Verve is such a cool word, isn’t it?
Verve…
I actually woke up lacking verve today, LOL! Totally lacking verve.
Oh, well. Hopefully the coffee helps me find it.
How’s it going this morning, my friend? What are you up to? I’m sitting here on the couch finishing my first cup of joe and breakfast (a waffle with almond butter and honey drizzled on top, and a side of sliced peaches) and watching The Golden Girls with Tabs.
Well, he’s actually staring out the window at the bird feeder expectantly. There are currently no birds dining at the restaurant.
Did you do anything fun last night? We were going to go see the new X-Men movie but ended up just going to Pasta Pomodoro instead.
Have you been watching True Detectives? I’m not the world’s biggest fan of cop shows, but dang if doesn’t have some amazing acting. Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson and Michelle Monaghan on screen in a TV show at the same time? That’s one heck of a cast.

I wish I knew how to apply false eyelashes! And going to beauty counters or and especially to stores like Ulta I feel like I am way more knowledgeable than people working there. Have a great long weekend Karen, I am going to spend it working, most of the time :-/

I seriously need to figure out strip lashes. I’ve more or less got the hang of applying single lashes, but strip lashes still bamboozle me… :S So difficult!

I wish I knew how to flawlessly put on false lashes. They’re never quite right.
i wish i knew how to drive a manual vehicle
This weekend im having a cookout with my family!
I wish I knew how to convince my fiance to let us get a cat! In the meantime, I’d love to learn how to get an actually great-looking faux tan at home 🙂
Hi karen, hope you are having a great weekend. I do not know how to put on false lashes, lol! But I never use them and don’t really have a desire to.
Going to the zoo this weekend!
Been itching to try something new…here’s to luck ya’ll!
I find when I go into beauty stores (like Ulta, Sephora) and if I can’t find a product I’ve seen online, they often have never heard of it before and aren’t a lot of help. Which always surprises me because I assume they are as make-up obsessed as I am! Whereas with beauty counters in a department store, I’ve never run into that- I guess because they are focused on just one brand.
The last fashion show I went to was when I was in 6th grade and we put on one for charity, lol.

I’ll be working on Memorial Day! Unfortunately nurses in hospitals don’t have the day off 🙁 poo!
I wish I knew how to contour & highlight properly.
I wish I knew how to wing liquid liner well.
I will be working on Memorial Day as it is not a holiday in Canada. We remember our veterans as well as those who we have lost while serving our country on November 11th of each year. That is our special holiday and it is called Remembrance Day. We wear poppies and have a moment of silence as well as many prayers. God bless those who keep us safe and free!
I wish I knew how to play harmonica and apply a liquid eye liner cat eye decently.
I wish I could apply eye shadow like I see on the runway and in the magazines. It never looks good when I do it myself
I wish I knew how to do a winged eyeliner that works well with my eyeshape
For Memorial Day I’m going to a BBQ at my friend’s house. I’m currently debating if I want to wear my Skin79 Hot Pink BB cream or Rimmel Stay Matte Mousse since we’ll be outside and it’s going to be 82 degrees, humid, and sunny.
I wish I knew how to sing!
I’m Canadian. We don’t celebrate Memorial Day. We had the Victoria Day long weekend last week 🙂

My least favorite household chore is folding laundry.

I wish i knew how to ride a bike!
Is this copy old?? True Detective ended months ago– but yes, I LOVED it! 🙂
I really don’t find the Sephora staff at my local store that knowledgeable, so yeah, I’d say I know more than them. They’re terrible with color matching– and that’s if you can even get them to stop talking to each other and help you out. Still my fav beauty store!
I wish I could get winged eyeliner right!
I’m going to the in-laws house for Memorial Day. Low key, but it should be fun.
I find I know more about makeup than all my friends and acquaintances! Not to toot my own horn, but I’m naturally the one they come to when advice is needed. Toot-toot.
My least favorite chore is putting away clothes.
I wish I knew how to do eyeliner. I’m new to makeup, but everything else is so much easier to do. Even mascara wasn’t that much of an issue after the second time! Not too big of a deal, since I look fine without it, but it still would be kind of nice.
I will be spending time in the country with my family. Laughing, talking, and eating!
I wish I knew how to sing. Or draw. It must be amazing to be able to sing beautifully, or just draw something beautiful from scratch.

