Not quite awake yet (*yawn*), but I’m gettin’ there. 🙂
It depends. There have been times when “it was on” and I’ve flourished, and other times in which I’ve cracked miserably.
El Hub… oh, wait, it might’ve been Tabs. Have I mentioned that I’m not quite awake yet?
Green tea with squeezes of Meyer lemon and honey. I hope it kicks in soon!
It’s a mostly Tokidoki day: The Bastardino eyeshadow palette with MAC Technakhol in Uniform, Prisma Lipgloss in Monkey Pirate/Benefit Sugarbomb with a dash of MAC Cream Colour Base in Hush
Casablanca. It’s not a puppies-and-rainbows love story, but I like how the characters, thrown into extreme circumstances, put the safety and happiness of the ones they love before their own.
The $6 Sonia Kashuk Bent Eyeliner Brush (it’s the bomb dizzle, yo!)
Milk chocolate as far as candy, but semi-sweet for chocolate chip cookies
Jeans and a plaid button-up shirt
Attack the treadmill at least three times (thrice!), finish my work by 6 every afternoon, eat more salads and get to bed by a decent hour
Haaay, boo! Happy Monday. Are you well rested and ready to tackle the week? Don’t worry — you don’t have to answer if you’re not (it is Monday, after all). 🙂

Marce says
Hi Karen! How are you? How was your Easter? LOL at the lipgloss you’re wearing today! Monkey Pirate 😀
1. Mood: Hopeful
2. Are you good under pressure?: I um…don’t think so. I get really nervous and start stammering. Unless it’s something to do with health, I’m quite sharp then.
3. Who was the last person you smooched?: Thankfully, a man. LOL.
4. Breakfast beverage?: Green tea with mint and lemon and honey. Cold is kicking in, so it’ll be hot beverages for me!
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Nothing yet, I’ve yet to shower. But since I’ve gotta go out this arvo, I think I’ll be doing Nylon e/s & black mascara, peachy pink lips and peachy cheeks.
6. Your favorite love story?: I read a book by Isabel Allende some time ago, I can’t remember the name but it would have to be that one. A journalist and a photographer who fall in love while researching a crime during the Chilean dictatorship.
7. Last boat-rocking makeup or beauty find under $10?: Under U$S10 is so difficult to find here! So nothing.
8. Milk chocolate, semi-sweet, dark or white?: Anything but white. Ew. That is so not chocolate, just cocoa butter = fat. For cooking, semi-dark, for eating, milk chocolate.
9. Outfit: PJ’s and an Adidas hoody. But I’ll get changed in a few!
10. Weekly goals: Walk a bit every day, workout at least 3 times, work on my blog and new project, keep up the job search, paint a bit.

Hi Marce,
I had a great Easter, thanks! How was yours?
Oh, and I totally bought Monkey Pirate solely for the name. 🙂
Marce says
Mine was great, thanks! My sisters boyfriend and his family came over for a BBQ, which was delicious! BBQ’d red capsicum is fantastic, have you tried it? Yum! And my garlic bread turned out amazing, if I may say so myself 😀
LOL, I’d totally get it too! Is the colour pretty? I’d love to see what it looks like! Ohhh and have you read about MAC’s new lipglass formula? I imagine it to be like a galaxy in a tube, since there’s no actual glitter particles…sort of holographic. I hope they’re pretty! (And not dazzleglass priced!)

Hey Karen,
What topsy-turvy 24 hours…..last night Hubster found one of our cats, Tigger (my grey tabby that I’ve had since 8 weeks old) DEAD in our basement. It appears to have been from natural causes, but he was only 8 years old. I am devistated beyond imagine. Please keep us in your thoughts, as we are trying to keep his brother, Sugar (also had since 8wks) close at hand and well loved!
So with al the upheaval, I’m gonna skip questions this Monday.
Karen says
Hey Donna,
I’m so very sorry for your family’s loss. My heart goes out to you.
NINA says
I am so sorry for your loss. Hang in there!!!
Meghan says
i am so sorry to hear about the loss of your cat. the loss of a pet is a very hard thing to deal with. animals are so innocent and loving. i will be thinking of your family and sugar as well
Liz says
Terribly sorry to hear of your loss, Donna. We lost our beloved gray tabby 3 years ago and he was only 9 y/o. We still have his sister who’ll soon turn 13. Big hugs to all of you incl. Sugar – hang in there.
Hannah says
I’m so sorry. We lost our 1-year old kitten last year and our entire family was devastated. His sister was upset too. It’s an awful thing to go through and I hope you all feel better. Lots of hugs to y’all.
