Good morning, young lady. 🙂 It’s the weekend, and wouldn’t ya know it? I feel a little out of it today, so please bear with me if you can. I’m not sure why, but it’s like everything’s moving in slow motion for me. I didn’t sleep poorly last night, so I don’t think that’s why. I just…don’t know, feel…slower…than…usual. And Tabs is really bothered about it, too, as you can tell from this very revealing pic:
I believe it accurately conveys how he feels about my mental struggles this morning: “Talk to the butt.”
See, when Tabs is having “one of those mornings,” he just flees to the safety of his cat tower and sleeps it off.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could do that sometimes? — flee to our cat towers.
I’m serious. I wish I had a giant cat tower built to human scale. It would have to be about 42 feet tall, though, with better carpeting, and would probably require an elevator because I ain’t climbing up the side of no 42-foot-tall cat tower. I’m not THAT crazy, LOL!
While I research construction costs, why don’t we have a little fun this morning and get this weekend off to a good start? 🙂 I think you know what that means. It’s…
- One (1) Sephora eGift card containing $50 sent to the winner by email (international readers, you may opt to receive $50 sent by PayPal instead).
- There are two ways to enter, and you can do both of them for two chances to win. First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all, like, what do you do when you have “one of those mornings?” Have you ever worked on a ranch or a farm? — wait, I just asked that one last week. Seriously, how do I come up with these questions, LOL?! Have you ever worked on a farm? I mean come on, am I completely out of my mind? 🙂 I think you know how we do this by now. A comment about anything at all, but today, the wackier the better.
- Second, you can enter by following me on
Twitter @karenmbb and retweeting (RT) the following message:
- Follow @karenmbb and RT to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora! http://bit.ly/p3QSYA

- The winner will be announced here within 48 hours of the deadline.

Two Ways to Win a $100 eGift Card from Sephora! 
Two Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card from Sephora! 
Hi Karen! Love your blog and most especially TABS! I have actually worked on a farm- sort of. I am going back to school (career change!) to become a RVT and my school has a farm. It really is so much fun working with the sheep, goats, chickens and such. I have never had the opportunity to be around these kinds of animals and I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed it! Looking forward to more great posts.
i love ur blog!! i visit it everyday!!<3
I had one of those mornings yesterday, I hope your’s gets better!
I’ve never been a morning peson! Love the blog, by the way 🙂
Enjoying family time with a bbq today! Also loving the new naturaleyes palette from Stila!! Thanks:)
One of those mornings seems to have turned into every morning lately…
Good Morning T-Money and K-Dawg! 🙂
I have totally -been- on a farm. A fruit farm. Spent my time catching mango being tossed off the tree, then promptly eating it. Wonderful summer.
I would love to win!!!!! Thanks Karen 🙂
Can’t wait to see your review of the Natureluxe Mousse mascara!
Some Randomness: comment about anything..
I wish the music from the 90’s would comeback in full effect! So many great artists and groups to choose from. Music makes the world go round and we’re lacking that feel good music.
Hi Karen and Tabs! I would love a cat tower (or some place) to go when I’m having “one of those mornings.”
This heat wave in NY is NO JOKE!!!!!!
So, since we are feeling random today, I was thinking about jello since I have the flu. I mean I really hate jello (no offense to its creators) but I love it when I’m sick. Its a crazy phenomenon.
I have a teapot in the shape of a frog. When I was catsitting for my mom (I took her cat to my place for a few weeks), he kept trying to kiss the frog teapot! I think he thought it was a frog prince. 😛

I wish I had a giant cat tower too!
I went to grab a popsicle last night, and my kitty jumped into the freezer. Poor bugger wants to take her fur coat off, it’s so hot! At least it’s slightly more bearable today than it was yesterday… but DAMN, Boston is HOOOOOOOOT.
I have started freezing my bedclothes and nightdress a half hour before bed to cool myself off. I feel like Tabs right now – except my hair is wackier!
I lived on a chicken farm for about a year with my grandparents in Ohio. Lemme just say that roosters don’t only crow at dawn, but throughout the day as well as into the night. It was difficult to sleep sometimes.
Thanks for the giveaway !

Love this blog!! happy saturday 🙂
One of those mornings for me is like… everyday LOL I have a terrible time sleeping (i should probably have a sleep study done).

I am sooo procrastinating instead of studying. FML.
your cat is cute!
I visited San Francisco in January and I think you are really lucky to live in this wonderful city. I would move there anytime! By the way I love your blog!
I’ve been having those mornings all week. I suspect the heat has something to do with it. Hope morning gets better.
karen, pick me!
The heat in the midwest is trying to undo every makeup ande hair trick I try. Hurry up cooling off. Air conditioner went out yesterday and we almost melted.
Drink lots of coffee!
I’m staying inside because of the heat but will be hitting the Boston MFA tomorrow
Rocking a Zoya Casey pedi–love it!
This morning my alarm didn’t work, so I don’t get to go to the beach today =(
I usually sleep off crappy mornings….which causes me to sleep all the time. Oy.
I badly need rest. But I’d rather browse the net. Hope to win. :))
I’ve always wanted to live on a farm and next month I will be moving into a house that’s on an acre of land and zoned for farm animals. I already have a horse and I’m going to get a couple of goats.
I’ve helped “herd” ducks at my dad’s ancestral home in a village in China when I was younger. Does that count as farm work? 🙂
Denise recently posted … What’s in the Unicorns Dream Swag Box?
I’m having one of those YEARS, actually…ahem.
Never worked on a farm, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with celebrity deaths. Haven’t brought it up in discussion (much), but just thought I’d throw it out there. (Jonesin’ for eyeshadow to play in; these brushes won’t use themselves.)
I’m ready for winter!
i love ur blog, i go to it prob obsessivly evryday lol
Because of you, I have 3 boxes of Trader Joe’s Mango Cream bars in my freezer! I’m scared to ever run out!
When I have mornings like that I pull out my secret-girly-super-fun music that I would never be caught dead dancing and singing to (think 80s Madonna, early Britney Spears, and [my big secret] Hilary Duff!!!)
I’m having one of those mornings right now but this perked me up!
I love Saturdays!
I can’t wait for True Blood tomorrow night!!!
I love Starbucks coffee ice cream. <3
So excited fo True Blood tomorrow- it’s almost Eric time!
Too warm here in Calcutta!! Taking luxuriant baths!!
I love your blog and your cat lady lady moments
Can I just say, I feel like such a loser that I haven’t seen Harry Potter yet because of my exams. 🙁 Thanks for another giveaway, by the way! 🙂
Hmmm, I have never worked on a farm (don’t think I’m the farm type!), but my house is like a zoo sometimes…my kids jump around like animals most of the day!!
tried to be environmentally friendly last night by sleeping with the AC off…worst decision of my life…so sleepy 🙁
I want more eye shadow!
I’m so tired of this heat wave!!!
Believe it or not, I did used to work on a farm! And I’m from Canada!
I have never worked on a farm before but I love cows!!!
With this daily 105 degree weather, I’m almost ready for winter, but I know I’ll feel differently when it actually comes!
I can’t wait until tomorrow!
Happy Saturday!!! Hanging with family most of the weekend; pretty gray here today. Sephora card would certainly brighten the weekend:)
we adopted two kittens from the humane society about a month ago, and last night was the first night that one of them slept with us on the bed for part of the night (normally they just wrestle and fight with each other while we try our best to ignore it). so i can say that i didn’t really sleep that well last night and am having one of those mornings too! have a great weekend!!
I’m just happy it’s the weekend. Have a good one!
Awww Tabs! One of my kitties, Saku, is having a cranky day as well! He’s on top of the hutch in my dining room, with his back turned to us right now.
Have a great weekend everyone! Stay cool!
I once picked cotton on a farm…for three minutes. That was long enough for me.
i hope i win!
Speaking of tabs and his quirks, my french bulldog is OBSESSED with shiny things! He seriously will stalk reflections on the wall of my computer, cell phone, his dog collar. Sometimes we’ll mess with him and shake the reflections and he’ll try to jump up the wall to eat them! Cheap fun and a good way to exercise him, lol.
maybe thats the heat?
i need to clean house. grr
I’m getting married on Monday! AAAH!
Am addicted to watching Quest Crew (A dance crew) on Youtube lately. I know there are a few good ones (e.g. Poreotix and JabbaWockeeZ), but Quest can not only perform together in synchrony but also individually which, to me, makes them a cut above the rest 😀
And no, I’m not a dancer, I have no coordination to do so, but I do wish I could dance, especially like them!
Tabs looks fab even from behind! Have a great weekend y’all
my cats are all laying on the hardwood floor, playing dead.
I’m having a lazy day today.. VS sweatpants and minimal makeup 🙂
I’m already agoraphobic so when I have “one of those days” I not only don’t leave my room, I don’t eat or talk to anyone either.
I bought a glow in the dark frisbee and it’s AWESOME!!!! Love your blog! 🙂
I’m debating if I should keep or sell my Too Faced Eye Love palette I got from Sephora…I have more than enough eyeshadow to last me 2 lifetimes, but the hoarder in me tells me otherwise!
Haha believe it or not my dad used to work on a farm! He used to work on one of those ‘educational’ farms that kids go on fieldtrips to, and he was in charge of all the educational programs there!
I always have on of those mornings, I hate waking up early specially if I have to go to work! haha I just drink coffee (if not, everyone will suffer!) and put a good song on the radio while driving 🙂
Hi Karen! Goodmorning to you..but it’s 12:35 AM here in Manila,Philippines. I’m an avid reader of your blog & check it every night because of the time difference,I know it’s morning there when it’s night here so I check it before I sleep to catch your morning posts 🙂 Love the blog,more power to you & Tabs!
this east coast heat wave is killing me
I hope you have a great weekend 🙂
Does Farmville count? I’m training Tabs to harvest my livestock. Maybe that’s why he’s in the cat tower.
I’m getting a late start to my day, which is fine by me though. I’m just reading your blog, drinking my coffee. I love it when I have the time to drink my coffee and catch up on blogs, e-mail, facebook, etc.
This has been a long week for me. Since I was looking forward to sleeping in but still woke up around 8, that didn’t really happen.
I’m having one of “those” mornings right now. Even with the AC on it got hot in the bedroom super early and I didn’t sleep well. Now I’m cranky!

