What I Am Is What I Am

August 7th, 2009 by Karen 5 Comments

‘Cause a rose is still a rose;
Baby girl, you’re still a flower.
He can’t lead you and then take you;
Make you and then break you.
Darling, you hold the power.

(Aretha Franklin, A Rose is Still a Rose)

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
