Morning! Rise and shine, pal o’ mine. 🙂 It’s caturday! A day to celebrate the glorious awesomeness that is (are?) cats.
OK, not officially, but ya know, if you’re into cats…
What’s shakin’? See any good TV shows or movies this week? El Hub and I went to see The Theory of Everything a few days ago and really liked it. I saw yesterday that the main guy and girl got Oscar nominations. Yeah, they deserved ’em.
Boy, so video… I tried to make one this week, a tutorial, and I did some things differently than I have in the past. Anyway, it kind of spiraled out of control, which is why I disappeared for a couple days. I was trying to edit the thing down, but I underestimated how long it would take.
I had to table it for now, but I learned a few things, so hopefully it goes smoother next time. The lesson here is that editing video can take a looong time.
In other news, it’s very wintry here this morning, but I don’t mean stormy. Just gray and cold and blah… I haven’t figured out what’s on my agenda for today, but for now, I don’t really feel like seizing the day. I feel more like asking El Hub to get me Starbucks and having breakfast in bed, lol. 🙂
I don’t know… Maybe a trip to the mall will liven things up. I haven’t been to Nordies in a while.
Whatever you’re up to, I hope you have a wonderful day, and good luck in the giveaway. (Your nephew says, “mrow,” btw.)

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

A high end beauty product that I think is worth the price would have to be Lancome Definicils mascara and Nars eyeshadow primer. I’m also a huge Beauty Blender fan, though I don’t think of that as high end. I tried other cheap sponges before I finally broke down and bought a Beauty Blender. I had a hard time with the idea I’d be spending $20 and throwing it away in 6 months or so. But it’s TOTALLY worth the hype.
Hubby and I are going to Ikea today. I might ask him to stop in Novato on the way since I got a Loft gift card for Christmas and when I peeled the sticker off the back to get the PIN, the numbers came off with the sticker. So I have to go into the store to get a new gift card.
I would definitely take the money and quit my job!
Hmmm high end brands, I’m starting to believe my clarisonic mia was worth the money as my skin is beginning to look clearer and clearer every day! Oh and Estee Lauder doubel wear light is amazing for oily skin gals!
Thanks so much for the giveayay 🙂
I have been watching Agent Carter and Galavant. (Galavant is pretty hilarious. And Tim Omundson makes me swoon. That hair.)
I think the tom ford lipsticks are definitely worth the splurge!
I think Jordana, the makeup brand, is really underrated. Every product I have ever purchased from the line I absolutely love! You can get it from Walgreens, but they should be put in Sephora and Ulta because the products are AMAZING. My favorite from Jordana is their eyeshadow in ‘Auburn’. You really don’t have to pay that much to get high quality like some people think. I love how affordable the brand is. Y’all should check it out 🙂
I had a FABULOUS perm in 1989.
i would keep the $100! what if the phone number was from a person who previously spent it?
I was forced into a perm in second grade. Horrible decision.
I just love your blog, and it always gives me new makeup crushes to try out and fall in love with!
Yes, I had a perm back in the early 90s.
If I found a $100 bill with that number I would probably just keep it, and not call the number!

I have found money on the ground and most times I keep it, but if it had a owners contact number I feel I would do the right thing and give it to them.
I’ve never gotten a perm. I’m aiming to make loose big curls-waves at home (since I don’t trust hair salons, lol), but they only last for a few hours… I also like the “ombre” hairstyle and I am hoping to get some purple shades soon.
I would take the $10,000 and quit my job without any second thoughts.
I’ve always wanted to get a perm! Korean style loose waves, but always too indecisive to get one!
I love Chanel makeup! Brightens my day 🙂
I don’t know if it’s considered high end, but the Helena Rubinstein Lash Queen Sexy Blacks mascara costs 30€ and it’s totally worth the price, best mascara I’ve tried so far.
Natacha recently posted … OUTFIT // Casual family lunch (and woodcutter look).
Benefit’s Boi-ing concealer is definitely worth the money! I had previously gone through two and decided to try the Tarte one, which is good, but I’m definitely going back to Boi-ing once I’ve used it up.
I’d call the number for the $100
No that I finally have a job I love, I wouldn’t be able to quit it for $10,000. Now…. Maybe for $1,000,000.
Ummm I wont quit my job, I guess as a teacher they depend on me. so it would be bad much more for the senior class.
I have never tried a high end product to be honest so I wont know.
maybe urban decay, or 100 pure? or tarte. those are cruelty free and high end.
No I have never gotten a perm. Don’t think I would like it
I got a perm when I turned 18. Took all my birthday money and went to the hairdresser, asking for luscious locks, despite my mother and aunt telling me it would never work out.
They were right. I walked out crying, and the worst was that my hair was not only looking like major frizz, but was so dry it would break whenever I touched it. About six months later I was left with waves that I really liked, but never again would I do something like this again!

