Hyper! I had to get up early (5:45) and have already downed four huge mugs of green tea. I’m practically vibrating in my chair…
MAC Nymphette Lipglass for color, Clinique Superbalm in Grapefruit for moisture and the Chanel Aqualumieres because they’re Chanel!
My ability to stick to routines and strict schedules… Not strong points for me. I’m very go-with-the-flow, which is great for adventure but not so great when it comes to time management.
Not! I don’t like kissing scratchy facial hair.
I’m wearing neutral smokey eyes (ha, what else is new?) with pink cheeks and lips. Eyes: Estee Lauder Michael Kors Eyeshadow in Blonde Mink, MAC Technakohl Liner in Graphblack, Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden. Lips: MAC Lip Pencil in Trimmed in Pink, MAC Cremesheen Glass in Petite Indulgence. Cheeks: Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Blush in Walk of Shame.
Exploring the outdoors here in Novato. I’m told there’s lots of places to hike and bike here. I’ll just have to remember to load up on the Zyrtec beforehand, LOL!
Remembering ’80s pop music lyrics!
Hmm, this is a tough one. Right now I’m really loving on the MAC Technakohl liners (so easy to use!), but MAC Kohl in Powersurge and MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack are both old standbys.
Dark stretch skinny jeans, a black button-up sweater, black platform sandals and multiple layers o’ faux pearls.
Create a schedule and actually stick to it, clean the bathroom (blech!), smile more often, and ease up on the chocolate (did I mention I live five minutes away from a See’s Candies?!)
There are Mondays that greet me with a sense of dread, and then there are days like today, where I feel pretty darn good. I hope your day got off to a good start. If not, I hope it takes a turn for the better. 🙂
Mondays mean a fresh start, a clean slate, and who knows where the week will take us?
Granted, my temporary feeling of Monday euphoria could also be ’cause I’ve consumed massive amounts of caffeine, but, hey, I’m just gonna go with it!

Toni says
Thanks for asking, Karen! My son has autism and he’s going through a rough time right now, and my hubby has had to travel more lately too. Plus, all that paper clutter doesn’t help! LOL!
Karen says
Hang in there, Toni. Things will get smoother for you and your family… there is a flipside to the rough patches (one hard lesson I learned from last year).
And soon you’ll be able to reward yourself with some makeup, which, while a small thing, always counts for a little bit o’ joy.

Meghan says
karen-
what do you think of the MUFE HD blushes? I remember a few weeks ago I saw them on the sephora website, i believe they just became available in the USA and i was like “i bet karen will prob buy a few of those soon!”
Karen says
I got a two wee samples (#4 and #6), and I *just* started testing ’em today. One thing they’re both pretty darn good at is merging right the skin. You know how sometimes liquid blushes look like they’re sitting on top and you can totally see the edges? These don’t do that. The color is *very* natural too, which should be nice for photos and HD.
I’m gonna keep track of the wear time today… I’ve had #4 on for 3 hours and it still looks pretty good. I hope it doesn’t slip off!
Let me know if you have any more questions about it!
Tania says

Karen says
Do you put salt in your chocolate chip cookies? I have a friend who swears that’s the secret kickass ingredient!
Steph B says
I do put salt in them, use muscovado sugar for a caramel tone, and brown the butter. The combo is heaven. I also like to make the dough ahead of time, portion it out, and freeze before I bake. This way the outer crust sets before the middle melts and spreads. You get a great chewy cookie. Plus, I get to make a cookie or two whenever the mood strikes.

Hi Rachael!
Wow, you’re really doing it up for St. Patty’s. Are you Irish?
Rachael says
Irish and Scottish. I love my red hair, and I also got elected to be the Leprechaun at the party because of my extreme amount of energy and mostly my red hair. I’m alright with that. It’s helping me decide if making clothes are my thing. If it is, I’m changing my major at University lol.
