Sephora giveaway!

“Who? Who?” the owl asked outside my window today. “Mrrrrrowwwwww!” answered the interested tabby on the windowsill.

Rise and shine, morning glory! Happy Caturday!

So…Tabs has been all about his new employee’s Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym lately, even though I keep shooing him away from it because I don’t want him tearing it apart.

He’ll reluctantly walk away only to sneak back a few minutes later. It could be the only thing in the middle of the floor, and of all the places to plop down, he’ll plop down right there.

Cats

Cats…

What are you up to this weekend? Do you have any plans? I’m getting a haircut this afternoon, and I’m very excited about it! Whatever you’re doing, I hope you’re doing something fun.

  1. Hey, your ideas brought back a memory from long ago. When I was 4 or 5 I walked in our towns”s spring fashion show. Still remember the dress. Not exactly New York fashion week but in the little town in SD it was a fashion show. Have a great weekend.

  7. Hi karen, hope you and baby girl are doing well here recently. I hope tabs is adjusting well to baby. I’ve never had braces, thankfully! Me and my fiance just celebrated 9 years together, getting married next year for our 10th!

  11. I’m having a dinner party which means cleaning the house more thoroughly than usual. Not fun, but it’s always satisfying when it’s done. And of course after the cleaning is done, I get to spend time with my friends, which is always awesome (and I just got a Sephora shipment, so new makeup to play with for the evening)

  12. Happy Saturday! I don’t personally know any guys who wear makeup but I follow a few male MUAs on Instagram and I find them hugely inspirational. I think they are helping to expand the perceived box of what makeup can do and I hope they are the beginning of a new generation that embraces makeup as universal. My favorite male makeup lovers on IG are Patrick Starrr, Alex Faction and MannyMUA. They are beautiful, talented people using the medium and expression of makeup to change the world. It’s awesome!

  13. I’ve been loving NYX lately for affordable but quality products. I also always find the value in drugstore mascaras, especially since I replace them every 3 months.

  15. Regarding cat themed accessories: I’m dying for a pair of Marc Jacobs shoes/sneakers that have a cat face on them. I saw them online and love them.

  32. I had braces and it was horrible. Lets not talk about it! Lol! I got my hair cut two days ago and it was glorious. I got about 5 inches taken off so now it’s above my shoulders. Feels great!

  35. I never had braces (thank heavens!!!!), but I do know a guy who wears makeup. He does so to even out his skin and to conceal under his eyes.

  37. I didn’t have braces, but I had Invisalign–roughly ten years ago. They worked but were a bit inconvenient and I wore them for a while–nearly two years. It would have been better to have had braces earlier in my life.

    Reply

  40. I had an interesting braces experience. I got braces in middle school and unlike most people, while in the process, because my teeth were so compacted and interestingly enough my wisdom teeth were also growing too. So, in middle school (8th grade) I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Needless to say, the braces appointment right after this had to be the most painful mouth work ever done…. Had braces, interesting and painful experience. Hey… At least I got my chipmunk face out of the way early! ?

  41. I’m scuba certified! And right now, I’m impressed with IT Cosmetics for their affordable price & quality…

  42. I wore braces and other stuff in my mouth for over 6 years. That was a long time ago and procedures are way better today. I do have beautiful teeth and it was worth it all.

    Reply

  45. I actually think that wet n wild is a great brand for the money. The good products that they do have are great quality for an extremely low price.

    Reply

  51. In my opinion Rimmel London has the best quality for the money. It’s the most affordable brand I can think of that has something in every category that I like! In my everyday makeup bag I have a Rimmel bronzer, mascara and concealer at the moment

  57. Awww, Tabs!!

    I never had braces. My current dentist asks if I’ve thought about them, because my bottom teeth are a bit crooked, but they don’t cause me any problems. My brother had braces twice though.

