** THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **
This giveaway is closed, and the winner has been contacted (CONGRATULATIONS, SHERRY!!!), but check back next Saturday for another giveaway.
Star Wars.
Just gettin’ that out there. 🙂 I felt like I should start this with those words because — my gosh! — it’s Star Wars erryting right now. El Hub is so excited. The new movie is all he’s been talking about for days. He’s like a little kid. We have tickets to see it this afternoon, and I have to admit…I’m pretty excited about it too! I don’t really follow the whole Star Wars mythos, but I have watched all of the movies. I hope this one’s good.
Other that that, shopping. I still have a few things to get, so I’m heading to the mall in a little while this morning.
Tabs says “meow,” by the way. He just went outside for his morning walk, and it rained here last night, so he got to investigate some very interesting puddles, as well as wet grass, which made his tum damp, and he’s not sure how to feel about that… He’s still on the fence about it, but he’s leaning toward “not good.”
How are you doing, my friend? Good, I hope. Will you be getting any days off for the holiday? I’ve had to work on a few Christmases before. It can be a bummer, but I hope you have some people working with you for the camaraderie.
I hope you have a great weekend, whatever you’re doing. Thank you for stopping by…and may the force be with you (I couldn’t resist). 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
I do have a bar of soap in the shower. Lush’s sultana — so very moisturizing.
I have a bar of Irish Spring soap. It’s my favorite because it’s so refreshing and clean. I’m not a fan of sweet/sugary beauty products so I even use Irish Spring deodorant.
I can’t wait to have my own house. I would get a full kitchen remodel. I love to cook and I’m obsessed with kitchen appliances and gadgets.
Hi!! My favorite brown eyeshadow was Buck by Urban Decay, but then my gf gave me the MAC Warm Neutrals palette as a birthday gift and I’m in love with Brule!! It’s the perfect shade for my skin color, I use it with every look!! Saddle by MAC also deserves to be mentioned.. I love warm browns!!
I have never been a Star Wars person but my bf is and he is making me watch all the movies before we go to see the new. I just watched Episode 5 last night and it was really good.
I still need to complete my Christmas shopping…My card got compromised and I am waiting for a new one, which makes everything more difficult.
I have Christmas off this year but I do have to work on Christmas Eve.

I would love to have a bathroom remodel! I have never had that! Have a wonderful Sunday!
I love good food… but I’d kill for a luxurious bathroom (giant tub, vanity, storage space, etc)!
I really wanna see the new Star Wars movie but…I’ve never seen any of the previous movies! Ive been wanting to watch them for awhile but can’t seem to find anyone who has the movies and are willing to lend them to me! But it’s okay, I’ll watch them eventually.
I would definitely opt for a kitchen remodel! Our kitchen is so tiny!
So far, my favorite browns eyeshadow is nutty by wet n’ wild.
My Zen time is in my backyard with my beloved orange cat clique, Flesh & old man cat Big Orange. There has been “rumors” and hurtful allegations that I loudly snore. I love a mean brown natural blush. A oldie but favorite of mine is KORRES Natural.
What is your fav brown eyeshadow Karen?
Just curious since I am hunting for a good one!!! 🙂
What is your number one item on your Christmas wishlist? Mine is just a good dinner and movie date with the BF.
I don’t think I snore . . . but maybe sometimes?
I’d rather have a kitchen remodel.
Favorite brown eyeshadow – *cries.* MAC discontinued my favorite – Uninterrupted Pro Longwear. It was the perfect mustardy-slightly olive brown. I bought Camel by Bobbi Brown, but it’s juuuuust not quite cutting it. Does anyone have any suggestions for the perfect “ugly” brown eyeshadow?
My favorite brown eyeshadow is a duochrome brown loose pigment called Sookie from the indie brand Virus Insanity! It’s a soft gold that’s almost a rose gold in the right light with silvery greenish iridescence and gold and silver glitter.
Thanks for the chance at the giveaway! I love your blog posts!
I think I would sleep all day if I didn’t have two kids driving me bonkers.
I’m so relieved to know that I’m not the only one who isn’t quite done with my Christmas shopping! I wish that I could say that I don’t snore, but I’ve woken myself up mid-snore more than once or twice! LOL Thanks for the opportunity to win the Sephora gift card! If I’m lucky enough to win, maybe I’ll use it for a little “to me – from me” Christmas present! Happy Holidays!
I would love to stay in bed all day and watch Netflix
I keep it old school and have a bar of soap in the shower purely because I love the smell.
I would love to re-model my bathroom…. I have been looking at tiles and features, but can’t re-model yet…
I hope that you have fun at the new Star Wars movie Karen. 🙂
I have Christmas off, and every other day. I am a stay at home Mom.
I don’t really wear makeup anymore, but I love your posts.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. I am very happy for you and El Hubs and Tabs.
I’ve got a bar of soap by the sink, but the shower is all bottles:)
I have a bar of soap in our shower because my husband refuses to give up Dial Gold antibacterial soap.
Enjoying my cup of tea while listening to BBC radio on the song Gracias a la vida…… a song about being thankful to life and yet with such a sad and soulful tone…..
Oh what I wouldn’t give to have a day free of responsibilities! I feel so overwhelmed right now. Between fighting a cold and extra stress at my part-time job, I’m pretty overwhelmed. I’d love to have a day off of chores and everything and just play with my Tarot cards without any guilt that I’m supposed to be doing something else.
I would rather much have a bathroom renovation because I’m in it all the time haha
I own dozens of brown eyeshadows, but I always go back to Buck from the Urban Decay Naked 1 palette.
No bar soap in my shower but my husband only uses bar soap in his shower!
ooh good questions! kitchen remodel definitely. Although I wouldn’t turn down a bathroom remodel for any of my bathrooms.
Can’t wait to see Star Wars!!! I have tickets for tomorrow!!!!
In the midst of making Hubby a Birthday Cake!
Yes, I do snore ??