Hi Karen,
I’m new to your blog and am already loving it!
As for my random question: which do you find more terrifying: the deep ocean or outer space?
DD
When i have one of those mornings i just get up and watch tv, its the more relaxing thing to do!
I’m still on the fence about going to see Captain America. Do you think I should?
my dad had chickens, ducks and geese? does that count? 😛 I feel depressed right now that sephora card would sure perk me up.
man oh man is it HOT
I am also a crazy cat lady. I have two cats, and I cradle them all the time. My fat Siamese doesn’t care about it, but my little orange tabby gets fidgety after a while. Still love them!
i’m having one of those mornings today too (eh..turning into a day now) … in other news, i just passed the MAC boutique in Grand Central yesterday and it took all of my willpower to not go in..!
Love love love your blog. And the same goes for makeup ; )
Hi, love the blog! When I’m having one of those mornings, my fav way to fix it is to have a nice big cup of green tea!
Actually, I have worked on a ranch! Ha! Seriously, a horse ranch as a teen. I can’t believe I can answer yesto that.
it has been so hot outside this passed week.
Haha i’m not sure I’d be able to work on a farm..
Yesterday was my birthday! The only thing I asked for was for hubby to score this job he’s been interviewing for….they interviewed three times but don’t have room on the schedule for him! Ugh….
I was just at Sephora this morning and bought the new Tarte SmolderEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner in Plum. Love. But I could use 2 more 🙂
Record-breaking heat. No AC (just ceiling fans). Nasty head cold. Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh…
I’m melting in this heat – looking forward to the day when I can wear makeup without it dripping off my face!
If you give a mouse a cookie, he will definitely ask for some cake.
i hate mornings so much
I just heard Amy Winehouse died.
That chica may have had some crazy moments, but “Valerie” was still pretty kickass.
I miss Anne Hathaway in her Princess Diaries days 🙁
As part of the world’s largest scavenger hunt, the teams built human-size towers- they were awesome! One team had a bottle of whiskey hanging from a string to tempt passers-by 😉
thanks for making such a fun blog 🙂
Happy Saturday. This heat is is really making me cranky, plus I have a bad cold/flu? Who gets sick in JULY!?!?! Plus, I have to take my dog to the vet today so I’m not off to a very good start this Saturday. A Sephora gift card would really cheer me up, please? 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
You and me, sista! Maybe we can both win, and it’ll make up for our suffering…
I love your blog!!
When I’m having one of those mornings…I snuggle with my baby boy, dog, and kitty until I’m semi feeling like moving. And a good under eye concealer doesn’t hurt!
Yesterday was the hottest day of this summer, and today we have had several thunders and a LOT of rain.
hello! good afternoon 🙂
When I have mornings like that, I either spend the day in my pjs or go out (to Sephora) for some retail therapy!
When I let me dogs out this morning – I am the crazy chihuahua lady with 3! – My little Gidget had a ‘clinger’! It would not come off by itself and I had to lend a paper towel covered hand to help free her from her poop! Yuck!!
Happy Saturday!
I’ve never worked on a farm, but I used to go to horse riding day camp in the summers when I was in elementary school. I learned horse riding, horse driving, car driving, then bike riding in that order. That is probably why I still say “whoaaaaaaaa” whenever I want any transportation to stop, be it organic or mechanical.
I hate nordstrom’s online policy of only one promo code b/c then I had to pay full price for shipping in order to get my estee lauder GWP.
Karen, I have been reading your blogs everyday for the last three years!
I even have “Makeup and Beauty Blog” as a bookmark on my computer.
I grew up around horses and they are magical. I have two of my own.
Makeup and horses are my passion and because in the horse showing world
everyone is trying to look there best, they go hand in hand 🙂
Having my own cat tower would be awesome! Usually I just retreat to the bedroom with a book..the boy knows enough to leave me alone then!