Considering my job is a stay home mom to a wild but precious red headed beauty, I’d laugh in his face because ten grand isn’t close to enough to compensate for all the wonderful work that goes into all I do 24/7 🙂 but as for makeup I sure crave anything lipstick – not even one brand – just beautiful lovely lipstick whether that perfecr color from Mac or that lovely Dolce Gabanna formula or even that rare perfect drugstore formula plus color that is as good as a high end brand. The more lipsticks I can add to my massive collection the better! Love all the fun ideas you come up with Karen for the questions! Great posts, great fun always found on your blog!
I’m a complete makeup novice, but I just went to Sephora yesterday and a lovely woman helped me pick out a bunch of great stuff. I’m looking forward to playing around with it!
I’ve had two or three perms….two I think or maybe three well who knows haha I was 13 with the first one and I kind of loved it and I don’t remember how old I was the other time (times?) I liked having hair that wasn’t just straight but it was too tightly curled for my tastes and I never got the hang of not brushing my hair which made the perm useless!! I decided that I could curl my hair myself if I really wanted it curly though I am spectacularly lazy when it comes to my hair so that never actually happens!
I work part time as a receptionist in a small physiotherapy clinic & there’s no way I’d quit for 10 grand! My boss actually said to me yesterday that he’d do his job for nothing – we really get to help people, and it’s an awesome place to work.
$10,000 would not be enough to get me to quit my job! $10K would not go very far in todays economy!
I wouldn’t take the money!
IMO, high end foundation are usually worth the price tags.
I have never gotten a perm and I probably never will. Being an 80’s kid has left me traumatized when it comes to perms.
Just $10,000? Nope!
Chanel makeup is totally worth the price!!
I grew up in the 80s. Yes! I had a perm for probably 8 years! Ish!
coriwestphal at msn dot com
Illamasqua is definitely 100% worth the mone . My stage makeup is always illamasqua and the products are so pigmented that they last forever!
If I won I’d use the gift card to get the Marsala Pantone eyeshadow palette. *crossing my fingers* : )
The most incredible tatoo I ever saw was a beautiful set of red lips on the back of a woman’s neck. I was at a funeral and she was sitting in front of me and I was fascinated by it. I really do not personally care for tatoos but this one was amazing and so well done.
i would not take the $10,000
If I found the money I would definitely call the number – would be too intrigued not to!
I want to see The Theory of Everything as well. I saw The Imitation Game yesterday. It was good.
The job question cracked me up. What a cheapskate of a billionaire that one is, lol. The guy is a BILLIONAIRE and only offers $10,000? Hahahaha and by the way no, I wouldn’t quit my job for a mere $10,000 even though in Brazil the amount would be even higher due to exchange rate.
I’ll leave the bill on the sidewalk.
I did get a perm in the ’80’s….big mistake. My hair was pretty straight and lifeless back then so I tried a perm for body but my hair curled right up and it was super curly. I cried all the way home.
I did find a 100 bucks on the road once. Years ago. It was always my emergency cash stash and one day when my friend who was going through some rough times needed money, well lets just say. It was a 100 well spent bucks. ☺
I’ve never gotten a perm and don’t ever plan to.
Coolest tatto I’ve seen is mine! Hehe. I’ve got an earth tattooed on my wrist and I love it.
I love Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I have used it for a few years and love the coverage! It also does not crease your shadow. The long wearability of shadows is unmatched by any other primer!
I would call on the $100, out of curiosity if nothing else 🙂
Most incredible tattoo you’ve ever seen in real life?
Two come to mind- my friend has a really big tree of life on her back that is gorgeous, the tree is really gnarly and branchy, it looks hauntingly beautiful.
The second one I don’t even know what they’re of- but there is a guy who always goes to the gym at the same time as me who hangs out in the sauna too who has amazing chest tattoos. I try not to stare, I mean, I don’t want to seem like I’m checking him out, but his torso tattoos are really well done. ^_^
I definitely think Guerlain and Hourglass makeup are worth the cost, as well as Chanel (mainly blush/face powders) and YSL (mascara and lip products). I tend to gravitate towards high end makeup though. The packaging is so killer.
I love makeup and Sephora is one of my faves! I would love to have a little shopping spree in that store. 🙂
I think I’d like to start making my own videos 🙂
Hi Karen!
Re the $100,00 bill I will go to the police, show the bill to them and then call the number…… who knows? Does this bill is part of robbery? Does it belong to someone who intend to find an honest person? or…..or……or………or
Last week in the hospital I saw an old man (biker genre) with a tatoo “enjoy yourself” just above the genitals. OMG it was hilarious!!
I think that Perricone MD at Sephora is totally worth the price. I like their Pore Minimizer toner $55!
“An eccentric, anonymous billionaire offers to give you $10,000 if you’ll quit your job today. Do you do it?”
No way, I make more than that in a year, and I can barely support my mother and I. If he’s a billionaire, maybe he should offer me a million… then maybe I’d consider it. 😛
Wouldn’t quit my job for the $10,000, would leave the $100 bill on the sidewalk out of pure suspiciousness, and I am a cheapskate so the most expensive brand I buy from is Urban Decay, heh. X)
My favorite department high end product that I think it’s worth the price is Hourglass! I love their makeup!! Makes me feel luxurious and pretty and their products is just amazing!!
