Okay, this is a totally random way to start the day, but I’m excited! I haven’t been to Japantown in ages, and I’m supposed to be going tonight.
Yes, it’s barely 8:30 in the morning right now, and I’m already thinking about dinner…
And magazines!
El Hub and I are meeting my bro and his girlfriend for Korean barbecue (yup, Korean barbecue in San Francisco’s Japantown), and if we can get there early enough, I hope to visit Kinokuniya Bookstore, which is this huge bookstore filled with Japanese books — everything from business books to art, anime and manga, children’s literature, and an awesome magazine section with literally hundreds of titles.
I can’t read many of them, ya know, except for the few that are in English, but I love looking at the pictures. The fashion, photography and art mags are my faves.
How are you doing this morning? I hope your day got off to a good start.
Oh! — I’ve got a movie rental recommendation for you. It’s called The Way, starring Martin Sheen. It’s about a father who heads overseas to recover the body of his estranged son who died while traveling the “El camino de Santiago,” and decides to take the pilgrimage himself.
Just a wonderful film (found it on Netflix) that warmed my heart and also made me really want to take a trip to Europe.
Have a great day today, whatever you’re up to. Before you jet, don’t forget to enter both of this weekend’s giveaways (here’s the other one, for some Cos Bar products from Target). Might as well. I mean, since you’re already here. 🙂
What folks are saying…
“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!”
-Jane“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.”
-Angel“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)“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!”

-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.”

I know enough French to be a bit dangerous! LOL I don’t flip through magazines in other languages but I do look at blogs in other languages. Sometimes I’ll translate & sometimes I’m just looking for product pics/swatches! I wish it was easier to get ahold of products that are so easily available at French pharmacies! Grass is always greener on the other side, huh?!!

Agata says
Well, I speak Polish of course, I used to speak Spanish and a little bit of French but since not used I forgot most of it. I love reading Polish magazines. I have access to some online but it’s not the same as flipping through the pages of the actual magazine.

Hohete says
I have OPI Go on Green on my toes, but nothing on my fingers.
Katie says
I speak two languages more or less fluently – English (first language) and Spanish (home background – although we didn’t speak a ton of Spanish at home, and 5 years of classes). I can also speak/read Mandarin Chinese at an intermediate level (2 years classes, 3 months living in Beijing). But since I stopped taking classes, I pretty much can’t write in Chinese at all anymore… without practice all the characters fled my brain. :/ I can read Japanese hiragana, and I took one quarter of Cantonese, but all I can remember how to say is “bathroom,” “telephone,” and “I don’t speak Cantonese,” which I guess are sort of useful, LOL. I love learning new languages; if I had time, I would definitely go back to language classes.
Sandy says
Ah…I really need to paint my toes again! I have a lovely Butter London polish in All Hail the Queen that I just love, sparkly and pretty!
Yogirl says
The pancake building is gorgeus!
I speak German and English and my favourite magazine is Instyle UK and Monocle. I just came home and got a new haircut and color this afternoon, and tonight is football (European Championships). If you come to Europe give us a note, maybe you can do some couch surfing
🙂
Selina says
Wearing a smokey brown eye today. Have spent the better part of the afternoon drooling over bronze eyeshadows- my favorite! Nars Galapagos looks amazing…

SSB says
Wearing my hair super, super flat and straight while my first-ever keratin treatment sets. Can’t wait to see it aftfer 48 hours!
Joy says
I speak 2 or so languages. Two fluently or close to and then a few others more or less conversationally. I read more languages than I speak though and there are a couple languages that I can follow a story if it’s told slowly enough, but not really respond. This randomly reminds me, I’ve actually only seen Forrest Gump and read Harry Potter in French, never English. I really need to fix that.
laura says
i am really craving some waffles.
Megan says
my hair’s in a ponytail because i was doing yard work.
Krista says
Yay! Another chance to win $50 card for Sephora. I’ve never flipped through different language magazines- I’m only able to speak english and read english and I actually like reading the articles in magazines so it isn’t worth my time to flip through. I wish I had another language though so I could!
onegreatsmile says
WHY OH WHY did they make it SO hard to get the Shu lash curler in this country?!?!?!?!?

Mandy says
I speak fluently: English, French, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu & Italian. I can understand enough Spanish and Farsi to get by. One day I hope to learn Japanese & Mandarin. I have always loved learning languages just for the fun of it and because I can!

