that’s not gritty or sticky at all.
Linda Sutton says
I assume that this is the entry form since I couldn’t find one.

Shelley says
I am having a love affair with one of Tom Ford’s limited edition summer lipsticks (although I think it’s going permanent) — Rose Soleil. I wish it had a little bit more staying power but with a sheer that’s kind of what you get.
Jody D says
summer is for Burt’s Bees lip protection for me!

Well, it doesn’t really get sunny where I live until about July, and even then it’s debatable. I love to run a lot in the mornings. (That was random).

John Thuku says
My favorite field trip as a kid is when I went to the Coca-Cola soda factory. I learned so much when I was there on how they produce coca-cola, why they leave space at the top of the bottle and how the machines work over there. After they finished explaining all these, we were told we could drink as many free sodas as we want but not to take back any to school. I drank so much that I almost had trouble walking back to the bus. It was the best field trip that I had in school. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.
Kecia S. says
I definitely know how to skip, skip, skip to my lou! I think once a week everybody should skip to get from one place to another. How funny would that be?
Jess says
I live on the east coast and it has been hot and humid the past couple of days. So much that I don’t feel the need to go out. I feel like we skipped spring and jumped right into summer.

Sophie Ruthven says
Yes I can skip
Hollie says
Are those Kitty Van you wore in you post?? I bought my 17 yr old daughter a pair!! Too cute!! I can skip pretty good if I can say so, but my brother couldn’t and prob still can’t.. When he was in 1st grade his teacher gave him a 3, which is an E in skipping. She also wrote in the comment box of the report card that he needed to practice skipping at home. Skipping is a very important factor of his large motor skills. If he could not skip he’d be in danger of repeating the 1st grade!!! So he can read, write, add and subtract, he plays Tball but might stay back for not being able to skip properly!! I wouldn’t of wanted to be that teacher when she requested a parent/ teacher conference! Btw he did pass 1st grade. Sorry for such a long comment but the skipping brought me back in time. Thanks for the chance to win this giveaway!!!
Rachel Selima says
Oh, my goodness, I would love to win this!

Lately I’ve been loving colourpop lippie stixs!
Brittany says
All three of my cousins had amazing weddings. The ceremonies were beautiful and the receptions were great. I was a bridesmaid for my one cousin and it was my first time getting my hair and makeup professionally done (I did my own for two proms and did a bang up job thankfully!) and when I looked into the mirror…wow! I know for this occasion you apply more makeup in order to photograph well, but it definitely took a bit of adjusting. Once I did I really loved it and didn’t want to remove it (don’t worry I did!)!
Lulle says
Other than yours if you’re married, what’s the most amazing wedding you’ve ever attended?

I just finished reading The Martian. Couldn’t put it down.
Cody U says
I never knew how to skip in kindergarten. I was evaluated on my motor skills or something, and I just couldn’t do it. I also couldn’t do that fancy step move where you criss cross your steps and run with high knees while criss crossing your steps.
I can skip now, and I do it often in the sunshine. 🙂
the other one…Still workin on it. -cody
Molly Simbeck says
•Do you know how to skip? Yes, sometimes I take the day off and lie in bed all day 🙂
•What’s a lipstick, gloss or balm you’ve been loving lately? MAC Runway Hit, MAC Men Love Mystery (from your recommendation), amd NARS Cruella. I’m also loving the Pixi balms when I want something quick and hydrating! I am dying to get my hands on MAC Velvet Teddy. Got to try out a friend’s this weekend and loved it.
•What was your favorite field trip when you were a kid? We went to a fish hatchery, and my now 91-year-old grandmother went as a chaperone. It made me feel so special to have her there. We actually got to fish during the second half of the trip, and a friend of mine got her hook stuck in my grandmother’s hair. We laughed and laughed and laughed. Such a sweet memory.

I don’t know how to put makeup on or even what they are for but I do know that I want to learn. The moment I see myself in the mirror on my birthday or my anniversary I feel so beautiful & ALIVE! please pick me to win the gift card. If not I hope whomever wins enjoys it thank you, Dinorah.

Annalee says
love it!!!!
Angela P. says
Hello! When I hear the word suave, the shampoo brand comes to mind. I can’t help it. I must say I have recently tried their new more “upscale” salon-like brand, because it has stuff like Argan oil in it and I’m a sucker for a deal (it’s still pretty cheap, but more than a buck) and it’s pretty good. Anyways… so I think of economy shampoo or a like a cheesy guy who thinks he’s some kind of modern Casanova but isn’t.
lena says
I’ve been loving First Aid Beauty’s Lip Therapy!

I’m loving buxom lip gloss it plumps my lips and stays on gloss without the overly tacky feeling and it doesn’t swipe off so easily
Pamela Haddad says
Looks like you had a fabulous time in NOLA. But how did Tabbs do without you? I was just on vacation and my boys were SO sad. Simba now has to touch me with his paw when we sit on the couch, so I can’t leave, I guess.
Georgia says
The most amazing wedding I have been to would be my friend’s wedding in San Diego. The wedding was at a restaurant which was located on an ocean shore. The food and drinks were tasty. Also, the environment had a chill yet romantic vibe to it.

Do you know how to skip? I do! But I have bad knees and I’m not sure if I can still do it.
What’s a lipstick, gloss or balm you’ve been loving lately? Too Faced Melted in Chihuahua. I like that it stays a long time and doesn’t make my lips feel “cakey.”
When was the last time you felt like you “knocked it out of the park”? I applied for a job at a place I really, really wanted to work and I ended up getting a couple of interviews. I didn’t get the job, but I realized it wasn’t quite the right job for me. I was pretty happy about the interviews though.

Happy Birthday! How amazing to spend it in New Orleans! Loving the pictures! And when I hear suave, I always think of Rico….Suave! 😉

Happy Birthday! I love New Orleans. What a great place for a birthday celebration. 🙂 (And my favorite field trip was DC in eighth grade. It’s my other favorite city!)

Probably the best wedding I went to, sounds frought with difficulties. Outdoors, in October. The heaters didn’t work. Some of us didn’t have coats. They wouldn’t let us pay for premium booze. The best man stole (okay, I shared) the last crab cake in the joint, because he was starving.
it was the best wedding ever. 🙂 My bestie was there, we danced, we drank, I met the bride and groom for the first time and now I love them, and they have the cutest baby boy.
Life is good 🙂

I’m so excited it’s summer!! I’m a teacher and I get to be creative and lazy during the summers. It feels great to do both.
My favorite field trip is the one I get to do with my students. This year we went to a drive through safari and it was fab u lous!!!

I have finally found my “nude” and I’m buying 10 of them! It’s Milani chocolate Espresso no mention of red, cherry, roho nada! Ice tried countless nudes and if you have ever seen Joseline Hernandez. The lip products they use on her is so beautiful. It’s her nude, blends in so you can play up those eyes and cheeks!

When I think of suave…I think of Tony my co-worker. He’s so charming and italian. lol! He could charm a grandmother or a 3 yr old. lol! He’s so good-hearted about it too… so it’s just fun.
Clemence says
Skipping is much more fun than walking 😛