If I found the dollar bill I would definitely call the number. I would only meet them in public (I’ve seen enough episodes of Criminal Minds to give it back to them at a sketch address).
You find a $100 bill on the sidewalk this afternoon with a note on it that says, “If found, please call 555-364-1212.” What do you do?
Well, I am not sure. I am thinking I would spend it because who knows how long that has been on there?
I would so quit my job and take the money.
I had a perm once and that was it for me . . . never again!
When I was in high school perms were totally in especially the spiral perm which I got. I thought my head would fall off from the weight of the curlers
I have never gotten a perm… and I don’t plan to!
When I was a kid my mom always cut my hair short and a few times she permed it. I looked like little orphan Annie!
Yes I have had a perm before, I was in middle school & got one done right after my sister got hers. Only one I ever did, it was one time thing.
If offered 10,000 I would take as currently I have no job but I am looking and could use the $$ !!
If I find a $100 bill on the sidewalk without seeing the person drop it, I am keeping it.
With the makeup thing. All the time ha ha. I must be putting it on in some bad lighting.
The first perm I ever had was when I was 13 and my best friend who was 14 gave me one. It didn’t come out half bad although the other half came out looking like a big frizz ball. That turned me off of getting a perm for a few years but when you have straight hair and you see your friends with perms that look great, that’s what you want. So this time I went to a professional and when she was done it looked great but I could never get it to look like that so no more perms for me.
I have never gotten a perm and probably never will
I’m such a make-up addict but my finances dont allow for high end brands. To be able to stay with current trends I can only afford to buy budget brands.
Heck no! if someone gave me a 10,000 i would not take it if i had to quit my job. 10,000 is not going to last long at all especially if you have rent/mortgage to pay. I hate the feeling of scrabbling to find a job, waiting for an answer, then going to interviews. I rather have a steady income
I guess if the phone # was on the bill, I’d feel like I had to call…
I bust out laughing….YEP, I’ve had a perm lol. The style/trend was called “beans on toast” in England; short back and side & permed on the top. (God help me lololol).
hello! i’m glad you’re trying to make videos, but i understand it’s a lot of work. *sigh* keep at it!
hmmm, a high end brand….i haven’t had the chance to splurge on a high high end brand, but i imagine chanel is one worth the price. 🙂
Yes I’d quit, and get myslef a new job 🙂
Yes, I have had one before.
If I found money with a phone number on it, I’d call but I wouldn’t do it from my cell or home phones. Maybe work, where the extension wouldn’t be visible… just in case!
Have you ever tried any First Aid Beauty products? If you have would you do a review on them?
I’ve never gotten a perm, but I want to get one for body waves! I’m so sick of straight hair sometimes.
I’d take the money and quit my job in a heartbeat.
I’d quit my job, but have to find a new one, 10 thousand isn’t going to last long.
I totally feel you on your “blah” day today. I’m close to Seattle and it’s been chilly and rainy here for the past couple of months lol. Every dreary day makes me want to just lay in bed with a cup of Starbucks, cozying up to HGTV. 🙂
Natasha recently posted … New Year: New Changes, New Discoveries, New Plans
Lol, I grew up in the Eighties so I absolutely have had a perm (and I never remember a time when it turned out well)!
Clarins is totally worth it!
Have you ever gotten a perm? yes but disastrous
I have never gotten a perm.

For 10k, I wouldn’t quit. I like my job too much. But I would take that money and go on a nice vacation!! Thanks for the contest! Have a great weekend!
I would totally quit my job for $10,000. And I would call the number so I could hear the story behind the $100.
I just bought my daughter an outfit with black and white cats on it. So cute!
Hmm that’s not nearly enough to quit my job, but if it allows me to apply to newer and better jobs, maybe that would work as my inspiration!
I’d quit my job for $10k!
I put perms in my hair until 2011. Then I transitioned and eventually did the big chop. I’m a proud naturalista and I love my curls!
Quit my job for $10,000? No. I do eldercare for families and my families rely on me. So, OK, it takes me quite a while to earn $10,000 doing it, but, still. I would feel like a jerk.
And I wouldn’t be able to resist calling the number on the note. I’d be too curious not to.
I never got a perm, but my mom used to!
Entered the rafflecopter form as “Wild Orchid”
Thanks for the chance to win!

woot
I’ve never had a perm,but I remember going through a phase as a kid where I DESPERATELY wanted one.
Yes, I had a spiral perm back in the 90’s.
Oh yes I have gotten a perm and my second grade school pictures proves it!!! What horrible pictures.
I had a perm once wasn’t a good look for me!
Have you ever gotten a perm?
Actually when I was younger I had a curly perm for a very long time. It was okay while it lasted , but the older I got the more I wanted to do away w/ the curly and simply relax.
