One of the most valuable things I’ll take away from my time here at BlogHer is a motivational trick I actually learned at the San Francisco International Airport on the way here. It’s a great way to get yourself to do things you might otherwise not want to do. In my case, they might be things like getting up early on a Saturday morning, going for a run, doing laundry, vacuuming the stairs or cleaning the kitchen.
In practice, it works a little something like this: “If I get out of bed by 6:30 this morning, I can have a Pink Berry.” Or, another variation, equally effective: “If I clean the toilet today, I can have a Pink Berry tonight.”
It’s surprisingly effective. 🙂
Rise and shine, morning glory! It’s going to be a beautiful day. I’ll be over at the conference hall for most of it, but I hope to be able to walk around in the sunshine later this afternoon before the sun sets. I told myself that if I pay attention in class today, I can have a Pink Berry this afternoon…
I hope your workweek ended on a good note; let’s make sure your weekend starts on one.

On an unrelated note, though I have to say this- I love love love love love Uniqlo!

Zeadelle says
Hi Karen, whenever I travel, I always make sure that I have a lip & cheek tint with me. Promise, even if you dont have 5 min for touch-ups, it would just take you seconds to apply and you would look gloriously better on photos! A big must-have for school and travel : D

Cacau says
It is winter here, but I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil, so winter sometimes gets as hot as summer and, the next day, is back being cold again. It’s a bizarre weather. Here you must always carry an umbrella, a coat and some shorts, in case the weather changes. 🙂

I took classes in Spain then vacationed in Greece this summer. It was incredible; a once in a lifetime experience! My best travel beauty tip would be: Don’t forget spf for your lips!! I was good to go with Dr. Lewinn for Kinerase 3D Lip Sculpt (Spf 20), while all my friends were complaining of chapped and sunburned lips.
monika says
Pink Berry is a perfect treat to talk urself into cleaning toilet:):):)
Chrissy says

Yesterday I was at Sephora to shop and redeem the VIB sample box. I got the new UD lash curler and a nail polish. But the UD 15 Yr Anniversary Palette was sold out =(.

Emily says
Best travel tip? Ummm take nothing and buy all new when you get there!
Saffron says
Woo thanks for the giveaway. Yesterday I asked a guy out and he said yes! With an exclamation point! I don’t always get a lot of mileage being tall and unintentionally intimidating and assertive. Made my week.
sienna says
would love to win this, really want to try the new clinique cream eyeshadows and would love benefit dallas!
Liz says
I sprained my ankle pretty bad during training this week – torn tendons and all. So I’m treating myself to tacos and a movie tonight for not feeling sorry for myself. 🙂
Jen says
Almost 8 years ago I did attend a conference that changed my life….little did I know that the cute boy I met the first night of a 5 day conference would be my husband less than two years later.
indoorkitty says
I’ve attended conferences as a presenter, which can be quite stressful. I’ve also been a volunteer at conferences too, that’s a easier on the nerves but the T-shirts are usually eye-searingly ugly so attendees can pick you out from a mile away. Think neon green or high-lighter yellow. Yeah. I still have the shirts kicking around for wearing on laundry days. 😉
Enjoy being an attendee!!!
Grace says
This would be the greatest gift for my birthday tomorrow!!
Liz says
I wish I had had pinkberry for breakfast this morning with my coffee >_<

Kelsey says
Have you ever attended a conference?
Yes, a teaching conference (I teach special education)
What’s your favorite flavored lipgloss?
Burt’s Bees – it smells like pink grapefruit!
Best travel beauty tip?
Bring less makeup/beauty products than you think you’ll need. Trust me, you won’t use them as much as you think that you will. (This advice always works for me, anyway.)
What’s been the highlight of your summer so far?
Last month my husband’s brother, his wife and their adorable baby son came to visit us for a week. (They live in Arizona and we live in NY state, so we hardly ever get to see them.) It was amazing. 🙂
Julia says
My favorite lip product right now is Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm.
Tracy says
Summer is going by too quickly! I’m trying to enjoy the sun as much as I can, and one of the best things about summer is rocking a new pair of sunglasses!
Georgia Y says
Going to OC fair today! Sweat proof makeup includes Revlon Colorstay, MAC blot powder, and Stila stay all day waterproof liner in black.
And, I go to lots of conferences, I’m a med student. :o) have fun!
Vanessa says
When I go on vacation, I always pack my full range of face makeup, plus a few of my staples for eyeliner and eyeshadow. I pick just a few lip products and off I go!
Michelle says
I love California. I grew up and lived there for most of my life, just moved out of it about 5 years ago. I really miss the weather there! It’s always raining here. 🙁
Svetlana says
Is it possible to get this gift card?
Olivia says

