On fire My tea just kicked in!
Without makeup I would probably look really, really tired all the time, and more people would call me ma’am.
A pair of J. Brand 811 skinny jeans and a tie-dyed pink Roxy hoodie. It’s a little loud, but it’s comfy, warm and I like how it makes me feel.
1) I long to play the accordion, 2) before I met Tabs I didn’t consider myself a cat person, and 3) I cannot stand Butterfinger candy bars.
Other than getting all of my work done, I’d like to take Tabs for a long walk, stop by Trader Joe’s, and make it to the Post Office before it closes this afternoon.
These are in no particular order: Silver Spoons, The Cosby Show, Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters, Thundercats…and that’s just the tip of the TV iceberg, for reals! I was raised on a steady diet of television.
I tried once when I was seven; I fell onto the pavement and sprained my arm. So I guess the short answer is “No.”
More hours in the day! To sleep well every single night. Someone to clean my house from floor to ceiling for me. More patience. To go on a long vacation. To lose 15 pounds.
I like the cheesy ones best (a la zombies at the mall), but I can’t hang with the real-deal horror ones — the exorcisms and Catholic priests ones. In those I’ve usually got my eyes covered with one hand while I clutch my rosary with the other.
Get a gel seat for my bicycle (the one I have now is KILLING MY BUM!), sniff Bath & Body Works’ new Dark Kiss and Forever Sunshine scents, and find a hydrating eye cream that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg (any suggestions?).
What it do, boo? Can you believe it’s already Monday?
Mondays are like acid washed jeans… Just when you think they’re gone for good, they stage a comeback.
Do you have a minute to take the Monday Poll (I hope so)? If you do, just grab the following list, and paste it with your answers in the comments.

My in-laws are coming to visit from Hawaii and they’re staying with us for most of August, so that should be fun. El Hub doesn’t see them often and is very close to them, so he’s looking forward to it.

Without makeup I would be: Asked if I’ve still got that flu from the last time I didn’t wear makeup and people thought I was ill. I’m NW20 (25 in summer) with light blue eyes that look bleary, lost, and sick without mascara. With eyeshadow I fully reach the Land of the Healthy Awake.
Staple pieces of wardrobe: Hmmm, hard to say. Athleisure or little black dress with heels. My daughter says that I don’t really do casual; it’s more dressed up than others.
3 things you’d never know about me: Yes, i was not a cat-person until 2 Burmese-Siamese cats got abandoned in the property behind me. Now I own 2 beagles and 2 little adorable cats. The dogs get the house and the back half of the property; the cats get the big garage and the front half. Encounters have not been pleasant.
What I “need” to get done today: Seriously, revisions on a writing project . Actually, go to the mall and see if UD Naked is at Sephora. I ordered online for dear daughter, and when I saw it, well, gulp, I wanted one too.
Favorite tv shows from childhood: Get ready for time warp 7: The Fugitive, The Tom Jones Show, The Dean Martin Show (male singers were a biggie); The Man From U.N.C.L.E. That Girl, and Bonanza (I liked Pa). Wayyyy too much tv in my home of origin.
Can I skateboard? Yes, although it has been decades for me and a long way away from here. As I told my children, I did things as a child which I would never have allowed them to even try (skating on frozen ponds at night), but most of those things are so regulated now that they couldn;t have attempted them. But yes, I was a good skateboarder back in the day (late 1960s) when the board was a thin wooden board. I think a nephew grabbed it when I went away to university.
I really want: the Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini but I can’t justify that much for a purse. The practical side of me wins out every time I budget for it, and I end up buying clothes or things for the house .
Horror movies: Horrors, no!
Weekly goal: Get my writing done; do a bit more yoga; yardwork;.
Karen says
Hi Gisele,
Something sorta similar happened with Tabs… he adopted me. 🙂 What are the names of your cats?
Gisele says
Annabelle is the black cat with jadite green eyes; Gabrielle is the white cat who is a lot less white now than when I took her in; she has blue eyes and taupe and champagne markings. The gal in the house behind us was a real piece of work. When a neighbor told me that she was moving (got re-po’d), my first response was, “She’d better take those cats.” Two weeks later the white one showed up in fetal position on my rock wall, so I gave her water and a little tuna.
“Blackie,” as Annabelle (my hubby calls her Annabella) was once called (or John Robie, the cat, from “To Catch a Thief) turned her nose up at the “set-up.” I had to go to the top of our property where she was hiding in underbrush and inform her that she now belonged to me and that there are certain parts of the social contract which she must follow. Long story, short, two years later Annabella is the charming, sociable cat who comes when called and Gabrielle is still finicky and meowy. But they have each got me wrapped around their long, flicking tails.
Karen says
I can’t believe people just up and leave their animals behind. It’s so cruel.
Both your girls sound like wonderful cats. They are so lucky to have adopted you! 🙂