Amber says
Ooh, thanks Karen! I am fluent in English obviously, but I also know American Sign Language, and I just began learning French in January! It’s been so fun. I also know a little Russian and Spanish, but I’d love to learn more.
Stephanie says
I’m so excited that it’s almost Father’s Day!

I love looking through the Japanese magazines at Shirokiya! 🙂 I can speak English and a bit of Japanese.
Sunita Magar says
I am a college student, and I am currently living off-campus. Just this morning, I made the yummiest pancakes ever! I mean I am not one who is very adventurous with her cooking, because I only learnt how to cook since I came to the United States (about 10 months ago). My boyfee liked it too! 😀 Such things totally make my day.
Of course, it would make my day too if I won the Sephora gift card too. 😀
Thank you for having such contests.
Betony says
I love to “read” French, Spanish and Italian Vogue. It’s so much fun to see fashion trends in other countries!
Liz M. says
OMG! Sephora is just so much fun. I blew out both ankles the beginning of February and was bedridden with 2 casts for 2 1/2 months. I’m still recovering and limited in that I can’t walk much or drive much so I’m still doing almost all my shopping online. It’s the only thing that kept my sanity after being a prisoner in bed was getting packages of makeup that I ordered! I’d love to get that new Hourglass primer since I’m addicted to their tinted moisturizer. And if I wish for some products they carried here in the US, I wish we had Jill Stuart makeup! It’s so hard to get and even though they have in NY, you still can’t sample anything and they’re always sold out of most stuff and it still costs a fortune to ship. Thanks for this offer!
Ris says
I took Japanese for two years, but trying to read the magazines – or any media in Japanese – is still way to hard for me!
Trendy Housewife says
Father’s Day is tomorrow!!
Bethany says
I’ve been painting my house all day….visiting this website is my “coffee break” since I don’t actually drink coffee.

Nora says
Just two!
MJ says
Ahhhhh so jealous. Absolutely love Nor Cal and missing SF. 😛 I used to live in Castro Valley and I was able to hop on the BART and go into SF whenever. 😛
If you have the time, you should check out this little restaurant in Japantown that is on the bridge between the two buildings that houses the bookstore (assuming that I’m thinking of the same place). They do some interesting fusion asian food (Japanese style curry pizza anyone? XD). There’s also a bunch of untranslated manga on the walls to flip through or read. XD
bin du says
just read 4 books in 5 days…insanity! But at least i’m getting more use out of my kindle 🙂

Iris says
My mother sometimes brings home magazines in Chinese and I flip through them to look at fashions and makeup despite not being able to read them. I can speak Cantonese enough to carry on a conversation but can’t read it.
I’m not wearing anything on my nails, as in my line of work, polish would chip easily. I’m wearing my hair down today and without any styling products.
Thank you so much for the giveaway. Cheers!
P.S. the giant pancake photo is cool
Carol says
It’s pretty hot here today so I have my hair up in a messy bun.
Jenn says
I can speak conversational Mandarin and Cantonese. Throw in 2 years of high school French in there too! 🙂
Quinctia says
I like studying languages, but the only one I feel I mastered (besides English, of course) was when I took Latin in high school. Unfortunately, not that many people speak Latin, haha! Took a few semesters of Spanish in college, and can get through ordering at a restaurant or muddling my way through reading a newspaper. Had ONE semester of Japanese and pretty much forgot how to say anything but “the cat is cute.”
Susan G says
It’s mortifying to admit, but I read British gossip rags online. Does that count? The Brits really like to dish the dirt. Was wondering if you have tried a gel manicure and if they’re really all that. Thanks for your generous giveaways.
Lisa @ Fit in the Midwest says
I speak Spanish best, love the German language and speak at an elementary level, speak a bit of Italian and can read a little French. I love languages and only wish I had an opportunity to use them more often!
Christina says
Just ordered 40$ worth of Bath and Body Works…
Sunny @ Mostly Sunny says
I do flip through magazines in languages I don’t speak, but I still prefer something that I can read! I speak Mandarin Chinese, English, and French fluently, so that’s 3. A bit of Dutch too but I’m too shy/lazy to really use it!
Amanda Sakovitz says
I’m wearing Essie’s topless and barefoot on my nails!

Alison says
I studied Spanish, Portuguese, and a little bit of Hebrew in college. My Spanish and Portuguese used to be pretty good, but I don’t get much of a chance to practice these days, sadly.

Harshleen says
I am def going to check out that movie!! Have a great time tonite karen!

I flip through Japanese magazines every once in awhile, but they tend to be a bit girlier/cuter than my own style. I took a few years of Japanese in high school & college, but it’s such a hard language to learn!