I don’t think I’d give up my job for $10,000. But since I’m currently unemployed, does that mean I’d GET a job plus $10,000? Because that I’d do. 😉
I would soooo quit my job for $10k – I’m unhappy with my current job(no work-life balance AT ALL) and $10k will provide me with living cost and I can look for another job! 🙂
I don’t know that many people who have tattoos, but I really like the tattoos that look like they were painted or draw/sketched (if you know what I mean?). So the coolest tattoo I’ve seen in real life, is a sketched fox that a classmate has. The fox is mid-jump and looks sooooo cool.
If there is one expensive makeup product that is totally worth the money, it is the chanel universal loose powder. It is so fine and makes the skin look flawless!
I ran 2 miles yesterday and I’m rewarding myself with makeup!
I really hope to win this :C
I wish $10,000 was enough to quit my job but it’s not!
My grandmother gave me a perm when I was 13, it didn’t take!
i used to get perms back in the 80’s, i always wanted ringlets but ended up looking like little orphan annie
I’ve never had a perm, but I remember once my mom had it. Old ‘good’ times.
The most incredible tattoo i’ve ever seen is a Dark Tower quote around a rose – it is perfection and I want it so much.
I got a perm when I was about 8 years old. It was cute at the time, except for the extra short, curly bangs!
If I found an hundred dollar bill like that, there is a one hundred percent chance I would immediately search around for hidden cameras.
Then out of curiousity I imagine I would block my number and call!
I AM A BEAUTY JUNKIE!!!!!!!!!!!! :O

Dior glosses are the shiniest glosses ever!
I used to perm my hair all the time like forever ago, don’t think I ever will again.
I wanted a perm but the lady who I went to said not to get one that it would ruin my hair. So no, I’ve never have had a perm 🙂
$10,000? No way. Add a couple of zeros to that figure, though, and we’re talking.
I like my job for the most part, so I wouldn’t quit for $10 K. Not that I make a whole lot, but it would have to be 2 years salary for me to do it. Then I could take a nice break and probably get my job back after that.
Love Clarisonic! And Bobbi Browns new illuminating balm is amazing 🙂
I’ve never gotten a perm before.
I would loveeeeee to win this giveaway! I’ve been dying to get my hands on a higher-end eye shadow palette, (specifically the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette!) but I’m a broke college student so I rarely have the extra money to use on expensive makeup.
I would probably call the number to return the money, truly. I can’t help imagining myself in their shoes, and feeling good about myself is worth more than $100 any day!
I have perm my hair and never ever again. And for $10.000 i will not quit my job, maybe for $100.000…lol
Do you ever see yourself in the mirror, notice your makeup and think, “OMG! When did I do that?”
Oh man. There was the time I wore foundation out for the first time. It was hideous. Cake city.
I have the “OMG! When did I do that?” mostly after I get out of a class and realize that I accidentally leaned on my palm and wore off the blush on one side of my face… or that my mascara smeared because my professor bored me to tears!
Yes, I got a perm in the 80’s….not once but twice! (Will NEVER do that again!!)
Yes, I would call the phone number for the lost $100 bill because I would hope someone would do the same for me.
and Yes, I have looked in the mirror and thought…”What was I thinking?”
I’ve never had a perm but after seeing old pics of my mom’s fried 80’s hair I’m glad I never had. I have purple highlights now, though, and the first time required two rounds of bleaching that caused most of my under-hair to break off!
My cat went in heat the day before scheduled spaying. Shes only 9 months and tries to seduse the 7 year old castrated male, but he has no clue what she wants hahaha.
(We could comment about anything?)
I think the high end product that is most worth the price is dior addict lipsticks (don’t even feel them on my lips!) and foundation. Loving Estee Lauder double wear and Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk atm. I’m also loving the NARS dual intensity eyeshadows in Subra and Himalia.
Have I ever had a perm? I was in my 20s in the 90s – spiral perms were THE thing back then. Hideous!
as a kid, totally rocked an ogilvie home perm!
I haven’t had a perm in years, which is probably a good thing. I have blond hair, and it looked pretty burned out and dry with a perm.
I turned 36 in September and just after the beginning of the year decided I needed to start wearing makeup. This would help boost my collection tremendously! 🙂 Thank you for the opportunity!
I used to get perms in elementary school, it was the early 90’s! 😉
Anytime I get a sudden urge to buy that brand new product or pondering which shade to grab from the collection, you are my go-to-girl!
Thanks for your fun filled posts~
I wouldn’t mind getting those $50 to splurge on a couple of items I have been eyeing for awhile!
I really want to try the new Sephora cleansing set.
Got a perm when i was a child. It was Annie days and my cousins and I were wearing red dresses and insisted on getting perms to look like her.
If I found 100 dollar with a phone number to call when found I would definitely would call……someone could be looking to reward a person who would do that and also you usually get in life what you give back…..KARMA
I think Tarte and Stila are totally worth every penny!
I once paid for a boyfriend to get a Louis Wain cat tattoo. (Look up Louis Wain if you like crazy cat art!)

