His ears perk up no matter where he is in the house when he hears his favorite sound, the clackity-tap of the metal clamp at the end of his harness as it drops on the tiles by the door. “Outside time!” I imagine him shouting inside his little kitty brain.
Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum is the sound his quick little feet make as he darts across the floor above me, through the hallway and down the stairs. “Meow!” he calls excitedly when he sees me standing by the door.
I have the harness in my hand and smile. “Hi, buddy. You wanna go outside?”
“Meow!” he answers [“Of course!”], hopping like a bunny to my side.
I get some kitty hugs and even more meows. “Okay, sit still then,” I tell him, taking up the harness.
“Mrow!” he says [“Hold on!”], and then he zips away toward the kitchen, around the corner and out of sight. I know what he’s doing, of course. He’s running The Circuit, because he can’t contain his excitement. Just one of his funny feline quirks. I hear him back there hauling @ss, his little feet going dum-dum-dum-dum-dum all the way around until he’s back in the hallway again looking up at me. “Meow!” [“I’m ready!”] he proclaims, standing at attention, totally raring to go.
This is how it always goes when I pick up the harness to take Tabs for a walk. It’s the cutest thing! I think he was actually still sleeping upstairs this morning when I did it, LOL! At first I heard a loud thud, which must have been his big tabby bottom dropping on the floor. He was probably sleeping in the bathroom basin, aka “the spa.”
While I take Sir Tabs out for his morning stroll, why don’t we get the weekend off to a good start. 🙂 I think you know what that means. It’s…

I go a haircut last Saturday! My peg was Tron:Legacy’s Quorra, but it ended up looking like Dora. Still love it though!

Kelly Delp recently posted … Forget Not the Benefits
Yesterday I came outside to go to work and my passenger side window was shattered in-and a lot of things were missing. GPS, Chargers, books, etc. It took me about 5 minutes to remember that my ENTIRE makeup collection- years and years of collecting limited edition, very expensive at times-items are completely gone. I’m very, very upset. I literally had to run to a grocery store to find something waterproof to throw on my eyes so that they weren’t bright red and puffy for my entire work day.
Ugh. I could really use a gift card to start rebuilding. Hope everybody who reads this learns a lesson to be careful where they leave their makeup bag! Guys probably think its a purse or something.

When I have a house, I want a huge vegetable and herb garden.
My grandparents had a nice vegetable garden at there house when I was a little kid, and my neighbors always share their bounty with us lol. But someday I’d like to have my own small garden.
I am getting married next weekend, so my weekend will be spent preparing the house for some house guests and doing last minute wedding projects! 🙂
I live in an apartment with no verandah, so no garden for me.
i’m moving in a few weeks for the first time in my life.. i’ve lived in the same house for 21 years, it’s bittersweet.
The last lipstick I wore was Black Truffle by Estee Lauder, it’s this really dark chocolate color that I have to be in the mood for, but yesterday I was 🙂
Today I’m gonna wear a raspberry red one that is by Catrice.
my favorite flowers are pink tulips
I totally rocked out Urban Decays Lip Love gloss in “Failbait” yesterday. So soft and perfect for the summer like weather we’ve been having in NYC.
Not really a lipstick, but Tarte matte lipstain in Exposed! 🙂
I had a rose garden growing up, pretty but gotta watch out for those thorns!
Last lipstick i wore was NARS Pigalle. My favorite!!!!!!!!!!
Have a great weekend Karen!
Tabs is so cute!
Last lipstick I wore was Clinique’s Long Last Soft Shine Lipsick in Bamboo Pink. 😀