I wish I knew how to bake–I am a god cook, but the precise nature of baking and pastry making is beyond me
**good cook lol
“god cook” was super funny to read
Household chores…I really hate cleaning anything bathroom related. This weekend I’ll be making my first attempt at changing a shower head, so fingers crossed there!
And fingers crossed for this contest 😀
We learned today that adults must be accompanied by a child in order to enter a LEGOLAND Discovery Center. The policy makes sense, but it sure results in some disappointed childless adults!
I love the Golden Girls!
I’m currently recovering from helping friends move yesterday and the possibility that I have a sinus infection. Hopefully I’ll be recovered soon so I can finish organizing my nail polish stash.
I hate emptying the dishwasher
I wish i knew how to sew, cook, and play the piano. my biggest regret is not being musical….
I wished I knew how to swim!
My boyfriend’s father is a retired air force master sergeant and I always love hearing him tell as his stories! He really gets into it and you feel like you are there and experienced it with him!
I wish I knew how to speak French!
Tips on false lashes would be great! Do they work for everyone? I’ve tried them once, but felt like they were way too long for my eyes!! help!!
I just picked up some prescription antacid capsules, and now I’m going to test foundation at the Clinique counter.
I wish we had a sephora in the UK but now they ship here!!
It is my daughter Rachel’s 22nd birthday on Monday, so we will be celebrating that with family!
I wish I knew and had learned earlier how to sew. It would be so much easier to alter my clothes! Enjoy the good coffee, Karen. 🙂
i would love to have second cup of coffee, there’s a chill in the air and coffee sounds great.
I wish I knew how to knit…I have tried a couple of times to learn on my own but to no avail!
Just have to let you know that your posts in my inbox make me smile daily and a big thank you is in order :)! Totally finding some great sunscreens this year that incorporate tint and that is an awesome thing to have in the heat of Texas! Fingers totally crossed for the giveaway as a Sephora run is a necessary and beautiful thing!
I’m not doing anything for Memorial Day.
Thinking of making a beauty haul at CVS tomorrow!
THANK YOU for always hosting these!
i wish i knew how to use liquid eyeliner without looking like a panda afterwards.

i hate emptying the dishwasher! : )
I wish i knew how to sing, knit, and drive a standard!
I wish i knew how to swim..
Who tells the best stories? KAREN!! Hand down the best story teller on the blogosphere.
Have you ever been to a fashion show? What was it? Yup, twice! And I was walking the ramp both times 😀
Do you ever find that you know more about makeup than the people working at the counter or store? Oh yea.. All the time. and even more so for skincare- their knowledge is very limited.
What are you doing for Memorial Day? Major appliance shopping! 🙂
What’s your least favorite household chore? Every household chore is my least favorite, I sooo wish I could afford to hire a housekeeping service.
i hate when i go to stores and ask them to compare two products, and they sales person reads the box/packaging. thanks but i can do that myself!!!!!!
anyway, usually when going to makeup counters or stores, even in the event i know as much as the sales assistant, i still love getting their point of view or tips on how to use products. i find with makeup there are so many ways to achieve good results, and everybody’s got their own way of doing things. i’m always learning!
Least favorite household chore? Cleaning the house! 🙂
I wish I knew how to snowboard and drive stick
I wish I knew how to crochet!!
I love a clean toilet but I loathe cleaning it!
I wish I knew how to sing!
i’m having a classic memorial day bbq, burgers and hot dogs 😀
i hate washing up!
Best stories? Definitely told by grandparents!
I love shopping at Sephora and would love to get some new eye shadow and mascara.
What’s your least favorite household chore? Laundry! Oh my gosh, the folding is the worst! Which is why i try to hang the majority of my clothing haha xx

I wish I had teleportation powers so that I’d never have to be stuck in a jam, be late for anything and I can travel around the world for free!