Mmmm… Korean BBQ!!! So jelly!!
Stephanie Fraval says
I love Tabs.

I haven’t had a banana split in years, but have been thinking about one all day! The ice cream stand is calling my name.

Brit says

I speak German and Spanish fluently, and have basic facility with French and Italian. My Russian diction is good (for stage purposes), but I do not have any reading or conversational facility.
Anyhoo, thanks for another great giveaway opportunity, Karen!

Jennifer says
So sunburned, ow ow ow.
indoorkitty says
OMG Karen, I speak two languages and one kinda crappily. Although my one language is suffering from lack of use, I called up my Mom the other day to speak in our mother tongue and I mixed up the words for ring and grape, and basically told her I got the right stones on my grape. She was confused!!!
Dude, I watched the late night showing of Prometheus last night. I’m like confused (have so many questions! plot holes or inconsistencies or just Ridley’s mysteries to decypher) and slightly jumpy today. It’s not groundbreaking like Alien but it makes you wonder about origins. That’s all I can say without wrecking it!!! The husband, who abhors horror/scary movies, was entertained but we debated a lot about WHAT was going on on the scary dark walk home. My hood has never looked more menacing!!!
Pam says
Limes Skin Food – I wish I didn’t have to go to England to get it for my husband!
Justine says
It would be great if Max Factor Fantasy Fire nail polish were available in the US. I also think Japan and other East Asian countries have cheaper high-quality tubing and fiber mascaras.
bruna louise says

Libby says
I’m currently wearing American Apparel nail polish in summer peach, an opaque pastel peach. And I love this color!

TrippyPixie says
I speak English and German. When I visited Germany and Austria last summer, I bought some magazines. It was hard to follow some of the slang or technical terms, but it was also amazing how many English words they borrowed and used. Sometimes, it felt like I was reading more English than German!
Ashley Miller says
I love ELLE!
Charlene says
Speaking of magazines I hate when I’m in the bathroom and how it’s always some actor with a piercing gaze looking back at me. I feel as if they can see me.

Bonnie says
I’ve got my hair up in a bun because it’s long (TOO long; I need a cut) and unwieldy. Plus, it was quite humid.
Joy P. says
I rarely wear polish on my fingernails because it seems/feels like my nails can’t “breathe.
Grace Tong says
I can’t read or understand Japanese but I love their fashion magazines all the same! I find that they tend to have a lot more pictures than Western ones, and almost always have some really useful makeup tutorials 🙂
Ida says
Hi! 🙂 Wonderful giveaway 🙂 I can speak 5 languages. 🙂 In my country it’s lots of brands I can’t get, for example: Wet n wild, Ulta, Sephora, Too faced, NYX and a lots of other brands. Too bad.

Nicolle S says
Today I’m wearing my hair natural with a little but of Bumble & Bumble styling cream! I’m actually enjoying the fact that I didn’t have time spend time styling it.
Liz G. says
Hi Karen. I love Eauropean fashion and art magazines and I’m crazy about Asian art and culture. I really want to go to Asia someday, especially Hong Kong and Malaysia. I try to find beauty blogs from other countries to read also. I think it is great how similar we all are when it comes to our love of beauty products. If the world was run by female beauty junkies the UN would be at a Sephora store and there would be world peace!
Liz says
Before I retired from the Navy reserves, I used to go to Korea twice a year. I didn’t have a lot of free time while I was there, but I always made it to the Namdaemun Market to get fresh fruit and giant handmade soaps. If there was time I would walk from there to the stores nearby, where I would get Korean cosmetics and skin care. I bought everything from drugstore brands to high end – anything that caught my fancy. I really miss being able to do that.
Dawn says
I used to be fairly fluent in French after 6 years of study in junior high and high school. Now it is quite rusty. Yep, I think I need to immerse myself in it with a trip to Paris!
I never had Korean food before…they opened a place around my area, so I might have to give it a try sometime.
Lisa says
I study linguistics, so I love reading stuff in other languages. My Japanese is really rusty, but going to a Japanese bookstore sounds really fun!
Janet says
I change my nail polish at least twice a week. Right now I have on Sephora by OPI Natural Environ-mint with Butter London Blagger on the ring fingers. Today I think I’m going to do Butter London Trout Pout or Macbeth with NARS Amchoor on the ring fingers. So summery! 😀
Maria says
I’m learning Spanish this summer 🙂

Is this a valid excuse to buy more mascaras?