Get a facial to calm my stressed-out skin, pay for a short course I am attending early September, get a pedicure, clean my room thoroughly, be less stressed out, plan for a brief holiday.
BTW, I’m using The Body Shop’s Moisture White Shiso Eye Cream since I have some dark eye circles, and it seems to be working well for me. Although I’m also not lazy and massage the cream around my eyes (In about 20 rotations) day and night, so perhaps that’s why lol
Karen says
Hi Stephanie,
Thanks for the eye cream rec. Do you think it might be good for very dry eyes? My under-eye area is like the Sahara.
Stephanie/Yukaeshi says
My under-eye area is pretty dry too, and it’s the best I’ve used so far to be honest. Tried a few other drugstore brands like Olay as well, but haven’t tried high-end brands haha!
Karen says
Good to know. I have no idea why my skin is freaking out! Dry skin is a big PIA.
Stephanie/Yukaeshi says
I totally understand how you feel! My skin’s been flaky and dry as well for absolutely no reason, and I haven’t been trying out new stuff 🙁

Karen says
Have fun going shopping with your mom. Where are you two headed?
Lily says
Hi Karen,
I am using Skyn Iceland eyecream in the click-pen form. It’s very light weight and good for de-puffing. It doesn’t do much for my uder-eye shadow, though. I usually just use my origins a perfect world for my eyes, too…
Karen says
Thanks for the rec, Lily!
The click-pen form sounds really handy… I wish more eye creams had that style of packaging.
Kelly says

Karen says
I didn’t know you played flute! I did too. Let’s do a duet, LOL!
Kelly says
Yeah it was my idea to start, then after a year when I got tired of it and wanted to quit, my mom wouldn’t let me unless I switched to something else. I choose piano. 🙂
Karen says
Do you still play? I only do it if I’m alone.
Stef says

4. Three things you’d (probably) never guess about me: I’m naturally very very shy but work constantly on overcoming it, and most of my friends are shocked to know that, I’m a big softie and boo-hoo at songs, commercials, movies, alllll the time, I wanna be a girly girl (Miss Piggy is my idol) but the time it takes to do all that is a dealbreaker!
5. What would you like to get done today? Figure out a healthy and tasty dinner for the family. And I really really need to mop the kitchen floor.
6. What were your favorite TV shows when you were a kid? Scooby Doo! It’s still my favorite!

10. Weekly goals: Get the Urban Decay Nudes Palette! Clean the house so we can go on vacation, exercise daily.
Karen says
Hi Stef,

3. What are some staple pieces in your wardrobe? Jeans, camisole tops to go under everything, “soft” clothes (I shop by feel as much as by look!), boots, sandals
4. Three things you’d (probably) never guess about me: 1) I’m a certified “Master Gardener” 2) I can keep up with the boys on an atv 3) I’m very old-fashioned about preserving fruits and veggies from the garden to use in the winter months (I just canned green beans this weekend)

8. I really want… my new pool put in this week…it’s postponed from last week due to LOTS of thunderstorms

10. Weekly goals: get the golf scramble for work organized and completed on Saturday, as well as working on the website redesign, and hopefully finish off the week lounging in our new pool 🙂
Karen says
Hi Susan,
I have a gardening question for you! How do you keep gophers from gobbling up your plants?
Susan says
Well, we have a built-in solution, as we built our 20 foot by 20 foot dog pen fairly close to the garden, so my big dogs throw a fit when anything ventures near it 🙂 One of my friends is having a problem though, with rabbits eating her flowers, and it was suggested to her to use something called Scat to deter them. It’s a spray of some sort which is pepper based and they don’t like the taste of it. Not sure if it is safe for veggie gardens, though… You may want to investigate.
Pansy says

2. Finish this sentence: Without makeup I would… look like 14.

Karen says
Hi Pansy,
Good for you for running today! Did you do sprints or distance?
Cat says
Have you tried the Kiehls Avocado eye cream?….its no frills, as in won’t “take away your bags or darkness” but it is straight up moisturization!I like it cause it doesn’t make its way into the eyes….although I would like to try an eyecream from Clarins, the one that has spf in it. =)
Karen says
Oh, I have that one from Clarins! It’s very good, and you barely need any of it to cover the eye area.
Thanks for the Kiehls rec. My undereye area has been so dry, and it sounds like it might help!
Chrissy says
1. Mood: Fabulous! It’s sunny, we’ll likely be blessed with a nice thunderstorm tonight, and I’m healthy! How could I not be great???
2. Finish this sentence: Without makeup I would… have to learn how to keep my skin from freaking out since concealer could no longer be a staple!