I would only quit my job for enough money to live on the rest of my life. 10,000 is not near enough. I have a retirement and health insurance. And I could see myself doing what I do for the rest of my life.
I think my first perm was kindergarden I think. I know I was really young and wanted curly hair. I will have to ask my mom. As much as I would love a great excuse to quit my job I don’t think 10K would do it. I’m not a fly by the seat of my pants girl, and not knowing if I have a similar or better job to go to would make me anxious.
Yes, I have to admit….I absolutely have seen myself in the mirror, noticed my makeup and thought, “OMG! When did I do that?”!!
I am so tired that I want to sleep all day tomorrow!
If I saw a hundred dollar bill with a note on it I would really wonder why the person would leave a note on their money. Seems odd. I might call or I might just donate the money and call it a day. Lol
If I win this I would get the Hourglass Ambient Lighting blush palette!
Most incredible tattoo you’ve ever seen in real life?
Green leaves and pink flowers on a girl’s butt all around the anus. Hope this wasn’t too graphic. It really was beautiful.
Sometimes, especially when my eyeliner is really nice, I’ll catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and be like “SWEET JESUS THAT LOOKS AWESOME”. Same with the few occasions when I get vampy dark lipstick to look right.
I am not sure if a perm refers to curling or straightening hair, but i would love to have a perm to permanently straighten my very curly hair 🙂
I would not take the 10K.. I would totally return the $100.. and nope never got a perm before.
I’d definitely call the # for the $100 . . .
Never had to get a perm because my hair was pretty wavy when I was a kid. I usually twist my hair up, clip it, and leave it that way for a few hours. Once I take the clip out, I have some pretty nice curls!
I’d call and give it back.
Face makeup products (concealer, foundation, powder) by Lancome are totally worth it. They work wonders on my skin!
I had perms all the time when I was a kid. It was so easy to style in the mornings!
I have totally taken a double take at myself whilst passing a mirror to admire some gorgeous make up. I am a bit of a late comer to the makeup game and so I have to wear it all while I can! Thanks Karen for all you do! I enjoy reading your posts every day!
I’m so horrible at putting on makeup – I hope to improve my troweling skills in 2015.
I used to get perms in grade school. Never again!
I got a permanent once in college. It was fun having curly hair and was easy to do my hair but it looked terrible as it grew out!
I need allll the Anastasia liquid lippies!!!!
I definitely would not take the $10,000, LOL!
I would quit my job without blinking 😉
Never gotten a perm, but I wanted one so bad when I was a kid. I thought it would look awesome. As an adult, I am very thankful that my mom thought it was a bad idea. 🙂
Oh my word; I had a permullet (perm/mullet) in fifth grade. It looked as if a poodle was nesting on my head. My grandma talked me into it & paid for it as part of my back-to-school process. It was not a good fashion decision, especially on a chubby, nerdy tween.
No, I’ve never gotten a perm! I don’t think my hair would react well
I would not quit my day job for just $10,000. A job I truly love is worth more than that. Like others have stated $10,000 is not going to go far in today’s world.
I have never gotten a hair perm, but I have gotten a lash perm! :3
the most incredible tattoo I have seen was on a guy’s stomach and it was the rear end of a cat with it’s tail in the air and it’s bottom was his belly button 🙂
As much as I can think of so many uses for the money, I can’t think of another job that I can see myself doing at the moment. The money would only work for so long, so as much as I would love to go on a spending spree, I would have to say no thanks. LOL
I have never gotten a perm
No I’ve never gotten a perm but I know that my mom used to rock them. I love your blog!
The $100? I’d phone. It could be some research project, or something else interesting. I was once with a friend in a department store when she realized she had dropped a $20 bill while at the cash register. We went to the lost and found, and someone had turned it in.
I have gotten a perm before and quite liked it.
I’d quit my job for 10,000! I’m a student so I only have a weekend job to quit 😉
I got a perm and it was the worse decision I ever made! Thank goodness I was only 14 at the time lol
If I found $100 the only thing I looked at on it before it was spent is what old dude was on it. Kol
I would totally quit my job for that ten k… I mean… We gallery assistants don’t earn a whole lot! And I need to pay my tuition!!
I ve never gotten a perm 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway!
I have never gotten a perm since my hair is naturally curly 😀
I’m quickly finding that Dior is worth the price. I used to think anything more expensive than Clinique and Mac was just silly…. Until I tried Bobbi Brown…. Which was like a gateway to go even more expensive… YSL Glossy Stains brought me into the truly high end world…. Then I started trying Dior…. And every Dior product I have tried, I’ve pretty much loved. Well worth the price!
I look through my old make-up pictures and pretty much every single one of them is the OMG when??? situation 😀
When I look back at old pictures of myself and I see my eyebrows I could literally DIE! So embarrassing! I just don’t get how at the time I didn’t realize how BAD they were…

$10,000 isn’t very much and doesn’t go very far. No way!