I’d like to have a day to play with the new video games I bought last week!
Oh, how I have dreamed of a 1950’s style kitchen, I have vintage style small appliances and dining items but I have wished for a kitchen remodel for a couple of decades, unfortunately due to my circumstances it will always just be a dream.
I’d rather have a kitchen remodel
I do not snore 🙂
If I had a day with no chores, deadlines, or responsibilities, I would probably spend it watching netflix, catching up on all the shows I’m behind on or watching movies.
I have a bar soap in my bathroom
STAR WARS. if i had a “free day”, i’d watch the Daria dvd my friend let me borrow-the entire series and both movies!!
I am so tired now 🙁
I feel in love with your blog because not only you have great reviews…but you have a super sweet cat as a mascot!
Everything in the shower is a bottle.
Hi Karen,
So happy when I see the pregnancy updates from you and glad to know you and your lil’ angel are doing perfectly well 🙂 I do have a bar of Lush in my shower especially for the days I need a quick bath as I feel bar gets it done faster than shower gels 😛 I would sleep and spend the day watching movies/series at home with the hubs if I had nothing else to do today 🙂
Sending you tons of best wishes for the holidays!
Paulomi
Kitchen remodel! There is absolutely no room in my kitchen, but the way my house and driveway are laid out, there’s probably no way I can change it.
Kitchen remodel.
I have never watch any Star Words movie but I hope you have fun at the movies.
On days when I have nothing to work on or take care of I like just to just stay in and relax. Do some gaming, watch series, maybe bake something. Aw yesss 🙂

Happy holidays!! I could really really use that gift card this year! I am $65 away from VIB status this year at Sephora and I think that would just life changing!! I’ll fill my shower with bath bar AND things in a bottle haha. I do have both!
Love and light. Sarah
Bar of soap AND a bottle of body wash.
Kitchen remodel!
I’d rather have my bathroom redone. I’d get heated floors & smaller, non-slippery floor tiles.
I am totally a bar soap girl! Right now I’m using one of the Christmas ones from Lush. My favorite soap of theirs is Snowcake which they only make around Christmas so every year I stock up on enough to get me through the year! It smells like Marzipan and vanilla! 🙂
I only use Dove bar soap. I do not like body wash. Call me crazy but my skin doesn’t feel clean enough. Haha
Today is actually one of the first days/weekends in months where I haven’t had any chores, deadlines, or responsibilities (well, deadlines at least! I just finished up a crazy fall semester of school while working full-time) and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying sitting around with my feet up listening to some tunes… I almost have no idea what to do with myself! 🙂 Hope you have a nice weekend!
I snore a little bit unfortunatly :((
And i have a bar soap for hands hehe
We have both body wash and bar soap in our bathroom!!
I really like Bobbi Brown brown shadows… both matte and shimmer. I think she makes a nice variety!
A kitchen remodel by far! I would love some nice cupboards.
Every soap in my place is a a bottle…for some odd reason I don’t like bars unless they are decorative.
Matt Batali from TheBalm’s Meet Matte palette is actually my favourite brown. I have yet to find something similar, but I’m definitely open to suggestions!
I finally just found my favorite brown eyeliner this month. It’s Makeup Forever’s brown. I love it
I really like Charcoal Brown by Mac!
I dont snore. If I am not pregnant. Now… a whole other story.

Happy Saturday Karen,
Today I finally assemble the Christmas tree. I’ve been so busy and all the hustle and bustle of the holidays running together I just haven’t had time to get my tree in order. Plus the house wont be as festive this year , but that’s definitely not the reason for the season.
How would you like to spend your day today if you had no chores, deadlines or responsibilities?
At a beach house enjoying the smell of the ocean and sipping mimosas.
Do you snore?
When I’m really sleepy I do.
Is there a bar of soap in your shower, or is everything in a bottle?
Yes I keep some bottled soaps and a bar of soap in my shower.
What’s your favorite brown eyeshadow?
It’s this brown shadow that comes in an old Wet N’ Wild trio. I loved it so much I had to scale Amazon and Ebay for them because they no longer sell that trio. Now I have like 4 back ups just so I don’t run out.
Which would you rather have: a bathroom remodel or a kitchen remodel?
Kitchen first , but I’d really like them both done.
If I had a day to myself, it would be spent drinking a peppermint mocha by the fire with tons of Christmas movies!
How would you like to spend your day today if you had no chores, deadlines or responsibilities?
I would catch up on my sleep.
Do you snore? Nope
I’m so excited for Christmas break. In just a few more hours, I’ll finally be back home. 😀
I love college, but it’s good to return home every now and then.
I hope you’re well this happy caturday!
Fav brown eyeshadow: can’t pick just one! Tom Ford Nude Dip is my very, very favorite palette, so the brown in that one. On the lower end of the $ spectrum, I love the browns in the Tartette palette, and there’s a Loreal palette called Cupa Joe that has some nice matte browns. 🙂
Karen, I noticed that you wear your rings in the order that you received them. That’s the same way I want to do mine when my guys finally give them to me lol. I never really knew why we change up the order when we get married.

We came home with our second little baby boy yesterday! Talk about turning life upside down, all the moreso with a 2 year old in the mix. But all things being equal, I think we’re off to a great start.
Nicole – Beyond the Pale and Freckled recently posted … Beauty Empties as of December 2015 & 40 week pregnancy update
I love my kitchen as-is, so I’d have to say bathroom remodel!
Congrats on your pregnancy, Karen!
I like the shea moisture soap; I have the green tea kind in there right now
My favourite brown eyeshadow is cocoa bear by makeup geek! It’s just perfect <3
I have bars of soap and lotions and potions!
Is there a bar of soap in your shower, or is everything in a bottle?
Yes we a have natural glycerine soap bar, no additives, to wash our face. I prefer my products as natural possible
My face cream, soap, eye cream ,and witch hazel are natural
and also have a natural deo .