The highlight of my summer was the birth of my first niece! She’s perfect!
MoreBoopThanBetty says

Sarah Lagoon says
I just got my UD 15 year palette!!!!!!!!
des says
this summer has been wonderful, we went on a week long cruise and then to lake tahoe 🙂
Jocelyn says
Going to yet another wedding tonight. #5 of the summer. Getting a little sick of all of them, the good thing is I get to play makeup!
miso says
i have a new zit that popped up anyone try the TANDA blue machine….debating whether it’s something to buy or not….
Christine Carlson says
I wish they were not allowed to use fake eyelashes in mascara adds, it is so annoying.
Patty says
I just tried French Affair nail polish by Essie and can’t decide if I like it or not. Hmm.
LilyM says
I confess I’ve never licked off lip any gloss (hate the feel?) but when I exfoliate them with my old faithful, sugar+honey, I sort of sneak a bit 😛
…not with the scrubbed mix, of course!
Aelin says
I love your giveaways
loofah says
froyo is the best!
Grace Vick says
Going to Boston for a make up shopping trip and would very much enjoy a gift card to Sephora! 🙂
Siena says
I prefer unflavored lip glosses–I’ve had some pretty bad experiences with the flavored variety haha. But I use the same little “motivational trick” too. It’s generally along the lines of: If I run, I’ll get that better behind 😀
nadya says
mmmmmm saturday
Janet says
Whoo, Sephora!
Jones says
Blargh, I hate having houseguests :c
amanda says
highlight of my summer so far was my trip to mexico with my boyfriend and his family!
Erin says
I love Pinkberry!! Tasti-d-Lite is good too!!!
Marian says
I think similarly to the way you do. I motivate myself to exercise in the morning by allowing myself to eat after I doi it….nothing special like Pinkberry….just breakfast. No, exercise, no breakfast. It’s very effective!
helen says
it sounds like you are having a great time at the conference. i haven’t been to a conference in several years! I’m sure Tabs is missing you something fierce!
Stephanie Fabian says
I’m spending a week at Virginia beach this week with my hombre!! Can’t wait!

NeenaJ says
Use a lip palette to take various lip colors. It saves space and is lighter than carrying 6 tubes. Mine’s Japonesque from Ulta.
Marianne says
Lately I’ve been OBSESSED with finding the perfect all-over-lid shade. Nothing too cool, nothing to warm, nothing to light, nothing to dark. $50 at Sephora with definitely give me the perfect way to find my dream lid color!
Steph says
I read Sam’s review of MUFE concealer and now I need some… sadly, that means I have to drive 8 hours to Illinois to find a Sephora store and get shade matched. On the plus side, my parents live 20 minutes from it. 🙂
Andrea says
I’ve never tried pink berry 🙁 we don’t have it in Canada!!
Yaz says
Sephora …favorite place to shop for some really awesome goodies
adriana says
Hi all! Since this is a “Sephora” contest Iwant to tell you about my 2 favourite products from Sephora. First is a lipstick that I am not leaving the house with it on my lips: Sephora Lip Attitude – Glamour, a hydrating, semi-sheer lipstick. It’s long lasting and offers moisture for an incredible long period. Moreover, the smell is fruitty…which might be a problem for those who eat their lipstick because it smells too nice. From this I ave right now: Pink Caress 05 ,Tender Rose 04 , Sentimental Rose 10 and my favourite color: Mauve Emotion 09. It’s my fav color because it suits to my complexion. Cold, mauvish colors suit best my skin color. Second product is the sephora Mineral loose powder foundation that is fabulous! It doesn’t have parfum, parabens, no allergene and is non comedogenic. It even has hydrating ingredients. Which I consider very important. For the price I paidon it , it rocks! Looks so natural and light and covers perfectly!
Sheena says
I’m going to Europe next week, Cant wait!!!! 🙂
Karrie says
I am new to your site!!! Loving the blog and all of the great product tips!

