My heavens, it’s such a nice day out here. I woke up feeling a little run down today, like I didn’t sleep well for some reason, but then El Hub opened the drapes and a wave of warm sunshine flooded over me. Suddenly I felt a whole lot better. 🙂
Rise and shine, morning glory! Welcome to the weekend.
Not much on my plate today, other than catching up on some emails and doing a little product testing. I would like to go get Mexican food for lunch and maybe go for a hike to soak up some of this sunshine. That sounds like a nice way to spend a Cinco de Mayo.
I think I’m gonna go make myself a second cup of Kauai coffee now. Why don’t you enter today’s Sephora eGift card giveaway while I’m gone?
Be right back.
What folks are saying…
“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. 🙂 I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.”

I’m pretty happy with my hair right now. It’s in really good condition, but I could use a trim (split ends are getting a bit out of control). Also, I would like to color it a bit…it’s my natural color right now and I’m getting a bit bored. 🙂
Sunny @ Mostly Sunny says
The weather has been SO bad in this I can’t believe it! I haven’t been to Mexico, but for the warmer weather I’d totally go now!

It’s gorgeous today! Lovin it. I just switched up my skin care regime, now I use Boscia black cleanser (love it) on my clarisonic, and then the sephora brand face moisturizer and eye cream (love that too). When I’ve got a breakout, I use Kate Sommerville banish acne cream, and when I’m in the sun I use skinseuticals sun screen.

Thanks as always for the giveaway Karen! I’m currently rocking a french with black tips (Essie Vanity Fairest + OPI Baby It’s Coal Outside with a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust on top of it all) but I’m not that good at french mani’s so I may change it to neon green. 🙂 Have a great weekend!

lesley says
I’m currently wearing Deborah Lippmann’s Ray of Light nail polish… it looks amazing! But definitely a PITA consistency on this colour…
Good luck to everyone!
Denise says
The weather is absolutely beautiful today. One of those days when it’s not too hot, not too cold and no humidity at all, so my hair won’t frizz up. Just perfect!
Kristen says
Currently wearing Essie Dramatic Drachmas on my nails, but I’m thinking of changing them. It’s finals week and at least my nails can look good!

Cinco de Mayo is my brother’s birthday. Today he turns 29. I love him, I wish I saw him more.
Kimi says
Packing to go home for summer, and picking and choosing what makeup to take with me is kind of difficult. It probably doesn’t help that I’m browsing for new products right now!
Tuhina says
Recipe for ghetto-ritas: Combine in a pitcher: 1 12 oz can frozen limeade, using the 12oz can (of the frozen limeade) to measure, add 1 can of sprite, 1 can of tequila (or less depending on how strong you want it) and 1 bottle of corona! Stir and enjoy!
Caitlin says
My friend once told me a funny story about a trip to Mexico: She was in Tijuana with her family when a man approached them, selling tickets to see a zebra show. They thought it would be humorous to see a zebra in Mexico, so they purchased the tickets and headed to the venue. When they got there, it was a run down bar with a small theater in the back. Upon entering the room, they discovered that the ‘zebra show’ was actually one zebra in a back room – AND the ‘zebra’ was actually just a donkey painted with black and white stripes! The whole thing was too silly that they didn’t even bother asking for their money back!
philamazan says
i love collecting and wearing pretty undies 🙂
Tiera says
I have mixed views on gel nail polish. I got mine done in February, and they totally lasted a lot longer than regular nail polish — but overall I’m not entirely sold. The color selection is pretty small, plus I can’t take it off at home, which means I have to go back to the nail salon to remove it or get it redone. More money out of my pocket, lol!
Kristine Ayala says
I really want to celebrate with a margarita!
Melissa says
We’re only an hour from the Mexican border and we used to go there a lot when I was a kid. We’d stay at a beach.
Catherine Hannon says
I’ve only been to Tiajuana and want to go to Cabo or Cancun so very bad!
Katrin says

Just woke up, with a day of writing ahead of me! Can’t wait to get this semester over with!!!
Cass says
I am having a not so great weekend so far. My husband and I got into a huge fight last night and I am having problems getting over it. Marriage sure can be a lot of work. 🙁
Heidi says
Tabs REALLY knows how to rock a sombrero!
mkdallas says
Tabs in his sombrero is perfection!!!
Lana says
I found out today that I broke a rib last night. Great way to start off Cinco de Mayo, right? So. Much. Pain!
Savannah says
Just spent a good couple of hours lounging by the pool!
Chris25 says
My anthro final is speedily approaching…

Queso all day.

