It’s usually Coco Mademoiselle, but I’ve been reaching for Chloe more often lately.
I was always scared to death of the ocean until I took swim and surf lessons back in 2002; now I’m much more comfortable in the water.
A blue, green, yellow and white button-down plaid shirt that hides my muffin top oh-so-skillfully 🙂
MAC Studio Fix Lash Mascara/MAC Lychee Luxe Lipglass/MAC Ombre Blush in Ripe Peach with MAC Cream Colour Base in Hush
Two things: 1) going to the symphony last Friday night and 2) sleeping in on both Saturday *and* Sunday.
Yay! — only if they’re in a sold color and I’m wearing platforms; otherwise, I look like a kid playing dress-up in grownup clothes.
Twice. Once when I was in high school, when my brother and I painted my room but made the mistake of not cracking a window before we started. By the time we’d finished, we were both cuckoo for Coco Puffs on paint fumes! The second time was about 10 years ago in my first place in SF. The color? seafoam green.
Old Navy Diva jeans, a black t-shirt and zip-up hoodie.
Remember to live “in the moment,” make an appointment to get my roots done, refrain from eating junk food and work through 30 Day Shred at least twice this week
Wake up, buttercup! How you doin’? I’m still waiting for this tea to kick in, so ye olde mental cylinders aren’t quite up to 100% yet… I should be good in about a half an hour or so. 🙂

face! I’ve never had a problem with spotting until I started using a Bobbi Brown moisturizer and now I have some crazy dry spots on either side of my nose right under my dark circles – my concealer gets caught up in it like cray-cray!!! I immediately went back to my old regime but thats such an area that I can’t really exfoliate since it’s so sensitive so I guess it’s just slather on the eye cream, and do some nightly massaging?

Catherine says
Man! My Monday’s been kinda crazy so far I almost totally forgot about the poll!

New job is shaping up. I get to interview my favorite boss as part of our study. I haven’t seen him in a couple of years and it’ll be good to catch up.

9. Outfit: Skinny jeans, beige sweater and coral tank top
