Rise and shine, pal o’ mine! Are you feeling Furiosa?

OK, so Mad Max: Fury Road was a riotously good action movie, and Charlize Theron’s Furiosa kicks so much butt, but now that I sit and think about the movie…a lot of it is blurring together. It’s such a visual spectacle of high-octane nonstop action, and everything’s so dusty and dirty and hot, but it’s almost more like listening to heavy metal music while looking at a beautiful painting of the desert than watching a regular movie….if that makes any sense.

In other news, I’m still making progress on Project Get My Sh*t Together, but I haven’t fully gotten it together yet. I did pick up three of these gray ombre milk crates from Target to use in the pink storage shelves in my office, but I haven’t filled them yet. So maybe I’ll work on that this weekend.

Other than that, I don’t know what’s on my agenda yet. Maybe a bicycle ride this afternoon in the Novato hills with El Hub if it warms up a little. It’s not exactly cold, but it has been very windy here. It gets Tabs fired up, I guess because he sees everything moving.

You know how cats are.

How was your week? What was the most surprising or interesting thing that happened?

  2. Hi Karen! Happy Caturday. 🙂
    My favorite non-musical sound is hearing my dogs smack their lips in their sleep. It makes my heart melt.

    I want to see Mad Max! That might be what we do today, since it’s going to rain all day!

  3. I’m good at certain puzzle games and suck at others. I’m really good at word searches, so so at Words With Friends. I have a puzzle app on my iPad, it’s kind of cool because it looks just like a real jigsaw puzzle. You can specify how many pieces you want it to be, I find that relaxing because I focus on the pieces and stop stressing.

    I like a pop of purple, but I’m not so sure about all purple. I can’t wear all purple, I’m blonde blue eyed PALE. So it looks like I’m bruised but I can get away with purple eyeliner on a nude eye. I think if someone has the right coloring it could look amazing, just not on me.

    On a side note, we’re celebrating our anniversary this weekend by going to Hummingbird for breakfast and then a movie later. We were going to see the Book of Mormon but the time got away from both of us. LOL. (I thought HE was getting the tickets and he though I was getting the tickets..oops!) Have you ever been to the Rotunda restaurant in Neiman Marcus in Union Square? We did that for my birthday last year (I’m a Christmas baby) totally recommend it. The crab & shrimp louie salad is amazing. It’s pricey but it’s such a fun treat, especially at Christmas when the tree is up. I’m rambling, but that’s what I we were going to do for our anniversary.

    Have a great Caturday!

  4. Karen! Heeeelp, my laptop has crashed right as I’m finishing my bachelor short film! ;( And I hadn’t made a back-up of my computer in about 2 years. I’m hoping my brother-in-law can fix it… Bet you feel real organised now!

  6. I love everything purple – blush, lipstick, eyeshadow, you name it. It’s my favourite colour ever. That’s why I like Urban Decay so much – they do killer purples.

    A second ago I stumbled across a movie trailer on YouTube. The movie is called “A World Beyond” and I got a tiny glimpse of my favourite actor Mr Hugh Laurie, so I’m going to name him when it comes to the most beautiful eyes. Fangirl moment! In real life I would always choose my boyfriend’s baby blues, of course XD.

  7. Purple is one of my least favorite colors but I’d possibly consider it on my toes. I’m not sure why but most shades of purple just don’t appeal to me.

  8. Purple is my life so Id say PURPLE EVERYTHING! Ive been wearing a Nyx Macaron lipstick a lot lately that is a nice purple and Mac’s Gunner has gotten a lot of use aswell. Been looking at investing in some nice purple eyeliners aswell and bought one from the Nyx Slide on range that I cant wait for to arrive!

  12. Hi Karen,

    I LOVE wearing purple on the eyes. My eyes are hazel and every time I smoke out a purple liner or wear some purple in the crease, my eyes look green!

  15. Hi Karen! I visited San Francisco a week ago from Australia and had to check out the MAC pro store and picked up a chromagraphic pencil in nc35 and it has changed my life. I use it under my brows and as an inner corner highlight. I’m an nc42 too and you are my makeup twin. I think half my stash is a “Karen made me buy it”.. It’s so strange that I know the inner contents of your makeup bag and you don’t know the profound effect you have had on mine. Thanks for doing what you do! Hugs from Australia!!

  16. I have a craze with purple nail polishes at the moment, simply can’t get enough of them 🙂 As for purple eyeshadow, it rarely happens, but looks fierce whenever I feel like applying it 🙂

  17. Hello,

    I absolutely love purple products. I used to be intimidated by purples but I especially enjoy any shade of purple lipstick (preferably mattes) I also like purple shadows, I think it makes my brown eyes pop!