Tiffanie says
I bought a shellac kit last night and just put on some bright pink polish. I hope it really does stay for two weeks!
Annie says
Just finished finals and now it’s time to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!
Beth says
My birthday was yesterday as was the last final project of my undergraduate career so plenty of celebrating for me. I love mexico and have been there twice, both via cruise ships but over different parts – first was mexican riviera and the second was the caribbean. would love to go again some time!
Emily says
I love audio books. I can borrow them from the library straight from the internet to my ipod.
Jaymie says
Currently I am not happy with my hair particularly my cut. Can seem to find a good cut for my medium length hair. But, I am totally loving the Mortal Instrument series. They are such good reading!! I love it when I find a good book or series. Another series I’m also enjoying is Divergent ( same genre as the Hunger Games) .
Y. says
never been to mexico
i like my hair, but i think i am in desperate need of a hair cut!
Yukari says
Right now I have Essence Wake Up on my nails and Essie’s Cute As a Button on my toes. I haven’t been that impressed with Essie yet but the Essence ones are opaque in two coats (you could get away with one) and super shiny! AND under $2! I think I need to pick up a couple more bottles 😉
Sophie says
Happy Cinco de Mayo! It’s not Mexican Independence Day, in case you wanted to know. It’s a celebration of all things Mexican, like Tabs in that picture. Although he doesn’t look thrilled in his sombrero!
Tali Cohen says
What are your favorite makeup wipes for taking off long wear foundation???
Quinctia says
I’m so…confused about whether I like my hair! I have delayed my traditional spring/summer hair chop-off, because the weather’s been screwy and I kind of like the look of longer hair better. That said, the weight of this length has been occasionally driving me nuts and my hair is getting curlier the longer it gets. I still think it looks great, but if it gets any less manageable, I might go get a cut, haha.
Cinco de Mayo = Guacamole Day for me. Yay!
Janelle says
I am dying to buy the Bliss Steep Clean Mask!
Juliet says
Mmm…Kauai coffee…I think I will need to dust off my toddy and start making iced coffees from now until October lol!
April says
Thanks to your review, I have become addicted to OCC lip tars! I’ve accumulated 9 since your post! I’d love to see more of these!
Shawna says
Hi Karen,
I stumbled on your site a few weeks ago and fell in love with blog. You won me with your trip to Kauai. Now I’m dying to plan a trip there! I think your blog is beauty friendly and straight to the point. I’m now a new fan. I’m such a girly girl, so thanks for the informative reviews on beauty and life. Take care,
Shawna.
Laura says
I’m wearing Butter London The Black Knight on my nails right now. It’s a beautiful black polish with lots of blue and pink glitter!! I love it! 🙂
Lucas says
Audio books suck, I prefer reading books myself so I can make up the voices in my head. With audio-books, there is less room for imagination and to me that is an important factor when it comes to reading a book. Even though it is somewhat predetermined through what the author writes, there is always room for ones personal fantasy/imaginary touch. Thanks for the giveaway!
Joyce says
I’ve been enjoying my starbucks iced coffee and making a wishlist of urban decay’s new eyeshadows. I swatched them in store the other day and love them all! They are amazing!!
kelliegonzo says
i’m watching clueless
Rachel says
Why is it that no matter how hard I try, when I blowdry my hair it never looks nearly as nice or as glossy as it does when my hairdresser does it at the salon? Ultimate pet-peeve!
Stephanie Fraval says
I love Tabs. So much.
tzeni says
hi,
it will make my day if i win.
thanks
kprice says
I have terrible Lloyd bangs right now. They are driving me nuts today! Thanks for a chance at a giveaway and have a good weekend.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Bring on the margaritas! Or is it margueritas?
Christine says
Because of your blog, I am wearing L’Oreal’s Tangerine Crush 🙂
Debbie says
Love Cancun!
Carolyn N. says
I’ve never been to Mexico, but I was in McAllen, TX once which was super close to the border!
Rae // theNotice says
Eep! Nope, no Mexico trips for this girl – I’m not one for loud noises, lots of sun, OR high temperatures 😛
Kayla says
All of your questions pertain to my life so well right now! Haha, I’ve been really working on keeping my hair healthy, strengthening my nails (right now I’m wearing Essie Lapiz of Luxury and Nicole by OPI Nicole’s Nickel on my ring fingers), and figuring out the perfect skincare regime. And I just bought a new book! It’s called Miss Peregerine’s Home for Peculiar Children and I can’t wait to get started.
Janet says
Have not been to Mexico, but I have heard great things. I would love to see Hawaii someday also! Thanks from me & my kitty 🙂
Let says
I never tried listening to any audiobooks, but I’ll probably hate them. I prefer physical books. Yes, e-books also don’t count.
Zoey says
I’m going to paint my nails today, but I’m not sure what color yet.
Mary says
I found out something really awesome about my favorite nail polish style. I have a lovely topcoat from Essie called “matte about you” which is incredible and turns any nailpolish into a very convincing matte. However, matte about you is $10/bottle, which if you paint your nails a lot can be a little pricey. At Rite Aid the other day, I saw that NYC had a matte top coat as well. For $2, I figured it was worth trying. I alternated NYC and Essie on my nails to see if I could differentiate…. nope! Saved myself $8 when I need a new bottle now!
Ruchita says
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Melissa says
Hi Karen! I adore your website. I love reading your hepful reviews and about the adventures you and Tabs go on. I’ve been to Mexico once in high school on a mission but I’d love to go back for a vacation. I hope you have a fun Cinco de Mayo!