Sue C. says
Not really foreign to me but I like to look through British Vogue and British InStyle to see the ads for different beauty products.
lesleyk says
I grew up on the Tex-Mex border and understand some Spanish, and I can fake the accent pretty okay, but I don’t think quickly enough to be able to speak it. I occasionally flip trough some Spanish magazines.

Helen says
I would love to learn spanish!
Barbara says
I speak Polish and English. Took Spanish in high school and was great at written tests but not at speaking it. My teacher said I was the only student she ever had who spoke Spanish with a Polish accent!
Darlene says
I love neon on my nails. Such beautiful weather we are having! Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers everywhere:)
Zhar says
Today I’m wearing Sally Hansen’s Magnetics in Red-y Response which btw looks dupe-y enough to be Nails Inc’s Kensington Palace. I speak French and love French Vogue. Well really any of the Vogue editions are excellent.
Maggie says
All the languages I know are dead 😛 Ancient Greek, Latin, and a bit of Coptic! Totally useful in the real world…
Johanna says

When I was living in Japan, I used to love browsing through the Japanese fashion/decor
magazine even thought I could hardly read the language!
Jennifer says
Wearing Layla’s Mercury Twilight on my nails – awesome holo, but off formula!
Katie says
Yeah, I wish that we had the more sophisticated, Asian sunscreens here in the US! It’s difficult to recognize which online sellers/websites are reputable, you know?
Denise says
I went through a phase when I didn’t read magazines at all for the longest time. Then one day I just picked up a Marie Clare in the store and started flipping through it and got hooked again. I don’t really have favorites. It changes with my mood. Everything from fashion to book review mags.
Kasiah says
I’m craving Mongolian BBQ! So good!
Brooke @ BlushingNoir says

Here in Uruguay, there’s just so many things I miss, makeup-wise! Thank heavens for the two magical words: “international shipping”! 😀

Caitlin says
PANCAAAAAAAAAAAKES!!!!!!! That is all.
Karen says
I love flipping through Japanese magazines for beauty and fashion tips! My favorites are Non-No and CanCam.
Crystal says
I’ve sat down with the Mango languages program from my local library to learn French. Should’ve taken it in high school and college. I think I’d be flipping through French literature by the Seine eating something exceptional instead of living in boring ol’ Middle America.

my favorite magazine is In Style for Fashion and Bon Appetit for food!
Sarah r says
I’m currently in grad school for pt
Elaine Lombardo says
Spending my day sick after a week layed up with the mumps (!!) but crafting and making some beautiful cards, journals and jewelry. I would die if I couldnt create so thats what keeps me going.

I did a pedi last night that I really like. It’s Milani one coat glitter in gold glitz with a design in black and teal. It feels very summery, without being neon or overly bright. I love it!

Nylon is definitely my favorite magazine!

Huge fan of Sephora. Just bought the Color of the Year lip gloss set, which I’m stoked about because the color is Tangerine. Really happy oranges are hot right now because they work so well with my complexion. I also rock Sepora by OPI’s orange nail polish on toes often 🙂

Hi Karen! (sorry if this is a double post, my phone voided out the first I think)
I would love to learn Ukrainian. My great grandfather was a bishop in the Ukrainian orthodox church, and from what I’ve been able to learn, a pretty great man. From what I’ve been told, he was a big deal! Unfortunately, most of the information on him is all in Ukrainian. Hopefully one day I will be able to know all the details. Thanks!

Nails are naked today as I’m in between polishes. Just took off Orly Sweet Peacock yesterday–gorgeous bright blue foil!

Those pancakes in the pic look delicious!!

Megan says
I’m quite a big instyle fan! And flare and loulou #canadianshoutout
Krystal S. says
I really am not happy with only having 2 days off, even though that’s realistic and what people normally have to deal with. I’d rather work from home again where I am always off and always working at the same time. Blah.
Arianne says
My favourite magazine isn’t a beauty one – Real Simple. I’m a frustrated DIYer.
Amanda (Fashion Footing) says
I have about 3 months worth of magazines piled up that I still need to read :-/

meghan says
Thanks for the giveaway Karen! I’m current rocking Essence Glamorous Life on my nails, it’s a really lovely hot pink glass fleck polish, I love it!

Audrey says
My family and I are taking our first ever trip to Europe next month!