    Reply

  58. I’ve been thinking about the best makeup brand for the quality AND the price and I can’t come up with any definite answer. I love Makeup Geek, but some of their products are definitely misses. Maybe ColourPop would be my choice right now because I have been happy with the different products I’ve tried from them.

    Reply

  60. Hi Karen, I like a lot of makeup brands so that’s a hard one to answer. I really enjoy my Girlactik bronzer and Natural Face Glow because they are so subtle as well as the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Dim Light & Mood Light but then I just purchased MAC’s Lightscape Powder and that is very comparable and lovely for a great price. Hard to choose! Hope you and baby are doing well.

  61. I had braces in 7th grade but was lucky enough to only have them for 2 years. I actually loved having braces, even though most people dread them!

    Reply

  62. My favorite budget-friendly brand is NYX. Very high quality for a drug store brand. The only men I know that wear makeup are two men at my local Ulta and one at my local Sephora. They all look great, and are all better at doing their makeup than I am!

  64. i have an awesome spooky black cat purse that i don’t wear a ton but it’s a great statement piece when i do

  74. Our cats love that gym mat too, when Colin was a baby and we left it out all the time they’d often chase each other through it at all hours. There’s a lot of little claw holes in it. And if they got really fired up, they’d dive under it. Cats and baby stuff, seriously. Right now one of them is hanging out in the bottom of the exersaucer. No plans for me except maybe I can arrange a trip to Ulta to return some things. Erik had another bad night, up every 30-45 minutes from 7pm-1:30am, then up at 3am and 5am. At least it was the weekend so Sean could get Colin up and I slept until 8:30am, but all told only got about 5.5 hours and when it’s broken up over so many small sleep periods it leaves me feeling pretty wrecked. If we gathered all my weekly comments on these posts, it would provide some interesting insight into his sleep, I gather. Hah!

  78. I wore braces for two years, from 9th grade to 11th grade, complete with rubber bands. It wasn’t fun but I’m so thankful my mom insisted on them. I had 8 teeth pulled (4 wisdom teeth and 4 eye teeth), I don’t have those pointy fang teeth. After that I had a spacer on the roof of my mouth to widen my bite and when that come out I got braces. It was a long painful process but so totally worth it.

  79. I love the antics of cats! I always laugh when I play with mine. I think Wet n Wild has some great products for cheap. Milani has really stepped up their game as well!

    Reply

  80. Hmmm … tough question! For best value, I like Sephora brand for high end (though I also want to say Benefit!), and E.L.F for drugstore.
    No braces (though I maybe should have had them!), No runway, No scuba. But I do have one male friend who wears foundation 🙂

    Reply

  81. My favorite cat accessory is my Betsey Johnson Macy’s Exclusive Cat Cosmetics Case. It’s actually big and nice enough I use it as a wristlet/clutch purse.

    Reply

  82. You may have to buy another Rainforest for Tabs.

    What’s your favorite cat-themed accessory? Cat charm on my pandora bracelet.

    Best quality makeup brand for the money (best value)? I think now that the Mac pro pans have lowered their price, that item wins hands down, but for an entire brand? Perhaps Sleek or Zoeva?

    Do you SCUBA? I tried Snuba once, didn’t like the regulator pushing air into me.

    Have you ever walked a runway? Nope.

    Did you have braces? Nope.

    Do you know any men who wear makeup? Nope.

    Reply

  84. I never had braces as my teeth were cosmetically pretty straight. As a kid I thought I was lucky because I made it through middle school and high school without them. Now as an adult with jaw and bite issues, I totally regret not getting them. Sigh…Maybe someday I’ll end up with adult braces to fix it.

  85. I don’t have any cat themed accessories, but I have a few dog themed accessories. I have a necklace that says “dog mom”, a heart shaped necklace with a dog paw, a german shepherd pin, and a phone case with pictures of my dogs on it.

  89. I think the best quality makeup for the money is Nyx, or mark from Avon- I haven’t purchased mark in a long time, but it was always some of my favorite makeup!

