You know that first big yawning stretch of the morning? Doesn’t it feel glorious? Good morning, young lady! Happy Saturday from partly cloudy Novato, California, where the San Francisco Bay meets the hills of Wine Country. Judging by the many shades of green outside, we are now firmly in spring’s rejuvenating grip. 🙂
How long have you been up? I followed the tabby downstairs a few minutes ago. He pranced, of course; I just sort of ambled awkwardly down using the handrails for support. Perchance does he want gravy for breakfast? Methinks he does.
What’s on your plate for today? Is today a fun Saturday or a chores Saturday? Or a little bit of both? I haven’t figured out my game plan yet, but I have a feeling there’s something I’m supposed to do. I can’t remember what it is, though, and for once, I don’t have a list.
I feel lost without my lists…
While I make myself some toast for breakfast and open a can of Fancy Feast for my boss His Royal Highness, why don’t we kick off the weekend with a giveaway?

So disappointed that it’s going to be a gloomy day. My bf’s been working so much that I haven’t gotten to see him much in the last few weeks. We wanted to kind of get out there and make the most of today, but now I’m too bummed to even think of something to do.

Hi Karen! It is a little overcast and slightly rainy here today but that won’t stop it from being a great day. Spring is my favorite time of year because, even though the weather is very unsettled, you can see the hope of Spring. Everything is starting to turn green and buds are popping out everywhere. I am looking at my daffodils right now and they are glorious! We had a horrible winter so I really appreciate that Spring is finally here!

Hi, this is my first time posting on this awesome site and I just want to say hello to everyone and most of all Karen, just joined recently and am loving the updates!!!! please keep up all the good work, had a sh*tty day today, so a chance to enter and post at the same time is cheering me up!! An animal I would love to be is a seagul because they can fly, and because I think they have the best of both worlds, they can be inland ( walking around Dublin for instance every early morning) or they can be out at sea…………hehe, or maybe that insect that lives for a day……. Oh how that day would be great!!!!
Peggy H. says
I went to my first Sephora store last weekend and I must say that I am in LOVE! 🙂
Wishingforsomethinggoodtocomealong says

quimerula says
Alexander Skarsgard would have been the perfect Thor.
Megan says

Elisabeth says
I have my first few product reviews coming up, not having written about makeup or beauty previously, so I’ve been looking for new beauty blogs to follow for inspiration. Just had to comment that your eye makeup is amazing!
The Burt’s Bees cleansing cream you just reviewed is actually my favorite facial cleanser; I use it every day with my Clarisonic. I do find that it leaves my skin a bit dry, but if I follow with a rich moisturizer it’s usually fine.
Joe says
love to win for wife

Liz says
My favorite modern convenience is indoor plumbing. Everything else pales in comparison. 🙂
Bridgette says
I’d so be an otter. They always look like they’re having so much fun! That’s totes my kinda lifestyle. In other news…I bought a box of kumquats today at TJ’s, and I’m wondering if what the nutritional value of these little guys is. They’re quite tart, so I’m thinking they’re high in vitamin C, and tasty. I could see them being habit forming.
Maggie says
I’ve been on the hunt for a HG foundation lately. I tried a lot of popular ones: dior nude, mufe hd, tarte, mac, bobbi brown, nars, u name it. (just in case you’re curious, my favs so far are bobbi brown and nars.) but nothing has blown me out of the waters. most of them kind of separate, like pixels, on my skin after a while. been wanting to try dior airflash next, but hesitant b/c of the limited color selection and it contains butane (wouldn’t that be oily?).
mn says
It’s sooo cold here today, 42degrees, I thought it was spring 🙁
I really want to get that sonia kashuk white/blue handle brush, it seems like a preety way to start each day.
Meghan says
I looooveee animals. I think I would have to be a dog tough. Every time I take my dog to the dog park all the doggies look so happy and playful. What an awesome life to sleep all day and then be able to run around outside and play!
Valerie Brower says
My foundation color is stromboli in NARS sheer matte, but I’m in Vegas right now n have a bad sun burn so I have no idea what color I should do now lol
Nadia says
That’s my foundation shade both in Nars Sheer Glow and Matte. I just bought Nars Sheer Matte for the warmer Spring and Summer days.
Kickback says
Sweet tea surely flows through my veins!
Amy says
I love sephora!
Nikki says
looking forward to the arrival of an Essie lot I won on ebay 🙂
Marlo says
I have been following your blog and I’ve recently gotten back to using makeup brushes – – – yes I know, there was a time when I stopped using it for economic reasons. My b/f recently bought me the Eco-tool set for traveling plus I have bought three different brushes at Michael’s Art Store to add to my brush kit. I absolutely love my newly added brushes for my kit! For anyone who is interested in a good angled brush for applying liner, try the American Painter 4000 series in 1/4 angled brush…it feels nice and soft and great for applying liner!
Oh and if I could be any animal I would be a wolf! Hope your Saturday is fantastic!
Lovi says
I’m hoping to go to the chocolate festival in san francisco this weekend!