Nadine G says
Vacation sounds so good – Amalfi coast is amazing! A must on anyone’s To-Go list.
Jennifer says
I am wearing avon’s apricot mystery on my nails!
Kristi says
I like the feel of a book in my hand so I’m not a big fan of audio books. Also the reason I haven’t tried a Kindle or other similar type reader. my avid book reading friends keep telling me that I will love it, but I’m not convinced yet. : )
gracie burnett says
Hi karen! I hope you have had a wonderful week in kauai!!! I’m visiting kauai and oahu next month and reading your blog makes me more excited to visit! So excited to use tartes waterproof makeup for some fun in the sun! I hope tabs wasn’t too lonely while yall were gone! Have an awesome weekend and God bless you!
aclearcutsign says
Ever since I added sulfur (sulfur soap, sulfur mask) into my skincare regimen, my acne has greatly diminished. I don’t have to rely as much on benzoyl peroxide anymore.
Advah says

Manu says
I’ve never been to Mexico….maybe I will go right after my exams, which are happening ALL THIS WEEK!
I think a gift card would make me very happy 🙂
Nicole says
Happy cinco de mayo!
Liz says
Growing up, my family went to Mexico most years on vacation. Usually we went to the beach somewhere (acapulco, Mazatlan, Cozumel, etc) but some years it was a bot more cultural (Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Mexico City, etc).
More recently, my baby proposed to me while snorkleling at Xel-Ha after a morning spent poking around Tulum. Talk about a great day! No regrets on the answer I gave him, either. 🙂
Debbie Cassis says
I actually live in Mexico, and virtually no one celebrates Cinco de Mayo haha…
Suzi says
Picked up Trax eyeshadow for my b2m! Love that recycle program!!
Tran says
I have never been to Mexico, but I’ve been meaning to go there on a cruise with my family!
Amanda G says
Am I currently happy with my hair? Hot-diggity, yes I am!
I just got it cut into this gently layered bob after deciding that breaking up with my boyfriend meant that I needed a breakup haircut. It’s the best f’ing haircut I’ve ever had!
Sara Elisabeth says
Viva Mexico!
Carol says
I’m wearing L.A. Girl Disco Brites nail polish in Chic on my nails right now. It’s supposed to glow under a black light but I haven’t tested it to find out if that’s really true 😛
auroragyps says
I just picked up over 20 graphic novels from the library. A few are the latest issues of series I’ve already been reading, like Walking Dead (I’m planning on rereading the series from the beginning, but I’m still waiting for them to come it), Hellboy, BPRD, & Courtney Crumrin. Got some stuff from the writer of Fables, Bill Willingham, Neil Gaimen, & Mike Mignola too, all which I really like. Lastly, I picked up a couple of series I haven’t tried before, Locke & Key (Lovecraft like series which has been highly recommended) and The Good Neighbors, which is done by the same two people that wrote The Spiderwick Chronicles (one of which also did Courtney Crumrin).
I’m already enjoying a bunch of them & I recommend them to anybody else that likes horror, sci fi, and fantasy reading.
Judy says
Already finished my second cup of coffee and the day is barely half over… *sigh*