  90. How’s Connor? How are you? I don’t know about makeup, but i have recently been super excited and happy w Neutrogena products. I have been using Philosophy for the last 10 years and just don’t want to shell out the money any more. I’m super happy w Neutrogena and think I’m gonna stick w them!

    Reply

  94. The best quality for value makeup brand has goooooooot to be Colourpop. Their matte and satin matte lipsticks are so flipping amazing and their eye shadows (though they do take some working with) are out of this world beautiful and pigmented. All for drugstore prices!

  95. I have a hooded sweatshirt I ordered from Japan. It’s called the Mewgaroo (I think), & has a big fuzzy pouch in front for carrying a real live furry friend. It also has cat ears on the hood & thumb holes on the cuffs, which have paw pads on them. Have only been able to get a cat to stay in the pouch pretty briefly, thought my dog is stoked to be there when she wants to be extra warm & cuddly. I think next time I get a kitten, I’ll start training it young, so I can carry it around in there all the time.

    Reply

  97. My favorite cat-themed accessory is actually a my “RAWR” tank top! It’s all black with a black cat’s face shaded onto the front and says RAWR over the kitty’s head. Adorable, but I have to wear it over a fuller coverage tank. Got it at Hot Topic around 5 years ago.

  101. I actually took SCUBA lessons and went all the way up to the test portion but ended up not doing it cause I wasn’t sure when I’d use SCUBA again and didn’t want to pay for it and not use it…

    Anyway…Connor Claire is absolutely adorable. You’re so lucky!

  103. There was a newscaster in my old town who shall remain nameless, who owned and wore more makeup than I did. EVEN WHEN NOT ON AIR! LOL. Although I have to say he gave great brand and makeup tips. Hmmmm. I’m pretty sure his wife was a makeup minimalist. Balance ladies balance.☆

  104. Now I can’t think if the name of the site but they sell all kinds of cute pet themed stuff and they donate to feed animals in shelters. I bought my friend the cutest long sleeved cat shirt for her birthday from them last year. She loves cats, so I knew she’d appreciate the shirt and the good cause part of it too. I knew a few guys who wore black eye liner when I was in high school in the 80’s. It was a thing then.

  106. I never had braces and it shows when I smile, but I don’t care. I seriously need a haircut. Instead of booking an appointment for today, I drove out north of Sacramento to visit my horse. I miss her so much, but it’s too expensive to board a non-working horse in the Bay Area.

  108. Yup had the braces through high school thing. It wasn’t as bad as other folks had them, but I had a hard time with the retainers so I could use another round of braces.

    Reply

  110. Yep – braces. Got ’em on in 2nd grade, off in 6th, and a retainer until the wisdom teeth came out sometime in college. I seriously hope that orthodontics have evolved since the 80s!

  122. I live in San Francisco, so makeup for men(and jewelry and handbags to make you jealous) is pretty commonplace. My daughter’s former dance teacher really rocked the guy-liner.

  123. Braces – twice! Once as a teen and then again as an adult when my should-have-been-removed-earlier wisdom teeth had caused some alignment problems. Happy with the result but once should have been enough.

    Reply

  126. NYX,Essence,and Hard Candy are all great budget brands! The Sephora Collection brand has also impressed me 🙂 It’s def more costly than drugstore m/u,but less than the other brands sold at Sephora.

  136. I used to have braces, but my teeth have shifted a lot since then. I’d like to try Invisalign at some point, if it isn’t too expensive.

    This is probably a pretty obvious answer, but ELF is very good for both price and quality. I like their brushes a lot.

  142. I had braces as a teenager. The results have mostly lasted, except two front teeth overlap a little. Considering getting them fixed if/when my kids ever need braces — that way they know I feel their pain!

  144. I had braces as an adult and was wearing them for my wedding. My parents couldn’t afford them and I really needed them. Having my teeth straightened out gave me a lot of self confidence and the ability to smile freely.