Haven’t worked on a farm, but have done the pick your own thing – berries, peaches, and apples.
I rediscovered the best blood red polish in my nail polish collection 😮
Lol 🙂
I need a new eye liner that won’t smudge or budge.
in love with juice beauty lately!
I’m having a great weekend except I’m very sad to hear about Amy Winehouse.
I could totally use a cat tower today.
It’s a lot of coffee kinda morning 🙂
Hay girl hay! When I have “one of those mornings” I usually look up some of my favorite hysterical youtube videos, or I go to the oatmeal.com for a good laugh, combined with my Relaxed Mind tea (by Yogi – I swear, it really is amazing).
The guys at Oatmeal.com really know their cats. And here is one of their best comic/graphics to prove it: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/kitty_pet
Hope your day speeds up, Karen!
Love love love the oatmeal.com! 😀
I want to go surfing… Unfortunately, the waves where I live (Jacksonville) are too small and frothy to be rideable. 🙁
I’m listening to Kate Nash and it’s fantastic!
When I have one of those mornings, I sit at the computer with lots of coffee!
Oh goodness, I need a pick-me-up so bad right now! Haha. I’ve had “one of those mornings” for the past week but I’m not doing a very good job handling it. Aside from visiting your blog… Your blog ALWAYS cheers me up! <3 today you've inspired me to actually do something about it! I think I'll pamper myself today… Take a nice bath filled with Lush products, use all my best lotions and my favorite perfume, do a face mask, give myself a mani/pedi… Yes, that sounds perfect for today :]
I ate 1/2 a watermelon today…it was sooooo goooood!! 🙂
I miss being younger, when my mornings started at like 3pm. Now, after having the wondertwins, I actually am up before the sun rises. It’s disgusting.
I live on a winery. it’s not a farm but still lots of fun!
I would love to win the Sephora gift card!
In middle school we went up to our school’s farm and stayed there for a week, doing labor for them. They let the chickens roam free and they were SCARY chickens!
I definitely put on more makeup when I’m having “one of those mornings.” Totally mental, but it works.
Hah, well, I can’t say I’ve ever wanted to live on a farm… but, despite the fact that I’m a city kind of girl, I can’t say quiet, rural life hasn’t ever sounded cool.
Sometimes, when I feel sad, I like to make myself feel worse by staring in the mirror as I cry, and listening to coldplay. It works every time.
Having one of those mornings this morning…
Go back to sleep…
My cat’s name is Mittens! Love your bloggity blog! 🙂
Hey Karen! My cat is acting so weird today. She keep licking my legs and the top of my foot. I have on some BBW Coconut Mango lotion on maybe that’s the reason. Whatever it is she is freaking me out lol! Thanks for listening boo.
Wow, and I thought it was hot here… Though it’s cooled down considerably since the week of OMG HEAT.
Yay…Its Saturday!
Hey T-Money and K-Dawg… Kitty Kat here (seriously, its my pseudo ghetto name – as I too love my cat)!
Kitty Kat attack, and that’s a rap!
Sorry that doesn’t really rhyme – but hopefully it is random enough for you.
make it a movie day!!!
When I have “one of those mornings”, if I can possibly swing it, I have a “beauty day”! I give myself a facial, deep condition my hair, give it a protein treatment, do a mani and pedi. I lounge around and read or watch movies and eat lovely, healthy foods that I try to prepare beautifully.
Hello T-Money and K-Dawg … Kitty Kat here (seriously, its my pseudo ghetto name – as I too love my cat!)
I wish it was September so I’d be on vacation in New Hampshire!
Love your blog!
Today, I wore bright blue eyshadow.
pls cheer me up, Karen, Tabs and Sephora. :-/
I turned 20 yesterday!
I just realised I can never have a nice arch on both my brows. I’ll have to resort to a more 20s look instead. Boo.
Plz, enter me!!!

I am also having one of those mornings! Family drama. I brewed a little pot of french roast coffee and I am going to sit in the comfy chair and savor it while staring into space with my kitty on my lap. That’ll show em!
I’ve never worked on a farm. And I don’t know that I could! Icky. However, I could EAT like I lived on a farm 😀 Bring on the huge breakfasts!
I usually drink shaken iced tea lemonade from starbucks.. its so yummy!
I went to CVS with my handsome BF and he bought me N.Y.C Union Square palette, West Village nail polish and Extreme Lip Glider in Mulberry St. Mocha. He’s so sweet!
I’ve never worked on a farm…honestly I don’t think I can. I LOOOOOVE your blog!!!
My son’s sleepover is tonight. Six eight- and nine-year-old hockey players hopped up on soda and birthday cake. Xanax, please?
A little retail therapy would certainly help me recover from this stressful experience!
My boyfriend just went to go work on a farm earlier this week! He’s a cook and his restaurant gets a lot of produce from this local organic farm, so he went to go check it out… And by check it out, I mean pull weeds! Lots and lots of weeds.. Apparently you get those when you don’t use pesticides. The plus side is he did get to take home about a dozen farm fresh eggs 🙂
i am having one of those mornings too. if the sun wasn’t melting my city right now, i would probably be out on a drive, blaring a chill playlist.
I posted something already but don’t see it on the comments list. Hopefully I haven’t entered a million times!
I have never worked on a farm, but I used to visit my aunt & uncle in the Catskills all the time and they raised chickens, rabbits, geese, and even pigs a couple of years. Their next door neighbor (who’s property was on both sides of the road) was a dairy farm, so you’d see cows hanging out less than 100′ from their property all the time. Cows are cool. Pigs are big, smelly, & not as cool as cows.
Having one of those mornings too. But having a choco munchkin and seeing my dog Taz waking up stretching and begging for his tummy to be rubbed made it a little better
the happiest day in my life..hope this continues..
Oh I really need this Gift Card for my Darling Daughter in Vermont.
She has worked on a farm and didn’t love it but has a huge garden at her house now.
She also has a Four month old.Boy and would never think of buying makeup with her limited funds.
Love love love your blog!!
Just discovered your blog a few days ago and I love it! I’m kind of having one of those off mornings/days too. I’m all achy and just not feeling right. Let’s hope it gets better for the both of us!
Farms are amazing !!!
My mom lives in San Diego, and they just had a groupon for one of the few Chamorro/Guamanian restaurants left in that area, so I bought her two. She’s gonna get her lumpia and adobo on (similar but not exactly the same as Filipino adobo). Am jealous. Might have to fly out there to help her eat it all. 🙂
I have visited my family farm and done some work, but never really worked on a farm. Can I just say that the smell of a chicken coop may be the worst smell ever?
I usually drink coffee and check out new posts on your blog =)
I slept pretty badly because of the humidity and relentless heat. No AC, just a fan and a wet towel for relief.
I’m having one of those mornings (well, now afternoon) as well. Can’t seem to get myself going!
Haha… I have ‘one of those mornings’ a lot! Luckily not today, though. I usually try to exercise it off.
I actually have worked on a farm! I went to a private school for a year (in 3rd grade) and we had gardens and farms that we worked on sometimes. We also helped to raise chickens, calves, and sheep. This was a Waldorf school, by the way, if you’ve ever heard of them. I also milked cows at a sustainable ranch in Costa Rica.
Hey Karen 🙂
I really enjoy reading your blog ..very informational and i have saved lots of money because of this blog as i can see swatch and read reviews before hand.
secondly i love tabs 🙂 and your blue eye shadows .
love to tabs
xoxo
I love your blog! I never make a makeup purchase without consulting you first! Love you Karen!
Going for a run or a swim definitely helps me when I’m having “one of those mornings”!!!
im looking for a nice bright watermelony-pink coral nailpolish, any suggestions? i have seen some swatches of OPI san remo, but in some it looks more red-coral than pink-coral
Going for a run or a swim definitely helps me when I’m having “one of those morningsâ€!!!
I’ve never worked on a farm but, I did visit one last weekend and got to feed a bunch of baby goats, and two sheep 🙂
Please let me win, please let me win, please let me win…
I love green tea. I’m having some right now.
It’s 11:39am and I’m having a small bowl of french silk ice cream, yay! 😀
My pug and your Tabs should play.
I’m in lovveeee with your blog!(:
Have some fiber and drink some water. Get yourself some air and let the day flow like sands through the hourglass…So are the days of our lives. Darn you Stefano!
fortress of solitude
Give me a jar of Nutella and a spoon and I’m happy.
I love TRUE BLOOD!!!!!
A little coral lip gloss always brightens up one of “those” mornings for me!
Where I live, it is soooooooo hot, I am staying indoors with the AC. Just an FYI, I bought the Dior spray foundation. I have major trouble with foundation, and this is my HG. Seriously flawless and I’m in love!
I have Peridot on my nails!
Woke up this morning in Kona, Hawaii….so can’t complain about anything. Time to hit the beach that’s right outside my resort room window. 🙂 Oh sure, and I expect a Sephora gift card, too. lol! By the way, UD Canonball mascara is the BOMB!! Not only is it the best waterproof mascara ever, it’s a great every day mascara! I’ve never tried a waterproof I loved until now…thanks for recommending it, Karen!
T-Money & K-Dawg rock my socks!!! Lol
I like to eat with rice in both of my hands. I love eating with two hands, but my parents said that it’s only proper to each with one hand. I don’t like using utensil. I’m not sure if that’s the filipino way
I wish the cashier’s office at my school were open on Saturday’s and Sunday’s. I want my hold to go away so I can register for classes! FRUSTRATION!
Whenever I’m bored, I do a little dance. I do a little penguin dance 🙂
I never worked on a farm, but I used to hear endless amount of stories about it from my mom. She said that it hurts it back endlessly. She wanted to stop but she couldn’t because it was her father’s job, and she was helping him
I’m watching a Snapped marathon. As crazy as this show is, I love it.
waking up in the morning has become slow for me because….I am pregnant!! I’m happy but my husband is overseas. He’ll only come back for the birth of our child, but I’m still excited 🙂
I love your blog! Thank you so much for all the great reviews! Oh and when I’m having “one of those mornings” I can usually overcome it with the perfect combination of coffee and beauty blog reading, lol.
LOVE your blog and love the contests! Thanks, Karen!
Also, everybody should watch Friday Night Lights – most perfect show on TV. Just caught up and watched the series finale last night. It’s beautiful! And I hate football! 🙂
Love your blog, Karen!!
I need some air conditioning.
I always need OJ on hard mornings!
Hmm, when I’m having one of *those* mornings if I have a bit of time I have a banana (there must be something in them that always makes me feel better!), do a bit of yoga, and finish it with a sweetsy coffee drink (special treat, not a regular thing) if I didn’t sleep well that night.
If there’s no time for that I cue up my favorite song on my iPod and ride it out till the afternoon. Hope you’re feeling better!
I’m doing jello wrestling tonight, super stoked!
I love your blog and how quirky and adorable you are!
i had a wonderful family feud again. but at least i get some new shoes next week! some sky high wedge booties and some puma el ace’s!
On those mornings, I get the largest coffee possible. 🙂
I’m so glad we’re in the Bay Area and not the East Coast; the weather here is amazing compared to over there!
Yay giveaway time! No farms for me. Chickens scare me.
Luckily, I get to stay home and mope around on hard-to-get-moving mornings! Otherwise, it’s Starbucks!
love makeup
I just went the the FARMers market today, does that count? I didn’t buy anything, but that’s only because we’ve had so little nice weather that very few sellers had English Peas, and the ones that did looked anorexic (the peas, not the people) and were very expensive. I need my fresh pea fix!!
Loving this lazy Saturday morning, but now it must end. Got to get ready for a party. Oh well time to play with makeup.
It’s a million degrees here in DC. Okay, that might be an exaggeration but it’s really bad.
I am so tired! I have been up since 4 am and there is no rest in sight!!!!
Happy Saturday, Karen! 🙂

