I’m really hoping to go to brunch this morning because I’m craving banana pancakes like crazy!
Mmm, pancakes…
Happy Easter weekend! 🙂 You know what I don’t understand? Oatmeal at brunch. Maybe it’s because I have oatmeal for breakfast every other day during the week (I call it gruel). But I figure, if I’m going out to breakfast or brunch, I like to have something a little special, ya know?
Don’t get me wrong — I love oatmeal, but I can’t remember the last time I heard someone say, “We should totally go to this place I heard about for brunch because they have AMAZING oatmeal.”
LOL!
Another of my favorite breakfast/brunch foods: hash browns. I’ve yet to perfect the art of making hash brown at home. Mine are usually overdone.
As much as I love breakfast, I’m not the greatest breakfast cook. I think it takes my brain a lot longer to wake up than it takes my tummy.
What folks are saying…
“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)“Hi Karen and Tabs. Wow! Thanks so much for this! It’s hard to believe I actually won something. I can’t wait to shop my little heart out! Thanks again. Love to Tabs! And I love your blog with the Tabs stories. ;+)”
-Sophie, St Petersburg, FL“Never before have I been so pleased to check my email right before bed!!! Thank you so, so much! I truly enjoy your blog and check it almost daily! Thanks again! This made my night!”
-Melissa, Edmond, OK“Hi Karen. Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I won! :O Thank you so much! You, Tabs, and your blog are amazing! Thank you for keeping me updated on all things beauty and more importantly, for keeping me entertained! Keep doing your thing! 🙂 Thank you again.”
-Jacqueline“Hi Karen. Thank you so much, I’m so excited, I’ve never won anything before. My name is Hana … I just turned 25 (today is my birthday!) Yay! Thank you.”

This is my first time on your blog and I totally love it! I am doing brunch tomorrow and I’m excited! I usually do my make up after breakfast (unless I have someone over). And.. I actually just filled in my eyebrows! LOL! Can’t wait to read the rest of your blog!
Cassidey says
Potato pancakes are one of my favorite breakfast foods! Thanks for the giveaway!
Krystal S. says
I’m having brow issues… I just had them waxed yesterday after a long time of NOT waxing (like maybe 2 months?) because last time I got waxed, I broke out in little bumps above my brows… Well I go to a different place that uses different wax and BAM, broke out again. I give up on above the brow waxing now.
Additionally, I tweeted your above statement here: https://twitter.com/#!/Polish_Galore/status/188662727760285697
Hope I did that one right because you said to Retweet it, but you never tweeted it, so I couldn’t retweet it. :]

Last time I went out for breakfast was probably a month or two ago, I love going out to get pancakes they always taste better than when I do them at home 🙂
Sunny @ Mostly Sunny says
I apply makeup after breakfast! That way I can brush my teeth, wash my face, and then do my makeup. I am very annoying about orders like that :p
Happy Easter, Karen and Tabs! I hope to see Tabs dressed in an Easter costume if there is one!
Ris says
My favorite thing to eat for brunch is portuguese sausage, eggs, and rice. Brunch of champions!
Caitlin says
Brunch is a great way to have your breakfast foods but look fabulous while eating them. I defiantly stumble through regular breakfast with my Jammie’s and hair up in a bun, sleepy eyed.

Danielle says
During the week I usually eat breakfast before I apply makeup…sometimes it’s kind of during. I apply all my base makeup, then eat, then do my eyes/blush/lipstick. 🙂 My tummy determines the order. Massive growling might lead to shaky hands/poked eyes.
I loooove brunch but haven’t been out to brunch since late January or early February. Must rectify soon!
Nina says
I usually apply makeup after breakfast, as I’m a little less zoned out and therefore less likely to poke myself in the eye. I always fill my eyebrows! Without fail 🙂
Isabel says
I love making a scrambled egg sandwich with toasted bread… It’s really good!
Iram says
I LOVE hash browns <3 🙂
I always apply my make up after eating breakfast, I think things would just get a little messy otherwise 😛
Larie says
I used to apply makeup after breakfast, but now on the weekdays it’s before. Because we have no time and we are on a schedule, man! Hahaha.
Erica says
I’m about to start reading The Great Gatsby (and i’m curious to see if Baz Luhrmann’s movie will be better o worse!)
Megan says
We are making a fancy Easter brunch on Sunday! Can’t wait!

happy easter 🙂
Christina says
I’m definitely a morning person!
Sandy says
We had our Easter Dinner last night and today is our 28th Anniversary so we’re going out for dinner! Love your posts Karen, Happy Easter.