Lei says
2 weeks of Spring semester left and I’ve been so stressed/tired I don’t bother with putting on any makeup on. I can’t wait to summer break!

I’m super excited for the Kentucky Derby! But the last two nights my cat hasn’t slept with me, which is very sad 🙁
Adia says
I always have glitter nails,it’s my all-time favorite. 😀
Thank you.
Rie Maeda says

Sherry says
I’m wearing China Glaze Ruby Pumps 🙂

Christin says
Its my cats birthday today, I hope that will give me some luck ^^)
Juhye says
I’ve been loving Revlon Candy Apple lip butter! Its brilliant. It reminds me so much of Mac VG Cyndi.
Jenny says
I’m reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series, which are the books Game of Thrones is based on. They’re so excellent. I’ve never read a more well-woven story. It really challenges my skills of critical reading and perception because the author throws in clues and foreshadowing at every turn if you’re careful enough to look for them. Of course, they’re still enjoyable just on the surface, but these are stories in which you’ll find something new even on your fourth re-read. I highly recommend them! They’re not all out yet, but hopefully George R R Martin will finish up the next two books in say… 7 years. He takes a long time to write – but it’s so worth it! (Just like this comment, I guess, lol.)
Manal says
It’s 11:15pm here in Cairo, Egypt!
Nika says
I’d been wearing coral gel polish for like two weeks. It was lovely but I had to take it off a few days ago.
Lulu says
Seeing your pictures of hawaii make me so jelly, would love to go sometime in the future haha! In the meantime I’ve been meaning to get my hands on some neon polishes for summer… *eyeing that new ChG collection* 🙂
tabby says
I’m sick, too. Made hubby take me to Olive Garden for tiramisu before the dreaded grocery store visit. ;o)
Kim says
I need a trim. My hair is getting taken over by split ends at the moment.
Betony says
My boyfriend says I should spend money on experiences more than things. But I told him I love the experience of shopping for new makeup!
Anitacska says
My husband’s taken the children to his parents for the long weekend, so I have 3 days of freedom. Today I’ve done most of the housework I had to do and tomorrow I’m treating myself with a trip to London. 🙂
Katrina says
Bweee!
Stephanie Y says
I have only been to Mexico for work and it was very ‘industrial’ not beautiful beaches and wonderful resorts! Not anxious to go back.
Alison says
I have been to mexico a couple of times for vacation – Happy Cinco De Mayo!!
Michelle K says
I have been wanting to buy the Naked 2 Palette…this would be perfect!
Paige says
I am spending this afternoon trying to figure out how to use hot rollers. So far, my arms are too short! Maybe this means my hair needs a trim.
Marian says
I’ve been to Mexico several times. I really love the Yucutan. I love Mexico. It’s gorgeous, the weather is perfect and the people are so nice!
On my nails today I’m wearing Essie Cute as a Button.
I’m happy with my hair at the moment. Still have the pixie. It’s so easy!
My skincare is simple. I wash with any gentle foaming cleanser. Sometimes I use an oil free moisturizer. At night, I use Retin-A one night and AHA the next.
I’m currently reading “Mudwoman” by my favorite author, Joyce Carol Oates.
I like audio books if I’m in the car a lot but at home I’d rather read.
Stefanie Gladden says
I wish my hair was a little longer, but I love the color I have right now! 🙂