In high school, I was in the marching band and every year we went to Disneyland and marched in the parade. Yes, I’m a band nerd, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! :o)
I was in the marching band as well, and still am (FSU Marching Chiefs.) So don’t feel bad, marching band is awesome.
Tomorrow I will have a workshop with international makeup artist from NARS
So excited 🙂
Woke up to a Nordstrom email saying my Dior Sunset Nude Healthy Glow powder has been shipped! Biggest beauty decision of today: which polish for my weekend manicure. Life is pretty dang good 😛
I have nothing fun to share this AM but of course still want to get in on the action, thanks for the contest, lady!
Have you ever had a garden?
Nope
Tell me how to make your favorite kind of sandwich.
Good ‘ol PB & J!
What’s the last lipstick you wore?
Clinique Tenderheart
Have you ever been in a parade?
Yes, a couple of times. My Girl Scout troop used to march in the town 4th of July parade. Once I got to hold the flag.
i have to work today and tomorrow 🙁
waiting for duwop isla sirena collection to be realeased.
Yep, got a garden. It’s crap soil here…..so good luck to me. I tried walking one of my cats on a leash and things went ok. But then he turned in to a maniac and demanded outside time *all* the time. Plus there are a bunch of cats that live outside and I didn’t want him to catch anything. :(. I’m thinking of giving it a go again.
Must have more Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes!
I’m totally new to the designer makeup and beauty scene, but I’m slowly building my collection and loving every bit of it!
Sephora opened its doors in Malaysia (Finally!) and they bring in brands that were previously never available in Malaysia such as Urban Decay. Sadly though, they bring in just the “basics” and not the full ranges, and the brands they carry are still not as diverse as Sephora online 🙁 While I’m really delighted that Sephora is in Malaysia, I really hope to have a chance at scoring this e-gift card so I can shop on Sephora online 😀
I like gardening, but I will be moving to an apartment soon.
Hey I love your blog so much!! I’m a makeup newbie and I’m learning so much!!!
I have a garden, but it needs some work!
I’ve seen co-workers try to grow a variety of plants at the office; unfortunately most of them died.
Aw! Tabs is so ridiculously cute! I can’t believe he walks on a leash. I’ve never met a cat who would do that.

I was dying to have a MAC packed to go I’ve seem here. Loved your review. Now will got it; a friend of mine bought it for me! I’m so happy!!!
Never had a garden, always wanted one. But, I have dogs that eat anything and everything…Veggies included
No gardens, but love to plant flowers.
I’m going to New York this summer & I can’t wait to shop at Sephora! Especially for NARS products! (;
I’d loooove a garden! But I have an unfortunate “talent” at killing most plants, so that probably won’t happen any time soon.
I need to pick up a second cat harness. I feel guilty taking out just one cat…the one left behind looks so sad and disappointed.
xoxo from Switzerland 🙂
Already ready for the Fall!
lol, i love that he runs a circuit in excitement and anticipation, happy tabs

Two slices of toasted bread + sauteed red bell peppers with garlic + a slice of pepperjack cheese = my favorite sandwich!
Don’t have a garden haha thanks for the giveaway!
No garden, more of a gloss type rather than lipstick.
Women likes honesty and men judges beauty, that’s why men lie and women wear makeup. 😉
Have a nice day!!!
I have an amazing garden this year! I tore out half the sod in my backyard and put in tomatoes, strawberries, broccoli (which are getting huge!), romaine lettuce and a raspberry bush!
My Saturday morning: baking… in heels… to the Born this Way album!

The last lipstick I wore was NYX Diva. 🙂
I’ve never had a garden and I’m actually glad. My mom bought be a cactus and an aloe plant a few years ago for my birthday. Both are fairly hearty plants so she figured I could handle it. Let me tell you, a dead cactus just deflates like a balloon when it dies. I was so embarrassed.

Hi Karen!
These days I wear Avon in coquelicot a lot on my lips.
thank you!
My dog always does the same thing when he knows he is going on a walk. It’s so funny how excited he gets!
If i had room for it I would love a garden!
Yes! I’ve been in a few parades. I’m in a car club and we always participate in them. 🙂
I’m kind of hungry right now!

