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.

  4. My plans this weekend revolve around watching the French Open finals. I love me some Djokovic!
    I also enjoy contouring. I have a chubby face, and it makes a world of difference. I’m not great at making it look natural yet, but it is wonderful.

    Reply

  5. 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!

  10. My vegetable plants aren’t doing so well either. I may have to go shove some carrots in the ground some night after bedtime so that my little boy isn’t so disappointed!

  15. The most exhilarating thing I’ve done is hike to the peak of Mount Woodson (Potato Chip Rock) in Poway, CA! I’ve got a fear of heights, so it took every ounce of courage in me to get onto that ledge!

  19. I highlight sometimes, but I have yet to find a contour product and application method that does no look completely unnatural.

  23. I wish my job had a more lenient makeup policy *sigh* we can’t look like we’re wearing makeup which is annoying bc I end up looking like im 12…

  26. 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!

  42. I love to highlight and contour! It is part of my daily makeup routine. I use Too Faced Chocolate soileil to contour, and I have a number of favorite powder highlights to finish. Much of my highlighting is done with whatever luminizing highlighter pen I have laying around!

    Reply

  43. I occasionally highlight but contouring scares me. The only reason I even own bronzer is from subscription boxes.

    Reply

  45. The most exhilarating thing I’ve probably ever done is rock climbing a night. I was terrified while doing it, but it must have released tons of good neurochemicals, because I felt great afterwards!

  46. So excited for my sister to come to live with me on the east coast. She’s moving from San Francisco this week! We just moved from the Bay Area last year. Barely surviving, but will be a lot more tolerable with my sis here! Would love to win and go shop with my sis when she gets here Thursday!
    Thank you

  51. Speaking of gardening, this weekend, meaning later today, Jeff and I are heading to Home Depot to buy the materials for the big fence he’s going to build around my garden to stop the critters from eating all the veggies I’m trying to grow. 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

    • Hi Allison,

      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.

  58. No plans this weekend which makes me very happy!! Love lazy weekends, do have a little work to do but I normally do every weekend.

    I do not know how to properly highlight/ contour but it is always something I have wanted to learn!

  67. For years I’ve wanted a “zen” space in the far corner of my backyard. This week, I found the perfect teak bench and little end table. 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!

    Reply

  71. I highlight every day. I usually do it on my cheekbones, brow bone, and in the corner of my eye. It’s really simple, but it makes me look so awake and fresh. I usually only contour if I’m feeling fancy (or pale).

    Reply

  75. I’m in Atlanta this weekend. Plans include The World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium with my (almost) 8 year old. We both love staying in hotels!

    Reply

  80. I will lightly highlight and contour for special occasions or if I’m going out on the weekend, but I definitely don’t have time in the morning to do it on a daily basis!

    Reply

  84. Yes always to chocolate milk! I’m a personal trainer and it’s a great post-workout recovery drink. Oh, and it’s delicious, of course 🙂

    Reply

  88. I highlight and contour ALWAYS…but I live in southwest Florida so I’m always supposed to look like a sun goddess, right? In the fall and winter I will use only matte bronzed though. But it’s summer now and the glitter. Is. On. 🙂

    Reply

  90. No big plans this weekend for us, just some relaxing in the – finally – nice mid 80’s weather. A big YES to chocolate milk.

  93. I don’t really have any gardening tips, unfortunately…I tend to kill my plants (by accident, of course)!

  107. Chocolate milk is an absolute yes, at any time. First rule of chocolate milk? Always say yes to chocolate milk. On a completely different note, i wish that I could manage to keep a plant alive-I am an unintentional plant murderer, unfortunately.

    Reply

  110. I love to use Rms Living Luminizer as a natural lit from within highlighter. I seem to have lost it at a hotel last week. I love it so much i think I’ll have to splurge and get another one!

    Reply

  111. 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.

    Reply

  112. I have been LOVING highlighting and contouring lately! And yes to chocolate milk…but only if it’s almond milk 🙂
    Thanks for this generous giveaway, Karen! Have a great weekend, and God Bless!

  113. “Your #1 gardening tip?”
    I’m shocked, SHOCKED, that the plants I planted in March actually grew. No tips here, just pure amazement that I didn’t actually kill them!