Least favorite household chore? Cleaning the bathroom especially the toilet *shudders*
I wish I knew how to ride a bike!
In a deep cleaning mood today. My hubby happily left for the day so that I can attack the house room by room. I did good but I believe I’m losing my mojo, time to call it a night?
No fun stuff. Just endless studying for my boards (actually, not endless, only three weeks left and I’m maybe panicking a little) AND beauty blog breaks! And putting on full makeup to sit in front of a computer because it’s fun 🙂
I wish I knew how to control my beauty addiction… lol JK I love it!
This weekend I finally get to sleep in!
I wouldn’t say I knew more that associates at Sephora/counters, the ones around here are pretty on top of things. I like learning how others approach makeup so I enjoy getting their input. Now Ulta on the other hand not so much :/
I hate vacuuming!
Karen, have you seen Orphan Black yet? It’s sooooo good! It’s in its second season and every week I’m glued to the screen when it’s on.
I really hate it when I can’t figure out which color to paint my toenails. Do I want to paint them a neutral, a bright, or a deep color? It’s so hard being me!
I hate dusting! I’ve collected a lot of vinyl toys and dusting them all in one day take so long.
I wish I knew how to speak more languages!
I actually modeled in a small-time fashion show for a local designer once. That was my first and last encounter with false eyelashes.
I wish I can successfully do winged liner in less than half hour :/
Janelly recently posted … I’m back with a MAC lipstick collection & swatches.
This weekend is my nephew’s first birthday! So tomorrow at this time, I’ll be at his safari-themed birthday party… should be a good excuse to wear some animal prints, right?
I wish I knew how to apply eyeshadow well. It always turns out looking very muddy and makes me look like a clown! Oh well guess I need to practice more!
I wish I knew how to french braid my own hair.
I really wish I could do crisp winged liner!! I suck at winging my eyeliner!
The worst chore is cleaning bathrooms. It’s never ending and seems so thankless.
It’s kinda 1/2 and 1/2 on if people at the makeup counters know more than I do. Usually the only thing I know more about is if the product is cruelty free or not 😛

Scrubbing down the bathroom is definitely my least favourite (as if there’s even a favourite? lol) Thanks for contest!
Would love to win this gift card! Thx for the giveaway!
I wish I knew how to draw a cat eye. I can’t seem to use eyeliner at all!
We are going to the movies and he is going to be grilling.
I have no plans for Memorial Day weekend other than relax and catch up on reading magazines that have piled up.
My younger brother tells the best stories! They are just full of unexpected surprises and always manage to make me laugh 🙂
I wish I knew how to speak in multiple languages. Maybe one day!!!
I wish I knew how to do winged liner!
My least favorite household chore is doing the dishes. I would rather clean a toilet than dirty dishes!

i love experimenting with new palettes
Cleaning the bathroom is my least favorite chore!
I will be on a flight to Japan on Memorial Day. Yay for Japanese makeup!!
I wish I knew how to make *good* nail polish lol.
I wish I knew how to apply eyeliner to make my eyes look good and not any bigger than they already are!
I was on the runway for a fashion show two or three years ago as a model. It was exhilarating 🙂
I wish I knew how to fly a plane! I randomly said this earlier today and my husband laughed at me. I would love to get on a plane and fly anywhere!

I always know more about makeup than the consultants,they are usually clueless.
I dislike vacuuming. Maybe it’s because I know in 2 minutes it’ll look messy again. I don’t mind cleaning toilets or gardening, though!
Sometimes I end up helping people in Sephora when I don’t even work there lmao