Everythings in a bottle
There’s a bar of soap (Dove!) and body wash in my shower. I usually use the bar soap.
I love to relax wen i have the day off..preferably snuggling in bed under a cosy blanket, a good novel and crunchy snack to munch along while frantically following a mystery story.. lol.. 🙂
I do have multiple bars of soap
My favourite brown eyeshadow is a dark matte cool brown in my lorac palette ..great for outer corner depth and for lashlines..
I love the anything goes red lip pencil on u karen.. that’s the red i will be buying wen i get my hands on those velvetease pencils..
Hi Karen, have a nice weekend!
I do not snore.
As usual I’ll try to answer them all!
How would you like to spend your day today if you had no chores, deadlines or responsibilities?
Unfortunately, it’s all about money right now. I’d like to do many things but I don’t have the cash! Poor Erin, the current me, is going to spend some time reading while burning a candle. There might be some tea in there. Already played with my pup and ran errands!
Do you snore?
Sometimes. I have bad allergies and if I’m on my back I will.
Is there a bar of soap in your shower, or is everything in a bottle?
Bottle everything!
Shh! You didn’t hear it from me, but __________.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
What’s your favorite brown eyeshadow?
NARS Lhasa!
Which would you rather have: a bathroom remodel or a kitchen remodel?
Since I’m in a rental I really can’t have either! The kitchen is not great but it’s serviceable. Not having any counter space in the bathroom or a tub is making me a bit cray. So let’s go with bathroom if we’re dreaming!
Erin recently posted … Etat Libre d’Orange Cologne
I really want the bath rooms remodeled, they’re so ugly. The previous owner did all his own remodeling and so the bathrooms look like stalls.
Everything in my shower is in bottles – soap is too annoying! I love brown eye shadow but am still looking for my favourite. I bet you can help me with that!
I snore like an absolute beast :O :’D
Apparently I can still be heard even when I’ve unwittingly forced him downstairs to try escape the sound!
Yes I do snore!
I’m dying to see Star Wars – have fun!!!
And I only have bottles in my shower (incl a few jars)…
Ho Ho Ho!
I would definitely just lounge around in my robe and bake goodies. And at night I would pamper myself with some nice face masks.
I have so much to do this week! I have only a few gifts bought and have to wrap!
I have a few bottles of shower gel & cream from The Body Shop, shampoo bottles, and a bar of Johnson & Johnson’s baby soap because I’m super-sensitive to everything . . .
I’m actually not doing much today – I had a little too much fun last night with friends so I’m recovering now
I have goat’s milk soap in my shower. Comes in lovely scents, along with many many bottles of shower cremes!
I would spend it catching up on sleep and reading books
I don’t think I snore but hubby maintains I do *shakes head*
I slept in bed most of the day with the cats, so it wouldn’t have been much different!
I’m no delicate flower. I snore like a chain saw.
“Happy Holidays!” Our oldest son is on the Star Wars Band Wagon, also!
He bought tickets quite awhile ago and saw the movie just this past Thursday…
He and his friend said it made like 50 million, the first day!!!!!
Many thanks for the chance to win a fabulous Sephora Gift Card.
Cindi
My favorite brown eyeshadow would have to be Tease from Naked 2 (perfect transition shade!) or Busted from the same palette – it is just the perfect plummy brown!!
Everything is in a bottle in my bathroom! The germaphobe inside of me discourages the existence of bar soaps!
P.S. Love hearing your pregnancy updates; I’m so glad you and your baby are both doing great! Sending you both lots of love!
Hope you and El Hub enjoy the new Star Wars movie, Karen. I’m a huge Star Wars geek. I took my little boy to see it Thursday night and we LOVED it!
Bathroom remodel. Though, I would like both.
I am loving this winter weather! Bring on the hot cocoa! We’ve had too many 70 degree days in the Southern Hemisphere.
I’d spend the day at the beach if I didn’t have any errands to do!
Hi Karen! Merry Christmas! Hhhmm, what would I do if I had no responsibilities today? I’d head to the Bead Show or the bead store to ogle the beads and dream about more beading projects. Unfortunately, real life gets in the way, but I plan to make more time for thus hobby!
Happy weekend Karen!
Yes, there’s a solid bar of soap in our bath, but that’s mostly hubby’s. I only borrow it when I feel like lathering up with the pouf is too much work for me.
I’m so excited to have the weekend off and I’m planning to go buy myself a velvetease lip pencil thanks to your recent video! (my wallet says no thanks but my heart says yaaassss….)
I have several little chunks of soap in my bathroom.
STAR WARS!! I can completely relate to being little-kid-level excited about the movie. I saw it last night and LOVED IT!
Ok, we mostly have everything in bottles, but there is a box of Irish Spring soap on the bathroom shelf. That would be my husband’s. He loves Irish Spring for some reason. I haven’t used bar soap in over 30 years. I love shower gels!! On an interesting note, I ordered a huge bottle of Magno Bath Gel from Amazon. It’s made in Spain and people seem to really love it. Unfortunately, the seller ran out of it, so I won’t be getting it. Maybe I can get a yummy Philosophy body wash if I win a gift card from Sephora. LOL!! Happy Holidays Karen!! Thank you for having these giveaways!!
If I can make it through 2015, anything is possible.
I would love a kitchen remodel, all the way! We live in a small apartment with a decent sized kitchen, but what we could use is more efficient use of cabinet and pantry space. 😀
I only snore if I’m having allergies or a cold 🙂
I snore line a freight train. It’s embarrassing.
Howdy from Oregon! We’re going to see Star Wars tomorrow. My kids are super-excited. Aaric (my oldest) has spent the last few days re-watching the other six movies so he’s got full background. He’s planning on wearing his new Kylo Ren T-shirt. 😀 Heck, I’ll probably wear one of my CoverGirl Star Wars collection lipsticks, or maybe a lipstick from Makeup Revolution’s Far Away Galaxy Collection (Sky-walker is pretty cool).