10. Weekly goals: Pray more often, spend some time playing with my current camera and researching what options I’ll need in a new one, and eNjOy LiFe! :0)
Karen says
Hi Chrissy,
What camera do you currently use, and what model are you looking at for your new one?
Chrissy says
I’ve got a Kodak DX6490 Zoom that I’ve had for about 5 or 6 years now. I’m looking to upgrade to something that gives me a little bit more manual control, but I’m not sure that I’m ready for a full-on DSLR yet! I need something versitile, that will allow me to take portraits (of special things like the cat and doggies of course! heheh) and further-away things – I love nature photography! Do you have any hints or suggestions for me to use in my camera search?
Karen says
Hi Chrissy,
Sounds like you might like the Canon G11. It’s halfway between a point-n-shoot and a full on DSLR. I talk about it here in this post:
https://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/just-for-fun/dance-like-no-ones-watching-in-the-open-thread/
Let me know if you have any questions about it! I’m happy to help.
Chrissy says
Thanks a BUNCH Karen! I’ll print off the info on the G11 and add that to my list of possibilities!!!
Karen says
You’re welcome. 🙂 Let me know if you have any Qs!
Rinnie says
1. Mood: Tired and sore. I really have to get back on a regular workout schedule instead of the sporadic workouts I do now, besides it seems that I have very little energy lately and exercise is what kept me up and going.
2. Without makeup I would… look really yellow and shiny. I’ve seen pics of me when I didn’t bother to put on even a little powder and my skin looks sallow and greasy, not to mention my tired eyes.
3. What are some staple pieces in your wardrobe? Lately it’s been s good pair of jeans with some stretch and a soft cotton T-shirt, can really go wrong with that one, unless I count the numerous mu-mus I get from my aunts and shamelessly like to wear at home because it’s comfortable.
4. Three things you’d (probably) never guess about me: Recently my BF learned of my fear of falling down escalators b/c as a kid I tripped a lot stepping onto them. I’ve lost my nerves to get on big rollarcoasters and tall rides at the amusement parks. Lastly, I actually like watching wedding shows even though I don’t plan to get married anytime soon.
5. What would you like to get done today? Walk my dog for more than 15 minutes and see my brother then get home at a reasonable time.
6. What were your favorite TV shows when you were a kid? I actually didn’t watch that many cartoons until I was a little older but I loved classic TV shows like “I love Lucy”, Gilligan’s Island” and “Gidget”.
7. Can you skateboard? Sort of… I was never good at balancing myself until my cousin taught me the proper way to skateboard, but I still only go short distances on flat surfaces only.
8. I really want… To lose 30 pounds, just like most other women in the world, but the BF hinders that with feeding me bad things and is willing to buy me the new wardobe I’ll inevitably need because he still thinks I’m “small” I think it’s a ploy so that I don’t get on him to lose weight.
9. Do you like horror movies? I like them, not love them like some of my friends, also the new ones are more about gore than horror and I find that more humorous than scary.
10. Weekly goals: Start packing up my room for my move, budget myself better when it comes to makeup.
Karen says
Hi Rinnie,
I remember watching a lot of classic TV when I was a kid too. My dad and I would watch Green Acres, Gilligan’s Island and Three’s Company… although I don’t know if that last one counts as classic, LOL!
Lady Fabulous says
1. Mood: I’m still in bed and it’s almost 1:30 pm. I LOVE VACATION!
2. Finish this sentence: Without makeup I would… simply parish *swoons and faints dead away*
3. What are some staple pieces in your wardrobe? Black skinny pants, super dark wash skinny jeans, yellow cardigan.
4. Three things you’d (probably) never guess about me: 1. I have yet to take a bite of the brownie in the fridge. 2. I have never been institutionalized 😉 3. I sprained my ankle the first time I wore flats!
5. What would you like to get done today? Nothing, I am on vacation! But I’ve already done some editing, so there goes that goal…
6. What were your favorite TV shows when you were a kid? Jem and the Holograms and She-ra Princess of Power!
7. Can you skateboard? Not without breaking much loved and needed limbs.
8. I really want… Gerard Butler to join me in bed. Wearing his Spartan outfit. *rawr*