I wish I knew how to play the cello! I’ve always wanted to learn!
I wish I knew how to play the piano!
My niece tells the best and funniest stories. After graduating college she got her captain’s license and has worked on private yachts for the past 8 years or so. She just made a major career change and started nursing school last week.
What type of foundation would you recommend for someone with psoriasis and rosacia
I spent all of yesterday in bed hungover. I know I’m an adult because it’s now Sunday and I’m annoyed at myself for wasting a whole day of my weekend
I am spending Memorial Day at home, relaxing and blogging and swatching my guts out (I’m a nail polish blogger). Thanks for these giveaways, it’s very generous of you! Give Tabs a snuggle for me, him and my kitty Asher look a lot alike!
kelliegonzo recently posted … KBShimmer Bath & Body Products Review
I wish I knew how to flawlessly apply liquid eyeliner…
I was reading about MAC unsung heroes, and was surprised to see the Painterly Paint Pot mentioned. Bought that for my pale skin couple hours ago. Looks great and all over lid color under Stormy Pink or (yum) Clearwater.
Kelliegonzo – I adore KBShimmer polishes. Favorite is “Oh Splat”.
I find that I often know more about skincare than the people selling it, but when it comes to makeup, I may know a lot about the products, however the artists are always better at application than me. I love when I get someone willing to take the time to teach me how to use a product.
I wish i knew how to cook for my family but i work full time and go to school full time too take out seems right for me now.
I wish I knew how to apply false lashes
I wish I knew how to sew!

I really wish I knew how to play guitar! How cool would it be to play, sing, and be able to jam a bit?!?!
And I loathe vacuuming. Probably because I have a yellow lab that sheds like crazy. Vacuuming takes about an hour and I feel like I have to do it again as soon as I finish. :-/
Have a great weekend, Karen!!
My great grandmother used to tell the best stories
She was born in 1910 and remembered the ottoman soldiers leaving when WWI ended .
She had a real life romance (her father the wealthy landowner object to her relationship with my great grandfather the poor idealist worker) so he sent her to some family belgium.
Because she was raised by her grandmother she knew a lot about all her uncles and other relatives who were extraordinary . An author writing a book about her uncle interviewed her shortly before she died . I read this book during my grandmother (her daughter) shivaa
I wish I knew how to sew.
I wish to one day visit a Sephora store!
I don’t like washing the dishes.
I wish one of the designers from HGTV would come to my house for a complete overhaul 🙂
I wish I knew how to do special fx makeup! Seems like it holds a lot of opportunities and its just such an interesting skill to have.
I want to go see X-Men too, but it’s just too crowded this weekend!
• I wish i knew how to play the guitar.
• Who tells the best stories? Swoozie on YT! And a teacher I had in college.
• Have you ever been to a fashion show? What was it? I haven’t and I feel like I should at least try to attend the Academy of Art one since I went there.
• Do you ever find that you know more about makeup than the people working at the counter or store? YES! It’s scary, I shouldn’t know more about their products than them.
• What are you doing for Memorial Day? BBQ with husband’s fam.
• What’s your least favorite household chore? Dishes— no! Cleaning the bathroom.
I rarely go into a store like Sephora to buy something without having researched the product and products like it first so sometimes, I feel bad because the people helping at the store start telling me things I already know and I want to correct them or brush them but I usually just nod politely until they stop.
I wish I knew how to play piano. Yep sometimes I find myself know more about makeup than ppl working at the counter/store. No never been to fashion show ever but one of my dreams. On memorial day probably just stay home with my orange tabby since I cant take him to BBQ party. The least favorite household chores would be cleaning bathroom iick!!
I wish I didn’t have sensitive skin!
I really wish I knew how to perfectly fill in my eye brows. I’ve tried loads of products and techniques, but I still have trouble getting them to look even.
I have run into finding out that I know more than those into beauty stores. Sometimes it’s really hard to but products recommended to me when I know many of them don’t know what they think they do. I think I spend way too much time reading blogs, reviews, and products information. Haha.
Yes, sometimes I know more than people on counters or Sephora and it’s quite frustrating because they’re trying to sell me something I know won’t work with me after reading a lot.
We’re having a smallish barbecue with some family and friends for Memorial Day.
I need to read.
I wish I knew how to ride my dirtbike really well on motorcross tracks.
I wish I knew how to fly a helicopter.
I hate cleaning anything and everything *lol* but I do it anyway.
I think the knowing more thing usually happens at Sephora! I get a lot of blank looks when I ask how things compare to each other or when I get more technical (it might just be the Sephora I go to!)
yay!
I wish I was able to apply my winged eyeliner evenly without having to touch it up.
I would love to know how to stop transfer of makeup! I hate how i hugged someone and left a makeup mark on his shirt!! Would love to see your input on that! (Plus I’ve heard to put a setting powder to stop it- but i don’t want to own any setting powders that will give me a flashback! )XOXO
Oooo oooo! I just finished True Detective last week! No spoilers from me ok, its at the top of my list of best tv shows, it’s pretty flawless. Karen, the awesomeness always unfolds with you, u like cool s#%@ and you are rad
Occasionally, I do find that I know more about makeup than the people behind the counter. Usually involving the ingredients, more than anything.
I wish I knew how to knit my own socks! No joke.
I wish I knew how to fix cars & plumbing, but I can’t see making it a priority to learn how any time soon.