My house was built in the mid-70s, and the bathrooms are tiny, so I would definitely go for a bathroom remodel. Our kitchen is actually pretty big considering the time period in which it was built. It has a ton of cabinets, which I love. The original owner must have been into cooking.
I would like a bathroom remodel. I like cooking and being in the kitchen, but a nice bathroom is great!
Well I’ve actually been on Christmas holidays the last… 10 days already! And I don’t go back for another two weeks. I’m very lucky, so I haven’t been doing a whole lot except sleeping in, playing around on the internet, and getting some exercising in 🙂 I would like to spend a bit more free time with my mom and brother though since I’m with my in-laws for a few weeks 🙂
I do snore.! and I’m excited about Star Wars.
I always have bar soap in my shower because when I’m in a rush I just can’t be bothered to work with a poof.
What’s your favorite brown eyeshadow? -Tom Ford or Dior. Like buttah. Love it.
I would LOVE a kitchen remodel. Maybe someday after replacing all the windows and repaving the driveway.
REMODEL MY KITCHEN!!! Yes, I was yelling! I really need it so much lol. Thanks for the tape trick. I think I’d like it better than scotch tape. Glitter roams like gypsies on my face.
If i have day off i just would love to snuggle with my son
Hope you enjoy Star Wars! I loved it!
If I wasn’t so busy today I’d love to be stuffing my face at an AYCE sushi bar!
I don’t snore, well most of the time I don’t.
All bottles in my shower… Interesting
I do have a bar of soap in my shower….but it belongs to the hubby. He likes “the gold bar”. I on the other hand love Bliss shower products. Hope you enjoyed Star Wars‼️
Bars of soap can collect bacteria (!!!) and always seem to slip out of my hands. All bottles here, ma’am.
And I loved Star Wars! I won’t spoil anything, but I will say I’m in love with the new characters.
I don’t think I snore but it’s my pet peeve!
Bathroom remodel would be amazing!
Definitely a bathroom remodel.
I feel like I’m the only person in the world who’s never seen a Star Wars movie.
There’s always a bar of soap in the bathroom for when I need a super quick shower.
Colourpop So Quiche is an awesome brown.
I would have loved to stay home in yoga pants and read all day. Or cook and bake if I had a new kitchen. 100 year old house =awkward and dysfunctional kitchen.?
I pretty much did nothing but rest and relax today. It was necessary. I have soap and many bottles in my bathroom. Lush is my weakness. I need a kitchen remodel. I also need a bedroom makeover.
I snore only when I’ve over-indulged on drinks!
I prefer a kitchen remodel
I got a viral infection for Christmas 🙂 🙁 🙁 🙁 I could use a cheer-me-up 🙂
Bathroom remodel for sure! 60’s tract house bathrooms are tiny, with motel-style combo bathtub/showers that I hate.
These next two weeks are short work weeks for me because I get the 24 and 25 off, I’m taking 12/31 for my yearly mammogram and then I also get 1/1/16 off. I’m VERY thankful for the short work weeks because I was off most of this last week with a strep throat infection and need to pull the throttle back or I’ll relapse
Merry Christmas Karen! Congrats on your pregnancy. I don’ t snore but my husband does.
Bathroom remodel!!
Hi Karen! My shower soap is always liquid – I find bar soaps to be too drying for my skin
I would sleep in and watch netflix all day since I’ve been so stressed for finals!
I would love a complete bathroom remodel.
My husband and my dogs snore loud enough to peel paint so even if I did snore, they would drown me out.
Only bottles in my shower, don’t like the thought of a thousand things growing in the soap dish.. *shiver*
I would love to have a Jammie day. A day where I can wake up, brush my teeth, wash my face, keep my Jammie’s on and let that be the extent of my day.. I would love to see a brown eyeshadow look with different shades of browns that anyone can pull off. If anyone has seen or has done a look like this I’d love to see it.
Only bottles right now, but I have plans to get bar soap at the store tomorrow! It is on my list!!
I don’t know if it’s my coloring, or if I just don’t know how to do it right but I haven’t found a brown eye shadow that I feel like I look nice with. I wear purple eye shadow (blame the 80’s but I still love it and it makes my hazel eyes look more green). I love gold eye shadow and grey eye shadow. The last time I tried a brown eye shadow everyone kept asking me if I was “tired” all day long, LOL!
Cant wait for xmas!!
Thank goodness I don’t snore. My husband snores enough for the both of us!
I only used to use bar soap, but converted to shower gel in the past couple of years. We still have bar soap in our shower since that’s all that my husband will use. He loves the Dove one 🙂
Happy Holidays Karen!!!
K & T – I love the ’70s! In Season 2 of the awesome tv show Fargo, Kirstin Dunst’s character wears a pair of super high waisted bell bottoms that I would kill for! Also, I had a serious convo @ work this week about whether blue eye shadow should come back in fashion. Of course I was on the pro side. Well, have a great week shaking your groove thangs & if you get in trouble, blame it on the boogie!
I would love to have my bathroom remodelled. If only I had the $ it would be done, well someday.
Hi Karen I’d love to have a beautiful bathroom that can be my haven to decompress after a long day’s work. I’d have a Japanese style bathroom which I had an opportunity to use when visiting a friend in Japan-a padded toilet seat that you can heat up in the winter and with different sprays (ahem for you-know-what) and a deep tub that you can relax in after you rinse in a separate shower area. Very ulitarian but also zen relaxation…ahhh.
I loved the new Star Wars movie. I saw it Friday.
I don’t think I snore but my husband says I do…
If I had one day with no responsibilities… I’d sleep!
I’m voting kitchen renovation.
I friggin love Christmas!its the most wonderful time of the year! ???
I’m so excited for this next year. My boyfriend of 7 years and I are going to try to get a house!
I just watched Star Wars this afternoon — it was fun!
I do not snore, lol.
If I had whole off to do whatever I pleased I’d be lazy-sleeping in, lounge on the couch, watch movies-the entire sloth lineup.