I adore your blog!! I read every.single.post. Thanks for the awesome giveaway. Hmmm something wacky..let’s see. I was born on the 4th of July. My husband’s bday is Xmas (poor guy) and I was born w/ a double collar bone..crazy, eh? 🙂 Have a great weekend!
I turn up my favorite music, toss back a five hour energy drink, and put on my favorite lip product of the day!
When I have one of those mornings I try to take a little extra time to get ready just to pamper myself 🙂 Or I eat a bagel with lots of cream cheese… Love these giveaways!
Just about to head to Ulta for some goodies…
With an 18 month old I don’t get to really have “one of those mornings” anymore…BUT if it’s been one of those days then I take a long hot bath ass soon as she goes to bed and let a glass of wine and bubbles work their magic!
Never worked on a farm but spent alotta time on one form time to time, very nice to get back to nature.
Tabs is awesome!!!!!! There’s nothing quite like the love of a Tabby cat! I have had 4 in my life, they are GREAT! Have a nice weekend!
I love this site!!! I hope I can have a cat gorgeous like Tabs one day! 😀 Thanks for the giveaway!
hmm, i’ve worked near a farm (crops, animals, and all), but never actually in one.
Haha I ‘get talk to the butt all the time’ from Snook my cat!
A nice cold drink by a nice cold pool should cure anything 🙂
The European Wax Spa is running a good deal on their waxing packages!
I went to the casino for the first time today!
OMG!! i love the blog. I am an addict and check frequently while at work :p dont tell my boss!! haha i also adore sephora. since moving to a city in the sticks for college i have become very familiar with their web page! keep on keeping on! xoxo
Not worked on a farm, but my grandpa had one with cows, two horses and a billy goat that ate my grandma’s rose bushes..lol!!
I’ve never worked on a farm, which is probably a good thing – I have one plant (basil) and I’m probably going to kill it. But I have had baby cows try to eat my shirt before – they’re so cute you let them do it, too.
Target is such an awesome store!
Exhausted from watching the news (about Oslo) since I got off work yesterday! So horrific!
I’m recovering this weekend from wisdom teeth removal surgery. Wisdom teeth removal does have its advantages. I can eat ice cream without feeling so guilty. 😉
When I’m having one of those mornings, I generally just do stuff to lighten my mood (browse the web, play games, watch something, etc….).
A new BITE Beauty lip pencil is calling my name… 🙂
I’ve got to read four five hundred page books in less than three weeks, hahaha. Gotta love AP classes. <3
As a kid I used to visit my great-uncle once a month with my grandma. His next door neighbor had a horse in his front yard and I loved to rub its nose and feed it carrots.
Today was my 7th day of going to the gym in a row, and I feel fabulous! 🙂
Happy Weekend!
Had a waterballon fight with my son at 10am. It’s going to be a very productive day.

Never worked on a farm!!
My grandma used to raised chickens glad bless her soul back in the Dominican Republic, she used to send me every morning to fetch the eggs & one day the male rooster apparently saw me or got a good scent of smell anyways the rooster started plucking away at me, chased all the way in the yard I dropped a couples of eggs but I managed to clim on tree and save myself LOL. I’ll never forget that day, I’m really cautious now when I go around chickens 😀 Thanks for the chance. Have a great weekend!
Karen, you are super cool but, Tabs is THE coolest cat around!! 😉
I’ve never worked on a farm, but I’ve been to a farm. Does that count?!
my kitty smells like fried chicken lol 😛
I’ve been having “one of those mornings” too frequently lately, haha. But i hope your day improves !
never on a farm but working in fast food is close!
Absolutely love your blog. Follow you on twitter, but you’re so damn popular, you never reply. 🙁
Your just amazing!
Waiting for special person to come back on the road…..miss him badly
hi Karen! I recently found your blog and have been reading through the pages (almost to pg 55!) <3!
I’ve never worked on a farm, but we had chickens when I was growing up!
Eeee!!! Could definitely use this to purchase some new fall colors (NARS anyone?)!!!
I ate a roasted ant once. Just once. It was scratchy and awful and still had its legs, but since I tossed it as far back in my mouth as possible and refused to chew, my lipgloss was still totally delicious after the dry heaves were over! =)
i like cats 🙂
My kitty is jealous of Tabs and his awesome tower. Currently he has to settle for the top of a bookcase when he wants to get away.
I’m so hot and sunburned right now – at this point in time, I’m very angry at the beach!
Thanks for the giveaway Karen! YOUR BLOG IS AMAZING!
Enter me! I just went to the farmers market and had a lettuce, pineapple, apple juice drink. It was horrible! I finished it only bc it was healthy.
I really want a kitten. =[