    Reply

  115. This weekend I’m going to finish putting together a sketchbook and send it off to the printers. My friend’s mom is in town and I’m going to do karaoke with them and it’s going to be both terrible and amazing.

    When my cat was chewing cords I gave him a treat that’s kind of a chewy stick thing from the pet store, he likes chewing on that better and leaves my cords a lone, might help with the plant chewing.

    Reply

  117. Yes to chocolate milk. No to highlighting, just because I’m not comfortable with it yet, but I have started trying out contouring.

    Reply

  118. I highlight and contour everyday with my make up. My face doesn’t feel complete without it!

    Reply

  119. Chocolate milk – definite yes! Especially the kind you get in little cartons at Starbucks… yum! Perfect with a little bit of Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzing powder contouring. 😀

    Reply

  122. I’m trying to find a good highlighter/illuminator. I fell in love with Benefit’s High Beam, but my wallet did not, so I am in need of a dupe. I have my eye on NYX’s illuminator right now.

    Reply

  126. Chocolate milk: yes, yes, and more yes. Especially if it’s the kind in the glass bottle. Much like Coca-Cola, it just tastes better.

    Reply

  127. 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!

  131. I just came home from two hours at the vet – it looks like my little guy has a back injury. I just hope it heals quickly.

    Reply

  135. I don’t contour or highlight because of not having the time and with a very round face and mild rosacea…I think it would be an exercise in futility.

    Otherwise I LOVE chocolate milk!

  136. My plans this weekend involve learning to drive. ACHH. At least I don’t have mandatory driving classes like minors do. Oh, Public Transport. Why are you not as available here in the States as you are abroad?

  145. Chocolate milk Yes, but needs to be dark chocolate or it must have
    allot of chocolate on it, I don’t like the taste of milk and more if its fresh.
    My best warm chocolate milk I have ever had come from a coffee machine they had In a a school where I was making my internship as teacher.
    I love warm and cold chocolate milk, But like I said it has to be thick and have allot of chocolate milk on it 🙂

  158. Love the new hair you posted about a few entries ago, Karen, it looks super good on you! 🙂

    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. 🙂

  174. My #1 gardening tip? Location, location, location. A plant may thrive in one spot and wither & die in another. Just one end of your deck to the other could make all the difference! Experiment.

  178. Try a nitrogen rich fertilizer on the tomato plant, that could help. If it is one of the different wilt diseases though, you will just have to ditch the plant. Also, heck yeah to chocolate milk!

    Reply

  186. I don’t do highlighting nor contouring because I have some acne marks right where these would be located, cheeks and chin….and there’s no point in only contouring my forehead and nose(especially the nose cause I always touch up with foundation there, so I would easily erase the effect.

  190. I do highlight but I’m embarrassed to admit I don’t contour! I’m kind of scared to be honest lmao.

  221. 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…

  226. My gardening tip is really simple but also really green! My shower takes awhile for the water to heat up, so while I’m waiting for the water to warm up, I collect the cold water and use it to water my plants. My plants get watered every day, no water’s wasted, and my shower is nice and hot!

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!

    After seeing the pictures you posted of Petaluma, I’m pretty sure we’re going to have to hit up the Seed Bank the next time we’re in that neck of the woods!

I’m not a caffeine drinker and have still retained my childhood habit of a glass of milk every morning, with something chocolaty like ovaltine 😛 I’m very much into highlighting and contouring. I use Hourglass ambient powders for highlighting and NARS for contouring although have to get my hands on the NARS contouring blush duos. And plz wish Tabs a very very happy birthday from me! I hope she has one hell of a meowwww time! Maybe she will bring me luck and the Sephora card on her special day 😉

  311. I just started a bit of contouring a couple of months ago; it’s fun to do except when I accidentally overdo and have to start over.

  324. 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. 🙂

  326. 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.

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

  342. 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.

  343. A very happy birthday to Tabs from myself and my kitty Prince Jacko Boy von Pufferpants Plumey le Matou!

    “What’s the most exhilarating thing you’ve ever done?”

    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! 🙂

  345. 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 😉