The last lipstick I wore was MAC Bust Out! from the Surf, Baby! collection. I just got it in the mail yesterday 🙂
My current favorite lipstick is Mac Hot Tahiti…!
Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Elise. Love!
Believe it or not, my boyfriend currently tends to the garden. His specialty is growing avocados!
I just wore the Nars matte lipstick in carthage last night. I love it!
Soo cute what Tabs does! My dogs come running when they hear me pick up my keys, because of course they assume they are always invited along where ever we are going 🙂
thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite kind of sandwich is one I’ve sworn by since I was about nine — honey, peanut butter, raisins, chopped green olives and crumbled bacon. Delish! (Though it sounds really questionable!)
i want to be in a parade!
Spread the word, this is an amazing beauty site! xo
Revlon Pink Pout is my new fav….
I last wore Vegas volt lipstick.
I’ve never found a lipstick I loved, but I’m a really big fan of COBigelow’s Mentha Lip Tint gloss– I’m rocking Violet Mint ((I almost typed Violent Mint, btw!))
i love rimmel airy fairy. 😀
I love gardens, but I live in an apartment so I can’t have one .
My fave sandwich is french bread with hummus, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and peppered turkey.
No garden for me!! Too much work’
Best sammie ever… turkey, bacon, and swiss with ranch dressing in place of mayo. Toasted, of course.
I like my little piece of nature in the middle of the city. It’s a well-loved jungle with all sorts of pretty flowers but rugged enough to provide homes for god’s little creatures 🙂 And don’t tell Tabs, but we run a very prickly (and delicious) Japanese berry bush around the edges to discourages our local cats from munching on our feathered friends. That and for some reason I really dislike accidentally grabbing pooh 🙂 To make up for it they get plenty of petting love at our front door!
Shopping the Ideeli red sale!
This reminds me to repot my basil.
I haven’t been in a parade but I did attend the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC and of course that year it rained! Go figure 🙂
Have a great weekend!
I love Sephora!!! When I get home and look at the black and white bag with the red tissue paper I am transported to my happy place. I like to leave my purchase in the bag for a couple of days on my bedroom dresser. That way I can look at it everyday.
I’ve never had a garden because I live in a small apartment in the city but I would like to someday!
Aw, I love the Tabs story. My cat comes running when I turn on the bathroom sink.
Yes, I have a garden, and I love it! It’s filled with salvias and lily of the niles and succulents and clovers (which most people say are weeds but I love clovers). Thanks for all the great posts, Karen, they always brighten my day!
When I was a tiny little girl my grandad took me and my sister to the Indian Heritage parade. We got to join the parade and walk with them. I was really excited because Miss India smiled at me!
I’m not good at houseplants but I have many flowers outside. I love gardening, I think I get it from both of my grandmothers but our mosquitos are so bad this year I haven’t been able to do much outside:(
I live in a house that basically sits on a bed of sand. This is unfortunately due to the dry Australian heat and fierce sun, lack of good soil and money to do something about it (6th year Uni student here… am I avoiding the real world? Possibly.) However, I am looking forward to finally getting a full time job so I can move into a nice place -with- a nice little garden!! How wonderful it would be! ^__^
No garden (I’d kill everything and I’m a little lazy), but I love Farmers Markets. Close enough, right? Have a great weekend!
Garden galore! Except mine has to be in pots on my porch! Gotta love Southern CA!
I’m moving soon and my new house has a garden, but I don’t think I’ll be able to plant anything fun in it because there are peacocks in the neighborhood.
Enjoying my three day weekend! First get all the chores done and then relax.
I would love to manage my own garden for vegetables and pretty flowers. I can’t deal with bugs though.
The weather is finally getting better! YAY
I love ur blog! 😀
Gotta love three day weekends.
trying a new hair treatment today! eek! wish me luck 🙂

I do have a backyard, albeit covered in concrete. I did just get a planter of baby lettuce to put in my windowsill though!
I’ve never had a garden, but I’m thinking of creating a potted herb garden on my balcony this summer!
cats are the best.
I love that you walk your cat outside! A little strange but awesome lol
Here painting my nails, and found a dupe for Essie mint apple color at target yesterday for $2 and I’m in love!
The last lipstick I wore was Mac’s Shy Girl listick. I am hoping to buy Mac’s Angel lipstick soon.