Thank you for all the great reviews Karen. Kisses.
It’s 103 degrees in Washington, DC today… I’m just trying to stay cool… Thank goodness for AC :o)
Hi Karen. Love your blog. This would be a great win so I can purchase some new makeup for the summer! 🙂
Woke up at 5 am to take the Praxis II, didn’t have to be up until 6 am but I was too excited!
I’ve never worked on a farm, but we used to visit our local one all the time growing up. I liked to feed the goats and they had the absolute best candy shop.
…How do you come up with these questions anyway? Haha. There have been times where I’ve read these and thought “Oh no, she shouldn’t list so many suggestions in one post or she’ll run out of ideas!”
A good stretch and change of environment usually gets me over one of “those” mornings…
Blugh. I had one of those mornings too. Everything seem to just go wrong. You know my makeup has never been so terrible it had to be redone? ………………..until this morning. Apparently the concealer (that looks really wrong) didn’t play well with my sunscreen and it looked…ugh, just weird and terrible and like a splatter mess. So I had to start all over and be even later to leave.
yay sephora gc! there was an article on a “makeup hoarder” on msn the other day and I saw the photos and thought, that’s not that bad… I mean she needed an organizer or two but seriously. 😛
the wackier the better? amy winehouse. may she rest in peace. LOVE THE BLOG.
Spending the weekend home taking care of hubby post apendectomy
Hey I love your site and thanks for this awesome chance to win a gift card. I’ve been eyeing the MFE flash palette for a while but it’s way out of my budget. Love tabs and love the blog =)
I’ve never worked a farm or ranch, but I do read the Pioneer Woman’s blog!
I’ve been on a Tea kick lately! I’ve bought lots of loose leaf tea and have been sampling to find my favorites <3 there are so many awesome teas out there!
Tabs reminds my of my dog. “Human I am done with you now, you will see my rump.”
olivia wilde looks just like cassi from big brother wow
haay 🙂 Pick me!
When I’m having “one of those mornings” I slap on a bright lipstick, head to the nearest bakery and buy the most sinful looking doughnuts available. Then, everything is right with the world again.
Momma needs a shopping spree 🙂
hey!
never worked on a farm before, but did have a chick and a duck when i was little!
Thank you for the giveaway Karen!!!

Still in the middle of this heat wave!
A farm by any other name is just a home with animals. So yes I have experience with that.
I desperately need $50 to spend at Sephora!!!!!
never worked on a farm! but when i was a little girl we used to go apple picking, cherry picking, starwberry picking, corn picking, basically we used to pick everything! and we had a vegetable garden and lots and lots of fruit trees!
when I have one of those mornings, I like to attend a yoga or pilates class. I know I know, it takes all forms of power and persuasion to get the butt off the bed and into workout clothes, not to mention actually getting to the place. But I find that after one session, I feel ready to face whatever the day has in store and actually have fun!
I got engaged last night!!!! And to top it off I was wearing Evolution Revolution! 🙂
Does farmville count?
I just love your blog!
Going out in the city tonight and I cannot wait to get my dance on! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway, Karen!
I really hate those mornings where I wake up and put on an outfit and hate it and put on another outfit and hate that one and put on another outfit. Sometimes I end up with 5 or 6 outfits on my bed that I discard before I find one that I like.
Another hot Saturday afternoon in the Midwest. It’s hard to keep the makeup from melting off my face these days.
I just got the Josie Maran Natural Wonders palette!
Today I’m trying the no laser facelift face massage – maybe that’ll help me wake up!
Woot Woot giveaway time. Make it my lucky day!
I thought I was the only one that was jealous of my kitties sleeping places!
A “human tower” sounds fantastic!
Is it as hot on the West Coast as it is in New England? Maybe that’s where the slowness comes from.
It’s over 100 degrees where I am, but somehow my eyeliner stayed put when I was out last night. (I love MUFE Aqua Eyes!)
The crazier the better? Well, to be honest, the craziest thing I can think of telling you in this moment is that the capital of my teeny, tiny, pretty little country is both shaken and heavily stirred after the most unbelievable event ever.
I’m sure you’ve heard, but if not there was both a bombing and a wild shooting episode in Oslo, the capital of Norway, yesterday, and there really is hard to focus on anything else. To be honest, I feel kind of bad even entering your contest, but I guess it won’t do any harm..
(I by the way feel bad for this entry being my first comment here, but I haven’t read your blog for more than just a few weeks so I haven’t gotten to it yet…. I am reading it, though, every single bit!)
My grandparents used to own three horses, one of which was mine. So I’ve chucked some hay in my day. 😉
The heat index has been hovering around 110 degrees here in Iowa.
I have grown up around horses so the aroma is something I’m used to. I remember the first time I invited a friend for a sleepover. That lasted about 30 minutes. I found out later that she told her mother that we lived in a barn!
It’s been a rough month, but I’ll be near a Sephora store soon, so I’m hoping to win this!
I was supposed to see Bob Dylan tonight, but I guess that’s not going to work out.
hey karen! i hope you are enjoying your weekend! 🙂
One “one of those days” I just run to my computer and start searching for music. Like good old classic funk tunes, and then I realize I know the sample and search for it, then I have some other brilliant idea to lose time on the net. After half an hour to one hour I’m cured and ready to work 😉 (ok, sometimes maybe after 3 hours!!)
One of those mornings.. one of those days… Not in my best of moods!
Giveaway time!!!!!!
R.I.P. Amy Winehouse. Another talented musical artist lost to the demons of addiction. Another beauty who knew how to rock a deep red lipstick & black winged liner. Gone but not Forgotten!
Its been so hot here in jersey I actually think I heard my AC laughing at me..
Went to see the McQueen exhibit at the Met today, waited in line for 2 hours, but it was worth it
I’m trying to find the perfect nude lipstick. I’m NC35 in MAC’s prolongwear spf 10 foundation, but I’ve been as dark as an NC44 in Studio Fix Fluid. I bought MAC Hue and then hated it the next day, but it’s okay if I wear a dusty pink lip pencil underneath. The search continues!
When one of those mornings comes along, I just keep sleeping until it becomes the afternoon. Snuggling the puggle helps.
Project Runway marathon for the win 😀
i’m preggers and so so tired, my skin is in horrible shape and i really don’t know what to do 🙁
the closest thing i came to working on a farm when i had to feed my uncle’s pig, Elvis 🙂 hahaha
I just got my order of Smoke & Mirrors polishes from Zoya. They’re all just gorgeous. Some beautiful greens! Love green polish. Thanks.

Watching Piers Morgan right now!
Going to stop by Sephora before NYC trip!
Had chicken & waffles for brunch, then watched Horrible Bosses.
One of those mornings=more coffee more coffee more coffee!!!
I’d love to just crawl back under the covers after “one of those mornings”, but usually I can make do with an extra cup of coffee.
Despite the fact that I love hot weather, I am looking forward to Fall because the makeup I wear won’t be melting off my face (or feeling like it is) as the weather cools down!
Oooooh I cannot agree with you MORE!! Summer is great for the spirits but not for the makeup, lol.
When my menagerie (3 kittens, 1 old-man cat, and 1 year-old puppy) aren’t in the mood to cheer me up, I have a fallback plan…the animal shelter I volunteer at! Tons of snuggly cats and kittens to cheer me up, and hopefully I cheer them up as well. Whenever I see the tabbies, I always get the urge to have them pose in pictures with makeup, like Tabs!
Hi Karen! How’s your Saturday so far? It’s already Sunday here in Malaysia and my Saturday was great…because I managed to buy 3 of the latest Paul & Joe Fall 2011’s lipsticks! (Talk about being greedy ey? :p) That means a hole in my purse but hey, a happier me! Have a great weekend! XD
I never worked on a farm, but does farmville count?
I’m still waiting for Dior’s Mitzah palette to come out in the Fall.

