Saturday Surfing

May 8th, 2010 by Karen 34 Comments


Morning, homies! How was Friday night? Did it involve any makeup, music, dancing, boys, or dancing boys who wear makeup?

I’m not awake fully awake yet…which explains my big cup of coffee and zombie-like stare, and I feel like starting the day with simple tasks and two easily digestible comfort foods: 1) a warm caffeinated beverage and 2) an hour of web surfing. Would you like to join me?

I’ve watched this more than 20 times, and it still makes me laugh!

What are you doing today, and does it involve makeup? 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    That poor dog!! Luckily we don’t have a Roomba and Muffin avoids the dog in general.

    I have to chug a gallon of coffee and study because I have to take a final today at 6:45. The massive freak snowstorm we received in winter meant we didn’t go to school for a week so all the exams got pushed around.

    Yuck!

    And I was supposed to take my mom out to vineyards today for an early Mother’s Day trip.

    Have a great day!

    I am currently using the Kiehl’s sunblock and it’s great. Not only does it offer sun protection but also very moisturizing!

      Hi Vonvon,

      I’m always looking for something that moisturizes well so that sounds promising. How does it smell?

    I’m just relaxing today, husband has to work. I slept reeeeally late and it was glorious. Last night I made some chocolate chip cookies from scratch, so I’ll probably snack on those and a smoothie after my workout. 🙂

    I’ve got my eye on Sephora’s Shiseido Fun in the Sun kit today. It has some products I’ve been wanting to try and the travel size would be great for my upcoming vacations!

      I went to Sephora yesterday to get my mum’s gift (a Clarisonic Mia aka a Mia for my momma aka a momma Mia… ha ha ha! okay, bad joke) and I was tempted by soo much stuff it wasn’t even funny. 🙁

      Might have to put the Shiseido kit on my list… one can never have enough sunscreen around.

    Having a lovely, restful and allergy-filled afternoon at home with the Mister & the cats. My child is off running with a pack of her fellow 6th-grade pals in the park, enjoying the sunshine. That mean kitty Roombah video is the funniest thing ever; my favorite part is after she punches the dog in the face (for like, the 3rd time), she looks down at her paw with this expression like, “bish, PLEASE…my manicure!!” Love that video.

      Ha ha! I love that part too! Gotta love how the cat lays down the smackdown and then just immediately starts grooming…

      Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend and that your allergies are under control!

    Uh oh, Karen- be careful with that Meowmania site! I was playing with it yesterday, and my cats got all freaked out and started looking for an intruder! I felt so mean! 🙁

      Aww… it’s all in good fun. Indoor cats crave stimulus, right? At least they’re getting a little something!

    I have nothing planned today. I was so tired last night: I spent 8 hours at the mall O_O. Came home and crashed for 12 hours. Haha.

    I think I’m gonna put on some makeup for fun today. 😀

    Lastly, that kitty on the Roomba= too funny!

    Meowmania is funny. It totally freaked out Eddy (human fiance) who thought our real cats were in trouble.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
