“Please, nice lady,” said the terrified cup of coffee. “Please don’t drink me.”
“Why not!?” barked the groggy, bleary-eyed beauty blogger as she ambled toward the carton of almond milk on the counter. “You’re mine! And I need you!”
“But…” pleaded the cup, “if you drink me, I’ll disappear, and I don’t want to disappear.”
The beauty blogger’s left eye twitched uncontrollably, and her hands were twisted into claws. “Bah! I don’t care! I’m not awake yet and I need my coffee!” Clumsily, she dumped the milk-like liquid into the cup, filling it close to the brim.
“Grgglrgl!” the cup cried. “I can’t swim!”
“Oh, shut-up!” the blogger screamed. “Just shut-up already!”
OK, that was dumb.
SO dumb.
LOL! But I am really that tired right now, and I have no sympathy whatsoever for the coffee I am about to consume, bwahahahahahaaa! 🙂
Hi, babe. How’s it going this morning? What did you do last night?
I made pasta for din-din and watched some PBS specials on Netflix, one about Chatsworth, which is the palatial house where Downtown Abbey takes place, and the second one was about Selfridges, the department store in London (founded by an American, who knew?). And then I watched the first half of Titanic again (because we all know what happens in the second half).
Sometimes TV is the world’s greatest cure for a frazzled mind, ya know? There are times when I literally need for my brain to be turned into mush.
In other news, I’m counting down the seconds till tomorrow because I’m heading into the city to meet my two girlfriends for the day, and I haven’t seen them in a while.
So that’ll be fun.
I hope you have a great weekend lined up. I’ll be around, as usual, so I’ll talk to you soon.

Watermelon!
WATERMELON!
Coffee? Yes, please. I am on my 2/3 day when I have to start work at 4:30 am so I am sipping on my 4th cup of coffee already…It’s going to be a long day. But after work I am going to the mall to get rewarded, lol. I want to get a skirt that I really like and I should have bought it right away and, needless to say, I am going to browse the gorgeous aisles of Sephora. Tomorrow sounds like fun for you, what are you going to do with your girlfriends?

I take my coffee all black! No sugar or anything. I guess I’m just bitter. Lol.
the weekends are my fave!
I have never been anywhere out of the country!
I love coffee! Black, strong, brazilian way! Love!
I take my coffee black. I started drinking coffee when I was around 20. My mom said in Asia even kids drink coffee at an early age, which I find weird, but now I love coffee.
I have been to London, I go about once a year for work. I love to travel and be somewhere new!
Happy Saturday! I take my coffee black. Occasionally I treat myself to some almond milk in it. Have a fab weekend. x

Funny you should mention coffee, I’ve actually been on a caffeine binge lately – 4 cups of coffee in the last 24 hours! Right now I’m loving Starbucks French Roast with just a splash of cream.