I use mat lumiere by chanel in #14 ivory, but its a little too dark for me since we’ve been in winter. I have to mix it with a pump of skin 79 diamond bb cream 🙂
kalcedon says
If I was an animal, I’m pretty sure I’d be either some type of a bird (because I wanna fly, and I’m always above the clouds… a daydreamer and really creative… maybe an owl… I love owls :D) or a cat (because I’m stubborn and I have to have my own little world :D).
Michelle says
I love sephora!!! I go their once every week…its my addiction!!!
Atifa says
If i was an animal, I would totally be an elephant. I honestly think they are the most beautiful animals, there is just something magical about them. Of course being pregnant for two years would be a downer, but aside from that, gorgeous! 🙂

Wow!! Genuinely happy that Spring seems to have like “sprung ” out by you, because over here in New York City, it is cold, windy, and extremely rainy and stormy. Seems as though April showers are still paving the way for springy May flowers! Enjoy it girl!
Nida says
I’m totally hooked on the MUFE HD (#125) + beauty blender combo right now b/c the finish it leaves on my skin = FLAWLESS! Oh, and I’m an NC 35 with slightly oily/combo skin and MUFE HD works wonders. Thanks for the giveaway! 😉

We got to meet Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell, stars of the Planet Green reality show The Fabulous Beekman Boys! They were speaking about their farm and their goats and transitioning to green living. They are lovely people! What a fun day.
Jordan says
Thanks for considering! I need a new foundation for summer 😉

Valbona Prokshi says
Today, I watched a movie. I know- it may not sound so exciting to you, but it has been forever since I got a chance to watch a movie due to many personal reasons, but today was the most emotional and beautiful day in a long time. The movie is called “The Lovely Bones”, based on a novel by Alice Sebold, and it has truly made me emotional, heart-breaking, hopeful, happy, sad, angry, all mixed together. Have you ever had that moment where you were so happy about something that you also cried like a baby? I felt the same, along with many other emotions. I choose to not give away anything of the movie in respect to those whom have not watched it, but I strongly recommend this movie to anyone. I was mesmerized. It reminded me so much of what my life was and still is and how we sometimes dream of a world we can live in but stuck in a world where we already live, with the people we love.
Grace says
Whoah! so many people! And congrats to the new Master’s! I defend my thesis on Thursday 🙂

I just got done soaking my ankle and PT exercises and am now going to bed since I have an early am performance. 🙂

It has been a long day today, so after work I made a little Sephora trip and as usual, I didn’t leave empty-handed.
So this prize would certainly come in handy 😉