My cat learned how to flush the toilet and enjoys it a lot. haha.
Maggie says
I guess I usually do my makeup before breakfast, but that’s because I almost never eat breakfast, lol.
I’m reading A Clash of Kings (second book in A Song of Ice and Fire). It’s pretty dang good! Looking forward to more of the tv series 😀 More Peter Dinklage, yesss!
Jenny says
I tried shaving my dog but he started freaking out halfway through so now he looks like a big fluffy white lion (:
Yukari says
I always fill in my brows! I used to use the Stila powder duo (which I think is discontinued now). Right now I’m using a Japanese brand “Kate” but I’m unsure of what to do when I run out (which is soon..!) I’m thinking either MAC e/s (Brun? Espresso?) or Brow Zings (cause I’m a huge Benefit fan). Although I used Busted from the Naked 2 palette to fill my brows and that looked pretty good too. Decisions Decisions!
Angel says
Omelettes and hashbrowns are hands down my favourite brunch food! So so delicious!!
Happy Easter to you too Karen! 🙂
Kimberly says
happy easter!
samia says

Brianna says
Pancakes FTW!
Xero says
Why do my mom and brother always feel the need to yell at each other…?

Christine says
I’m reading these books called the Beka Cooper series, because someone suggested them if I liked the Hunger Games :D!
Ana says
Going to the last Flames hockey game today! they didn’t make the playoffs this year unfortunately but still fun to go watch!
jennifer says
i don’t go out to brunch much anymore because i’m vegan and there aren’t many vegan-friendly brunch places around here… so instead, my hubby (also vegan) and i make our own brunch at home. we’ll usually make tofu scramble, hash browns, toast, tempeh bacon, grilled tomatoes, and OJ and coffee. i used to live in portland, oregon, and i used to go out for vegan french toast on the weekends. SO GOOD.
eb says
Would so love to win this! I have a ton of things on my Sephora shopping list that I want to get for Spring/Summer. Thanks for the opportunity:)

I love making breakfast for the fam on the weekends, so much more fun than going out to me!

I’m OBSESSED with James Patterson right now. Currently reading the Private series. Love it!
MakeUpNaive says
I definitely love brunch, bitter hot coffee at 10am with some rice (this isPhilippines) and longganiza yum! Dont usually put any makeup on, hence the name Makeup naive. But now im teaching myself the basic principles, i still have a long way to go to perfect my application since i dont have the right tool, but hey i can dream! So winning a sephora gift card would be a dream come true! I pray you will pock me
Sarah says
Hope you have a happy Easter! This is the first year I’ll be without family for Easter, so a friend and I are going to cook brunch for each other after church tomorrow. Eggs benedict, hash browns, and fresh fruit are on the menu, followed by homemade Easter themed angel food cake!

I just started reading Lunch In Paris by Elizabeth Bard! It’s really good so far 🙂

Agata says
Tabs looks very festive. Did you get him an Easter basket or some bunny ears? I love breakfast. I love French toast with cinnamon or raisins, yum! I am working today but tomorrow I am having family brunch at my parents-in-law. I wish I could be with my family in Poland for Easter though, I always miss them the most over the holidays! Happy Easter!

I went out to breakfast about a week ago. It was the first time in a long time. My son took me. 🙂
…the first time my son ever took me out. He’s 20 and has autism. I had to take him to get a physical and he couldn’t eat because they took blood, so he asked me if I wanted to go out for breakfast…..it was so nice!
Amanda G says
I’m hundreds of miles away from family and I’m not a church-goer so I’m going to be pretty much alone this Easter. This is not, however, going to stop me from dying eggs and eating so much chocolate that I think I’m going to to barf. 🙂
Marisa Payne says
Mmmmm hash browns!
Annie says
I can’t wait to eat tons of Starbust jelly beans for Easter!
Marielen M says
Easter at my house means eating lots of grilled lamb and chocolate 🙂
Resa says
The last time I went to brunch was a month ago. We went to this “hip” bottomless mimosa place. It was pretty awful because it sounded like I was in a club. I ended up having to yell to have a decent conversation. My throat was pretty sore after the experience. Did I also mention the food was less than stellar? Yeah, not my best experience at brunch :\.
Meredith says
Oh that sounds pretty awful! I always thought I was a wimp for not being able to stand being in loud places. I always have trouble being heard and then I end up losing my voice the next day!
Meredith says
I’m about to run out the door and play tennis (it’s been forevs – we’ll see just how out of shape I am, lol). So no makeup on my face today!
VictoriaJane says
Makeup before breakfast but AFTER coffee!!
Zhar says
I apply my makeup except lippies before breakfast but hold off on putting on lippie until after I eat breakfast.
Sheila says
breakfast/brunch is my favorite meal ALWAYS! breakfast for dinner is especially one of my favorite things. scrambled eggs and crispy hash browns are probably my fave dish. 🙂
Emily says
Yuuum… my hubby took me out for brunch the other day and I got a huge pecan waffle. So good. Maybe I’ll make breakfast for dinner tonight..
Rikki says
Today is just a terrible day.