I would rather have a kitchen remodel since I spend more time in that room.
I have both bar and bottled soaps in my shower!
In my shower, I have both bar soap and bottled shower gels!
Happy holidays Karen!
If I had no responsibilities, I would sleep in and laze around at home!
I just found out I snore…the irony after years of snore shaming!
I would love a kitchen remodel. I live in an apartment with a TINY galley kitchen and I dream of the day I get to own a house with a big island and plenty of counter space!
Hi Karen,
I would read. all. day.
Hope you’re feeling well!
I’d rather have a kitchen remodel 🙂
Happy nearly Christmas Karen!
I’m preparing for my first tropics Chrustmas. It’s snowing at home in Scotland, here in Madagascar its BOILING!!!!! Hope you enjoy Star Wars! X
I would love a bathroom remodel especially if it involved making it bigger!!
We just saw Star Wars, it was REALLY good. I’m glad I went in knowing next to nothing about this one.
Did Tabs get VIP tickets to the pre-screening in LA? I imagine he must have gone to a big party as well.
Star Wars was awesome! The line? Not so much! Managed to get seats together though. If I had the chance, I’d stay home reading a good book.
Bar soap. Gel makes me itch!
Happy Holidays Karen,
How would you like to spend your day today if you had no chores, deadlines or responsibilities? Sleeping & I actually did that for better part of today. II have 2 year old so when I can sleep I take advantage, Grandma & Grandpa had my son.
Do you snore? No
Is there a bar of soap in your shower, or is everything in a bottle? Actually I have both Dove soap & Body wash
What’s your favorite brown eyeshadow? Mac Saddle.
My favorite brown shadow is Soft Brown or Creme Brûlée from Makeup Geek!
everything in my shower is in bottles! i hate when bar soap gets all small & crumbly & sad
I have a bar of soap in the shower. I love Doves
Happy Holidays!!!
Both soap and bottles in the shower.
I’m usually a pretty quiet sleeper, but when I’m really tired, my husband says I purr.
We are just home from Star Wars, and of course it was awesome. My husband and I were discussing when to go see it again before we even left the theater.
If I had to pick forever between bar soap and liquid, I would pick bar, but actually I have both. I like the liquid for hand soap, especially.
Also I just got Sephora VIB status for the first time, can you believe that? (It means I spent too much money.)
Mel recently posted … NOTD: Seared Bronze (on close-out?)
Everything in my shower is in a bottle, I don’t really like using bars that much. I’ll be going to Lush for the first time tomorrow though so that may change!
Its finally cold in NYC but I have my cat Slippers to snuggle with and keep me warm…saves on electricity.
For cleansers, it’s all liquids, all the time. Say hi & pet Tabs from me!

I would LOVE a bathroom remodel, total mermaid theme, everything teal with seahorses and stuff on the walls and a giant bathtub.
I am in love with asian skincare products and particularly this one thai products which is truely miraculous!
I wish I knew about all the Srphora hacks before. I discovered so much recently and feel like a fool! I never used my BI 15 off 50 before this year and I have never redeemed my birthday month freebie!
Hi Karen! Happy holidays!!!
There isn’t any product that good to mention in my shower right now but I really wish my Santa-boyfriend will hear my prayers and get me the Laura Mercier creme de pistache scrub and body wash because I want them sooo bad! Also, my favourite brown eyeshadows are Mac soft brown, swiss chocolate, saddle and brown down! Can’t really pick just one!
Hope you are feeling great! Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Many many kisses from Greece xx 😀
We’re heading out in about an hour to see Star Wars. For my husband’s sake, I hope it’s really good–he’s been really looking forward to it! 🙂
My favorite brown eyeshadow of the moment is Brownscript from MAC!
Well seeing as finals are over (thank god) and I’m back home for the holidays I actually for once have nothing to do which means NETFLIX! I think I build up my queue all year just for this time of year.
i will be keeping my kids entertained ?
If I had no responsibilities I would be back in Cozumel on a beach enjoying a good drink!
Kitchen remodel!!
oh YES I snore!! I woke myself up this morning!
I rarely snore, but when I do it wakes me up, so it usually only lasts for a minute or two.
Everything in my shower is in a bottle or jar except my shampoo which is from lush. Evie and Harley (my furbabies) told me to say “Meows it going? to Tabs
I don’t snore
I haven’t seen the last three Star Wars movies and I’m not sure if I’ll see the new one. You are so right — it’s everywhere! I got an email yesterday featuring “limited edition” Star Wars themed dog toys. Now that one really cracked me up. . . .
Happy Holidays!
I can’t wait to see the star wars movie, either.
I currently have a bar of coconut soap from Thailand in my shower. I go back and forth on the whole soap/ shower gel thing.
Hi Karen,
Hope you and baby girl are all geared up for the holiday! I have to work on Christmas eve for a little while – and it’s going to make everyone have to wait on me to celebrate. On a more sad note, I just lost my Mom a few days ago — so in many ways I’m not really in the mood to do or go anywhere. She was in a nursing home, and had dementia – but we didn’t know that she was near death. So it’s put a sad place in my holidays. The only thing that I feel good about is that she passed peacefully. She is with my Dad now. This is good.
Have a beautiful Christmas Karen, cherish your family — tell them that you love them often. Life is uncertain at best……<3
Cant wait to watch Star Wars after New Years, got my tickets! I dont like crowds so I never watch a movie opening weekend.
If I didn’t have to do a dozen things today, I would not leave the house. I’d spend the entire day watching Hallmark Christmas movies and reading magazines.
I would definitely have to choose the bathroom remodel!
I’d rather have a kitchen remodel (ours is in desperate need and is in the works) but I feel like while a pretty bathroom is nice I spend more time with family and friends in the kitchen and it’s important to have a functioning one that’s easy on the eyes
I just purchased my first NARS product last night – Silk Road. I’m obsessed!