Stephanie/Yukaeshi says
Anyone who says that cleansers are not important, IMO, needs to be shot :\ Forgive my rant 😛
Dermalogica has revamped their Ultracalming line last year, but it was only recently Malaysia got it. I’ve been using the Ultracalming cleanser and toner for years and it was pretty much the only cleanser and toner that has actually worked for me, and naturally I was quite excited to try the new Ultracalming line (Cleanser and toner).
Sadly, the new line did not work for me. I’ve only changed the cleanser and toner, nothing else, and it made my sensitive skin, well, sensitive. I break out easily and develop one or two really big painful pimples. It’s most upsetting 🙁
So right now I am on the lookout for a new cleanser and toner. I have my eyes set on Jurlique and REN, but can’t decide on which is better *Sigh* 🙁
Helena says
If I were an animal, I would probably be a dog…I love them, and it’s my zodiac sign 🙂
Siena says
Gotta agree with quimerula, alexander skarsgard would be a perfect thor. Well he’d be a perfect anything really!!
And Karen, you don’t know how completely jealous I am of where you live! I’m down south and its nice, but north California just looks so breathtakingly beautiful. I’m actually driving down soon for a wedding, but we’ll see how that goes. x)
Hailey says

Just wanted to give you a shout out! I just started reading this blog and truly have been enjoying it. I was reading another makeup blog but the girl in charge of it was becoming a bit too snotty for my liking. I like my bloggers to be judgement free! I’m also enjoying your giveaways, which lead me to keep checking back frequently! thanks for all the effort you put into this!

I’m in San Diego but I’m originally from Texas and love the spring, when the flowers are blooming, the trees are filling out and the birds are chirping outside. Your pics remind me of that. Thank you for sharing.

Lindsay B says
If I could be any animal, I’d be a horse. Mostly because I ride and compete, so I’d want to know what goes on inside their heads that can make them difficult to figure out. I’m retraining an ex-race horse right now and it would be very interesting to see what goes on inside his head and why he gets tense and acts the way that he does.
On another note, I went to Sephora today and I was inundated by overly-friendly sales representatives. They told me they were glad to be able to give out free samples in stores like they’ve always done online, so I guess something good came out of it: tons of samples! It could have also been because I was one of the first customers of the day, but sheesh! I guess it’s better than being ignored. I bought UD make up setting spray, a Buxom cream eye liner (I’m obsessed now) and a Stila baked eye shadow in Champagne. It really caught my eye.
April says
Yesterday was my birthday and I got 50.00…I if I was to win the 50.00 gift card, I could finally get the Make Up For Ever Flash color palette I’ve been wanting!! P.S. Just decided to go to Pasadena IMATS in June for a graduation present to myself! I live in NC…so this is a big deal to me!
AYL says
I hate the feelings Sunday brings…cuz tomorrow is monday…noooooooo
Taylor says

Amanda says
I am loving the warmer (ish) weather that we’ve been getting lately. 🙂 Bring on the summer make-up!!
Jessica says
Have you seen this crazy Extreme Couponing show? Its insane. The people go in to the grocery store and fill up their carts with hundreds of dollars worth of products and they manage to save anywhere from 90-95%.
We’ve been trying to put these theories into practice at home, and we’ve saved lots of money so far! I don’t know if I could do it the same way that those people do, but its nice to save some money once in a while!
mm says

catherine-o says
Just picked up some shimmery shadows for summer!!
Melissa says
My Saturday was unexpectedly fun. My hubby dragged me and our daughter to Bass Pro Shop (it’s like disneyland for outdoor/hunting enthusiasts). They had an in-store egg hunt for the little ones, which kept us busy while hubby played for a while. It was actually fun 🙂

if I was an animal I would totally be a cat. people still love you and treat you well even if you arent very nice (not saying that I’m not but you know). overall people just take care of cats but deal with their attitudes so i would want to be a cat for that reason
Rebecca says
If I were to win this giveaway I’d be one happy girl! I’m going to Costa Rica next month, so the gift card would come in handy for some beach makeup and sunscreen.