  151. Oh!! I thought I had an owl myself the other day!! I *swore* something was hooting outside my window in the wee morning hours, (a bit too wee, it was not quite 5! ?) but when I excitedly reported said hooting the next day, I was not so gently let down by my mother. (she laughed at me.) she provided information (and later, proof) that I did not, in fact, have an owl, but I *did* have several very enthusiastic mourning doves. oh well!!

    hope you have a great weekend, I NEED a haircut as well… I keep putting it off for my wallet’s sake, but it’s become a definite necessity. it’s been raining here for two weeks straight and I can’t handle one more day of insane frizz! 🙂

My favorite cat-themed accessory never made it to my jewelry collection 🙁 I spotted these suuuuuuuperfunny grumpy cat earrings in a little shop in Japan and I was really set on buying them, but then my man said they looked tacky and because I was being stubborn I refused to buy them. Ended up buying a set of popsicle earrings instead. Also cute, but man, I wish I had also bought the kitty earrings!

  178. My cats also like to sit/lie exactly where I don’t want them to. This is especially true when I have to dry a sweater flat on a bed. Even though it is damp, one of my cats will invariably lie on it for hours (and get fur all over it in the process).

  179. Hope Everyone is having a Great weekend! We were supposed to go to a Graduation and did get up and got all dressed up drove there and decided while we were in the parking lot that since there were so many people there that we wouldn’t be missed and decided to blow it off. So since we looked so good we went out to lunch and just had an adventure day. Yes, I know “How irresponsible!” But, in our own defense, I’m 49 & hubby is 62 so we are “responsible” all the time!!

  202. I walked on the runway for my friend’s final presentation when she graduated from design school. The “model” who was supposed to walk got sick and I was the right size although shorter than the model. It worked out OK. But she owed me big because some of the designs were completely sheer and I had to wear like 3 inch heels!

    Hope that your weekend was great and you got a great hair cut!

  208. I’d say the best quality for the price is the sephora collection makeup. I haven’t tried all that much from the brand but I’ve been impressed by their blush, baked sculpting trio, liquid lipstick, and concealer. Great colour range and variety of products

  231. 232 comments in, I might as well be commenter number 233, because, why not? ☺️ Yes, I’ve walked a runway before. I did some lite modeling when I lived in the Atl. The experience was okay but I quickly realized that the modeling world isn’t for me. It kinda felt like a plastic, competitive, Barbie doll world & I didn’t quite fit that mold. Hope you loved your cut. I’m getting a good friend of mine to trim my ends on Friday, though I think it’ll be more like a cut because my ends are raggedy ?

  233. A hundred years ago when I was in high school we had a beauty and beau review much like many schools have today. The difference in then and now is when I was in school the student body voted on who would be in the review rather than anyone who wants to enters today. And I was honored enough to be one of the chosen ones to be in the review and walked a runway. It wasn’t a very long runway but it was a run way.
    I hope you have a great day and thanks so much.

    Have I ever walked a runway? Not professionally – just for fun!
    Did I have braces? Never.
    Do I know any men who wear makeup? Of course! All the best Queens do!

  243. I never wore braces but I always kind of wanted to. Everyone at school was wearing them so I wanted too. When the time where everyone starting getting them removed or had them removed, they are shocked I never needed them and mentioned how lucky I am.

  250. Had braces for a few years as a teen, like so many. I have never tried enough products from one brand to say which is the best bang for your buck, but if I were to do that experiment I’d probably start with Nyx.

  251. Hi Karen! I’ve never scuba before, but would love to learn someday and discover a Spanish galleon full of gold coins and become a millionaire. Ha ha!

  253. I had braces for several years in junior high, and a retainer for a few more. The worst, though, was the headgear that I had to wear overnight. Awkward, ugly and uncomfortable are the words that come to mind. No wonder I never had a date in high school!