A movie that scared you as a child?
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory….oh man, that movie terrified me…I had nightmares of oompha loomphas for years. I watched up until that girl turned into a blueberry and that was it for me.
I usually use two or three eyeshadows at a time.
My favorite summer fruits are definitely peaches and watermelon! The peaches in the stores have been really good this season, so I’ve been buying peaches in bulk from Costco! 🙂
I take my coffee black with sugar. But from Starbucks…a latte with soy!
no coffee for me, tea please!
I usually only wear two eyeshadows at a time.
not to be a bummer, but I need to tell someone – we just put my dog to sleep. she was 15. it was for the best; she was in a lot of pain. I usually love the weekend, but right now I feel weird and sad and empty
I totally just want to stay inside and eat hummus all day today.
I’m in Miami, so I like my coffee Cuban-style, either as a cafecito (sweet espresso) or cortadito (cafeccito with a bit of milk added). Add a guava pastelito, and I’m ready for the day!
I’m loving all the plums in season right now! So fragrant and delicious.
I could seriously use some amazing new makeup! Love the blog, glad I stopped by! 🙂
I generally like my coffee super super light but only a little bit of sugar. I’ve never been a huge fan of coffee but sometimes I just need that pick me up
I need a day at the beach, really bad! Next weekend we’ll be in your neck of the woods Karen, up in San Francisco…can’t wait!
I have not yet been to London, but want to go with my youngest daughter.
In the summer, my fridge is stuffed with raspberries and cherries. Can’t get enough of them.
I have got THE biggest sephora wishlist right now 🙂
Never been to London but would love to go one day!
Fav summer fruit HAS to be cherries mmm
That Laura Mercier fall collection looks beautiful! I’ve never tried anything from Laura Mercier before, but once this collection comes out I may need to give it a try!
hi Karen! Since I’m Italian I usually drink espresso. I like it only without sugar, sometimes I add a little bit of milk (caffe’ macchiato)! 😉
I take my coffee in the mornings, always at home, always with milk and sweetened with stevia !
Most days I wear 3 eyeshadows. If I’m really in a hurry or lazy I wear two. And if I’m going for a full look usually 5!
i was scared of everything as a kid 😛 that part with the wolf in the neverending story, some episodes of Rugrats, you name it 😛
On average I wear about 5-6 eye shadows, that’s including the transition/blending color and the highlight. Sometimes more, sometimes less, well I guess that was self explanatory because you said ‘average’. argh lol
LONDON is my #1 bucket list city to visit & has been since i was about 10 or 12 years old!! someday i WILL get there!
I take my coffee very creamy and sugary, or (in my boyfriend’s words) “sweet, coffee-flavored milk!”
How do you take your coffee? 1/2 cup lactose free milk, 1/2 cup coffee with one splenda and a drop of good vanilla
What’s your favorite summer fruit.. Peaches so ripe and juicy!
Berries, cherries, and watermelon, oh my! 🙂
I wear 3-4 different eye shadows at a time, on average.
My favourite summer fruit is watermelon….. I can honestly eat an entire melon to myself and still not be satisfied! But they are sooooo good!
As for coffee – just started drinking mine black with cinnamon…it completely takes away the bitterness so you don’t need sugar!
I love my coffee, iced with flavored creamers 🙂
My parents let me watch Cujo and The Birds when I was very young so no movie scares me!
My favorite summer fruits, if I can narrow them down, are peaches,cherries, watermelon and mangoes.
My favorite summer fruits are grapes and strawberries!!
I like my coffee with a bit of sugar and cream/ milk/or soy. I’m not very picky. But i love it best when my coffee or latte is has a bit of spice like pumpkin spice, ginger, or cinnamon
I’m not a coffee drinker.
I like my coffee with milk and sugar.
I was terrified by Jaws as a kid, and I still am!!
If I drink coffee or tea any other way but straight, Im usually going to make it the Bullletproof way – blended with grassfed butter and MCT oil and either liquid stevia or hardwood-based Xylitol to sweeten. It counts as a meal.
I’ve been to London and I loved it. Such great markets.
I love my coffee with international delight sweet cream!!
I’ve been enjoying my coffee with coconut creamer. It’s a little bit indulgent, but sometimes a girl needs that! 🙂
I love trying coffee different ways, but I always have soy milk.
I love watermelon!
Yes, I went to London two years ago
The coffee conversation took me back to my days working as an intern (just last year, but it feels like an eternity ago). I really needed that coffee boost to tide me over until lunch… I very much sympathise with you.
My brother is living in London at the moment so this last year, I’ve been there 2 times and while I like visiting London, I wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to live there.
I can’t remember a specific movie, but Frollo (from the Hunchback of Notre Dame) scared the hell out of me. Another horrifying Disney moment was when the boy in Pinocchio was turned into a donkey. Pretty much scarred me for life.
Thanks for the giveaway! Adore your blog 🙂

I take my milk with very little sugar but with lots of milk 🙂
Like a latte 😀
I’m not a regular caffeine drinker but do enjoy coffee beverages 🙂 My favorite summer fruits are mangos and watermelon. I love mixing colors and gradients of colors when wearing eyeshadow so on average I’d say I use at least 3-4 shades. Happy Summer everyone!
I have my coffee with milk, 2 truvia and 1 splenda. 🙂
blueberries straight off the bushes in my yard they are so much better than the ones you get at the store
My baby starts daycare this coming week 🙁
I use maybe 3 or so shadows at a time. Depends on how lazy/motivated I am that morning.
I usually wear four or five eye shadows at a time!
I take my coffee with 2 cream 2 sugar!
I’ve never been to London, or anywhere in Europe, but it’s on my dream list of places to visit someday.
Cherries & pineapple!
I usually wear about two-three eyeshadows at a time. And my fav summer fruit is pineapple.
My favorite fruit during the summer are the same as yours – cherries, watermelon and peaches. I always look forward to summer months and I miss them once they are gone.
I was terrified of that one scene in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. We all know which scene.
Black and bitter, like my soul…
Ooh, peaches! I miss summer fruit (southern hemisphere). But I’m going to California next week! San Francisco, mostly. Mega excited!! 😀
I usually wear three eyeshadows at a time. I’d really like to try the Laura Mercier – they look lovely!
Have never been to London but it’s on my bucket list!
My favorite fruit is watermelon. I love having it with avocado and goat cheese with a lil olive oil and balsamic vinegar!
i like my coffee with stevia and soy milk
Iced Coffee- half decaf, skim milk, 3 equal. Right now I’m obsessed with the Dunkin Donuts cookie dough flavor – so yummy!!
4 eye shadows. Kona coffee one sugar, lots of milk or cream, please.
A movie that scared me as a child was definitely Chucky. The doll that went around and killing people definitely was not something I should have watched as a kid LOL
I actually have been to London. It was years ago when my sister was a nanny for a family there for a year. The only bad thing about it was that I had just broken up with my first real boyfriend and I feel like I was in a daze the whole time. Hubby and I have been binge-watching Sherlock and it is really motivating us to want to go together sometime.