aclearcutsign says

Jaymie says
Hmm…the last good book I read was Divergent. It’s similar to the Hunger Games. Currently, i’m reading Delirium. It’s not quite as interesting or exciting as I thought it would be 🙁
Samantha says
I do my makeup after breakfast…I just feel like I don’t need to be all made up to eat my yogurt.

Erin says
Favorite breakfast food is french toast with just a whisper of powdered sugar and syrup. Mmm, so good!
Ashleigh says
I do make after breakfast 🙂
Danii says
I love pancakes. I haven’t had pancakes in a while. Speaking of sweets, my orange tabby Ralphy tried to steal my mom’s cookie while she was eating it. He wanted the crust. 🙂 Does Tabs ever do that? Or is he just a gravy-boy?
mrsshukra says
Having dimsum today!
Amber says
Happy Easter Karen (& Hubs and Tabs)!

I am about to begin reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. It’s one of those stories that I probably should have read by now considering I majored in English, but I’m glad I’m getting around to it now. Thanks for the giveaway!
eight says
HASH BROWNS ARE THE BEST. The BEST.
tk says
I love a big Sunday breakfast complete with sausage, eggs, toast, homemade lattes and fruit. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
marta says
Happy Easter <3
Faith says
On the rare occasions that I manage to do both makeup and breakfast, I usually do them at the same time. The perks of living alone 😛
Jane says
Ummmm. Breakfast. my favorite meal. I agree about the oatmeal, though. When I’m going out to brunch I want waffles . . and bacon.
Anna says
Breakfast always comes before makeup. Gotta have some green tea and food in me first thing!
Melodyy says
Brows unfilled ): Just chillin at home. There are so many books that I need to read for my classes -__- and I am so behind!! ): The last time I went to brunch was about a week ago when I was visiting my cousins at a Crepe place! (:
Stephanie says
Hi Karen and Tabs,
I am terribly ashamed to say that since I’ve started a new workout routine I don’t end up applying my makeup until the afternoon! I workout in the morning and sometimes go for a walk or jog after lunch and then I shower and get dolled up.
I also love big Sunday breakfasts and brunches with mimosas, crepes, and tons of fruit!
Stephanie says
Saw your Easter miracle tweet–you’re an inspiration Karen!!
Liz says
I had a brow wax appointment this morning, so today my brows aren’t just filled in, they’re PERFECT! I may have to go out tonight to show them off, lol.
Karen F says
I love love love oatmeal! I’m wanting to try this idea of cold oatmeal that you put in jars in the fridge overnight with milk and fruit and then just wake up, grab and go!
Alicia G says
I actually rarely go to brunch because I don’t do many breakfast foods! I mainly like meat and carbs, with the exception of not liking waffles or pancakes!!
onegreatsmile says
I recently fell in love with the Milani brow marker. Love. Hopefully, it will love me back!!
Nicole M. says
Just ate the best homemade cheese steak…..mmmmmm!!
Amy D. says
My feet hurt really bad from dance this morning….
Saddy says
I just finished reading The Hobbit – it was very good and unexpectedly funny!
I marvel at the fact that someone thought of such fantastic stories, 75 years ago! I love the LOTR movies (but I didn’t read the books) so I was familiar with the world before diving into the Hobbit. There are so many fantasy stories and movies today, but imagine being a kid in 1937 and reading these….wow!
Lisa says
I read your blog daily and even if I don’t win, I’ll still keep reading! Really enjoy your sense of humor. I have my eyebrows threaded which I like ever so much better than waxing. Don’t have a lot of eyebrows left from years of tweezing, but this way i can make them go whatever way I want them to go. And threading doesn’t hurt my sensitive skin. Happy Weekend!
DalaLuz says
Breakfast foods are my favorite foods, so that makes me love holidays even more 🙂
kprice says
My husband loves breakfast but we don’t have the opportunity to go out often so as a treat I make it for dinner at least once a week. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway!
Kate says
I haven’t been out to breakfast in a long time since I love to whip up big breakfasts at home!
Also, I just need to share that after a LONG long search, I have found my perfect neutral lip color. It’s been hard because I’m dark-haired, dark-eyed but fair skinned with uber pigmented lips. MAC Supreme Sheen in Bare Again, where have you been all my life?
Manu says
Easter brunch with my girls on Sunday…soo looking forward to that…a gift card totally wouldn’t hurt 🙂
Sophie says
Happy Easter weekend to you and Tabs. Does Tabs like brunch? I love brunch, especially French Toast! I need some sunscreen, so I hope I win the giftcard!
Maria says
I always put on my makeup before I eat breakfast….except for my lipstick of course. ^_^ I just like to eat breakfast right before I leave for work so that I can stay fuller longer. Hehehehe!
Laurie McAlpine says
Hi Karen! I apply my make up before breakfast. I use Tarte’s brow pencil in taupe and ♥♥ it! Happy Easter 🙂