If I had a day off without having a ton of other tasks lined up…. I would definitely chill out on the couch with the dogs and alternate between Hulu and a good ‘ol Agatha Christie book!!!!
I really can’t choose between my two favorite brown eyeshadows — ME-554 Gunmetal (metallic) and I-628 Reptile (iridescent), both by Make Up For Ever.
I have a question for you, Karen. Everyone talks about using cream eyeshadow when they want to do an easy eye look, but for me it seems anything but easy, unless I want a sheer one-color wash. When I try to apply it with any opacity and intensity, it creases on my oily, hooded lids. And getting the colors to blend together smoothly despite the wrinkly loose skin up above my eyes is like, forget it. And I’m talking about good quality eye shadow sticks from Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, by Terry, and Kiko (Kiko actually creases the least). Even if I use the NARS eye shadow primer first, I still get creasing unless I set with powder eyeshadow, which kind of defeats my purpose of getting out the door quickly, since I tend to make a mess whenever I use powder shadow. I usually blend cream shadows with dense synthetic brushes from Make Up For Ever, but sometimes with my fingers — makes no difference. Is it my technique, or just something about my eyelids? Do I have to settle for sheer on the days I want to use cream shadows to get out the door more quickly? (When I use powder eyeshadow, I always make a mess, so I always do my eyeshadow first, then clean up and do the rest of my face, but that adds a couple of minutes to my routine.)
I still love cream shadows as a base for powder shadows (except for the ones that are super-creasy on me), but I just can’t seem to get a great look with them used alone.
I would like to spend my day watching Netflix and eating pizza lol.
I have a bar of soap and bottles combined – everything pink!
If I had nothing to do today I’d probably spend the day in bed, I’m feeling a little under the weather.
Hi Karen! 🙂 My fave brown eyeshadow is by Anastasia Beverly Hills. It is from the self made palette and called Hot Chocolate
Right now, I’d rather have a kitchen remodel, but only if it happened in a blink of an eye. I don’t really want to have to live through the dust of the deconstruction and rebuild. And I’d like it not to cost too much either. Both of which are extremely unlikely to happen, especially with the outrageous construction costs in the bay area.
I would love a bathroom remodel. Our master bath is so tiny- there is no room for my husband and I to have our own space.
Today for me pretty much is a free day. There’s nothing I “have” to do, chores can wait til tomorrow lol. So I’m spending it the way I want. The kids are wrapping their gifts to each other, after that is making gingerbread and sugar cookies and later tonight we’re driving out to see a Christmas light display. Sounds pretty perfect to me! 🙂
I would love a kitchen remodel.
I worked on sending out my resume and cover letter for a job this morning, which is not something I really wanted to do today (but the chance of a new challenge is totally exciting)! I would have rather been at the spa getting a much needed facial and massage.
soap in the shower and soap in bottles by the sink and kitchen
Right now, everything in my shower is in bottles. That said, I like using bar soap, especially when I’ve splurged on soap from someplace like Lush.
If I had nothing to do all day, I would sit with my Netflix queue and catch up.
Kitchen remodel please.
Thanks for the chance. Super excited Christmas is almost here!
Definitely bathroom remodel cause mine is too small.
A day with no repainsibilities would definitely be spent watching Netflix or shopping. With 2 kids either would be a dream!
Hi Karen. I always have a bar of soap or two in the shower along with some fruity smelling body wash. A girl’s gotta have choices! Also my favorite brown eyeshadow is Barcelona Beach from Makeup Geek although I have many. That one is the perfect matte medium brown eyeshadow more on the neutral side, not too dark and perfect for the crease. I love that shade. What about you?
No bars of soap for me–they seem so unhygienic somehow!

I have so much shopping to do still!
Bar soap, yes! Lever 2000 Dove or Caress are the go-to in our shower.
Laura Mercier Cafe Au Lait is my HG brown shadow.
My fav brown eyeshadow it’s the Giorgio Armani “Eyes to Kill Intense Silk” 🙂
It’s Star Wars week! It’s Star Wars week! I waited in line overnight back in the early 2000’s to see the first one only to be deeply disappointed but as big of a fan as I am, I still haven’t seen it! And it’s been out two and a half days!!! I had tickets in my cart ready to purchase the day you could buy them and I stopped. It’s sad to say how scared I am to go to anything big like that anymore. Afraid that some guy, dressed as Darth Vadar or Kylo Ren, would come in and shoot everyone. It may sound paranoid and it may sound crazy and it may be the pregnancy paranoia but that’s why I didn’t go on opening night. And we had a wedding last night. Going to try to go tonight. I went to school Friday and all of my students (they all thought I saw it because I’m obsessed) and they started blurting out the “can you believe so and so did such and such!” And now I know everything!!! But I still CANNOT WAIT to see it. I told my husband that if we done see it tonight that I’m going by myself while he’s at work this week. I can’t wait! Merry almost Christmas!
I love Dove, especially the Pistachio Creme scent. And I would love either a bathroom or a kitchen remodel, but I guess if I have to choose, I’ll go with kitchen.
I’d rather have a bathroom remodel ! With a jacuzzi !
Unfortunately, I do snore! It caused a lot of sleepless nights for my partner, and then we discovered the wonder of earplugs. ?
Everything in my shower is in a bottle, I love some of the scents of the bar soaps but they get so nasty messy when they are wet and left that way. LOL And I hate that waste, so I opt for shower gels. When the bottle seems empty, I can add water and use it for a bubble bath and get every last drop. Waste not want not!
Yes, I do snore 🙂
Happy holidays! 🙂
Soap, gel, oils, creams, all there!
I would pick a bathroom remodel.
I do not snore! Sometimes I laugh in my sleep 😛
A kitchen remodel! I feel like I spend so much time in the kitchen that it would be nice to have a nice kitchen to work in! But whether or not I can afford it is the question… 🙂
I would love a kitchen remodel! I’m a baker and this kitchen is just not doing it for me!
