It’s hard to believe it’s already October… Halloween is just a couple weeks away. Pumpkins are popping up everywhere, and we actually had our first rains of the season this week.
Not cool, Mother Nature. Not cool. 🙂
A lot of my friends prefer this time of year, the autumn, but I wish we could just have summer all year long. I’m one of those savannah cats that likes the heat more than the cold.
This weekend, I just want to catch my breath, watch a little Revenge on TV and maybe do some shopping for a dining room table.
Yes, I still have an empty dining room after more than three years. Well, except for the cardboard boxes, bags of clothes for donation and the food and water bowls for Tabs. He sort of owns the dining room right now, but I reeeeally want it back.
My in-laws have been visiting for a couple days, so that’s been nice. They’ve been keeping themselves busy during the day while El Hub and I work, but we meet them at night for meals. We went out to dinner to a little Italian place in the very pretty, woodland town of Larkspur last night (Fabrizio’s Ristorante), and in a little while we’re meeting them down the street here in Novato for breakfast at Marvin’s.
You know how it is when people visit from out of town. You eat lots and lots and food.
I hope whatever you’re up to, things are good. Have a great day today, and good luck in this weekend’s Sephora e-gift card giveaway. Talk to you soon. 🙂

I love Italian food. It’s one of my fave types of cuisine.

I really want some red streaks in my hair but the keep up is what’s stopping me from doing so n
Alison says
Love that you’re eating well and trying some delicious places! We mostly cook at home, but love when visitors come. Last night, I tried to replicate a delicious dish from a local italian restaurant. We sauteed crimini mushrooms, basil and white onions in olive oil and butter, and then tossed it with the butternut squash ravioli from TJs. I shaved a little parm on top, and we had a salad. It was yummy. Have you tried that ravioli?
Krisabelle says
I LURVES Revenge, too! I live in Atlanta so it is HOT as business here the majority of the time. I love fall for this reason – it’s such a short break here from the heat. You should definitely move farther south, lol! Enjoy your weekend, peaches!
Ivy says
I loooove Italian!

esther says
I Love love love mexican food. and jesus
Fannie says
I LOVE fall. It is my favorite hands down. However, it is just too short! I did warm up to summer a lot this year, though. I do miss the amazing warmth but do not miss that cray yyyyy humidity.
One of my favorite memories is gutting pumpkins with my mom, going through all the guts, picking out the seeds, and baking them 🙂 It is such a cool process, and you really use every bit of the pumpkin ^_^
Nikki says
My favorite season is spring! Everything is so light, airy, and just happy. The weather is also perfect for me – a bit chilly but you can still feel some sun heat! <3 I like Italian food, although most of the time I opt for something else because it's a bit too heavy for me! I've always wanted to dye my hair baby/strawberry milkshake pink and I LOVE glitter nail polish!
How is your weekend going Karen?? Give Tabby a kiss for me 😀
chari says

My favorite season is definitely the Fall. I love watching the leaves change colors, it’s so beautiful. I also think the fashion for fall is the best. Italian food is delicious, especially during the fall, so warm and yummy 🙂
Sharon S says
I love fall for running outside–cool, crisp, dry air is awesome.
Carolyn N. says
I love the fall season!
jen. says
A weekend full of food and fall weather sounds awesome to me. It’s feeling downright autumnal here in AZ… it’s only supposed to be 91F tomorrow! Haha.
I’ve never dyed my hair, but I do get it straightened. That’s pricey enough. I just got some Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Oil, and I’m really liking it so far.
Lala says
I love Italian food!
janey says
Current fave styling product: Bumble and Bumble Texture Creme. Just cut my hair short and this stuff gives me the texture and wave I crave. No muss, no fuss. Genius.
lori says
Hi! My favorite season is absolutely autumn! I love the cooler weather, the warmer scents and colors. I adore the brisk change in the air and the whiff of fireplaces back in use. The fiery oranges and sunset ambers and golds of the leaves are fun, and I love the plums, wine reds, forest greens and midnight navies of fall cosmetics and clothes. Plus, who can resist the embrasing aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and warm vanilla?
Nika says
Italian food is my weakness!!
AG says
For the first time, I think, I’m actually excited ti see summer turn into fall!