The last time I went out for brunch was a couple weeks ago, when I had huevos rancheros for the firs time! yummy =)
WC says
WERK!
Lucas says
Eggs benedict is the way to go when it comes to brunch! yay eggs!
Christine says
I did fill in my brows today, and did the rest of my makeup even though I’m staying in all day. I’ve been using castor oil on my brows for the last few weeks and I have to say, it’s definitely helped to fill in some sparse areas. I almost don’t even need to do my brows, except that I need to color them a little so they match my hair better.
Laura says
I always do my makeup after the breakfast 🙂 that way I can brush my teeth and then apply my fav lipstick!! (just bought some Julie Hewett lipsticks and they are AMAZING!!!)
blkrox says
This weekend is one of prayer for me.
jess says
I am very excited for Easter tomorrow! I am going to make funfetti cake cookies tonight in celebration! I am excited to try a new recipe!

Hi Karen!
Haven’t gone out for breakfast in ages.
I don’t usually fill in my eyebrows.
I wish I was going to stay home and relax but this weekend is full of parties.
PS says
Happy Saturday. Extra crispy hashbrowns for me, please. 🙂 Oh & bacon too.
Jana Ricketts says
Last time I went out for brunch was when my “future” mother-in-law and I went to get a pedicure. :]
Nina says
Here comes Nina CottonTail, hopping down the bunny trail! 😉
Lulu says
Now that you’ve mentioned breakfast foods I’m craving pancakes, eggs, and hash browns! Hmmm
Amanda says
I don’t like oatmeal but I do love hash browns! Now I want breakfast…and it’s almost lunchtime!
stacy says
I eat oatmeal almost every morning, so I am a little predictable. On weekends, we make breakfast tacos. I like to put my makeup on after breakfast, after I brush my teeth.
Would love to win the Sephora card. It’s like a candy strore in there!
jessm says
I have to work instead of going to easter brunch on Sunday! Its so disappointing.
Daniella says
It was a while back, but the last time I went for brekkie we went to a Hawaiian restaurant and had pancakes covered in macadamia cream. They were obscenely delish!
I am currently rereading the Hunger Games because I loved the movie so much!
Mariee says
I usually apply my makeup after breakfast.
VanessaJ says
I spent all morning painting my nails for Easter with pastel colors! 🙂 Luv it!
Deanna G. says
Happy Saturday! 🙂
Katie says
To answer your question – my brows are filled right now! I’m lazing around at home and couldn’t be bothered with makeup for once, but the brows had to be filled, you never know who may come for a visit!
BeckBeck says
My husband and I tried to go out to brunch a few weeks ago and the restaurant was PACKED – like, you couldn’t even walk in the vestibule. So we gave up and went to Denny’s. 🙂
makena macneil says
i do my makeup after i have eaten breakfast!
Rita says
Ahh! I’m dying to win because I really want to try Hourglass at Sephora!
Jean Clare says
I was so stressed out this past week that I went into work accidentally without eye makeup one day. So horrified! I had my face/bronzer done and even had eye primer but ran out the door totally forgetting eye shadows, etc. I just piled on the lip gloss at work. Yep, the natural look.
Silka says
During the work week my breaskfast is a cup of cafe con leche ! sniff that is why I am drooling just thinking what I will have tomorrow at Easter brunch with my hubby.
Jelena says
Is there anyone who thinks “I don’t need another Mac lipstick…”?
Jenny says
Wishing I was a kid again for Easter. Remembering the excitment of waiting on the Easter Bunny to come. Relaxing on this nice Saturday afternoon getting ready to put my face on and go shopping. Happy Easter to you all…
Ellie says
I have so many neutral lip colours. Today I went to MAC and thought I’d get a more punchy lip colour for summer, and I ended up with a shade that looked like a peachy-orange when I tried it on my lips, but when I got home it was a much more muted coral shade. Like a coral-nude. I still love it though, it’s one of my favourite lip colours… but I have way too many natural-ish lip shades!
Lisa B. says
I’m spending time with my family this easter and then going to a party!

