Congratulations all around, ladies! We made it to Saturday. 🙂 I’ve been trying to ease up on my coffee intake lately (been on a tea kick), but I give myself a pass on Saturdays. It’s amazing how something as small as a latte can make the day feel special, like a reward for making it through the week in one piece.
Before I go get my Starbucks on, do you have time for a little Saturday surfing?

I know this girl! Doesn’t she have a pretty voice? 🙂
Have you heard of Chat Roulette??
I’m getting the itch to travel (and skateboard)
What do ya got going on today? I’m basically running errands (post office, grocery store and Target)… Maybe I can squeeze in a run if the inspiration strikes.
Have a most excellent Saturday!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

March 6th, 2010 at 10:34 amLove Heather’s song! She does have a pretty voice, very soulful. And you KNOW her makeup looks good!
On a separate note, I don’t think I’d want to smell like Jennifer Aniston…Celeb perfumes are a bit out of control.

Karen says
March 6th, 2010 at 2:12 pmLOL… yeah, it seems like every celeb has a scent. I miss the days when the only two people hawking fragrance were Cher and Elizabeth Taylor.
Stef says
March 7th, 2010 at 1:11 pmDebbie Gibson was in there pretty early too (not of Cher/Liz type of fame though). Did you ever smell Electric Youth? I always imagined it smelled like Bubble Yum and zit cream!

March 6th, 2010 at 10:59 amOMG those felt cat caves are adorable. Now I must quickly leave the moderncat website, lest I lose an hour to clicking, oohing and awwing. (one last peak!)
Karen says
March 6th, 2010 at 11:07 amI want one or two or five for Tabs! 🙂

March 6th, 2010 at 2:09 pmThat sounds like fun. What did you do today?
Nina says
March 6th, 2010 at 11:57 amShowed Hubs the cat caves … we want, we want!!! 😀
Karen says
March 6th, 2010 at 2:10 pmAwesome, right? I would like one for every room. 🙂
Nina says
March 7th, 2010 at 8:20 amTold him that it was even better than those collapsible cat walkways that we saw on TV — he agreed!!!

March 6th, 2010 at 1:05 pmHappy Saturday!
The Oatmeal site cracks me up. I had no idea how awesome Heather was. I ended up buying her first CD and it’s so good!
I am running errands today. Such a nice day in SF!

March 6th, 2010 at 2:11 pmIt’s nice up here too! The sun is out and it’s warm enough to walk around without a jacket.
Got any exciting plans for the evening?
Amber says
March 6th, 2010 at 2:43 pmOh darn you, I want that Le Metier palette and I have absolutely no need for it!

March 6th, 2010 at 3:15 pmKaren,
I am so excited for the MAC Pret a Papier collection…this new image has the packaging looking like paper….wouldn’t that be cool if it REALLY did look like that ?!? And, I love the H&M summer stuff. I am so excited with the anticipation that hopefully by Christmas, I will NO LONGER need to shop at the Avenue or Lane Bryant!!
Funny thing…..you’re on the west coast, I’m on the east coast and we spent this Saturday doing….THE EXACT SAME THING!!! LOL!
I got up early this morning, when to the post office, the dry cleaners, the UPS Store (to ship back a package), then to Target (where I was underwhelmed….no Liberty of London to be found….maybe I was too anxious?) and finally to Trader Joe’s, where I did some shopping and got, amongst other things–some HUMUNGO strawberries, some crumpets and some Snap-Peas to snack on this week. I’m trying to kick start the healthier eating since surgery is 3 weeks away!!

March 8th, 2010 at 9:29 amI agree about some of the celeb perfumes, but I just love the new Paris Hilton one, it’s SO good… even if the name is a bit trashy and I don’t want people I bump into to know what it is, lol! I used to really enjoy the jLo Glow perfume.