Halifax says
I have never been to Mexico, have no idea what to do to join the fun celebration lol
Melodyy says
I’ve only ever been to like Tijuana.. just to eat lobster with my family on the Fourth of July. However, my boyfriend’s mexican, so hopefully we’ll go soon 🙂 I am kinda blah with my hair… I want a new hairstyle but can’t really do anything with my hair as it has layers and bangs and such. I’m reading Fifty Shades of Grey. well, I just finished the first book and I love it! I’m not really a big fan of audiobooks because I like to read it myself, but I imagine that I could get into them during long trips or drives to school? Thanks, Karen!
JenJ says
never been to mexico. caught an episode of betheny ever after and they were in cabo. so i guess i took a quick try. ha!!!
Brooke says
Happy Cinco de Mayo! I am, unfortunately, not happy with my hair entirely. It seems that when I get the color right, the cut isn’t or vice versa. Right now, I love my cut (went shorter and with a bang – first time for either since I was in 8th grade!), but can’t figure out the color yet. 🙁 Ideally, I want the color of my orange tabby, Butters! Not sure I can bring him into the salon though. LOL
Tammy says
Currently wearing Zoya Mira with NYX Sunday Afternoon on accent finger.
colleen boudreau says

TEQUILA! And avocados, of course.
Sarah C. says
I don’t like audio books! Sometimes I forget to pay attention and lose the plot!

Jones says
Went to the local farmer’s market yesterday and got some little caramel balls coated in green tea-flavored white chocolate. They’re the best things ever!
lesley says
Yes! I have been to Mexico. I grew up on the Tex-Mex border and we used to go across the border all the time. Guess I got most of my wild college partying days out of the way while I was in high school. Yeesh.

For skincare, I’ve been trying out Dermalogica’s Clear Start line. I feel like it’s been working pretty well, and I love how fresh and awake all the products make my skin feel!

Yes!…i have been loving my hair. I’ve been growing it out from a very short cut so now it’s almost at a mid length…just had my bangs trimmed this week so it looks fresher. Totally love the cute baby bangs my stylist gave me!! 😉
Cara says
KISS artificial nails are the best! very good for drugstore nails.
Paula says
I’ve never been to Mexico, but I lived in southern California for many years (as close as you can get to living in Mexico without actually leaving the country).
Becca @ The Beauty Sample says
My beauty regimen consists of the following:
Morning=do a quick cleanse with Caudalie Cleansing Water squeezed onto a cotton pad, mist Ole Henriksen African Red Tea mist onto my face and gently press into the skin, apply Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum while skin is still damp. Wait 15 minutes, then apply Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Daily Face Shield SPF 40
Night=cleanse with Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser, mist African Red Tea mist onto face, press into skin, apply either Epiduo or Vinoperfect Radiance Serum (I switch off every other night) while skin is still damp.
et voila! My skin has actually been behaving lately (knock on wood), so I’ll probably continue with this routine for a while…or at least until I am tempted to try another serum (which happens often. I am currently eyeing Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Concentrate)
Maca says
Holaaa!
Chanelle says

I wish I were in Mexico. It’s still chilly where I live, but then again I’m in Canada so not really surprised 😉
carol says
I would love to be in Mexico, where I live it was COLD today. Would you call me a makeup junkie if I went to an auction today with a full face of makeup????
Lisa says
My hair is good today since I just had it done, blonde with highlighting! So today is a great hair day. I have been using the Kendi Oil from Sephora. It makes the highlighted hair not so brittle, therefore making the second day after washing hair more manageable! And that’s all we can do sometimes………..manage our hair. Aloha! Thanks for the contest.
Amanda Val says

I love tabs’ pics! Always puts a smile on my face.
Katie says
Feliz Cinco de Mayo a todos! I only wish that I didn’t have to explain to so many people that it’s *not* Mexican Independence Day (that’s in September!) – that’s one of the things I miss about California now that I’m in grad school in the midwest. I’m also really happy with my hair right now – I just discovered “plopping” (basically wrapping up your hair in a ball inside a tshirt while it’s wet and leaving it for a while) and my super curly hair looks really awesome.
Kiran says
I am reading, Colin Forbes, Fury. I have never liked my hair 🙁
Caro says
I’m so looking forward to wearing corals, mint, and oranges this summer!

Hey Karen, just started reading your blog a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! I went to Cabo San Lucas last year and it was paradise. Margaritas always taste better in Mexico.