Watermelons signify summer to me!
My fav summer fruit is pineapple! Thx for giveaway!
Black coffee or irish! And watermelon all the way haha
I like my coffee – cappuccino, extra hot, 2 sugars 🙂
I LOVE ripe nectarines or watermelon in the summer. 🙂
I have never been to London.
We watched part of a recorded episode of Behind the Seams which is basically baseball documentary. We’ve got just about no TV recording these days and an alignment issue with our DirecTV dish anyway. The baby only allows us to watch 1 hour of TV per day after he goes to bed anyway, so it all works out. But currently that’s been Halt and Catch Fire and it’s gotten cut off mid-recording two episodes in a row (due to the alignment problem, ack). Anyway. The baseball stuff is interesting but not high on my list of Friday night viewing. ;D
I love London – especially the Indian food 🙂
So funny, I love horror movies and they didn’t even scare me as a child, but the movie that did scare me was Summer School – I was terrified of the part where they tried to scare the teacher by putting blood and gore all over themselves LOL. Everyone always thinks I’m ridiculous when I tell them that!

Pennywise in the movie “It” scared the living sheets out of me when I was a child. Still don’t like clowns to this day. 😛

The best use of summer fruit are Watermelon aqua frescas!
I take my coffee depending on availability. Sometimes black w sugar, sometimes flavoured cream and sometimes iced.
I like wearing 3 eyeshadow colors at once, to make a cool rare look! 🙂

I haven’t been in London and haven’t seen the newest season of British sci-fi series Doctor Who and Sherlock. Good for the mood and mind. Wish you wonderful day :.
I probably am usually wearing about five, ranging from light inner lid to a dark liner shade.
I love my coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts. Hot, flavored with Cinnamon & French Vanilla, and with regular cream and sugar.
Peaches!
I take my coffee with lots of sugar and cream!
I don’t drip coffee! Make me too hyper x
Summer Fruit: Cherry!!
I’m on vaca this week, yippee!!! It’s been an entire year since my last week off and I feel kinda, almost lost with being home. I feel like I have to or at least should be doing something productive! I’m sure by tomorrow these feelings will pass. Anyway, we’ve had beautiful weather the last few week and I haven’t been to the beach at all this summer. And wouldn’t you know it, because I’m off, on vaca and they are calling for RAIN on Mon, Tues and Wed!!! Why just why?? I guess I’ll have to wait and see what the weather is really going to be, hopefully the weatherman is wrong! I mean c’mon where can you work and get the facts of your job right 50% of the time and still have a job the next day??? I should probably start my please don’t rain dance!!
the least meal I prepared was Gardein Vegetarian Mandarin Chicken from Costco and WOW I really hope they carry it in the Costco nearest to wear I’m moving because it’s super tasty and handy to have around.
I love iced coffee with soy milk
The last meal I made was Penne A La Vodka and Caprese Salad! Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