I hate cleaning the stove!
I often know more than sales assistants, particularly when it comes to whether their brand is cruelty free or not.
I wish I knew how to do Winged eyeliner properly… >_<
I wish I knew how to read minds! It would make life so much easier!
i wish i knew how to swim!
i actually grew up in a beach town. i am terrified of drowning, but i think part of it has to do with my vision (stay with me here, i’ll explain). i have very poor eyesight; when i swim i can’t wear my glasses or contacts, so i can’t really see anything, which terrifies me.
another point about being from a beach town- memorial day weekend is both wonderful and terrible at the same time. it signifies the beginning of the summer season- which means my favorite kind of weather and the area is more ALIVE…. but it also means lots of traffic, dealing with tourist types, and lots more stress!
I wish i knew how to convince my husband to take me for world tour .. Can’t wait to see the world 🙁
I wish I knew how to sew.
Yes I know a lot more about Makeup than beauty counter workers do!
I am a Freelance PRO MUA and I find if i tell them I am a PRO MUA their attitude changes immediately! and if I don’t I am just an ‘amateur’ and they act stuck up like they know everything haha!
I will be gardening this weekend!
We will have a BBQ party this weekend
Least favorite household chore is putting away clean laundry. So much easier to live out of the laundry basket.
This long weekend, I’m trying to avoid leaving the house as much as possible- too hot!
Are you going to play with the new Givenchy Le Rouge colors that just launched!?
I wish i could figure out how too apply liquid liner… i just can’t do it!
That breakfast sounds delicious!
I’d say most of the time when I go to Sephora, I am more informed than the associates I encounter
like everyone here, i also struggle with falsies! i tend to just load up on mascara instead x
We are getting together as a family for memorial day lunch on Monday. We usually share stories and enjoy the outdoors.
I wish I knew how to fill in my eyebrows. It is hard to get them to be symmetrical.
I wish I knew how to do a cartwheel lol