IsabelG says
I love Korean BBQ!!!! Must…go…soon…
Marilyn says
I’m Puerto Rican and I speak Spanish…more as a second language. But whenever I get my hands on a friend’s People Magazine Espanol….Im done. I’m all in! It’s like I need to read every word in it! I love the gossip…which is so unlike me…then again, I’m Puerto Rican and for us it seems like loving gossip is a must!!! LOL!!! Thanks for the great giveaway!!!
Katie says
I love the dual-ended concealer stick from Sephora. I think I buy one every time I go to the mall so I don’t run out!

KaylaK says
Enjoyed a lazy Sunday today! Of course I’m not really feeling all that great..I do speak some French, I would like to pick it up again!
Julie Greenwood says
I speak French and Spanish. I speak French because I grew up in a French speaking community in central Maine and we started studying the language in 4th grade. I speak Spanish because I lived in southern Spain for a few years. Now I live in a really conservative city and I really miss the bolder make-up southern Spain.
Christy says
Growing out my eyebrows… Seriously it’s the longest process ever! I’ll be more careful with the tweezers from now on! LOL!
Shelby Morgan says
Happy Sunday to you! I’m laying on the couch with my hair in a towel! Watching golf and fighting the urge to throw the remote at the golf on the tv!

maggie mae says
This weekend I’ve been having a big clear out in my house so my nails are naked and my hair is in a bun.
Elena says
I already read and speak Spanish, (even though I prefer not to because I speak painfully slow!), and am teaching myself a bit of French this summer before I start graduate school in the fall!
Heather says
Speaking of international brands, I wish Sephora still carried Shu Uemura – I’d love to test out the lash curler in person!
Elise says
Bright v-neck tees are my new favorite summer staple. 🙂
ricki says
I love Vogue Italia, especially their covers. The mag is so different from American Vogue. It’s so much more edgy. Since I’m fairly decent at reading Spanish I can usually figure out the gist of the articles tho they’re in Italian.
Weina says
i love reading magazines in different langueages, especially the japanese ones like Cancam, Vivi, Nonno etc etc, i get all my latest updates on asian beauty products and fashion from there :3
Shannon says
It was my birthday on Friday, yay Geminis, and I just got gifted some Minx nail decals. I have been getting them done professionally, so excited I can do them at home now! I hope Sephora starts carrying their designs!

I flip thru chinese mags when i’m at the salons. they’re full of gossip even though i don’t understand a word, you can tell from the pics.
Lynn says

Ashleigh says
I love listening to Korean and Japanese pop music despite the fact that I don’t speak either of those languages. I barely speak English on a good day lol
Jean says
I love Korean BBQ (have you tried Brother’s on Geary in SF?) and Kinokuniya in Japantown (crepe place next to it is a must). I wish I could live in SF! 🙂
Laura says
I wish that Bourjois cosmetics were sold in the US! ASOS delivers to the US but they don’t have the entire line. I am dying to try the Healthy Mix serum foundation and concealer!
Corrie says
Right now I’m wearing Zoya’s Happi on my fingernails 🙂 it’s a really pretty pink duo-chrome!

Go Heat

I only speak English, unfortunately. I took Spanish in high school but forgot most of it!
Lori Stewart says
I have a French manicure this week and china glaze Urban Night on my toes.

Kim A says
I just had 4 teeth pulled so I am makeup free 🙁 My hair is pulled back, pretty boring so I painted my toenails a bright Grass-Green and they make me smile looking at them!

Rozae says
Oh, heck yeah, Queen, Beauty Pro and JJ I always flip through when I’m at the library!
Dory says
I will be taking Latin this coming fall 🙂
Lisa B. says
I speak a little French, a little Latin, and I flip through Japanese magazines that I can’t read at all!
Amber says
I’ve seriously gone Coral, Peach and Mint crazy this spring (soon to be summer). I just can’t stop! IT”S SO PRETTY!
Julia Alkaseltzer says
I know a bit of Tagalog and Japanese! I love a lot of Japanese things and wish that there was a Kinokuniya was near me!
I’m currently wearing a brown nail polish, and it’s a shade that looks like milk chocolate 🙁 So I’m going to put a layer of OPI’s gold shatter over it. Hopefully it looks great!
Kristine Ayala says

Jus changed my side part from left to right today: big change!
Lulle says
I don’t read girly magazines at all. Too many ads, not enough real content for my taste!
Nothing on my finger nails these days (I’m lazyyyy!) but I just gave myself a pedi and chose a bright orangey coral, very summery and perfect in flip-flops!
Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Melissa F says
Today I have lavender on most of my nails and bubble gum pink on the ring fingers. Sorry, I can’t remember the names.
Wendy A. says
Those pancakes look amazeballs!