I last visited london in summer 1995. I would love to go back
I don’t drink coffee!
Nectarines are my favorite summer fruit. As for eyeshadow, I think that I have been known to have a 2 shadow (+ primer + liner) day, but it’s often 3.
Watermelon is by far my favorite summer fruit.
I love coffee in any form. Ice cream, black, lots of cream and sugar, I like them all!
Generally I wear 3-5 eyeshadows. My favorite new one is the Josie Maran Coconet Water shadow in Playa del pink. Have you tried them, they’re amazing!
I usually wear 2-3 eyeshadows, most often Smashbox Photo Op.
I like a little coffee with my cream and sugar.
I don’t drink coffee. Love the smell, hate the taste, plus it smells awful on people’s breath urgh.
My favourite summer fruit is cherries. And mango. Chicken and mango salad mmm mmm I wish it were summer now!
I’d always wear three eyeshadows. Sometimes four.
The last meal I prepared was a Weight Watchers version of pork tikka masala. It was YUMMMMM!
I have been to London. Twice. 1986 and 1997. Time I went back I think.
The movie Duel, the Steven Spielberg one about the big truck chasing a man driving a car, scared the hell out of me when I was a child and I still feel sick if I think about it. I just looked it up, it was made in 1971 and I must have seen it on TV when I was under 10 so I probably saw it almost 40 years ago. *Shivers*
I had to answer all of them because the last few weeks I haven’t been able to answer any 🙂
I’ve been drinking iced coffee with what’s left in the pot and putting it with the International Delight Almond Joy creamer. Soooo good.
I’m going on vacation the week after this. It’s going to be a loooong week >_<
The Exorcist — STILL SCARES ME! Ooooh girl naw! And I’ve only been to london when I spent the night in a hotel at the Gatwick airport — I said I was from Texas and my cabbie said “oh, Cowboys” – which is very offensive to me since I am from HOUSTON! lol
Have you ever been to London? yes, sadly for only 2 days. I need to go back, it was definitely not enough time!
Yes, I have been to London! I studied abroad two hours south of London so I visited London quite often. 🙂 Hope you’re having a great wkend!
coffee.. currently 1 spoonful of french vanilla powdered creamer, 3 spoonfuls of caramel latte powdered creamer, and 2 spoonfuls of agave. yesihaveasweettooth.
I drink no coffee…
So hard to choose a favorite fruit! I love them all! For my top 3 favorites for summer fruit would have to be strawberries, peaches, and watermelons!! MMMmmmm!!!
I have days like that too – Monday is the worst though since I would not have drank a cup of coffee on weekend by that point and getting headache due to withdrawal (I’m a coffee addict I know) 🙁 Browsing the blog definitely make me feel a bit better =P
I’m a spoonful of raw sugar and medium-light mud half & half girl. Every once in awhile I’ll make my own flavored creamers with milk and heavy whipping cream. My favorite is pumpkin spice which actually contains pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Yummy!!!
Reading a number of British beauty bloggers, I was just thinking how badly I want to go back to London. I had an amazing vacation there – the restaurants, museums, theater… We also took a few days and drove to the Cotswolds – so beautiful – and stayed at these amazing b&bs .where they would serve you homemade English breakfasts on fine china. Now that I think of it, it was a bit Downtown Abbey-esque feeling. Not quite but you get my point I hope. 😉
I love eye shadow. Always at least one, often four shades. Five if I’m feeling really fancy!
Damn. That green eyeshadow looks beautiful!
omg the laura mercier collection looks sooo pretty, i love the textures!!
p.s. do you happen to know a dupe for stila’s magnificent foil in comex?? i’ve been searching!!
On an average I wear 2 eyeshadows at a time. More if I am doing a fancy eye, less if I’m in a hurry or feeling blah!
So, this past mother’s day my husband got me a $75 gift card to Sephora. It got misplaced or thrown away… any way, it’s still nowhere to be found. I still die a little inside when I think about it.
hiii! TV does help a frazzled mind. haha i’m not a coffee drinker but I do love me some tea <3 I'm so happy to have two days off! gotta catch up on reading blogs. 🙂 Have a great day!
I average two eyeshadows
I spent a summer in London during college, and it was the best experience ever. So glad I did it! I still keep in touch with some of the people I met.
Hi! I make a pot of espresso at night and put it in the refrigerator. Then, in the morning I add French vanilla creamer and sweetener & drink it cold. No one better get in the way while I’m making my delicious mixture either. lol Hoping you’re having a great week-end!
Watermelon!
i like my coffee sweet, like a frappucino!
London is a great city–British Museum, National Portrait Gallery, Victoria & Albert Museum, Tate Gallery–I could name many more. Can you tell I am a museum junkie? But, London has so much more. Especially, theatre.
I’m pretty exact with what I want in my coffee. I usually make hazelnut or french vanilla and have 2 stevia packets and 2 teaspoons of cream.
I like my coffee with international delight creamer!
It was pasta night for dinner.
My coffee is just low fat milk and organic sugar.
Thanks for the contest!
My favorite summer fruit is strawberries
My hubs is English, so I lived with him in London for a couple of years – my accent is a mix of Aussie & English now, even though we’ve been living back in Australia for 2 years. A lot of folks think I’m actually a Brit, so I always have to tell them my story lol.
Hello, I’ve been a subscriber for a while now:) I am the eldest of seven children, I’m a single mother, I have five grown children, I have eight grandchildren and I love them all, with all my heart. My biggest dream is to visit Scotland before I am too old to enjoy it;)
Today has not been a good day. I do enjoy your blog and I know you can’t always feel like being upbeat because you are human but it never shows it your post.
Visited London many, many years ago!
So, this is ridiculous, but when I was a kid, there was a sort of off-brand spinoff of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, called Snow White and the Seven Dwarfettes (yep, female dwarves), and at the end, someone gets thrown under a magic cloak that turns them to stone, and it terrified me. A lot. I seriously had nightmares about turning to stone afterwards.
Black coffee drinker since I was 11!
I can’t drink my coffee without milk or cream. I can do without sugar but never the milk! The Laura Mercier goodies look lovely!
I have never been to London!
My favorite summer fruits are peaches and watermelons.
I have never been to London, but I’d love to go!