Highlight of my summer so far: dinning by the river with my brothers and sisters on a hot summer night 🙂
Tiersa says
I like to wear a melon and cucumber mask while i’m ironing. This way, I am multi-tasking and giving myself something that is enjoyable at the same time; as well as making my skin look good!
Danni says
The highlight of my summer? My 10 year old son had a bone marrow transplant in May and it was a great success!
Robyn says
thanks a lot Karen, now I’m craving froyo! ahaha (:
Brenda says
It’s 105 degrees today in AR. Bring on fall!
LD says
The best part of most conferences is going out to play and explore the town afterwards!
Cass says
I haven’t tried pinkberry yet. They have a couple of them around Boston but I haven’t been near any when I have been hungry. I will have to check it out!

Beauty travel tip: Jojoba oil serves as a great multi-purpose product. I use it like a serum to moisturize the skin, as an eye-makeup remover, and to de-frizz my curls/waves.

Kristy says
I started my new job this week and I’m beat!
Charlotte says
I like that motivation tip. Another tip that I use is “if you can do it in less than 2 min, go ahead and do it now instead of putting if off.” It’s kind of a way to get down a list of too many to-do’s that may be overwhelming at first!
Alison says
the highlight of my summer was my caribean cruise!!
CC says
I would like to try Pink Berry
Celina says
Trying to figure out how to store my collection in a way so that two sets of little hands don’t get into it 😉

My best travel tip is to bring a microfiber towel for your hair–one that soaks up a ton of water [like the Aquis one!) so that you don’t have to mess with blow dryers and such!
Staci says
My favorite flavored lipgloss was from the MAC collection that had the flavored LipGelees…..I bought 4 back-upS and they are finally gone 🙁

azalia says
Best travel beauty tip? being a person who haaates traveling with lot of baggage I always carry one suitcase and a crossed handbag, I would say my best tip would be travel wipes and compact make up, I have oily skin so this is the only way to control shine plus you can use the wipes for everything!
Nadine says
My favourite summer moment so far was right after Canada day (July 1). My friends and I had a mini reunion for a friends birthday. It was at his parents house at the beach. We had a beach fire and at s’mores <3
Hannah says
My 23rd Birthday is a week from tomorrow, and i still have no idea what i’m going to do 🙁 My friends want to do something fun and outgoing, but i feel like doing something kinda chill :/ Although that may be my lack-of-money talking lol.
Joanna says
My favorite travel tip is to use contact lens cases as mini containers for gels, liquids, creams, etc. It makes it so much easier to pack your beauty products to meet the new carry on standards.
Stephanie says
Yay, another give away.
Karen says
oh i hope i win. I need those new MUFE liquid liners!
Jamie says
I have never attended a conference and even though my friends complain about them, I must admit to a bit of jealousy. I want to go to one work conference just to see what it’s like.

R.I.P. Boarders. Even though I was always a Barnes & Noble girl…
Harpa says
I´ve only attended conferences about child sexual abuse, mainly because I work with adult survivors as a, as I like to call it, “guider”. guiding them through their healing process. I´m not a professional counselor but I use my own experience with child sexual abuse and my healing journey to help others. It´s the most rewarding “job” I´ve ever had. I love going to conferences, learning more so that I can be better at my job and also meeting people that work in the same field.
Carol says
I finally found the wnw Gilded Age trio that everyone’s been talking about. I wasn’t even looking for it. But since it was the last one in the display I had to get it.
adia says
Cherry flavored lipgloss! 😀
Lillie says
I wanna win!
CynthiaCCC says
yeah, I know you pick these things randomly, but come on, do a solid for a fellow aggie, okay?
oh, and my favorite flavor of lipgloss is Spicy Pear Cobbler by philosophy. it was a holiday special and they don’t make it anymore, alas.
Bridget says
I just tried Lancome’s Juicy Tubes for the first time this week! I am in looooove with this gloss! It has a very light sweet smell and equally delicate sweet taste!! 😉
Barbara says
When traveling, pack what you want. Then take out 40%, you don’t need extra weight holding you back. I also try to avoid loose powders!
Jessi says
I just got back from my bf’s parents’ house and had some AWESOME dinner. Man, I love free food, haha.
Soo says
I recently made my first legitimate MAC purchases last week. I got your Evolution Revolution lip glass and Jealous Wakes eyeshadow. I haven’t taken anything out of their boxes yet, but I’m really excited to try them out! I hope to send you a pic of the lip glass with our pups. it’s too bad we can’t have cats since I’m allergic 🙁
J says
I’ve been trying to get out of conferences for years!
Carrie Ann says
My favorite flavored lip gloss is either the Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker because of the subtle color or the Starburst Strawberry Watermelon Lip Smacker because of the actual flavor.