The last time I found money on the street, I gave it to the next homeless person I saw. It wasn’t mine but I would not call.
$10k is not enough to quit my job. I make almost 10 times that so the money would last maybe 2 months with my expenses.
I permed my hair for 4 years but already switched to pixie cut and would never go back again XDD
I have never gotten a perm.
Hi Karen, I never found money on the sidewalk, so if today I find a $100 bill, I think I would keep it ^^
most incredible tatoo I ever saw was on a young Japanese who had his whole family tattoed on his chest, including the cat!!!
I would quit my job in a blink of an eye.
An eccentric, anonymous billionaire offers to give you $10,000 if you’ll quit your job today. Do you do it?
Totally! I’d invest it and enjoy its fruits
Je prendrais le 10000$ et m’offrirais un année sabbatique.
I have yet to ever get a perm
An eccentric, anonymous billionaire offers to give you $10,000 if you’ll quit your job today. Do you do it?
Response: Yes I would quit my job and start my own business in my hometown|(I’ve got some good, inexpensive, simple ideas.
if I found the $100 I would call
If a billionaire offered me $10,000 I would quit my job right now!
I would absolutely quit my job! I am trying to find a new one anyways
Got lots of perms in the 80s. Never again!!!
No perm, never!
I had a perm in middle school!
I would quit my job in a HEARTBEAT and pursue something makeup related workwise instead… Love from Sweden!
yes I’ve had a perm
Hell yah, I’ll quit my job, pay my bills with that money!
I have never had a perm I am so lucky I have naturally curly hair. The only drawback is I love it long so everyday I have to comb it thoroughly with an affro and in winter I wear a cap to stop my hair looking like I just got an electric shock lol 😉
If I found a C-note with that message on it, I would call because it would most likely be part of some sort of experiment. I can’t think of any other reasonable explanation for writing something like that on money!
If I found a $100 with a note saying to call a number if found, I would definitely call and pray that it wasn’t some sort of elaborate conspiracy scheme or set up 🙂
I think a billionaire would have to give me way more than $10,000 if I had to quit my job!!
An eccentric, anonymous billionaire offers to give you $10,000 if you’ll quit your job today. Do you do it?
Add another zero to that, and then we have a deal! 😉
If i found the dollar bill, i would ring the number.
If a billionaire gave me $10,000 I would use it to pay off student loans but I would not quit my job.
tough questions. I’m unemployed but at my last job, it was pure craziness so I would have taken it.
If I found a $100 bill asking me to call a number, honestly? I’d leave it there and let someone else deal with that responsibility! If it seems too good to be true, it usually is! My first assumption would be that it’s a pyramid scheme situation.
I don’t think I’d take the 10,000$ its hard to find job openings in my line of work where I live and that much money wouldn’t last very long.
I would call the number and give the money back. Karma.
I’d call for sure… pure curiosity. LOL
I just ate crackers topped with cranberry apple butter & sharp cheddar. Best snack ever!

You really know about it. People will be confused if they have to comment about ANYTHING hahaha,,
I just want to thank about this giveaway tho. I am international reader 🙂
Tom Ford is totally worth the hype and the prices!
I went through a phase of spiral perms, foolishly trying to duplicate Andie McDowell’s lovely hair.
I think if I had the money, Tom Ford is the brand I would always buy from! I think his makeup is totally worth it!
I used to get perms but stopped several years ago.
Definitely return the $100 – I’m all about good karma!
This has nothing to do with makeup. When I was maybe around five years old, I thought that if I went to the Nickelodeon site on my dad’s laptop and cut open the screen, the characters on the site would come to life.
Reality’s not as much fun.
I think that Tarte’s Cheek Stain ($30 each, ouch) and Josie Maran’s Argan Illuminizer ($28) are totally worth every cent. I love the living daylights out of them.
Never a perm….
The other questions are too hard! Though I would call the number on the $100.
I have never had a perm, but there was a time when I wanted one…
What a great giveaway! Hope I win it!! Fingers crossed 😉 xx
Even though I have straight hair, I love getting a straight perm every now and again.
If I found the $100 bill, I would definitely call. What have I got to lose? I may consider blocking my cell phone number before calling. Honestly, I’d probably Google the number first too.
I got a japanese straightening perm a few times when I was younger. It dried out my hair like crazy so I’ve since opted towards keratin treatments. They work so much better even though they aren’t as permanent.
I just brought two Hourglass Modernists pallettes before I’ve even seen one in person yet…the struggle is real, and the makeup so tempting! UGH LOL!
If I found a $100 with a note and a phone number on it I would absolutely call and get the money back to its rightful place!
$10,000 is not enough!
NARS blush is definitely worth it
I don’t think I would return the 100 bill. If somebody left a note on the bill saying that they’re obviously just doing some kind of test or social experiment and they put it there on purpose, I’ll go buy some makeup instead.
hope you are having a great weekend Karen! thanks for the giveaway!
whenever someone says perm that scene in Legally Blonde plays in my head.