Ashley says
Fall is my favourite season but I love winter for the holidays, of course!
Lisa @ Fit in the Midwest says
I love fall because it doesn’t have any major holidays (that I choose to participate in at least), because mums are everywhere and because I am a pumpkin latte fanatic.
Julie says
I love fall. I just drove back yesterday to my mom’s place in Ohio, where I grew up, and I’ve gotten my first taste of fall weather this year. It is heavenly–colorful leaves, crisp air, apple cider, pumpkins….couldn’t ask for anything more!
Rebecca says
My favorite season is Autumn. I live in Texas, so summers are unbearably hot, and they last from April until October. I get to wear my gorgeous tall boots and yummy cashmere sweaters and stop shaving my legs. Also there’s NCAA football, the NFL, MLB playoffs and (I hope) the start of the NHL season. It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year for sports fans like me!

auroragyps says
I’m planning on dying my hair light pink soon (I was supposed to this Summer, but I had some scalp issues due to hot weather & sweating… bleh). As for a primary color, I might for for the right shade of blue, red, or purple. I’d love to dye my hair green, but I don’t think I could pull it off.

I am so happy! We have never had Illamasqua in Canada, and I was at my local Sephora a few days ago and found their nail varnishes! I’m hoping it’s a sign that their whole line is coming!
I bought my first varnish from them, and as expected – i’m totally in love!!!
Georgette says
I adore both the autumn and Italian food — yum!
Michelle O. says
Just got low lights for the first time today – trying to embrace the fall!
Ris says
Every year when I was a kid, my family would invite the neighbors over and we all carve pumpkins together. We’re all quite a bit older, now, though, so we mostly just gather and eat nowadays.
Ankita@corallista says
My hair feels great today after a lovely hair spa! And I don’t think I’ll ever color my hair a bright primary color.
Alix says
Autumn is awesome! Today I went out for British tea and then to a juried craft show, which was really fun.
Brooke says
My favorite season is Fall. Leather boots, jeans, and boots! Also love hot cider and crunchy leaves.
S says
I actually really love fall. We had a very humid summer this year so I’m relieved to actually have some cooler, crisper weather for a change. I think I’d prefer summer if we had dry heat, instead of humidity!
Jenny says
I like the sire redesign, Karen. I hope you’ll swatch that tarte mini AC blush set soon!
Kiss & Make-up says
My favorite season is definitely not fall 🙁 I’ll take summer any day!
colleen boudreau says
I looove Italian food!!
Clara N. says
I like Italian food, but I get a bit sick of it sometimes..
Mariam says
I found my first gray hair a few weeks ago. I’ve never died my hair so it was a little traumatic. I gave a quick cry, plucked it out, and made my gray hair POA. When I start to get multiple strands, I’m going to henna my dark hair until all the roots start getting crazy. THEN I’ll dye it.
Andrea Alli says
I am a sucker for any makeup palette!
aclearcutsign says
I love the fall season…
Lydia says
Fall is my favorite season!

Saddy says
LOVE glitter on my nails. HATE how hard it is to take off.
Aelyn K says
I love autum when it looks like autumn, beautiful orange and golden leaves on trees and everywhere. I love the weather then, a little bit of sun and wind. But it’s never autumn, autumn here. It just gets colder. 🙁
jaymie says
This weekend we’re celebrating my hubby’s birthday! Finally we in the same decade! I’ve been waiting for him to catch up! Lol!
aubrie says
Not a fan of glitter polish. I think I’m too old for it.
Asia Hu says
Hi Karen, I love fall. The leaves changing colors, the subtle breeze, and the smell of apple pie put me in the perfect mood. I can’t wait to go apple picking and dress up on halloween.
jaymie says
Dont see my previous comment…so maybe it didnt go through. But i love glitter nail polish, just hate when i have to take it off!!
Mary says
My hair right now is bright, bright blue! I have to be honest, I love it because I get more compliments when my hair sticks out than I ever did when my hair was its natural color. My bangs are platinum blonde with purple tips, and my hair is neon blue ombre that fades to black at the bottom. It’s beautiful, I have to redo it at least once a month, but I love all the compliments I get on it. Pravana and the Color Ion from sally’s make the best primary colored hair dyes, they seriously last a ridiculously long time, and they don’t fade weird. I used to use Manic Panic, and the blue would fade to this awful greenish color. When I use Pravana or Color Ion, it fades to a lovely shade of turquoise or pastel-blue so I can keep it for up to a month (until I get tired of my dark roots and redo it.)
Ambi says
I love the fall season because you can bundle and layer all types of article of clothing, Winter not so much because it gets too cold for my bones.
indoorkitty says
The burning question I have for the world today is, what is sassafras? I hear people talking about it all the time around where I’m currently professionally exiled. It appears to be what one used to make rootbeer out of, before you know the FDA banned it for liver damage. Hmmmm. So is it something the locals have been using to make homebrew rootbeer? Intriguing.
Is it wrong to wonder what it smells like? I love my liver too hard to try some out, but just a sniff? What do you guys think?
C R Williams says
here we go
Nicole O. says
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I would totally dye my hair a bright red, but since I have dark hair, I’m too scared to bleach my hair. I have dyed my hair like a burgundy red before & I loved it. I miss it, actually.
Erica Falco says
LOVE Italian food considering I’m Italian lol!