I’ve just come off of acrylic nails, and my natural nails are pretty bad (to say the least). I have been using Butter London’s Horse Power nail strengthener everyday, trying to see if I can repair all this damage! Someday I will have long nails again!

Missy M says
Supermoon!
Nora says
One day!
mrsshukra says
Never been to Mexico!
Lori says
I’m using the boscia black line for my skincare regimen and if you have oily skin, it’s the BEST out there. The way it reduced my pore size is mind boggling.
Elizabeth says
Unfortunately, no, I have never been to Mexico. And I’m not that satisfied with my hair, either – it’s long and thick but fine, and the layers have been growing out too much, so it looks lank. Time to head over to the salon…
Justine says
Yup, I really like my hair!
Grace says
Spending my cinco de mayo sick! Boo!
Stephanie says
No plans to go to Mexico.
Rose says
My husband is working tonight, but if he were home I’d ask him to make some margaritas (he’s a kitchen genius!). He zests the lime, soaks the zest, and mixes it all up. We usually drink the whole pitcher in a couple hours! Happy Cinco de Mayo 🙂
T.Davis says
Happy Cinco De Mayo to everyone!!
Ris says
Just had an amazing homemade margarita! If only my hair were as fabulous…
MelodyJ says
I haven’t been to Mexico but hopefully someday.

Im looking for a new foundation for wedding makeup, would live the gift card 🙂

I haven’t liked my hair in months. it’s been really dry and limpier(?) than usual. I’ve tried more moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, but I haven’t found anything where I like the results. I cut my hair way short last summer and I’m still waiting for it to grow back, miss the length

I am currently happy with my hair, but I wish it was longer!

Kelsey says
Have you ever been to Mexico?
No, and given how dangerous it is now for Americans to travel there, I don’t think that I ever will!
Are you currently happy with your hair?
I am, actually. I just recently got about a foot cut off (it was down to my waist) and it is so much healthier and easier to take care of now. Plus, I started sing the Yes To Cucumbers shampoo and conditioner, both of which my hair LOVES.
What are you wearing on your nails?
Fingernails, nothing. Toenails, Orly Peacock.
Describe your skincare regimen.
Wash with Acne.org cleanser in the morning, spot treat zits with Neutrogena On The Spot gel, and wash with Proactiv cleanser at night.
Are you reading anything good?
I just finished the 3rd book in the WICKED series, and it was very good! Moving on to the 4th book later today.
How do you feel about audio books?
They’re OK, like for long car rides, but I prefer to read real books myself.
Lexi says
big love to you and your employer 🙂
Kathryn says
We’ve had some good audio books for rad trips to Florida, but also some bad ones that we just had to turn off
Alycia says
Did your not sleeping well have anything to do with the Super Moon? I have this high window in my bedroom without a curtain and for the last two nights , the moon has shone right in my eyes like a bright flashlight!!
Sue C. says
Hope you had a great Cinco De Mayo! I’m so distracted by Tabs and his hat. Now I’m wondering if the cats in Mexico have an accent when they meow. Can a cat be bi-lingual? My mom has a can named Minou (the French word for cat) and she walks around like she’s a French princess and her meow is a little different than the other cats >^..^
Shana says
I love Cabo San Lucas in Mexico!!!

I have been reading your beauty blog for as long as I realized beauty blogs even existed — Thanks for the helpful reviews! – Btw, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is beautiful they have gorgeous resorts & if you ever make it out to Poza Rica, Vera Cruz you need to check out El Tajin and Los Voladores (Papantla) – but you’re going to need to take something for your hair for the humidity because it is killer!
Shannon S says
I love Hawaii! I’m so glad you got to go back (and of course that you shared pics with us!). I have been to two or three of the islands, but not the one you went to so it was nice seeing that island!
Kat says

I am in heaven — the JC Penney store on my commute just opened a Sephora mini-store and it is bee-yoo-tee-full!!! So I would love to have some play money…
I just took my Miata out of storage after a very long Vermont winter (haven’t driven it since before Hurricane Irene destroyed our roads in August 2011) so now I feel like summer is on its way.
Thanks for the opps, Karen! Hi to Tabs from Sophie.