Thanks for the giveaway! Today’s just one of those lazy Saturdays…it’s so hot here, there’s hardly anything else to do. I think we left the house for about an hour and a half, and otherwise have just been lounging around inside.
Hi(: I’ve never worked on a farm, but I have owned a rooster before, to the annoyance of my neighbors.
I need to use my brita water bottle.
I can’t wait for Christmas!
your blog gets me through the day 🙂 xo
Why do watermelons have big weddings?
Cuz they cantelope!
(can’t elope)
I really really really want this card to buy NARS eye primer!
I got Soba from MAC recently and am loving it all by itself on my lid for an everyday look!
Yay sephora 🙂
When I have one of those mornings, I put on some extra lipgloss and grab a cup of coffee with some vanilla in it Perks me up and keeps me from just crawling back into bed!
I think I need this e-gift card, because there is a sad lack of the Urban Decay Naked palette in my life.
Been loving mac club eyeshadow! Easy and quick smoky eye!
No farm for me. But I did just pick some fresh figs from our tree. 🙂
Taking the NY bar exam next week and I’m hoping to win $50 to spend as a reward for myself after spending this entire summer locked indoors studying (not to mention, terrible breakouts from stressing!) 🙁
hope i win!
ooh, if i win this, i’m buying a nars eyeshadow.
We used to have chickens for the eggs!
I’d love my own personal cat tower! Maybe just settle for a loft bed?
I just got the new Tarte for True Blood palette and it’s amazing; I especially like V.
It’s raining in the desert! Love it!
Ooh 🙂
Your blog is becoming one of my favorites because you have both drugstore and high end makeup posts :).
I <3 mash potatoes. Yum.
Still haven’t gotten off work..an hour and a half to go!
It depends on how bad the morning is and what I have to do that day. If it was a Saturday, I would just get back into bed for a few hours. If I couldn’t fall back asleep, I would try to do something relaxing like watch a silly, chick flick or read a book.
Hope you are feeling better!
Nars madere looks amazing!
I LOVE THIS BLOG!!!!! and i really need to spend $50 at sephora!!!
I would like to try BB cream !! =)
i love sephora!
I just got a new Z Palette, and I’m itching to fill it with pretty new eyeshadows 🙂
My grandmother lived on a farm. It was great! We would go out and pick fresh tomatoes and cantaloupe. YUM!
always excited when i see a sephora gift card giveaway! i always do damage there! lol really want to try another nars eyeshadow!
it is sooo hot outside!
i just had surgery to correct a deviated septum on wednesday and im still bedridden and bored, hopefully your weekend has been better than mine!

I’m a city gal, no I haven’t worked on the farm. hahha
I live in the desert 🙁
I am so burnt from the beach! Ahhhhh! That’s about all I can think of right now.
Also, never worked on a farm 🙂
I don’t think I would like a giant human tower to curl up in. I’m afraid of heights, so it would be pretty scary.
It’s soo hot in Chicago… Did you know I wasn’t that big of a cat person until I found this blog?
If I have one of those days, then I must have 1.) A piece of dark chocolate. Richness = decadence. 2.) My favorite lipstick on (YSL Sheer Candy in Lush Coconut) because it just makes me feel a little bit prettier. 3.) A VERY deep breath. Then hopefully I can restart my day. Cocktails work too. 🙂
I grew up at a farm =)
I just made (and of course ate!) a perfect chocolate chip pancake…yummm!!
I hope you have a great day Karen
Bad morning = coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.
OK, I just need to rant for a minute, so feel free to ignore the rest of this comment (but it is here b/c a little perfume pick-me-up would really make the day brighter… keeping my fingers crossed).
One of my coworkers just suddenly quit a couple of weeks ago. No two weeks notice, no warning of any kind, just didn’t show up one day. She had legit reasons (single mom who already has another full-time job + working on a degree), but still, it left us in a bit of a lurch.
So I find out today that another coworker did the same thing yesterday– just called in and said she wasn’t going to show up anymore. So now we’re 2 people short at the busiest time of the year for us. Plus the fact that this 2nd person had a grant funded position and we don’t know if we’re going to be able to apply the rest of the grant to something else or if it is just gone now. PLUS the fact that I really thought I was getting to be friends with both of these people. But maybe that was just me being overly optimistic.
AND this means that tomorrow, when I’d normally be working with these two people, I will instead be working with the only 3 people in the city who can really irritate me, and inevitably will, and all 3 of them at once.
I has a sad.
I used to be OBSESSED with piggys when I was a child. I had all kinds of stuffed animals and loved BABE. Lmao. Aw secretly I’d still love a piggy.
Never worked on a farm but been to one my Uncle runs.
Getting my purple lipstick on for summer and i’m lovin it. 😀
I am a country girl, but i never “worked” on a farm! Have family with farms but never had to do any of the hard labor 🙂
have a good weekend 🙂
Kinda sad to hear about Amy Winehouse today 🙁 she was so talented…
All I can think right now is that it is too hot to cook dinner. Hopefully the hubs doesn’t mind!
So nice of you to always do these giveaways Karen!
When I have one of those mornings I go back to sleep!
Had some sucky customer service at Sephora today, but alas I still want this giftcard lol
Ugh so hot here in the East, which it was winter 🙂
Once I was an apple on the orchard when farmer came and shined. I happy. Sun gleam sparkle for my bee. Yipee!
I’m planning to do a stint WWOOFing soon. It stands for Willing Workers On Organic Farms and basically, you go stay on farms anywhere in the world, and in return for your help on the farm, you get free food and board. Good way to see a new part of the world, methinks!
i have to work all weekend, but winning this sephora gc would perk me right up!
ditton on the sadness of Amy Winehouse.. so young and so talented 🙁
Random comment: I am OVER the bugbites of summer!
and totally retweeted for you! thanks for the opp!
Never lived on a farm but my good friend has a cow and a lamb. They like to snuggle together. Nature is cute, except for when it involves bugs.
Hi! never worked on a farm, but am from a redneck small town, so it’s pretty much the same thing! xoxo!
I totally retweeted you! 😀
As for random comment: STILLLLLLLLLLLLL getting over the shock of HP finally ending. Call me the hugest Harry Potter geek EVER but I was in a state of denial, and now I’m still distressed D:!!!! (Also, don’t kill me, but Draco Malfoy’s my favorite character..haha.)
I just got the Tarte Glow Your Way to Gorgeous set and I loooove it.
When I was a teen, I worked at a farm candling eggs!
It’s been pouring rain all weekend. It’s a good time to go shopping!
It’s not too late for me to have a Harry Potter wedding is it? A week is PLENTY of time!
Yup, I’ve tried a bit farming, it sure was tiring, but there was something good about it. My grandparents live on farms, & sometimes I do visit them.
Sorry you didn’t sleep well and I hope it’s a better snooze tonight!
I worked on a sod farm once.
finally got a chance to head to Sephora today, so many new items! Decided to just get a Makeup Forever lipstick though 😛
Love marbled nail polish!
What do you think rainbows taste like? I happen to believe they don’t taste like skittles!
I just got the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary eyeshadow palette, i am so excited !!!
I did a lot of goofy stuff when I was a kid at my granny’s farm…..saw snakes, climbed trees, played with chickens 🙂

Well, I live right next to a farm, so close enough. It’s nice because they sell fruit and stuff there, but the smell can be pretty bad. 😛
i live in one of the few large-for-the-midwest cities in iowa, so tho i’ve been to farms, i’ve never worked on one. i do have two cats and 19 (i think) fish. does that count?
I have not, in fact, worked on a farm.
No, I’ve never worked on a ranch or a farm… I don’t think there are ANY FARMS in Hong Kong, come to think of it, hahahahahaha.
I hAve two puppies. Hanna and Lucie who air next to me whenever I do my makeup
I love your relationship with your cat, haha! Too cute.
Coffee is the savior of all mornings!
Summer is almost halfway over!
Happy Saturday! I hope I win the gift card so I can buy a bunch of stuff you’ve recently reviewed!
I’ve never worked on a farm, but i always liked the idea of having one with all the open spaces
My weekend has been sooooo busy!!! Oddly enough, I am excited for Monday because I have it off!
It’s too hot! But my Lorac foundation is light enough that I don’t look crazy after I sweat from crossing the street.
I just bought a new foundation today – Givenchy Photo Perfexion (that spelling annoys the crap out of me but at least it’s a great product)!
I saw Friends With Benefits and Captain America yesterday. FWB was good aside from the typical profanity and sex scenes (which of course should be expected in any “R” rated movie but especially in a movie with a title and topic like that lol; I’m only 18 so stuff like that are “new” to me). Captain America was AMAZING the story was on point and the acting and graphics were great . Not to mention Chris Evans is so fine!
I’m tired from work, here’s hoping I win!