  22. Purple? Who’s talking about purple?

    I’m in love with purple! From pale lilac to dark plum!

    I often wear purple clothes and, of course, make up! For example today I went with a Electra + Brazenly combo with the Evil Twin liner (all from MAC)!

  24. I LOVE wearing Purple anything! I already have like 4 purple lipsticks/lip glosses but I’d really love to venture in a purple blush because that I don’t have.

    Reply

  25. I would have to say a 5 on puzzle games. I honestly never play them much but I’m sure I will more as I get older. lol And I adore purple so I would easily wear it anywhere as an eye shadow, lipstick color, blush, or whatever else struck my fancy. I’ve even thought about getting some purple highlights at some point. It’s just a great color.

  27. Purple anything is really growing on me. I used to just be a purple nail polish kind of person, but my collection on purple lipsticks, eyeshadows, and blushes is growing.

  29. I think my 4 year old daughter has the most beautiful eyes ever. They’re the most magnificent hazel color and she’s got lashes grown women would envy. I might be just a bit biased but…oh well.

  30. Theres many non musical sounds that i absolutely love but one of my most fav sound is….
    The sound of wood burning in a fireplace. Those snaps just make me feel so cozy especially in winter when i use to go out with my family somewhere in the woods or in a cottage…Ahhh family life was the best but everything’s different now, i loved someone and told my parents about it. They didnt agree so we both ran away from our homes and got married. Even though we both love each soo much but still family love will always be missing. Just hope both our parents accept us so at least i can get some of my lost happiness back..

    And good luck to everyone whose taken part…may the best person win 🙂

  33. Actually purple is one of my favorite colors so I see no problem wearing anything of that shade whether it’s eyeshadow or clothes or accessories. I died my hair purple when I was a teen lol xD

  34. Favorite non Musical sounds: water(anything but a drip sounds lovely to me) Laughter(esp frommy kids- it is hard to make them laugh now they are teens), the engines of American muscle cars and old chevrolets(my dad and son are car guys. nuff said) wind through the chimney, my sister’s voice, pencil against paper, computer keyboards and typewriters, old fashioned machinery(think gears watches and clocks)the sound of the door opening and closing when my son finally comes home for the night=relief!, wine glass sounds- pouring, clinking, setting on a table, cat purrs, coffee maker brewing when it exhales the last puff and you know it’s ready to pour, dishwasher sounds

  36. Hi Karen!

    I absolutely love wearing purple products. Eyeshadows are where I feel most comfortable, but lately I’ve been getting more into nail polish and lip sticks like Mac’s Up the Amp and Herorine. I can’t wait to get the most use out of them this summer!

  48. I have always loved purple eyeshadow, and within the past year have become completely besotted with purple or lavender tinted lips and cheeks.

    One of my favorite sounds is that of a skate blade on ice, especially the deep satisfying rasp of a good backwards cut. I love teaching someone to skate backwards if only for the excuse to do those slow, methodical, scooping cuts 🙂

  63. Hah, I love your description of the movie.

    On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being grandmaster champion, how good are you at puzzle games? Around a 6 or 7? I love em!

    Best name for a city or town? Bill. =P That’s near where my friend lives.

    How do you feel about wearing purple products (eye makeup, lips, nails, clothing, accessories)? I like purple pretty well! I’d wear all of it, except for purple blush, or too dark purple of eyeshadow. Lilacs are the best, in my opinion, and I can wear lilac eyeshadow without looking like I’ve been punched.

But we went out shopping and I decided I’d pull out some of my palettes and reach for some purple shades. The look came out pretty good actually and dramatic. Anyhoo I need to reach for my purple shadows more!

  97. Hi Karen!

    Ooooo, have never actually tried mac before. Somehow I get intimidated when people won’t let me browse without trying to help me. I’m just weird like that.

    Prettiest eyes ever… I used to scribe in a hospital before grad school and this one doc had the most amazing blue eyes I’ve ever seen in person. Not digitally enhanced movie theater blue, but, like, “my mom had an affair with a norse god” blue. I had to actively remind myself not to stare. And he was a nice enough guy, but this had nothing to do with his personality- it was the EYES. Ugh, even now…. I don’t remember what he looks like, but I remember those eyes.

    And purple is the shiz- I’m wearing both purples from the urban decay vice palette today. Love it.

    Happy Weekend!