Jenna N. says
Is it technically “retweeting” when we are the ones posting the tweet, and not hitting “retweet” to something you posted? Just something I’ve always wondered about. Anywho- it’s the weekend! YAY! I’m hoping that the alleged Sephora Friends and Family sale is really going to happen this year, as per the Makeupalley rumors.

Ash G says
My favorite hairstyle ever was when I was in college and I dyed it blue. I bleached out the bottom 4 inches of my dark brown hair and then dipped it in Manic Panic’s Shocking Blue (for waaay longer than the container says to leave it on). My ends were this amazing vibrant color, but because it was just the ends it wasn’t overwhelming.
Anne says
I think I like winter since the nights are longer. Luckily it doesn’t snow where I live so it’s still bearable!

I am not loving credit card debt.
Kate & Zena says
Yay! I could really use one of these, especially after the day I have had so far!
I used to carve pumpkins all of the time when I lived on base and people used to get really into Halloween. People here don’t get into Halloween here, so carving a pumpkin isn’t much fun! My least favorite part was taking out the innards of the pumpkin as I HATE the texture and the look of it; it looks like brains! Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.
Jaa Maurer says
I love fall/winter the most !!! =D

kelly m says
Italian food is great , but I love Greek food more,that special lamb that they make is the best.
eRiN says
I’ve been seeing pumpkins for sale at all the grocery stores lately – but the weirdest thing! In front of one Safeway, they had these greenish-gray pumpkins next to the white ones. They were zombie-colored pumpkins, I kid you not! Which could come in handy, I guess, for a zombie-o-lantern …
Justine says
I love glitter nail polish!

I just found your blog and I LOVE IT. Being a New England girl…fall is by far my favorite season. The apple picking, the leaves changing, all the pumpkins stuff you can eat or drink, and by far wearing boots and chunky sweaters. Oh yeah, wearing the new oxblood inspired lipstick and nail polish. Best season ever!

I am always confused when it comes to makeup and name brands…. For real, is it better to just buy the colors and all at like Walmart vs going to MAC or another high end cosmetics counter. I do love MAC, but am wondering if it really is worth the mony we spend… All inputs are welcome…lol

Love italian food my favs is lasagna , and also loce pasta with pesto and alfredo sauce, Ia enjoy a four cheese pasta. Bolognese pasta which we had today

Glitter on my nails depends it has to be very small micro in one color and a very similar color than on the polish . something like LA color Addict. OPI Unripened.
NOT chunky , hexagonal or multi colors
If should dare I should make my hair blue, royal blue, instead I used a blue hair dye to cover my start of grey hairs. My hair is almost black kind of soft black so u wont see the blue right away, but the grey does.

My favorite season is definitely Autumn 🙂 Winter comes in a close second. I lovelovelovelove Italian food. I don’t think I would dye my hair such a bright and bold hue.. it would scare me. I love glitter on one nail or at the tips, but I don’t think I could do all of my fingers especially since it’s so hard to get off. I hung out with my boyfriend this weekend whom I haven’t seen in two weeks! 🙂 I have never carved a pumpkin, though I would love to!