When I have one of those mornings I stay in bed and cuddle with my dog : ). She makes me feel better.
I totally NEED a vacay! But I think a mini shopping spree to Sephora would be a great pick me up!
craving some oysters & chicken wings mm…
I’ve never worked on a farm, but I don’t think I would do too well. I love animals, but I hate getting dirty 😛
I have never worked on a farm but my college roommate lived on one and raised show cows, so I got to hear lots of fun stories about that…
when im having one of “those mornings” i get some coffee, lay on my bed, watch the news and ignored everyone else.. oh wait i think i do that even if im not having one of those mornings lol
I know I need to go to bed, but I’m wide awake! Spending my time browsing the internet it is!
The international fireworks festival tonight was not as good as last Wednesday’s, America always blows everyone out of the water >.>

Would buy lots of pretty new makeup with this!
I regret passing on the Chanel Ombre Perlees. AH!
My random comment: I’m looking at these Milani HD Advance lipsticks and I’m very intrigued. Can they possibly compare to the Dior Serum De Rouge?
I had to put my kitty to sleep today 🙁
had 5 chicken before in the city
So.. being from TEXAS most would think I ride a horse everywhere I go. Much to all of your dissapointment, I went to a friends ranch, rode on a horse, and had an uncontrollable migraine for days!!! If that doesnt show Im a city, I dont know what will!
ive never worked in a farm, but my granddaddy and uncles were fishermen in the province on the philppines and i helped fix fishnets. that kinda counts? lol
I’m always comment number 3 hundred and something something…never fails. Not wacky, but I went fishing with my hubby and dd today in our mountains. It was wonderful.
Cheese is the best food in the world
I’ve been you’tubing how to make an ice cream cake. I plan to make one for my fiance’s birthday on Wednesday, hope I don’t mess it up lol 🙂
This really isn’t farm related, but last month I was bit by a koala!! I’m a Canadian girl, doing part of my law degree in Australia. A few friends and I went to an animal sanctuary because we were dying to hold a koala and get our pictures taken. I went first and he bit me! His trainer said this meant he liked me, as male koalas get violent during mating season (!!)
Anyone else watching Spy Myung Wol? 😀
I milked a goat in my 1st grade field trip to the petting farm. It was by far one of the most bizarre experiences I have ever had.
Yes, I’ve worked on a farm when I was on my elementary days. I remember those days when my siblings play on the hay and mud.
I remember visiting a quail farm when I was in kindergarten. At the time, I really loved quail eggs. So when they gave out free quail eggs at the end of the session, I kinda went…crazy? And the teacher had to gently remind me to not take anymore, ha.
i LOVE SEPHORAAAA!
Had a fantastic day, now time to hit the hay.
I didn’t work in a farm but if given a chance, why not?
When I have one of those mornings, I just head out for a cappuccino. (:
Never been or even seen a farm in real life, but always wanted to have one.
I love Sephora! We had some poultry and pigs in our farm! Weird combination, but yeah. 🙂
I just got back from a night at the gay bar-I’m feeling out fabulous-ed, and need some pretty things to get me back in the game:)
Establishing new friendships can be so challenging esp. when they go against established social constructs! Wish me luck!
If I ever have “one of those mornings” i just try to take a nap later on in the day and try not to be cranky >.<
Whenever I have those dull, drab mornings that I don’t feel like doing much of anything at all, I just get up from bed, take a cold shower, and snuggle back in bed 😉
There are so many things that I want from Sephora right now 🙂
Been wanting to get the Tarte amazonian clay blush for a while now!!! Need some color to stay on my cheeks in this hot weather!
One of the trees in the front yard of my uncle attracts lots of bees every morning. When I was young, like about 4-5 years old and I don’t know what a bee is, I just decided to “catch” a bee with my bare hand. I was so good at it that I easily trapped a bee in my hand (or maybe there were just really lots of bees swarming the tree, lol) Unfortunately, the bee doesn’t seem to like being trapped in my hand and so it poked my palm with its stinger. You can’t even imagine how painful it was and all I can remember was that my palm was red and swollen.
Usually I resort to Skarsgarding when I am having one of those mornings. A little YouTube or Facebook search for Alexander or an episode of True Blood and my mood suddenly improves.
i got in the university i wanted!
I can not wait for True Blood today! Eric! Nudity! YES!
I love your blog Karen! And your cat 🙂 he reminds me of mine. Love tabby cats. Can’t wait for more fall swatches and reviews from you.
I need a jod..
I finally watched the last part of Harry potter today~
Don’t work on a farm but this morning my cats woke me up at 5am when they decided that playing the Mario Andretti game across the bed was a fab idea. They then naturally proceeded to channel tabs and sleep the rest of the day. Beasts!
Oh, I could really use that eGift card.
I would LOVE to win this Sephora gift card! It would call for a girl’s day of shopping!!!
I have never worked on a farm, but every 4th of July we go to my cousin’s cousin’s house which is on a farm. The fireworks look cool because we’re out in the country and it’s nice and dark away from the city lights.
My dad owns his own farm, so I am intimately acquainted with working on a farm 😉
I’ve never worked on a farm in my life!
I want to win it baaaaaadly!!!
Dying to try out those Dr Dennis Gross pads.
Farms all around, and they all stink!
I never worked on a farm but I did work as a waitress.

I grew up in a pretty agricultural area and while I didn’t grow up on a farm (We did have ducks and rabbits), my best friend had horses and chickens, and the school we went to took us to many farms to learn about the local dairy and crop farms in the local area in Oregon.
When I was little I always wanted to have a farm with horses, cows, chickens, etc. Now not so much, but I am thinking that when I eventually buy a house I want a yard big enough for chickens!
Hope I win! Taking the bar exam in 2 days and this $50 ecard at Sephora would be some much needed beauty retail therapy!!
I randomly posted a YouTube video of my makeup collection yesterday. I finally got the courage to start postin ahha. It’s nothing big like a tutorial or review but it’s a step haha. It’s a slideshow of my collection and how I store it lol. Baby steps right? Loll
I Wish they had sephora in the UK
We just painted a peace sign on the shaved side of my head. It’s pretty cute.
I’ve worked on the next thing after a farm.. 😉 Hehe.. selling the wool!! Yarn, oh yeah!
I’m with Tabs. But winning the gift card would make it all better. Thanks for the chance at a giveaway!
I’m having a bad day! Boo!!
When I’m in a bad mood I either put on some of my favourite hand lotion (it smells like cupcakes!) or I…have a cigarette. Bad habit :/
Hope I win! Need me some Lining Proof product. Time to clean the house…
I loVe sephora!
Never worked on a farm. Lol
When I have a bad morning, I go for a nice long ru–…ok, who am I kidding?When I have a bad morning, I normally stay in bed until the morning is mostly gone or I force myself out of bed and avoid any eye/physical contact with my husband until I have a cup of tea (he’s British and got me hooked on the stuff) and some cereal.
My Grandparents had a farm….. Horses, Chickens, Cows, Emu’s, Ostriches, Barn Cats….
Very fun place to visit.
When I’m having one of those days, I love to check your website for new pictures of Tabs! Totally perks me up.
I would love to buy the urban decay naked palette! And I have never lived on a farm but my grandma does!
I would love to win! I really want the naked palette!
i need a $50 Barnes & Noble gift card! hahah I think I’m going to finally read the Hungry Games trilogy. I’m slow to catch on sometimes!
I once took a school field trip to a farm.
this heat is turning me into human bacon
I cannot stand the heat! There is a massive heat wave where I am and I am meeeeeelting.
I love Sephora! 😀
Hey Karen, keep up the good work and post more fashion pix of Tabs lol we love Tabs!
I had the best day yesterday. First, hubby and I dropped the kid off with grandma. Freedom for two weeks! w00t! Next, I got to browse the beauty aisles at Target. We don’t ahve a Target where I live, so this is a treat. They ahd the Sonia Kashuk flat top brush I wanted a backup of on clearance for 5 bucks so I bought two (all they had left) plus the eyeshadow brush that was also on clearance. I also got another NatureLuxe foundation (a little darker this time for summer), some organix moroccan argan oil conditioner (awesome), that Caress body wash with juniper oil you reviewed recently (also nice), plus a couple more sports bras and another pair of yoga pants.
After Target, hubby and I went to three more state historic sites that were in the area. You know the numbered historic sites? The numbered ones listed here: http://ohp.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=21387? We’ve been working on visiting as many as we can. We’ve about finished Santa Barbara and Ventura counties with a couple of chunks taken out of Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo. Whenever we go out of town we check to see if we’ll be close to any! Yesterday we visited one in Newbury Park andf two in Simi Valley. Fun!
We finished with dinner at the Cheesecake Factory at the Oaks Mall on the way home. Today we’ll both finish up our project/test for summer term at scholl then see Harry Potter. Yay! Been waiting for this!
wearing my last sephora purchase on my fingers and toes: OPI’s “And a Cherry on Top”
(opaque vivid maraschino). Thinking about Urban Decay’s Naked palette as my next purchase….
Old MacDonald had a farm, EE-I-EE-I-O.
And on that farm he had a cow, EE-I-EE-I-O.
With a moo moo here and a moo moo there
Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo
Old MacDonald had a farm, EE-I-EE-I-O.
I want the new wet n wild trios
Take pity on me… my husband is making me watch Back to the Future 3 right now.
When I have one of those morning I down an extra cup of tea and dive right on in!