wehhh, I love the smell and taste of coffee, but it makes me sick! And I work in a coffee shop, too, haha
How do you take your coffee? – In the summer I like a large frappe mocha…in the winter I order a medium coffee milk and sugar light (that’s how my mom always had us order her coffee when we were younger and now that’s the only way I can take mine unless its loaded up with chocolatey goodness 🙂 )
I take my coffee with a splash of half & half, no sugar. If there isn’t half & half available I’ll take it black rather than putting regular milk in it.
For me its a tie between cheerries and watermelon…watermelon I pretty much eat year round so I guess cherries has the edge.
I LOVE the photo at the beginning of the post, Karen. Have you reviewed the collection yet? If not, I very much look forward to it.
Also, I take my coffee with a splash of milk and two sugars. 🙂
Mangos are my favorite summer fruit!
The last meal I cooked is actually on the stove now. It is Buckwheat groats with pink lady apples, cinnamon, and a tough of brown sugar.

After having a Starbucks white mocha with extra whipped cream as my first ever taste of coffee, I HAVE to have it super sweet. Sometimes with over 4 sugars… maybe occasionally over 6…
Since I live just outside London, yes I have been! I love going for touristy days out around the main sights of the city, and maybe stopping off on Oxford Street to do a spot of shopping too! (a definite must!)
I have been to London twice! One of my favorite cities for sure!
Tea is good
So many great summer fruits to choose from but I’d probably have to go with berries, especially strawberries! And pineapples are yummy too!
When I make it myself, I take my coffee black. But if I buy it, I like to get something fun like a macchiato.

On a typical makeup day, I wear three different eyeshadow colors.

coffee depends on how tired i am. if i need a huge boost, then i need an espresso with milk and sugar. if i just want something relaxing, a white chocolate capuccino makes me happy 🙂
Coffee – I used to always use just a splash of milk, but lately I’ve been doing black. Never ever use sugar, I like bitter-tasting things. Apropos of nothing, I’m going surfing for the first time this week – I’m excited but nervous!
I usually only wear 3 eyeshadows on a daily basis – lid, crease, highlight. I can get away with just using one (usually a highlight) but for a special event I can use several more!

Yes. I have been to London. I went when I was 17 as a graduation gift from my family. I’ve always wanted to go back.
A movie (or part of a movie) that always scared me when I was little was that part of Ghostbusters where the librarian jumps out at the beginning. That is one of my favorite movies, but that part scared the bejesus out of me every time.

Hands down Pet Cemetery especially Zelda. I can’t even watch it now at 38.
Peaches and Watermelon! I tried to buy a watermelon yesterday and the store had none! Tragic.
I’m so proud of myself! I’ve finished 3 books in 2 months!! On to my 4th book! Also caught the movie “Jersey Boys” over the weekend1 Great movie, so much I didn’t know about Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons!

Karen, if you enjoyed the documentary on Chatsworth, you should read her memoir on her childhood, marriage and how she managed to save Chatsworth by opening it up to the public. I couldn’t put it down! It’s called Wait for Me! by Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire. She was the youngest of the Mitford sisters, but you probably already know that

I’ve been trying to cut down on my coffee and I hardly ever have a cup now (I’ll have a tea or a chai latte instead) but I would normally take it with sugar and milk. I’ve definitely been feeling better since cutting it down.
I need to get back to my eyeshadow, especially my Naked 3. Lately I’ve been using eyeliner with some shadow on top to set it but I’m craving some eyeshadow action!
My hubby and I are celebrating 13 years of being together tomorrow!

Just got back from a girl’s weekend. It was fun, but I’m wiped out. Recovering with some Pad Thai and PBS.
Durian: all day, everyday!
Once upon a time, there was a young woman. She really loved lychees. They were her favorite summertime fruit simply because she found them just so damn refreshing and fun to peel apart. She also desperately wished she could win this randomized Sephora gift card contest. 😛
The end!
Summer to me is watermelon (and hot dogs).
I saw the movie Event Horizon as a kid and it scared me to death! I had nightmares for the longest time!
E.T. TERRIFIED me when I was younger!