Alix says
A Pinkberry just opened up not far for me… gotta try it soon!
Natalie says
I’ve never had Pink Berry – jealous!
JenJen says
The highlight of my summer have definitely been becoming a makeup addict, which has turned into a full fledged NARS addiction. I have bought 4 NARS blushers(Exhibit A, Oasis, Luster, and Dolce Vita) and one NARS eyeshadow(Galapagos) this summer, and planning to get even more.
Jennyv says
I’ve been a good girl avoiding sephora but I think its time to visit again…
Yujin says
i don’t like sticky lipglosses!
Sunny says
My summer is over, I’m a teacher. Back to school:)

I attend several conferences a year for my job, but have never attended anything related to beauty or blogging though I think it would be so fun!
Wynell says
I always wanted to attend a conference
MODowd says
My fave scented lipgloss is Too Faced Glamour Gloss–the scent is subtle but lovely, and the plumping agents don’t bother my lips after an hour or two like most do.
Colleen says
Sephora gives meaning to my life.
🙂 lol
Jane says
I am addicted to fro yo as well, but sadly Pinkberry has not made its way down to South FL yet. Gotta settle for the self-serve fro yo stations like Yogurtland, who currently have Sanrio themed cups & spoons. Hello Kitty biodegradable spoon anyone??
nelle says
lazy saturday
Fitrina says
I need to go to USA soon to get all the awesome makeup deals! 🙂 Rather jealous of how drugstore items have cheap pricetags! Definitely not the case here in Singapore, where drugstore items still cost a considerable amount of money.
Jillian says
i love ur blog!!!!
chibu74 says
I love Nyx lipglosses…love the way they smell

xochil says
Best summer highlight is spending it with my girlfriend 😉
Tina Lane says
Highlight of my summer is pretty much going home and visiting my family and friends. Nothing can ever beat that 🙂
Nina says
I like chapstick more than lipgloss. I don’t like adding too much color to my lips
Amy from NY says
My travel tip is to find a store (ex: Target) and get a little clear travel bottle set, it’s great to fill/pack your favorites & everyday beauty items (shampoo, lotion, moisturizer, etc.). The sizes of the little containers usually meet the airline guidelines/restrictions, and that way you can bring all the things you love to use most, and all products are visible to know what is what!
Kristina says
My best travel beauty tip is that natural is the best. Heavy makeup can be a hassle when traveling
Katherine says
Maybe it’s my lucky week this week!
MARY-FRANCES says
My fav lip product is Pistachio from Crazy Rumors.
Myr says
Here we have Peachwave! Tweeted too.
Barbara says

Jennifer says
My favourite lip product is Revlon Superlustrous Lipgoss in pink pursuit.
Jamila says
Today I went to a birthday party for a family friend whom I am no longer that close with and I felt so awkward cause I hadn’t seen everyone in so long. I was out of my comfort zone cause my family was sitting at a different table from me so I didn’t really have anyone to talk to. It was kind of uncomfortable at the beginning but soon things got a lot better and I left at the end of the night laughing and pretty much had a good time! Sometimes it’s good to be out of your comfort zone lol. Especially when I got reaquainted with one of my close girl friends from a while back and discovered that she’s an avid makeup collector as well 😀
Erika Beck says
Here’s a great airplane travel beauty tip: Buf-Puf singles! I love them and use them all the time, but they are perfect for travel since they are basically a little sponge (great for scrubbing off airport grime or sightseeing sweat!) and are covered with a very mild soap, activated in water, so it doesn’t count as a liquid! Bonus:Put them in a baggie, squash them flat and seal it- they take up practically no room and are light as a feather!
Jennifer A. says
I just had a Trader Joe’s mango bar!
linda says
I need to go shopping
Joy says
My sister and her hubby are moving to California this year!
Diane h says

Sephora-the “candy store” for make up addicts 🙂

I remember the only conference I’ve attended was one back in 8th grade for leadership. A bunch of leadership classes from all different schools in the area came together and brainstormed ideas of what we could do. It was a blast, I had so much fun!
Sara says
I went downtown Chicago today and walked a lot!
Kim says
I love Dexter
Cassi Teague says

mayrei says
I am so ready for fall. I’m already shopping for pumpkin scented candles to fully get me in fall-mode.