  101. Hey Karen,

    I’ve been debating on taking a gander at the Mad Max movie because I was such a Beyond Thunderdome fan (way back in the day…I’m aging myself lol). When it comes to remakes and “sequels” often times I feel like they tried too hard to make it better it still just doesn’t work. But there have been some spectacular numero twos so I’m thinking it’s a go.
    This week was pretty exciting because I had 2 job interviews neither of which I got hired for but I’m praying something comes along (GW) very soon. Other than that just getting everything set into motion for a family reunion this coming September.
    Other than that nothing too spectacular going on so I’m going to watch a few Netflix movies, and try to finish Wayward Pines (smh). Also, I’ve got some exercise to catch up on and it’s a gorgeous day for a walk.

    What’s one of your favorite non-musical sounds? One of my favorite sounds is of the ocean. I’ve actually have relaxation melodies that help me sleep and I’m always setting it to ‘ocean waves’. It’s one of the most beautiful instruments God has ever made.

    Happy Saturday 😉

I am a typical brown-eyed girl, too dark to even be able to use colored contacts, but my wife has these gorgeous blue eyes that change shades all the time. Sometimes they are light and frosty, sometimes almost cobalt in their depths, but always provoking envy. I have always wanted to be able to wear colored contacts so that I could switch shades to work with my makeup, from emerald green to cobalt blue, even vivid violet. But alas, I am without options!!

  165. Hi Karen–hope you’re having a good weekend!
    Hmm, I do like me some purple–as a brown-eyed girl, I think it’s one of the colours I can pull off without looking too OTT. I’ll use a purple liner (Chanel Cassis is a fave) with an otherwise very neutral eye makeup. Or, a little lavender on the mobile lid (no prune-y wings here) with a little amber brown. Burgundy, violet, plum, lavender–purple is my cat-nip! 🙂

  166. I’ve been a lover of all things purple since I was little. I wear purple in clothing, on my nails, lips and eyes. Having blue-green eyes, wearing purple eye shadow and liner makes them pop.

    On a side note, I’m leaving this Friday for a 7 day Alaskan cruise and I’m planning on what to take out of my makeup stash more than deciding on what clothes to pack! LOL!!!

I stopped drinking soda and eating fatty foods, making better choices actually on what I eat. Also I am walking 2 miles every morning and doing 30 mins of cardio every afternoon. I’m adopting this way of life to stay thin and healthy!! Now the side effects of this weight loss is wonderful!! The #1 being all the awesome self confidence..I am so proud of myself for accomplishing such a monumental goal. I can’t wait to go to the family reunion in a month, and look fabulous in a new update outfit, hair and make up which is where I’ll definitely wear this makeup!! This reveal of my new thin and confident self will blow my family away for sure I’m so excited!!
    I will be crossin’ my finger for sure!!

I am also a fan of the dark purple lip look; I think it works very well on me.

  201. My best friends mom wore purple everything and when she passed away, my best friend was already too far gone. I thought when she got married she may incorporate a small trinket but she wore a purple wedding dress. God bless her she looked great because its her spirit and kindness and just being her. We all had to wear something purple and it was great! Kimi-Kali is one of a kind. On a side note, the prettiest eyes are on my on/off again lover of 18 years. They are a golden with specks of green and the non musical sound I love is hearing him gently breathing/talking into my ear.

    I have a love/hate relationship with purple eye makeup. I have green eyes so I’m always having purple shades thrown my way. I’m not a fan of straight up purple shades since I feel they look a little too cartoony on me, so I usually go for shades in the bronze and burgundy categories. The amount of makeup I have in all of those shades is ridiculous, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Can wear lighter lavender-based lipsticks (think MAC Dodgy Girl or BareMinerals Pretty Amazing lip color in Fearless). I can also do MAC Goddess of the Sea. Haven’t found a darker purple that I can wear because I’m VERY fair and the dark purples haven’t hit it right on my VERY fair pinkish complexion . . .

  237. Karen,

    You’ve got me thinking about my lack of purple! Purples are the only untouched group in any of my palettes….ever. I’ve never worn it. I don’t even have an excuse, I have nothing against the color; I’m not purple averse. Now I’m actually wondering why I’ve never worn it and even if I could pull it off. Hmm. I’m pretty conservative when it comes to makeup but I guess if the eyes were done correctly it might look okay. I’ve seen it and liked it on other people.

    Puzzles – I’d rate myself a 8 or 9. I love word puzzles, word searches, crosswords. I also love sudoko.

    Favorite town name that I’ve heard: Flippin, Arkansas. Cracks me up.