I was going to venture to the pool today… but I’m afraid I might spontaneously combust in this heat!
I come visit your blog whenever I see makeup that I want to buy. We have similar coloring, so if it looks good on you, I figure that it will look good on me. Keep up the blogging!
sephora is heaven 🙂
My head is aching 🙁 I would love a shopping spree at Sephora to make it better!
i’m having one of those days where i can’t wake up! perhaps a nap is in order…
I love mimosas
I’ve been crunching on Werther’s Original candies like they’re going out of style!
When things get rough I head to the beach! 🙂
I am getting my nails done tomorrow and am debating between a pastel peach color or milky white/pink, as I have been getting a lot tanner!
Santa Cruz daytrip w/ my homegirls today ^_^
I’m watching Knocked Up and will be going shopping later. Good Sunday!
goin’ river floating today… can’t wait to get in the ice-cold water! 🙂
I would love to try some of the new NARS products from sephora!
I used to visit my grandparents’ farm when I was younger. I loved it!
Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
When I have one of those mornings I just think of my wonderful children and husband. 🙂 Oh, and I believe in karma so whatever you put out there comes back to you!!
A Sephora trip needs to happen before I head back to campus!
Just got back from the farmer’s market – a nice, fresh vegetarian crepe finished off with a cool float. And I got loaded up on fresh veggies for the next few days. 🙂 I love summers!
Hay sunday!
I actually have worked on a ranch! And ripped my pants doing it!! haha
I never worked/lived on a farm, but when I was younger I always wanted one. Still have yet to live up that dream
I flew a tiny little plane this weekend – so pumped up! Hopefully I can get a pilot license soon.
I think Tabs needs a date. =)
Hi.
I took a nap because I kept snacking.
Happy lazy Sunday Karen. You should try planting basil also…it grows pretty well in the east bay!
Tabs is getting cuter everytime.
When I have “one of those mornings”, I try to sleep in :p I usually wake up with a headache…It’s horrible
i want a cat like urs!
When I have “one of those” mornings, I usually like to take good care of myself, usually involving going on a run, eating well that day, or spending a few extra minutes on my makeup and hair. It helps to get through a rough day with a little more confidence. :]
Lovely blog! Just stumbled across it after following you on Twitter & I’m so glad I did!
I grew up on a farm, so there was a lot of working involved. 🙂
It’s finaaaallly summer in Vancouver! Yesterday, the warmth was shortlived but today it’s wonderful 😀 but I’m inside working on my presentation =(
I was watching some beauty videos on youtube so I definitely have some products in mind that I can’t afford.
Grew up on a farm, and loved it. Loved being able to see a lot of sky every day on top of being outside a lot……except for the days when it was super-rainy or hot.
Anywho, thanks for another great giveaway opportunity, Karen!
i got a job at cineworld today yay!!!!:)
I truly love my new job – I work in a cosmetics department! 🙂

My new kitty has decided he likes to pounce my feet when I am sleeping, not so fun but I still love him!
i’ve been having one of those mornings all week, need a summer pick-me-up!
I think listening to pandora helps me with those mornings, I just have to put s station like Kesha or LMFAO. Also I was born on a farm, seriously, weird right!?
finally watched harry potter 7 part II last night…and now my life feels empty hahaha…do i smell a shopping spree at sephora coming my way soon? 😉
Kesha station or LMFAO station on pandora helps me with those mornings. Oh and I was born on a farm, weird right?!
I didnt have one of those mornings, But yesterday, I had one of those “afternoons” ugh. Couldnt get out of the funk, so I took a nap, and then shrugged past it, and went to the drive in with my hubby, and after that, it was much better 🙂
I’ve had a pretty good day. The weather has been beautiful and I had some quality playground time with my little boy.
this is my comment.
LOL just kidding but seriously, if i won this gift card, i would go crazy ! 😉
I’m enjoying the last of the weekend and trying to find the perfect blush for my NC42 skin. 🙂

thanks for the giveaway!
I hope, I hope, I hope I win!!!!
I love how you’re growing catnip! I think I’ll do the same for my cat!
I remember the first time i ever went to sephora. I was with my best friend and we were there for hooouuuuurss!!! from then on i knew i was hooked! 😀
Have you seen the Smashbox Softbox palette? Talk about gorgeous! Man could I use this $$ right now…
my cat just left a half eaten lizard on my living room floor…gross.
I’ve never worked on a working farm… but I worked as an archaeologist on what used to be a colonial farm… =D
I’ve never worked on a farm and I’d probably be useless at it since I can’t function at the crack of dawn. I do love animals though 😀
what a hot weekend. this weather needs to cool down stat.
My Grandpa was a large animal vet. and when we were kids, he would let my brother and I go out with him on calls to different farms in South Dakota to look at cows, horses, and pigs. Cows still scare me because they move in the herd together and their heads are so big!
i really love the fat waterproof shadow pencils from sephora brand. I would love to get some more!
love to win for wife
Random, but I totally got to drive a dump truck today. It was so much fun. I was bouncing around in the front seat like a little kid!

Nope, never worked on a farm and never will. Thankful for those that do, though!

I have never worked on a farm. I did milk a fake cow for a contest at a church fair once. I didn’t do too well. lol
Today I played volleyball! (-:
My dad worked on a farm.
It finally feels like summer in Vancouver! It’s been raining and cloudy up until now.
I haven’t worked on a farm. Oh man if I got this giftcard I would love to pick up some lorac makeup. !!!
in Korea, my parents had pet chickens that would sleep on their backs with their wings open (so cute!) they had to leave them behind when they came to America, so they gave them to the church. don’t know what happened to them afterwards though 🙁

Farms are cool.
I’m feeling a bit slow recently, too, and I blame the heat! I usually indulge in something cold and sweet, a.k.a. ice cream. How about a mango and cream bar? 🙂
just came back from camping! it was AWESOME!
just came back from camping!!! now watching face/off. i love this movie!
Hey thanks for the giveaway!
Made my first Lorac purchase this past weekend. Excited to try it!
I’ve got 6 days to move out of my apartment! eek! so i’m going to be extra busy and tired at work this week!
What do you do when you have “one of those mornings?â€
If I don’t have to be anywhere, I just chill on the couch with my cats and a book. Otherwise I let myself have some chocolate for breakfast. 🙂
Have you ever worked on a ranch or a farm?
Other than milking a cow in Ireland once 15 years ago, nope.
I mean come on, am I completely out of my mind?
Yes, but we love you anyway. 🙂
Come to me gift card!!! 😀 Thank you for yet another giveaway, Karen!