Whenever I travel long distances I always have to have the heaviest moisturizer possible. Something about long flights and bad airplane air makes my dry skin go haywire.
Sarah H. says
The best part of summer is frozen margaritas! Of course that’s the best part of every season.
Brianna G. says
My travel beauty tip is solid body lotion, shampoo and conditioner! I get the massage bars from Lush and the shampoo and conditioner from Fortune Cookie soaps. It saves space since you don’t have to claim it.
Jessic says

Dee says
School starts up again in a week – so not ready for summer to end!

I like to bring a travel sized container of my face moisturizer with me on the plane!
Amy says
Totally unrelated to anything, but I have to thank you for mentioning the Trader Joe’s fruit bars! I’m addicted now! I only go for the Raspberry and Coffee flavours though because, apparently, mango just isn’t my thing. I tried them though!
Lorraine says
I have been reading thebeautydepartment.com lately, rlly liking it!
Tasha says
Fro yo is DELICIOUS! I love putting mochi in original tart, yum yum.
Serena says
Da-yum. I used to love SMACKERS lipgloss. Remember that stuff?!
Daniella says
I ran out of a Tarte two ended lipgloss that smelled so delicious, a burnt sugar caramel smell. The colors were beautiful too. If I win this week, that’s what I am getting at Sephora 😉
Christy O says
I have to wake up in five hours. But I am looking forward to breakfast.
amanda says

Love your reviews for fall. Best part of summer has been the weather and being able to buy beauty products in America again!! I was in Italy for 2 months and it was quite hard to find certain things.

The best thing I did this summer is coming back early from a solo hiking trip to spend more time with my partner. Sure, I feel a bit disappointed in myself for abandoning my “quest,” but it was great for my marriage!

The highlight of my summer so far has definitely been my month-long (too short still) trip to China to visit relatives. In the scorching summer heat, however, I didn’t wear that much makeup at all, so my advice for traveling would be to pack lightly! You can always buy more at your destination. :]
Aminah says
Last week I finally got my hands on the UD naked palette! I have been using it everyday since.
Thanks for this awesome giveaway. I really hope I win 🙂

Harry Potter was a fun highlight for the summer. I will miss no longer having a HP movie to look forward to.

The highlight of my summer was my fiance getting a job in town and moving down here 😀
Tehra says
My beauty tip for traveling is to have a great powder to freshen my face before I land a good gloss to look fresh when I arrive to my destination!
gabby says
I had to get a root canal done 2 weeks ago and I got sick at the same time. It is two weeks later and I am still sick and the worst part is that the temporary crown I got put in keeps cutting my tongue. Have to feel better soon because kids start school in 3 weeks and I have to finish back to school shopping!!!!!
Christine says
You know, I’ve yet to find a flavored lip gloss that I can handle the taste of, but that’s probably for the better because then I would want to lick it all off, heehee :-).
Inday says
Bonne Bell Liquid Lipsmacker in Strawberry Kiwi!
mennabop says
Pink Berry is certainly a great motivator. Yummy.
I wanted to go to a journalism conference, but I couldn’t take the time off to do that and go see my mom. Eh, it was a good trade-off.
Amanda says
I’ve never been to a conference.. I love strawberry and pineapple lipgloss.

BooBooNinja says
j got back from a trip…to see this giveaway!
i hpe this post gets through in time!
peach_ says
I gotta try your reward system to get motivated! My beauty travel tip is to ask for sample sizes of your favorite beauty product, especially skin care, when you purchase them. That way, when you travel you can just take the sample packs instead of a whole bottle/jar, or go through the hassle of bottling them in separate containers.
Bekah says
I just ate an enormous amount of almonds. I’m talking biblical proportions.
Rachael W says
The highlight of my summer has been losing 22 lbs!!!
Think BEautifully says
In the world of concealers, I’m looking for my Ahnold!
Liz says
The only conferences I’ve been to academic ones, haha. I like my lipgloss flavors fruity without being overly sweet or floral.
Katherine says
I’ve had two highlights this summer and they’ve been big ones! First I finally got around to getting my drivers license after putting it off for wayyyy too long! And second I got my first real job at P.F. Chang’s! It’s totally amazing to have freedom and money:)
