Hi Jess,
Hosseini’s first novel, Kite Runner is one of my favorite books of all time; part of it is cause the area where they relocate in the SF Bay Area is basically where I gerw up. A Thousand Splendid Suns is also great — albeit a bit depressing. I hope enjoy it.

Hi Tiffany,
Good for you for going to work out! I am gonna try to squeeze in a run before we go to dinner tonight.
Congrats on your anniversary as well! It’s funny, I was sooo stressed out right before the wedding, and I think enough time has passed to make me all nostalgic for the whole process once more. Really, I think I just want to wear the pretty white dress again, LOL.

Hi Brittany,
I saw that scent on the B&BW site today. It totally looks like something I would like. I can’t wait to smell it!

“When did that Chanel lipstick come into your life? How are you liking it?”
Last week – Grace and I headed for Macy’s after reading your Chanel Fall release review. I didn’t absolutely LOVE anything from the new line, especially since they didn’t have any testers yet. Boo! So, I started checking out some of their other stuff and instantly fell in love with Waikiki and Antigua. So, they’re my new babies. I’m in love.

Hi Glosslizard,
Thanks, girlie!
Shoot, you just reminded me that I need to get the Cabana Crush shade. Ahhh! I will wear it before summer’s end, mark my words!
Did ya get your French coffee press? Mmm, coffee.
Karen says
Hi Megan,
That scent from Bobbi Brown always makes me happy. Hope your lips are feeling better today… 🙂
Karen says
Hi Beth,
Thank you so much for the anniversary wishes!
BTW, I was rocking out to Phil Collins while washing dishes yesterday. “Billy! Billy don’t you lose my number!” Ahh, good times, the 80s.
Karen says
Hi Dao,
Happy Birthday to you, dearest! Wow, you are now officially in your 20s. You have so much to look forward to, and I’m really happy for you. 🙂
Hope you had a wonderful birthday and that you feel extra special and loved.
Karen says
Hi Nosh,
Thank you! 🙂 Good luck studying this week, and I hope that pimple on your cheek makes a quick exit (been there, done that!).
BTW, are you a Kenzo fan? I’m kinda liking Amour…
Karen says
Hi Holly!
You’re back! It’s great to hear from you, although I’m sad your trip is over. But hey, at least you get to take a shower. 🙂
How was it? What was the best part?
Karen says
Hi Arianne,
Thank you, sweetie! I am a mushy person too; you are not alone in that department. 🙂
How long have you and the BF been together? A promise ring sounds pretty serious!
Karen says
Hi Elle,
Thank you, m’dear. I learned yesterday that there are three: cotton, fine China and garnets. Can I just say I’m really stoked about the fine China part? It’s so weird, but I’ve totally become obsessed with it in the last year, LOL.
BTW, thanks for the book recommendation. I put it on my ginormous reading list!
Karen says
Hi Rachel,
Thank ya! 🙂 How’s the diet business going this week? It’s so hard to lose weight, I know, but you can do it!
That’s cool that you’re a history nerd. My best guy bud is currently in school to be a history professor!
Karen says
Hi Daya,
Awww, girlie! Your sweetie is coming home! That’s so great!
Have you packed yet? How many days left to go?
Karen says
Hi Laurie,
How was the concert? (And how do you feel about Jen dating John?)
Totally random true story: I saw J. Mayer live years ago just before he became famous; he smiled directly at me when he was on stage, and I swear to gawd I almost swooned. I didn’t imagine it, either — my homegirl was with me and she totally confirmed that it actually did happen, LOL.
Anyhoo, I gotta get through tons of emails too! My inbox has taken over my life.
Karen says
Hi Jeannie,
Thanks hon! Have a great week.
Karen says
Hi Alli,
Yay! I happy to hear that you are in love! 🙂
What makeup look did you end up going for?
Karen says
Hi Laura B,
I feel your pain about the frizz bomb (welcome to my world). Hope the hot water situation gets fixed soon!
Have a wonderful week!
BTW, what’s your fave pigment?
Karen says
Hi Iheartmakeup!
THANK YOU! You are such a sweetie. I can’t wait until the day when you’ll be telling me about your anniversary. 🙂
Girl, do you ever get any time off from school? 😉 I’ll send you some good writing vibes for your paper!
Karen says
Hi Anna,
I really love that song! I can listen to it over and over again, and it always makes my heart feel light and happy.
Hope you have a great week!
Karen says
Hi Vivien,
Thank you, darlin! LOL, seems like the Sonic Chic craving is making the rounds!
And yes, Cosmo counts if Us Weekly counts. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Brittany,
That’s a good plan! And waiting gives you soooo much more time to plan and save some money, right? Have you made it to the bridal magazines stage? 🙂
Karen says
