7 Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card From Sephora! (Ends Monday)

7 Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card From Sephora! (Ends Monday)

beefsteak“Oh, my head…” said the big beefsteak tomato plant, “I feel like crap this morning.” Many of its leaves were yellow and speckled brown.

“You big baby!” chortled one of the roma tomato plants nearby. “You don’t even have a head!”

“I don’t?” said the beefsteak plant, genuinely surprised. “Are you sure?”

“Of course I’m sure,” answered the roma plant. “You’re just a stupid plant. I, on the other hand, am sophisticated and wise.”

“Oh…” said the beefsteak. “Do you know why I feel so bad?”

The beefsteak wasn’t doing well. Unlike the roma, who lived in a large wooden planter box with excellent drainage, the beefsteak lived in a large 18-inch plastic pot with a single small hole at the base for drainage. The pot sat flush on the wooden slats of the deck, lacking clearance beneath the pot for ventilation and drainage. Its soil was damp to the touch, even though the last watering was yesterday morning. Mushrooms sprouted up from the soil around the tomato’s stalk.

Roma“You drank too much last night, you big goof!” said the roma, whose soil was cool and dry. Multiple large drainage holes were cut into the base of its wooden container.

“I did?” replied the beefsteak, confused. “I don’t… Oh, yeah! I remember now. Duuude, last night was off the chain! I drank all night.”

“Idiot,” interrupted the roma.

“What time did I get home?” asked the beefsteak.

The roma paused. “What time did you get home?” it asked. “Seriously? Are you really that dense? You never even left the deck. You just sat there drinking water the whole time.”

“I did?” said the beefsteak. “Whoa! Huh-huh… It must have been one hell of a night!”


LOL! That was fun… 🙂 Good morning, glory! Rise and shine, my friend. It’s going to be a beautiful day. This little story actually has some truth to it because I think I am overwatering my plants. A couple of the tomatoes aren’t doing too well, and one of the potted lavender plants.

They all like different amounts of water, so it’s a work in progress. I’m still trying to figure it out. Plus, if you’re a plant, Tabs isn’t the easiest co-gardener to work with. He bites…plants.

I’m just getting started with my day, having my first cup of coffee and fiddling around. I hope your weekend gets off to a great start.

One of my coworkers (yes, I’m referring to Tabs) is having a birthday on Monday, so we’ll probably do something fun.

Talk to you soon. Good luck in the giveaway.

    Aw, poor beefsteak tomato plant! I have given up on plants. I had a money tree when I first moved in with The Man, in 2010. It soon died, probably from root rot 🙁 I bought a Peace Lily a few months ago, because I read it’s good with cleansing the bathroom air.

    I left for a week, and I came back to a wilted plant. 🙁 So I have given up.

    Plants are wonderful, but I find that gnats always gravitate to the plants. booooo.

    I will probably invest in more air purifiers. 🙁 I wish I could take care of plants as well as my parents. *sigh*

    HAve a lovely weekend, Karen!

    What are your plans for this weekend?
    Karen will do some reviews for for the blog, do some cleaning in my accounting office, caring for a dog that passes here, play with my fluffy cat
    I will also do some work that I have pending, I think I will not leave the house after just gonna relax.

    The # 1 gardening tip? I love gardening, alias you gave me a great idea, I cut the dried leaves of the tree of the garden.

    What is the most exciting thing you’ve ever done?
    I think it was down a super high slide at the water park I went with my mother, and she did not want me to come down, then I went and she was hidden down there calling me to get down.

    Favorite talk show? Danilo Gentilli Sbt

    I am very proud to make my parents happy with my work

    You do not highlighting and / or contour with your makeup? I love makeup, and not do contour (still do not know) I play on more bases in the face of spending my favorite is the hourglass illusion.

    Milk Chocolate: yes or no? Yes I love chocolate!

The rabbits ate all the kale that came back from last year down to the stalk, except the left the Russian kale. I guess they didn’t like the taste of that one, and I don’t either! Great giveaway

      I hope the critter fence works! We have lots of varmints here too. Every time we try to plant anything tasty in our actual outside landscape area it’s toast within days. All of our tomatoes and things are on our deck because it’s the only place the burrowing buggers can’t reach!

      Good luck and have a great weekend.

They’re set behind a bed of lilies and hostas, underneath an old pine tree. I nestled a little ceramic bird bath in between the tree roots, and decorated around that with some smooth river stones. It’s such a sweet little refuge now!

    I do “cheater” contouring. I don’t go all out with lighter and darker foundation, but I use bronzer to add depth to my cheeks, forehead and jawline. Then blush above the bronzer, and a little luminizing powder on the top of my cheekbones.

    I highlight on a daily basis. It’s just a little something that helps me look more awake and gives some vibrance to my skin. I really dig Nars Illuminator in Orgasm. I received a sample of it the last time in Sephora and it is absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, I’m a broke college student and I can’t afford to dish out $30 to buy a full size. Hopefully I’m able to win this gift card so I can make up the cost!

    No gardening tips to pass on but I totally get it. Tried my hand at gardening for the first time ever and it went super well. Waiting for my tomatoes to ripen is killer, might’ve botched transplanting my peppers but that’s okay, and my cilantro and peas are shooting up like no one’s business. Finagling the watering process is rough especially since I have the moisture retentive type of soil in my pots right now so I’m still getting the hang of it. Good luck to you on your plants too, I hope your tomato plant fares better soon. 🙂

    I always highlight and use bronzer. But I usually just use bronzer to subtly warm up my face, to give it a natural glow. I hardly ever use bronzer to contour, except for maybe on occasion, like a special day like date night or a girls night out…

We all drove up to Santa Rosa today, and had lunch with some more extended family for a mini-reunion at a Chinese buffet. We sat around eating and story-telling for about 3 or 4 hours. My mom and I also hit up a nursery on the way home, and I bought myself a calico monkey flower on a whim. Pretty dang adorable!

    I pretty much always do a least a touch of contouring under my cheekbones (Too Faced Milk Chocolate, yum!). If I’m getting fancy, like I did this weekend for my BF’s birthday dinner, I’ll contour my nose and highlight my upper cheekbones. 🙂

    I’m really starting to get into contouring because I LOVE the chiseled effect it gives me. At first, it just made me look like i have a dirt spot on my face, but I’m getting better at applying the bronzer so that it’s actually doing something loool.

    Most exhilarating thing I’ve done? Horseback riding in the ocean in Jamaica. It felt like flying when my horse started to run.:-D

    I LOVE highlighting and contouring. I do it pretty much whenever I know that I want to look extra special.

    I love contouring and highlighting! I think everyone should learn how to do it.

    Wanna know something weird? Chocolate milk reminds me of childhood vacations at the beach.

    I wish I knew how to highlight/contour but i am pretty much clueless about makeup so it’s on the ‘to learn’ list!

    as for the weekend, I just kept it low key as i was recovering from the flu. c’est la vie.

    Hmm… I’d have to say that the current most exhilarating thing I’ve ever done is finally start applying to casting calls for acting and modeling – and I have a modeling audition tomorrow night! 🙂

    Those NARS eyeshadows! I’m super excited about them. I know wetting eyeshadows to make them more vibrant isn’t a new concept but still I love the colors 😉

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).