I’ve always thought that Kate Winslet’s character in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind has the coolest hair–I don’t know what it is but she really works it unlike anyone I’ve ever really seen in real life with dyed red/blue hair!
Janet Pedrazza says
Hola! Being latin, I’ve always vacillated between keeping my shiny, dark hair or going for the more summery look that highlights provide. I have a naturally olive complexion so I can’t go too light but at the same time, I love the brightness that face-framing highlights can give. What do you think? Please share your thoughts! XOXO
Kesley says
I’m a savannah cat like you too! And if I didn’t have to worry about damage, my hair would already be blue. All of it! Right now I’ve got the underneath of my hair teal and once that fades out I’m going rainbow! Soooo excited!

Just days now before Sephora opens in Sweden 🙂 Happy!
Rita O says
Autumn is definitely my favorite time of the year. I think overall I just function better when it cools down and the leaves are changing colors. I often get really nostalgic, but it is also a time of rejuvenation. My birthday is in November, and this year it will fall on Thanksgiving (as it did in the year I was born) so that will be fun. Hope you’re having a great weekend!
raina99 says
Just got back from a beautiful walk with my puppers. Fall is beautiful 🙂

haha, my family has some relatives in from out of town and all the food we have been treating them to has made me stray from my recently formed good eating habits. i did squeeze in some work outs in the morning before festivities began though.

Hi Karen, I really like glitter polishes like Deborah Lippmann’s collection, but I have such a hard time removing the polish from my nails. Those bigger glitter pieces sometimes just won’t budge. Ugh. So for the moment I’m loving dark creme colors.

Hi Karen! I love your blog and I love your posts of Tabs. 🙂 I recently adopted a kitty. He was majorly sick when we adopted him…but he’s all better now! Kitty’s are so much fun. Yeee.
Thanks for the giveaway btw.
Shevonne says
I love glitter nail polish! I have so much but its so hard to get off.
Sarah says
Thanks so much for the giveaway! I can’t imagine summer all year long. Mississippi summers are pretty brutal- and definitely not good for makeup. Lol. I always look forward to this time of year. Autumn and winter hold my favorite memories, weather, holidays…there’s really nothing I don’t love.

I’m definitely not a big fan of glitter nails… on myself at least, and I have never carved a pumpkin before!
GP says
WOW! 448 comments for this prize…I’m #449. I did tweet an entry as well. I found your blog the other day and I commented on your post about the Sally Hansen nail stickers. Actually I was first on that post. Your blog is awesome! 🙂 Autumn is my favorite fashion season.
Mary says
I love autumn…if it would ever really get here! It’s still hot where I live!
Karla says
Glitter doesn’t fit my look, but I enjoy it so much! I put it on my toes during the winter. That way, I get to have a fun little secret glam when it’s cold outside.

Mad in love with quirky shoes and bright coloured bags!

I’ve never carved a pumpkin. My parents weren’t born in the US; they came here in their 30s so it wasn’t a tradition for them. When I went to friends’ houses I was afraid I would cut myself and my friends agreed I should just watch lol…let’s just say I am a bit of a clutz lol

My favorite season is absolutely fall! I am so excited that I can start wearing boots again, this SoCal weather is killing me..

Dahlia says
Fall is my favorite season…especially since I moved to the Midwest… I am addicted ‘gwps’ and they tempt me to buy products I don’t really ‘need’ just for the gwp :-O.

Christine says
I never ever styled my hair until recently. I have straight black hair that behaves well when air dried, so I didn’t mess with it. But I’ve started curling the ends slightly and putting serums and stuff into my hair, and I’m starting to realize why other girls spend so much time on their hair! I’m considering a multi-dimensional dye job, where you keep your top layer natural color and go two or three shades lighter on the layers underneath.

Great prize!
Lacey J. says
I could really use that sephora gift card for a new foundation this winter! My skin is already way too pale for the two I have in my makeup arsenal. My skin also is super dry all of a sudden so I need something hydrating and lightweight! Nars Punjab sheer glow is my go to. Might pick up a new one in a lighter shade, or I might get something, maybe even more dewy?
Frances says