Hi Victoria,
Your hair sounds cute! How long was it before you cut it?
I finally got mine cut today and it’s a huge relief. It was really out of control.
Karen says
Hi Bella,
That’s so weird! I just watched that Harry Potter movie for the second time yesterday. I always cry when Cedric dies… 🙁
Good luck dress shopping. I hope you find something cute!
Karen says
Hi Babyu21,
Thank you, hon. 🙂 I hope you find a wonderful man, one who understands you, who believes and supports your dreams, and who makes you laugh!
Get goin’ on the job search, lady! You can do this!
Karen says
Hi Aleks,
Thank you, my friend. 🙂 It’s been a wonderful adventure with him, and I can’t wait to see where it goes.
Now I want some pancakes, too… if you ever go to Hawaii you have to let me know so I can give you the name and directions to this local diner that makes the best pancakes! They serve ’em with this amazingly rich macadamia nut sauce! *drools*
Girl, you’re such a night owl! Get some sleep. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Morgan,
It’s great to meet you. 🙂 Glad you decided to say hi! Regarding the highlighter trick on the inner corners — that’s a good one. Which one are you thinking of getting? I like to use powder shadow, too, to get the brightening effect!
Karen says
Hi Jana,
Thanks, hon! I hope you have a great week and that good things happen to you. Take care. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Ale,
I hope you are feeling better today. Keep your chin up, and try to stay strong and positive. Sending ya good vibes… 🙂
Karen says
Hi Tuprnut,
Wow! I don’t have either of those shades but now I’m thinking I must look into it (after all, it’s called Waikiki! I can’t say no!).
Don’t you love taking that tube out and seeing the C’s? Ahhh, heavenly.
Congrats to you on your upcoming 5 years. *raises tea cup*
Karen says
Hi Lindsay,
Thank you. 🙂 You go with your martial arts self! That’s so cool.
OMG – you said the magic words, loco moco! Whenever I order them I always ask for the gravy on the side and people always look at me like I’m craaaaazy.
Karen says
Hi Susan,
Thank you! 🙂 If you pick up that mascara let me know. I’m waffling back and forth between getting it (the blue looks really cool).
Have a great week!
Karen says
Hi Mariah,
I love that song… I’m so gonna watch that movie again (maybe a few times) before the summer is over.
Karen says
Hi Marisol,
Thank you! 🙂
Holy cow that’s hot! I certainly don’t miss that triple digit heat (“but it’s dry heat”, LOL).
Stay cool and have fun with that check, WOOT!
Karen says
Hi Louise Gray,
Thank you. 🙂 One of these days you’ll have to sit down and tell me your story. I bet it’s a good one. 34 years, wow…
I think I’m the only one who hasn’t smelled Rainkissed leaves?I’m so on that this weekend.
Karen says
Hi Miss QQ,
Thank you, sweets! LOL, yup, I think beauty blogs count. 🙂 Hope you got through today okay. Thursday is right around the corner!
Karen says
Hi Roxy,
Oh no! Take care of yourself, okay? Drink lots of water, get sleep, etc. It’s not fun to be sick and do papers.
And thanks for the happy anniversary thoughts. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Brenda,
Thank you. 🙂 I’m glad to hear that you’re feeling better. Have a good week, okay?
Karen says
Hi Karen B.,
Well, for sure you’ll have to get Delight from the fall release. And there’s lovely Pink Crystal (it’s not too disco, I promise). Muguet is a good one too!
Yay, congrats on finishing!
Karen says
Hi Rowena,
Hey, I need that book! And I hope you catch those folks that owe you money. 🙂
Karen says
Hi Tania,
No worries! This blog is always open for business!
Good luck on the moving… that’s never fun. You’ll be done soon, though, I hope. How do you like your new place?
Karen says
Hi Lexi,
I love that entire CD by No Doubt! It’s a great one. How’s your hair looking? What did you get done to it?
I finally got mine cut today and I’m super happy. 🙂
Gotta say, your goal was probably one of my faves. I hope she comes out soon!
Holly says
Hi Karen,
It was amazing!! I had such a good time, far better than I expected!
The best part without a doubt was watching Mark Ronson who was incredible!! Its hard to believe that one single person can be so musically talented!!
The worst part however was definately being so cold I feared death every night haha!
Laurie says
Karen,
Wow – a look from JM? I’m jealous:) He has really gotten cute this past year – I am really digging his short-haired look. He is so intense, talented and witty – the concert was awesome.
I think Jen is a lucky girl and they seem to be going strong – she’s following him on some of his tour spots. Girl deserves a break – she totally got the short end of the stick with Brad and it doesn’t help that he’s popping out babies left and right!
Happy hump-day!