9. Do you like horror movies? If it means watching Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, or any other brainless Starlet get butchered, most definitely.
10. Weekly goals: 1. Go to the aquarium, 2. go to the beach, 3. take loads of pictures, 4. design my website, 5. visit another country (and by visit I mean take advantage of the lower prices across the border.)
Karen says
OH SNAP! I loved Jem and Holograms. Rio really got on my nerves! How dare he try to date Jem and Jessica at the same time?!
Lindsay says
Fun! I love lists like this. 🙂
1. Mood: Overwhelmed but happy. Happy is sort of my default. I’m usually pretty upbeat which is a good thing (unless you ask my hubby who is often annoyed by it.)
2. Finish this sentence: Without makeup I would…be looking for another creative outlet. Makeup lets me express myself and try new things. I love the freedom, the colors, and especially the camaraderie of the people who also love makeup.
3. What are some staple pieces in your wardrobe? Ummm, black dress (I’m actually currently wearing), long tank tops, and black capri length yoga pants.
4. Three things you’d (probably) never guess about me: 1. I am terrified of clowns. 2. Tweezing my own eyebrows makes me nauseated to the point of gagging 3. I was raised on a farm and spent a lot of my childhood fixing fence, helping my dad put cattle back in, and riding on a tractor.
5. What would you like to get done today? I would like to spend more time working on my website. I would also like to spend some time with each of my kids one on one. Also, grocery shopping/meal planning.
6. What were your favorite TV shows when you were a kid? Boy, that’s a looooong list: Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, Smurfs
7. Can you skateboard? I haven’t tried recently but I could skateboard about 10 years ago. I couldn’t do anything terribly exciting but I could get from point a to point b without falling down or looking like a fool.
8. I really want…another long list…1. To lose a great deal of weight (probably 100+ lbs) 2. For my hubby to be able to quit his job 3. To not have to worry about money 4. One of the Urban Decay Naked Palettes 5. A large collection of MAC brushes
9. Do you like horror movies? No, they give me nightmares
10. Weekly goals: To finish the first phase of my website, to clean our house, for my hubby to finish the repair project in our bathroom, to swim at least twice. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Lindsay,
It sounds like you’ve been a makeup addict for a while. What are your favorite brands?
Lindsay says
Hi Karen!
That’s a pretty long list 😉
My very favorite makeup line is Nars. It’s my go-to line for most things. I love MAC for brushes and single eyeshadows, and Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners. Beyond that I play around a LOT with both upper end brands and drugstore brands. I have several NYX products that I love. I also always come back to Revlon Colorstay foundation no matter what other brands I try.
My 2 makeup weaknesses are: concealer and plumping lip glosses. I think because I have such ridiculously high expectations for both. 🙂 I end up buying one or the other just about every time I buy makeup.
Haley says
1. Mood: Content.. Hungry, though!
2. Finish this sentence: Without makeup I would… Be ok.. I guess.. I would miss playing with it, though.
3. What are some staple pieces in your wardrobe? Simple cardigans, classic jewelry, my Marc Jacobs purse, well-fitting linen pants (for the summer!)
4. Three things you’d (probably) never guess about me: 1) I have a secret obsession with prison documentaries/shows, I am also obsessed with having clean ears, and hate cilantro with a passion.
5. What would you like to get done today? Perhaps put away my laundry.. Realistically, watch last night’s True Blood.
6. What were your favorite TV shows when you were a kid? Comfy Couch, Sesame Street, Sailor Moon
7. Can you skateboard? Haha NO
8. I really want… Any sort of nourishment.. My stomach is rumbling.
9. Do you like horror movies? Not my favourite, don’t mind them!
10. Weekly goals: stay on track eating well, try to incorporate some athletic activity into my days.
Funny story.. To help us stay on track eating well, my mom and I have bought gifts for eachother as rewards for doing so. My mom bought me the UD Naked Palette.. We made a deal that I can’t open it until after this weekend, and only if I eat healthily. One problem–my entire family will be at my cottage for the weekend, meaning there is going to be a LOT of junk food! Its going to be a struggle. And I just want to get my hands on that palette!
Karen says
Makeup as motivation… I like it!!
Karen B says