“You know, a girl in my sorority, Tracy Marcinco got a perm once. We all tried to talk her out of it.. She didn’t have your bone structure”
Oh dear god, yes, I have had a perm. I was in middle school in the 90’s and totally wanted to rock the Mariah Careh spiral perm. Let’s just say I look back on those pictures and cringe :/
I’ve never had a perm, I’ve always been too chicken. I have a fair amount of hair and my hairdressers have also been leery of perming it for fear I would have a total fro, which I don’t have the bone structure to carry off. Now I’m at the salon once a month getting blonde highlights touched up and it is Super Dry. A perm would end in a hair funeral.
Good luck on the video end. I think tutorials are exhausting to put together–either photo ones. I did one recipe post where I did everything shot by shot ala Ree of Pioneer Woman and it took Hours!

You find a $100 bill on the sidewalk this afternoon with a note on it that says, “If found, please call 555-364-1212.” What do you do?
I would just take it to the police station and have the police officers handle it. I mean is very suspicious.
Chanel nail polish, DiorStar Foundation and Laura Mercier eyeshadow palettes all worth the $$. I usually find good deals on them anyway but would pay full price if needed.
Thanks so much for making this giveaway int’l! I love makeup and Sephora, I was so excited when we got one here in Saskatchewan!
I would definitely wait my job and take the money!
Yes, I have gotten a perm once but never again. That was decades ago.
If someone offered me $10,000, I would definitely quit my job. Of course I’d get on searching for a new one fairly soon after, but I’d take a bit of time to rest and recuperate first.
Yes, I had several unfortunate perms in the 80’s.
I had perms when I was 12 up until the time I left for college and got a pixie hair cut so that I wouldn’t have to mess with my hair and never permed my hair since then.
I’ve never had a perm! I don’t imagine it would be a good look on me.
No, I would definitely not quit my job for $10,000. $10 million, maybe!
: OMG, I never had a perm. Can’t afford it. Wow, prize $50 gc is fab. & splendid. 2 fingers snap. It is tight, fly & off the chain. Thank you for the awesomeness, the contest, and generosity. Pick me
Department store brand that’s worth the price is Benefit, Urban Decay and Tarte
Unfortunately, $10,000 would not be enough to get me to quit my job!

yes, I have had a perm
Keep the $100 and goggle the number LOL
I love makeup that lives up to its promise, 8 hour lipstick that actually lasts 8 hours
my best friend and I run a store together so I couldn’t quit for 10k!
Yes! I got a perm about 8 years ago and I loved it! I got it at a Korean hair salon and they called it a digital perm. I have no idea why it’s supposedly digital but it turned out great (big, soft, wavy curls). My hair didn’t dry out and didn’t feel damaged at all. I didn’t do it again because it lasted so long that I got tired of it and when I finally had everything cut off (in stages over about a year), I then got my hair rebonded into a stick straight look.
The last perm I got was about 13 years ago and my hair starting falling out after it – never again!
I’ve never had a perm. I was way too young to get one back when they were popular, and my hair doesn’t even need one anyways.
Today, January 18th— 20 YEARS AGO TODAY, Star Trek Voyager premiered!!! I can remember watching that first episode and it blows my mind that much time has passed. Back when I had an obsession with lip gloss and body glitter…. marshmallow lip smackers was my jam. My, times have changed. 🙂
The Patriots just won! On to the Superbowl!
I turned the big 3-0 this past Saturday, and even though I’m bummed about getting older, my husband made it extra special!
I got a perm in 7th grade – back in the early nineties when big hair was the thing to have. What a disaster!
I’ve always wanted to try getting a perm, but I don’t want it to kill my hair! D;
I got a perm once and never again! It was so curly it became kinky, so bad looking hated it!
Not worth it for only $10,000!
I’m totally obsessed with the new Marsala shade mostly in eyeshadow because it compliments my skin tone and eyes
$10,000? That’s not enough money! That only covers the mortgage bills for a few short months. Now, for a couple of million? Yes! Although I think after a while I’ll want to work part time out of boredom haha
I would definitely take the $10,000 and quit my job as it looks like I may be replaced soon.
I would probably call the number on the $100. I wouldn’t want to, but I’d feel guilty haha.
Not worth it for 10000 bucks 🙂
Lol $10,000 is not even CLOSE to enough to get me to quit my job (even if it feels like I hardly make much more than that!). It’d be like…call me when you give me enough to cover all my debt x 2.
Lol, I had a perm in grade school. My mom had tried every type of hot roller & a couple diff curling irons but the curl would always fall out almost as soon as I moved my head. That damn perm stuck in my hair for so long it had to grow out! Grrrrrrr
The high end make-up brand I’m in love with is Hourglass, their ambient lighting powder makes my skin look healthy and glowing. The hourglass mineral primer is also amazing it is the only product that keeps my skin from turning into an oil slick
Oh I LOVE Dior lip glosses!!
Hi karen, hope you are having a great weekend. Estee Lauder is definitely worth the price tag!