Happy holidays Karen! Pretty much a bathroom remodel just to get radiant floor heating.
I totally snore and I’ll admit it! I actually do have sleep apnea though, so at least there is a reason behind it. It’s considered mild (I *only* stop breathing 12 times an hour!) and I have horrible insurance, so I got diagnosed, died when I saw the bill, and haven’t been back to treat it!
I Love MAC Mulch for a brownish-bronze smokey eye.
Love your blog!!
I would love to have my kitchen remodeled. It is 24 years old. We are waiting for our last kid to finish college so we will have money to renovate…
You’re making me choose between a bathroom and a kitchen remodel? But that’s impossible! Haha, I’d probably take a kitchen remodel over a bathroom one. I like to cook and I’d like an open kitchen.
On the other hand, I love taking long, soak-till-I’m-all-pruny baths, so a bathroom remodel sounds nice too!
Definitely a kitchen remodel. Not only because mine desperately needs one haha but also because according to feng shui, the kitchen is the most important part of the house so it needs more attention. Happy holidays, Karen!! xoxo
I actually do have a pretty free day (other than doing laundry) and I am watching cheesy made-for-tv holiday movies. I love the Hallmark, Lifetime, and ABCFamily ones!
I did laundry all day. It was no fun. Today I also learned that my fair skin looks terrible when I wear yellow eye shadow.
I’m eagerly anticipating the birth of lil baby girl! <3

I live in an apt and screened my porch in for my 2 cats, but if I could I would like to have it screened in professionally.
Merry Christmas Karen, Tabs, El Hub, & baby girl!! Winning the Sephora gift card would be awesome as it’s my birthday in 3 days and that would be an awesome birthday gift!! 😀
I actually prefer bar soap over shower gel! It wasn’t something I noticed until college, when I was the only one out of my roommates who used soap. Tried to make the switch to shower gel but I found that I always ended up using too much and going through the bottle too quickly!
I don’t snore, but sister (who is also my roommate) does, haha.
I would choose the bathroom remodel!
I finally finished my Xmas shopping today. I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas!
I only snore when I am really tired and really sick with a flu or something hehe
I do have a bar of soap in my shower! I have very dry, pretty sensitive skin and the simple Dove bar treats it best.
I would love a kitchen remodel. There’s enough room to do something fun, as opposed to the bathroom, where no matter what we would do, it could never be amazing. Perhaps in another house, someday!
No bars of soap for me…all bottles!
How would you like to spend your day today if you had no chores, deadlines or responsibilities? Hmmm…I actually didn’t have much to do today so I read most of the day (a little bit of cleaning doesn’t really count I think).
Do you snore? I don’t think so.
Is there a bar of soap in your shower, or is everything in a bottle? Yes. I did some traveling last year and found liquids and TSA irritating. So I’ve been looking into solids and started with bar soap–which is difficult bc most make my skin itch. I like Cerave’s but am not a fan of the scent (but it doesn’t linger so I might repurchase). Cetaphil’s scent just makes me gag. Going to try Vanicream’s next.
Which would you rather have: a bathroom remodel or a kitchen remodel? Bathroom. Our kitchen doesn’t need much work
If I could do anything, I would just lay out on the beach near warm clear waters. With a margarita and some guac and chips please!
My favorite brown eyeshadow is snakebite by Urban Decay. Merry Christmas!
If I had a day with no chores or responsibilities I’d spend the day online shopping, browsing Pinterest, and watching guilty pleasure t.v. 😉
wow this just made me realize that I haven’t used a bar of soap in over a decade!!! All body wash for me! 🙂 can’t wait to see what your little ones name is!
I wish I had been seeing Star Wars today! But instead I had to read up because I have a big interview day tomorrow with UNR – its an intense 4 hour process and I really want this job! Wish me luck! 🙂

Dove soap in my shower forever. Timeless classic.
I would pick a bathroom remodel over a kitchen remodel.
If I had no chores or responsibilities for a day, I would spend it watching scary movies with my daughter….she’s my partner in crime for this!
There is a bar of soap in my shower – my husband hates body wash or anything like that.
How would you like to spend your day today if you had no chores, deadlines or responsibilities? Reading a book!
Do you snore? Yep, apparently, according to my sleep app.
Is there a bar of soap in your shower, or is everything in a bottle? There’s a little sliver in a mesh scrubby bag.
Shh! You didn’t hear it from me, but lots of makeup brands are way overpriced.
What’s your favorite brown eyeshadow? Mac Soft Brown.
Which would you rather have: a bathroom remodel or a kitchen remodel? At the moment, bathroom, but there’s no real way they can do much because of how small my condo is.
I just have to buy a few stocking stuffers and I will be DONE!!
I do not snore but sometimes I talk in my sleep!
I don’t snore (unless I’m sick) but I do wear a retainer when I sleep and it makes me breath kind of heavy because it keeps my mouth open weird. My husband says its like sleeping with Darth Vader :)).
I snore when I’m exhausted and apparently I talk in my sleep sometimes 😐
I have my eyes on a few lipsticks but I only can get them from some US websites and the current Canadian to U.S exchange really sucks, which makes buying anything from the US ultra expensive.
I would be on Netflix all day and eat ramen!
Happy holidays!!
I definitely snore! I kept my family awake with my snoring before!
I don’t snore but my friend does and she’s staying at my place for the next couple of weeks!
If you could change something about yourself what would it be?
Mele Kalikimaka Karen! It’s a blustery mess outside right now (gonna get up to 60 mph gusts….’scuse me?)downed trees landing on peoples cars and power lines so low you can play jump rope with them, but, when you’re out….you’re OUT! Not recommended in my book. Anywho, ever since your review on the Chanel 88 Noir Intense, I’ve been a BIIG fan! IT’S TRUE! ALL OF IT! Lurve my liner now, getting all in the waterline and lash line…YESSS. So here’s a question for ya…how do you keep your tip sharp? I need a leetle more point for my tippie if ya know what I mean. Stay well and give Tabs a kissy for me. Fuzzbutt my one and only says Ameooooow-ha!