It’s really strange when you have more product knowledge than the employees in places like Sephora. I expect that I. A drug store but not at that next tier up
My least favorite chore is cleaning the bathroom.
I’m eyeing these UD glitter eyeliners!!
And I currently have a cat sleeping in my lap so I’m stuck here! lol
I’m Canadian so our long weekend was last weekend.
I wish I knew how to ride a horse!
Karen, what is the best way to use MAC face and body foundation? The texture of this foundation is very liquid and different from any other foundation I have used. Thank you.
I was at a fashion show about a week ago. It’s a fashion show for Caribbean designers and they’re slow introducing international designers.
My least favorite chore is ironing…ugh!!!
My least favorite household chore is probably cleaning out my refrigerator. I prefer yard work to house work, any day 🙂
Sadly, I definitely find that I sometimes know more (or small details) about makeup than people at counters.
I wish I knew how to apply eyeliner on my top lid properly. I always end up with the most awkward lines lol.
I hate doing laundry.
I wish i wasn’t so afraid to use liquid eyeliner!
My grandpa told the best stories.
I wish I knew how to snowboard. And make cat eyeliner for deep folded lids.
My least favorite chore is definitely dishes! I hate getting my hands wet, lol
currently on the hunt for the perfect orange lip product, can’t seem to find one that isn’t too pink or on the other side of the spectrum too neon!
I wish I knew how to do that really intense eye makeup that you see on arabic brides. I’ve saved a bunch of pics, now I just need to practice.
More about makeup and what’s new in the world of nail polish / nail tips and pro curly hair products! It’s amazing how often they cherish more than a cute face a dedicated person, who understands and knows to be confidant of the consumer!
I wish I knew how to crochet.
Sometimes yes to the knowing-more-than-the-makeup-store people (I read the blogs and like to do my research), but I just let them do their thing.
I wish I could contour, I always feel like it turns out muddy looking :/
Finally found some great liquid eyeliners and learning to create winged tips.
I wish I knew how to ice skate really well and ski. Have a great weekend!
Such a beautiful weekend! Finally summer has arrived in canada (toronto area natch); which reminded me that I really need a sunscreen as I was totally burnt after the polar vortex deprived us of sun for way too long. Need to research that. Also, shampoo. Is high end really any better? I guess you have to make the plunge to find out…
i love sephora!
Nothing much this weekend! The weather is gross and I haven’t been feeling well so a lot of staying in and watching netflix 🙂
What are you doing for Memorial Day?
Actually, I’m going to see a movie about the Large Hadron Collider with my dad. It’s called Particle Fever! I’m as much of a science junkie as I am a makeup junkie…
I wish I knew how to write with my left hand!
I hate ironing i suck at it worse chore ever
It’s been a glorious Memorial Day so far! Loving this weather!
I hate vacuuming the floor!!
I wish I knew how to whistle!
I would like to know how to play guitar.
Ironically enough, I’ve actually been LIKING the look of over-applied blush lately! Maybe because I’m working up a tan, it looks nice on my skin? I have no idea!
Would love to win!
I wish I knew how to do my hair specifically do a great blow-out the way they do at the salon.
Hi Karen,

Do you ever find that you know more about makeup than the people working at the counter or store?
Let’s just say I was offered a job at a store that shall remain nameless because the girls thought I knew more than they did about their products.
Have a great long weekend!
Do you ever find that you know more about makeup than the people working at the counter or store?
This happened to me yesterday. I asked the SA what finish a particular lipstick had (since there weren’t any testers), and she said “regular lipstick” and then pointed to the balms and said “these ones are more sheer.” :/ heh…
heyy! i just ordered a few things from this cosmetic company called skinn…i was wondering if youve heard of it?!
I hate dusting, I should do it more since the cat hair seems to create scary dust bunnies.
I wish I was better at applying eyeshadow and winged eyeliner.
i wish i knew how to quilt! and my least fave household chore is washing dishes. thanks for these giveaways!
We had a very good weekend, went to some free concerts for the veterans, meets some real nice people, eats some great food
What are you doing for Memorial Day? – I’ll probably lounge by the pool since its my only day off this week 🙂
I’m a big fan of people’s stories in general, but when I saw your question, the first person I thought of was Mike Birbiglia. He’s a stand-up comedian who makes me laugh extra hard. Apparently he got a review once where someone called him “pawkward – pudgy and awkward,” which is awesome in and of itself. His stories tend to be about uncomfortable situations and other pretty mild shenanigans.
I’m heading to the A’s game for Memorial Day! How about you?
it’s 3 AM and i’m working – i would much rather be sleeping!
My least favorite household chore is cleaning the bathroom floor behind the toilet.
I wish I knew how to decorate cakes! I can bake but I can’t decorate!x