Good afternoon Karen! I hope your easter weekend is shaping up to be as lovely as mine.

in when there is a forest all ready there…… 😉

My absolute, absolute FAVORITE meal in the world is breakfast. I’m obsessed with breakfast foods–which sucks cuz all the ones I love are super unhealthy too! I LOVE bacon (cooked until it’s burnt black. That way, it almost dissolves on your tongue. Yum!), hollandaise sauce on ANYTHING (til it’s almost drowning in it), pancakes with lots and lots of butter, eggs and cheese….mmm. I obviously don’t believe in “excess”

It is hard for me to go out to eat for anything, these days. I’m allergic to wheat, gluten, all dairy, and sugar, along with almonds and peanut butter. Oh how I miss crepes!
Anna says
I don’t always fill in my brows (especially not when I’m in the middle of a study marathon at home) but when I do, I use MAC’s Impeccable Brow Pencil in Taupe.
Sadly, I think it is being discontinued. Fortunately, I was able to snap some up at the Cosmetics Company Outlet for 1/2 the price they cost up here in Canada!

I tried to fill in my eyebrows today! It looked awful :/
Jennifer says
Happy Easter Everyone!
Did you know that the name “Easter” comes from a pagan Goddess named Estra? From which we get the word “estrus.” I believwe she was a fertility goddess. Her sacred animal was the hare (hence the Easter Bunny) and her sacred symbol was the egg (hence Easter Eggs). But, there were no chocolate bunnies in her days–more a modern concept, and not a bad one at that.
Happy Easter Tabs! May GRAVY rain from the sky for you!!!
Jennifer

I have been searching for a foundation that looks good and works for me FOREVER!!! I’m 36 and still haven’t found one. Of course, a number of years ago, one of the MAC foundations worked well, and I meant to buy it, but didn’t. That foundation o longer looks flatters my skin, as it emphasize some fine lines I’ve gladly (ha!) acquired in the interim. I then found a MAC foundation, actually it was recommended by one of their makeup artists, and it looked fabulous UNTIL it started sliding down my face a few hours later, transferred to anything I put my face against and left me looking quite shiny, which I normally don’t. ARGH. How does one ever find “their” foundation??!!! So frustrated!
Vanessa C. says
I go out to brunch about once a week once spring hits 🙂

When I was getting lean for bodybuilding, going out to breakfast was my once-weekly treat. I wasn’t used to the carbs so I would wake up, gobble down a ridic breakfast, go home, and promptly pass out in a carb overload. THAT was living right there. 😀
Essy says

I definitely apply makeup after breakfast, unless I’m going out. Last time I went for breakfast was about a month ago to IHOP.
Katrina says
Just had Easter brunch today, it was fabulous!
Jemica says
What up T-Money and K-Dawg?! Happy Easter! Just wrapping presents for my daughter’s 14th birthday. She desperately wanted some of those China Glaze Hunger Games Nail Polishes.
During the week, I put my makeup on before breakfast but on weekends it’s breakfast first. Probably since I try to sleep in whenever I can…and then wake up hungry.
Kayla says
Went out to breakfast last weekend with my sister, it was wonderful!
Laura H says

Happy Easter Karen!!
When was the last time you went out to breakfast/brunch? What are you up to this weekend?
– The last time I went out to breakfast/brunch was back sometime in February. For lent I decided to do a partial juice fast for about 3 weeks, and then went vegan only eating plant based foods and tons o’ salad. I managed to lose 25 lbs in the 40-47 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. My fiance & I went to Lakewood Church (Houston, Texas) and it was CRAY CRAY!! Never in my years attending have I ever sat in the “nosebleed” section until today.
Do you apply your makeup before or after breakfast?
I like to do it before breakfast cause lipstick with food crumbs is not cute, unless you want a snack for later, then you can lick your lips! LOL
Are your brows filled in right now?
Oh no honey, I take these little caterpillars on my forehead to get waxed at the nail salon. Those Asian ladies know how to shape them for me.
P.S. I wish Sephora card butterflies were real. Then maybe I would get out more so I can catch them! =)