    Favorite sound – laughter. I love to hear anyone laugh, it’s a beautiful sound that instantly makes me smile….even if I’m not privy to why they are laughing and they are a stranger a few feet away.

    Most beautiful eyes – This is too hard for me to name one. Eyes are the first thing I notice about a person. I really believe they are windows to the soul. If you pay close enough attention eyes tell you everything about the person you are communicating with.

    I’ve heard a lot about Mac products, but I don’t own any. The highest end product I own at the moment is from Bare Minerals. I am in need of new products I’ve hit the pan on and Tuesday is my birthday. Maybe I need to expand my horizons on more than just color!

    Well, the first non-musical sound that comes to my mind is… the comforting sound of boiling water in the kettle. In the morning, in the afternoon, whenever ! I just love it, because I know it means I am about to drink a nice cup of tea 🙂

    And I love purple, especially on lips (maybe in a deep-red-purple shade), on my nails (wearing it right now) and for accessories (scarf, shoes…)

    Thanks for the weekly giveaways and have a nice sunday !

    And yes purple everything from makeup to furniture. It fits lovely with my Gothic influenced outfits and gives the impression of maturity.

    I have an Express tee, now unavailable, that says “Yesterday I wore black/Today I am wearing black/Tomorrow I will wear black” (in all caps). However, this is misleading, as sometimes I also wear purple (and that’s all). Should I ever win a MAC gift card, I would get the 9-shade purple eyeshadow palette. I’m considering getting a lavender Z-palette (so much pricier than DIY, though) and cobbling together my own purple palette from all my cheapy singles and other palettes’ purple bits and bobs. So yeah ^ ^

She wore it, decorated with us, chose flowers and gifts to give away in purple, and then passed away nearly two years ago with ALS and couldn’t even tell us in the last months of her life which purple outfit she wanted to wear that day. After that I almost hated the color.

    Till recently … I chose some purple eyeshadow, then a blazer that had purple in the tweed so I found a purple camy to wear under it, and slowly both my twin and I have begun to wear her favorite color. Not because it is so much better a color, but more that we feel in a small way we are honoring her memory, and it makes her feel closer.

As for the purple, I’m not such a fan. I wear it, from time to time – but nothing garnish. I’ll wear it on my nails, even dark purple and my eyes but not the darks. I’ve even done a smokey purple eye — but it’s certainly not something that I’d do much – but for the younger gals — I see it. My grandmother loved purple, wore it all the time. I thought she was a bit odd. LOL.

    My love of purple spans many things handmade diaries, clothes, and make up. I really want a purple sparkly cat collar for my gorgeous white rescue angora but as yet haven’t found one. One day I shall!

    I have two favourite purple eye shadow palettes that I get so much use from. My ultimate is the Marc Jacobs, The Tease, I cannot tell you how much I love the colours and texture of these beauties…and the packaging, just darned gorgeous! My favourite in the palette is the bright magenta shade (No.6) that i like to put in the middle of my lid for a pop of colour and warmth. The second is the purple palette from the Mac Toldeo and Ruben collection, Violetwink. Stars’n’rockets is my absolutley favourite of the shades, the fact that this is in the permanent collection makes me VERY happy. Again amazing packaging and a perfectly balanced range of six shades. I like that for the day you can combine the lighter colours of either of these palettes for a really understated look and then you can change it up with the gorgeous colour pops.

    I also adore the spring 2015 Essie Flowerista polish which is amazing. It goes with so may different colours and really suits my pale skin. I also have a limited editiong Chanel polish in Paradoxal that I bought a few years ago when I was living in Bahrain. It’s like a grey purple that is completely unusual and totally striking.

  355. I’m only into deep dark purples, very jewelish feelings. I don’t like soft or pinky purples. I think I like lilac nails but then I have them and want to remove them immediately

  364. I love wearing purple! Well, except in eyeshadow form. I have green eyes and people always tell me I should wear purple eyeshadow, but it never looks quite right. Maybe I just haven’t found the right shades yet.

  369. I like wearing all shades of purple products. It’s one of my favorite colors and I wear it in eye makeup, nails, clothing and accessories. But not my lips – it makes me look like the undead.

  371. I’m pro-purple. This reminds me of when I visited a Houston shopping mall the summer after 4the grade (’92) I saw a store called I [heart] Purple. Stocked with every purple knick-knack you can imagine!

    One of my favorite eyeshadow looks is a warm lavender with a touch of plum in the outer v. I’m 50, so it may be a no-no, but darned if the contrast doesn’t make my blue eyes pop! Sassy!