I wish I new how to choose the correct plants for my yard. My definition of “correct”…plants that are optimal for my yard’s growing conditions that I can keep alive and growing from one year to the next.
I can decorate cakes with ease, I even run my own business making cakes and cupcakes, but can I do a simple eyeliner flick? No I cannot!
I don’t mind doing laundry at all… but I’d rather do ANYTHING than wash the dishes!!
I’ve been to the fashion show. It’s wonderful. All the fabric, style as well as model are great.
We will be cooking on memorial day which is today!
I lost count of how many times the salesperson just tells me what is written in the packaging, really? I know how to read! Most of the time I end up searching on the internet for more info. Makeup counter workers are trained in sales, not product knowledge. Sometimes they “make stuff up” cause they have limited experience of what they do know.
hello my dear… I am happy today 🙂
hope you are well
My least favorite household chore is definitely cleaning the sink/floor.
Least favorite chore is vacuuming the stairs. The vacuum I have is so heavy and cumbersome-great for the rest of the house, but not stairs.
I hope you’re all having a wonderful Memorial Day, relaxing and trying on new make up! As I dont live in the US, I using boring old make up and stuck in an office for the entire day.
I wish it were still the weekend! It’s not a holiday where I am. We had our holiday Monday last week!
Hi! Since I’m lacking verve right now & I’m drinking coffee to get my verve on, I’ll be going to the pool in a couple of hours. Those are my big Memorial Day plans. lol Thanks for being your funny self!!
I wish I knew how to sleep better. And I can’t stand doing the dishes.
my dad tells the best stories
I wish I can apply false eyelashes 🙂
I wish i knew how to order my favourite make up, up here in the Netherlands…
Sometimes I do feel like I know more about makeup than the girls working at the counter or store when they color match my foundation wrong!
I usually find that I know more about cosmetics than half of the people that actually work some of the cosmetics counters. It’s kind of funny but sad at the same time lol
Karen! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend! My friends wanted to see X-Men also. I feel like it’ll be a good DVD rental. Movies are so expensive, so I want it to be a good one. I’d rather watch The Neighbors. LoL.
Happy Memorial DAy!
I’m obsessed with my Naked 2 palette! And hi Karen. 🙂
I’m really loving the Camera Ready Cosmetics sponge as a cheaper alternative to the Beauty Blender.
I wish I knew how to properly do my eyebrows. I keep trying, but there’s still a lot of room for improvement.
my least favorite household chore is cleaning the toilet. i live with a bunch of guys/enough said.
There have definitely been times I’ve known more than the makeup counter staff.
I’m sick for Memorial Day . . . it sucks. But the house needs cleaning, so I’m still cleaning it, too. Wee.
Least favourite chore is cleaning the washroom. yuck!
I wish i knew how to put on false eyelashes!
Today I’m relaxing with my kids and husband on this Summery Memorial day 🙂
I need to stop baking cookies! I’ve made 3 batches and am thinking of making another. At least I give them away and don’t eat them all….
I wish I had time to sew, getting ready to move is both good and bad.
I am actually spending my Memorial Day at the office! BOO. I have too much on my plate and too little time to get it done…
I am working today-Memorial Day
Offical Make-up Junkie =)
$50 gift card will be well spent ~
Thank you !

For Memorial Day I’m just sitting around the house and reading. 🙂
I’d like to learn to kick box, I think it’d be fun.
I wish I knew how to play the piano.
I dont put on a lot of makeup but I want to learn to put on the smokey eyes
I love the cat things around your blog, they are so cute!
I hate cleaning the bathroom.
I wish I knew more about aging beauty. All my HG are kinda out the window now that in 45. I’m having all new needs I have no idea what I’m doing!
Least favorite chore..,taking out the trash!
I love makeup
For Memorial Day, I hung out with my friends at a barbecue potluck! After stuffing ourselves full, I sang along to my friend’s piano playing.
I wish I knew how to apply falsies
I wish I knew how to sew!
I have been to more than one fashion show. The last one was probably the most meaningful for me because it was the graduation/final show for my friend that was graduating from college with a degree in fashion design. It was great to go and support her and see all of her hard work come to fruition.
Vacuuming is my least favourite chore
My least favorite chore is doing laundry! It’s so deceptively simple…until you have to fold mountains of clean clothes!
I wish I knew how to sing well! It would be so much fun to just burst out and sing and not sound ridiculous 🙂
I tell the best stories. the kids love them
Thanks for the giveaway!
Memorial Day on the beach! Sun surf and lots of good friends.
My least favourite household chore is… doing the dishes! Why? Because it always chips my nails 🙁