I really really hope I don’t snore!!! 🙂
what to do this christmas?
Once in a while I like a luxe bar of soap, but mostly I looove shower gel!!
Noooo, I don’t snore!! But I talk in my sleep 🙂
If I had no chores I would make sure my mom or grandmother needed anything then if not watch some movies or catch up on some shows! Love you
Bottles all the way!
I don’t snore (thank god!), in fact, I’m so quiet when I’m asleep, that one holiday when I stayed with my family in a house with only twin-beds, everyone took turns to sleep beside me to have a good night’s sleep 😀 (The others did snore. I don’t mind.)
I will at least do a few dishes, but my husband and I are set to see Star Wars after I drop the kiddo at school. Hope it’s good!
I would rather have a bathroom remodel than a kitchen remodel. And if I were off work today and had no responsibilities, I would spend the day chillin in my pajamas with my twin daughters, playing Neko Atsume (cat collecting game) on my iphone, and eating pizza and breadsticks. Just spending quality relaxing time with my girls.
Happy Monday!
I’m so excited because I’m signing up for my classes for this upcoming semester, and one of my classes is putting me on track to getting my teaching credentials. I’m so pumped to become a high school teacher, but the wait is killing me!
I don’t usually snore, but I do talk in my sleep. My fiance *usually* thinks it is cute.
I would love a whole house remodel, but if I had to choose between kitchen and bathroom, I’d pick bathroom since I spend more time in there than the kitchen.
I would love to spend the day watching youtube videos and reading blogs, but I have work to do! Like always, thanks for holding this giveaway! 🙂

How would you like to spend your day today if you had no chores, deadlines or responsibilities?: Knitting this amazing Star Wars the Force Awakens hat for my boyfriend.

I have a bar of soap and body wash…I usually use the bar of soap first to feel clean then I use my body wash as a treat!
You better believe there is a bottle of soap and glory! It’s my fav!
I have a Lush solid shampoo in my shower. Does It count as a bar soap?
I saw Star Wars last saturday. Love it so much!!!
I’d love to just watch the TV shows I have recorded or read books all day. With some junk food of course!
It is supposed to be the slowest week of the year, Yet I am working on some crazy deadlines.
I’m so excited for this Christmas because it’s the first one my daughter, now two, kinda knows what’s going on and I’m so excited to see her face Christmas morning.
I snore like a bear!!!
I would love a bathroom remodel. I still have carpet in my bathroom. Gross!
I don’t know if I should get an ipad mini or a Charlotte Tilbury set.
Decisions, decisions…..
I would like kitchen remodel because mine is small & I like big
I refuse to believe I snore.
So excited that we get off early on Weds and don’t return till Jan 4th!!! Yay!!! And yes, I used to snore with my allergies and sinus problems. But hubby says I’m a lot better since I bought one of those wedge pillows. I put my contour pillow on top of it and sleep like a baby, and quietly, too. Meow to Tabs! And sorry about the wet belly. Every time Simba drinks water, he gets his chest all wet. Not sure how he manages that, but he doesn’t like it, either. Have a good one!!
I always use bar soaps, I love the presentation and smell of all these body shower gels but I find it easier to use a bar of soap
Bathroom remodel! I made peace with my tiny kitchen, but being able to organize my pharmacy, beauty and cosmetic products would definitely be nice… not to mention makeup 😉
I use bars of soap! love them
MY FAVORITE BROWN EYE SHADOW TOO MANY TO MENTION BUT MY TOPS:
NARS GALAPAGOS
MAC ANTIQUED
MAC BROWN DOWN
MAC CHARCOAL BROWN
THANK YOU AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS : )
I love sephora I bought glam glow power cleanse cleanser today from there !
How would you like to spend your day today if you had no chores, deadlines or responsibilities? I soooo need it. If I get a day off, I would watch tv with some popcorn, pizza until my eyes hurt and then sleep like a pig.
I only snore when I am extremely tired…lol
I can’t pick a favorite brown shadow, but one of my favorite palettes in the Too Faced original chocolate bar!
I’m so excited for the bon bons one! 🙂
I love Clinique’s eye shadow! It has the best stay on power! I don’t go a day without it!
In the shower we have a soap bar because my father doesn’t like shower gel.
i’m $46 away from VIB so this would definitely come in handy!!
I usually use body wash, but my shower currently has a bar of Frosted Cranberry soap from The Body Shop!
Happy Holidays, Karen & fam!

Everything in bottles for me! I’m not a fan of bar soap…too slippery!
I bought my house for its fab kitchen, so I would remodel my bathroom with a giant jetted tub.
The perfect day of relaxation for me would be a cliche. A long hot bath and a good book to read while cuddling my cat 😀
I snore like NO OTHER.
I would love a bathroom remodel. I’m not into cooking so the kitchen can just stay the way it is.
Thanks so much for the giveaway Karen, I hope you and your family have a nice holiday!
My favorite brown eyeshadow…I think it would have to be Urban Decay’s Smog. It’s so beautiful and has so much depth. You can wear it softly smudged as a liner for an everyday look or smoked out all over the lid for tons of drama, and the shimmer keeps it from looking flat.
I don’t snore — when I’m awake! 😉
And everything in my shower is in a bottle. In fact, I think they’re all in bottles with pumps.
everything is in bottles in my bathroom:)
I do have a bar of soap in the shower lol
it’s lush’s reindeer rock. smells so yummy!
I made it in time!
I am 27 weeks pregnant so March is going to be a big month for me as well! This gift card be a great present for me before baby is due! Thanks!!
Me and my Mr just recently bought a house in London. It was such a struggle as it was difficult enough to even find/ get one. But I absolutely love it and it’s our dream house. There was not a lot of work we had to do to the house at all as the previous owners took very good care of the house. If we have some spare money, I do want the kitchen and bathroom redone though.