Halfway through my work year (I work for a school district)! I look forward to my vacations 😉
I think Fresh is one make up/ skincare brand that’s totally worth it!! I love their skincare, especially their exfolliant!
For high-end brands that worth the price i would say Chanel’s lipsticks and Dior’s foundations !
I have seen some pretty amazing tattoos, but I have to say that I love my own because I got it to symbolize my children. 🙂
I think my Lancome foundation is the best and worth the price
Nars – worth every penny!
if i found a 100 bill with a number to call if found i would sometimes taking chances leads to great things.
Let’s the make up question of when did I do that ? When I was learning do do my cat eye liner in a thick line Oy that was awful but I was like 12. Lol
No I have never gotten a perm. Don’t think I would like it Love my hair!
I’ve never done any video editing but, I can assure you, it would take me about 10x as long as you. So, there’s that. 🙂 And, at least, you’re learning new skills which is super important in terms of keeping your brain young. 🙂
I definitely wouldn’t quit my job for $10,000. That wouldn’t even get me through 3 months.
I would keep the $100, thats just weird to call the number lol.
My mom used to give me home perms in middle school. It was…not good.
I always wanted to get a perm but too scared to push through. My long straight hair might just get ruined :-/
Hmm my mom made me get a perm when I was in the fourth grade because she thought I’d look cute with curls.. It was atrocious, complete disaster haha. As a child I was my mom’s guinea pig and she tried all of her whims on me so I got many a bad hairstyle/cut/color, outfit, etc.
Dear karen, the more i read your blog the more my purse drain.
You make me want to try everything !!!
I got a perm when I was in high school and now when I see pics of it , it was definitely a big MISTAKE!
$10,000 doesn’t go as far as it sounds like it would, so no – I would not quit my job for $10,000 – however if the offer was $20,000 and it’s under the table (so no taxes) I would go for it.
I’ve never had a perm, but I used to want one!
If I found the $100 bill – I would definitely call the number. Karma people!
One day you wake up, and you’re 50 years old. You look in the mirror and think…omg, what do I do? That’s when you go to Sephora, spend some money and think…yeah, that’s what I do!
I’d have to be offered ten times that in order to quit my job! 🙂
i have never gotten a perm
I had a perm in high school…funny thing is I have naturally curly hair now.
I’ve never gotten a perm, my hair is naturally curly…but I have gotten a keratin treatment to keep it str8 🙂
I need the new Nars Pallet in my life!!
If I found a $100 bill on the ground with a note about returning it- I would absolutely do it.
Although my motives are not pure…that seems that a reward waiting to happen.
I would call the # on the bill though that’s bizarre haha (who would put a number on their money?). I’d call and block my number to make sure it’s not a scam.
I’m so bad at touching my face and around my hairline when I’m running my fingers through my hair and rubbing my eyes that at the end of the day I never know what my makeup will look like 😛
I have a perm in my hair right now but one day I would like to cut it all out
$10,000 wouldn’t get me very far.
I’ve never gotten a perm, but I’d consider it… it might help my short hair look fab more easily!
I have super curly hair, no need for a perm. 🙂
sephora is my home!!
My long hair had always had a light, natural perm up till a year ago. Will get a perm once every two years. It’s stayed au natural now for the longest period ever; sans perm and sans color.
I used to rock perms in grade school. I prefer hot rollers or a straightener now.
I’ve never gotten a perm, but I’ve gotten highlights!
The high end product that I think is worth the price is the Nars virtual domination palette I ♡ it!!!
I am wondering why I keep entering all these rafflecopter giveaways when I never ever win .. But it would be amazing to get the gift card and “invest” into the upcoming NARS dual intensity blushes.. It reminds me of the dual
Blushes from Dior. High end .. Hmm I would say Dior is amazing but I guess Chanel beats it more .. I do want to buy Tom Ford brushes though but gosh they are pricey ..!
I wonder why my comment love didn’t show .. Hmmm

Hi Karen! I had a perm when I was 12 and it was definitely regrettable. This is especially evident when you see my 8th grade school pictures where half of my hair is straight and half of it is curly from the perm being half grown out. Ugh.
My ole Henriksen skin care regime is worth the price tag
$10,000.00 is not enough money to walk away from a job in this day and age lol.
I would definitely call the number and return that $100. Somebody might really be relying on that money, so it would bother me. Unfortunately, I had several perms in my teens, twenties, and thirties. The last perm I got was in 2003, and I’ll never get another one. Thanks for another giveaway Karen!!
I used to get perms in my hair up until the mid 80s. When I look at pictures of my permed hair I cringe — I will NEVER get a perm again, never-ever!
Nope, never had a perm~
Bye bye Target Canada
Thanks for having a giveaway. I’ve too chicken to ever get a perm!
I wont quite my job for 10,000 . .. and yes I have gotten a perm in the past. Thanks!
Anything from Hourglass is worth the money especially their primer. Another high price brand that I love is Stila. Their eyeliner is the best.
