Rise and shine, pal o’ mine! It’s going to be a beautiful day. 🙂

Happy caturday to ya. I hope you slept well and did a little recuperating from the week. Did you have any good dreams that you remember? Or any weird dreams?

I can’t recall if I did… I hope so.

Oh! — get this: your nephew tabby was unusually affectionate this morning. Before I got out of bed, he was all up in my grill, giving me headbutts galore with slow blinks and purring loudly.

Yes, it was a nice way to start the day.

In other news, dinner with my in-laws last night. We had a good time. If you’re ever out this way and craving Italian food, I can’t recommend Fabrizio’s enough (aren’t those food pics on the website gorgeous?). It’s a family-run place right downtown near lots of little shops and cafes along the boulevard.

Well worth a trip across the bridge if you live in San Francisco, and after dinner you could walk a block down the street and catch a movie at the Lark.

I think Larkspur is an underrated gem out here in Marin County. Sausalito gets tons of attention, but people sometimes forget about Larkspur.

Good luck in this weekend’s giveaway, and if I don’t catch you again before tomorrow, have a very happy Easter. 🙂

    We have 3 pets, female dogs puppies, Roxy and Lexy. And a Rooster named Joe, The girls live in a kind of closed porch, big enough for them to run, of course it has a roof. ( we don’t trust neighbors)
    and Joe is just loose in the yard. He is older so he knows better.

    Favorite lipstick Mac rebel bough it before Mac decided to sell in china was cruelty free back then. Just love this shade, and its texture and finish.

The girl kitten we call Ms. Thang because she has a tough attitude. It’s hilarious how they play with each other. We call them the Ninja kitties.

    Let I’m tell you a story about two kitties: Nhocas,a girl,and a boy named Tico.
    The first to enter my life was Nhocas, a six year old cat. I had just moved to a new house and she was my neighbours’ pet. We got along just fine and quickly she belonged to the two houses. For two years she helped me to live with a muscular disease. My super kitty as I called her. Last year she passed away. Something in her liver. I was shocked, in the same day I was accepted to college. I like to believe she waited for me to get what I worked so hard for. Oh, did I tell you the worst part? It was my birthday. But I’m grateful for those two years of joy and she was loved, and still is, for two families.
    This January my neighbours brought a small kitty home. It was Nhocas’s brother, really.
    And now this kitty ( kitty? He’s so big I don’t believe it’s a kitty anymore!) lives with the two families. The best way to honor my best friend its to take care of her family and be happy, right?

    MORNING ROSE by MAC!

    First lipstick color to come to mind! Now that I think about it I’m so mad that I didn’t by two of those when I had the chance. For the love of limited edition lippies…and for some reasons that the main lipstick I always seem to misplace…because I will most likely never be able to get it again.

    My favorite makeup bag is a teal and gold chevron printed barrel makeup bag from Too Faced. It was from a recent set sold at sephora, and my favorite person there found it in the drawer when looking for the product I wanted, and just gave it to me! It was part of the display, but they took it down and it no longer served any purpose. Lucky me! I keep all of my lipsticks that I carry with me in it.

    i like cards against humanity, but my favorite “board” game is the bowl game, which you can make on your own. everyone submits 3-5 “clues” on pieces of paper that are people, things, quotes, etc. and puts them in a big bowl. you have 2 teams. on the first round, you play it like taboo, where people have 1 minute to describe as many clues as possible without saying the work. 1 point for each correct guess. after the bowl is empty, round 2 is charades. round 3, you can only say 1 word.

    Is it weird I try to do all three while at the gym? Whenever I do cardio at the gym I have a specific treadmill I like because it gets maximum wireless connection. It has a TV that gets the local station, and is in front of the big screen TVs for sports and national news. So if nothing’s on TV I can watch something on YouTube or listen to music on Spotify.

I can wear it and not have to worry too much throughout the day, like I would with a red lip. It’s pretty neutral and it smells so pretty! (like all MAC lippies do!).

    Hi! Do I live on a farm? No but, because of my pets, some people think I do. lol I have a boxer dog named Neo that I rescued two years ago. He’s a lover! In addition, there are two cats. Isabella a grey fluff ball and Pookie a medium haired black cat. Then, throw in two parakeets named Lilly & Willy just to mix it up & add some drama to the whole situation. Ha ha! Hoping you have a great week!

    I did my family’s traditional Easter egg hunt this year…at 28 years old. I wouldn’t mind if we didn’t do it anymore I suppose, but all of the cousins (who are also in their twenties) still love doing it and my mother gets some strange fun out of being our geriatric Easter bunny. Of course, because we’re all assured of getting candy anyway and just because I’m not as mercenary when it comes to sugar as I used to be as a child, I’m perfectly content to just wander my aunt’s backyard, enjoying the (usually) fine Spring weather. And yet, somehow, this year, my most competitive cousin and I tied for finding our eggs the fastest so that was actually kind of fun. Even if I’m a twenty-something looking for plastic eggs. 😛

    Oh, and um…my first thought was Heroine by MAC and then it seemed to change over to Rx by OCC. What can I say? Those two do make an impression.

Right now we have 4 cats and a dog. The dog is a retired racing greyhound named Moe, and the cats are all rescues too: Kai, Maria, Grace, and Wilma. Maria is the newest, and is still figuring out her place in the pack.

    I listen to podcasts while I jog. It’s great because it’s they’re not too distracting from the trail or the sounds of nature, and they’re usually pretty funny so I’m burning extra calories by laughing 🙂

    My favourite cosmetics bag is a large rubbery black one with dark pink piping that came with a lancome bonus. That may even be the reason I invested in it. 🙂

    I love to listen to my metal Pandora station while working out, it’s fast paced and gives me lots of energy! Also…
    the lipstick that comes to mind is one of my faves! MAC’s Sail La Vie lipstick from last years summer collection. I’m still loving it!

    I love playing board games but haven’t found as much time lately as I used to now that I have two kids. My current favorite is Cards Against Humanity when I get a chance with a group.

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).