Summer’s almost here! But finals are here!! This is a bittersweet feeeeling!
I really want an iced vanilla latte right now….
I just discovered your blog! I love your reviews!
My kitty Hammy says MEOW MEOW!
Tried on MAC Impassioned, trying to figure out if i can pull it off
I wish I had a green thumb!
I am trying to convince myself to do some work (either research or housework related), but I just got a new issue of Allure in the mail, so it is a losing battle 🙂
I have been in a parade 🙂 My elementary school had an after school cheerleading club and we learned a few cheers (no acrobats) and performed them at the La Palma Days parade. Fun memories.
Clinique Butter Shines. <3
The last lipstick I wore was Revlon’s Rose Velvet.
The year that I got married and moved into my home, I tilled and planted a bulb garden. I planted 400 bulbs…tulips, grape hyacinths and crocus. Now, 25 years later, I still see the tiny crocus and hyacinths peeking out of the snow in March and it makes my heart sing.
I slept in this morning, totally lol Haven’t done that for a while
I’m guilty of buying way too much makeup and watching really bad reality TV shows…
If you haven’t tried Orly’s “Rage” nail polish, you totally should! It’s this beautiful metallic effect that looks beautiful on toes with some strappy sandals!
I have a laser pointer for my cat that has a little clip attached (sort of a key ring). If he even hears me pick it up he’ll come running and start looking for the little red dot.
I’m SUPER loving “Sun Blonde” from MAC’s Surf, Baby! !! It’s been on my lids for the past two days with copperplate in the crease… loving it.
shu uemura rouge unlimited supreme shine OR520
im a newbie and have been secretly following your website for around a month 😀 i love it soooo much and get to learn so many things. thank you! 🙂
last lipstick i bought was mac ever hip (bought a backup)!
This morning, my dog got onto my bed and used my stomach as a pillow, right when she lied down, I couldn’t breath. It was so funny. And she was shocked how panicked I was from waking up and not being able to breath.
I’ve been freaking out about getting the Orly Cosmic FX collection, I’ve been trying to get them for a while now.
i think your blog has turned me into a makeup fiend…!
yup! we have a little garden on our balcony with a fish pond! 🙂
Toasted honey wheat bread + peanut butter + sliced strawberries = a yummy breakfast/snack
i hate gardening
Yesterday I straightened my hair. I love it, but with this weather, I know it won’t last. Sigh.

Tabs sounds so cute. Thanks for the giveaway!
I think my favorite sandwich right now is PB & golden raisins on a toasted Eggo waffle. The PB fills in all the divets on one side & the ones on the other hold the raisins well.
Also, Eggo waffles make amazing Nutella sandwiches, for the same reason as the PB.
OMG I’m so stoked for the new Benefit mascara!!

I went shopping to Sephora last week for the first time, in Paris! 🙂 I live in Belgium, no Sephora’s there 🙁 , but last week I finally went on holiday to Paris (loved it by the way !!!) to shop in Sephora (and do/see some other things to of course!).
It was heaven.
🙁 Just didn’t have enough money to buy everything I wanted… (spent most of my money on the trip lol)
🙂 But it still was lots of fun 🙂
I want to go back, like; RIGHT NOW !!!!!
😉
I’ve had a garden, and I have a garden right now! Basil, tomatoes, pepper, garlic, potatoes, radishes, cucumber, snow peas, and sugar snap peas. Can’t wait until it’s ready for harvest!
Have a wonderful weekend! I’m actually going to go clip some Basil from my garden right now 🙂

No garden for me, although I do have a cactus plant. 😀 Last lipstick I wore was Pink Please from Maybelline’s Color Sensational line – I’m so sad that that shade is discontinued now. ):
We just put in our garden and when I went to water it today, there was a little animal scurrying through the high grass making cute sounds! Dunno what it was though.
Enjoying the nice long weekend!!!
I’ve officially started summer!

I would love to have a garden. We grow a few herbs in our windowsill, but we don’t have much space.
My all time favorite nail polish is Dark side of the moon by Deborah Lippmann!!!
I have a garden! It’s on my balcony, This summer, there’s sweet peas, lettuce, purple basil, garlic chives, tomatoes, baby bell peppers, radishes, lavender and carrots. Everything has been grown by seed, which is actually a lot easier than I expected.
Perhaps one day I will own a house that will not be bought for its’ size, but for it’s comfort, where I can hang my clothes to dry outside in the sunny, but slightly windy weather and where I can grow my own “organic” fruit and vegetables. Sometimes, I wish I could grow my own “natural” cosmetics, and all for FREE! Well—almost. 🙂
I’m contemplating about moving to San Francisco. It would be an awesome place to raise my sons. Also ran ito you oneday and say”What a small world.”
I’m chopping off 7 inches of my hair today to celebrate the coming of summer. Yay!

I love Tabs! Hes the most adorable cat ever! Anyways, I’m loving Mac’s careblend powder 🙂
I love these giveaways! Thanks for having them 😀
The last time I was in a parade was in high school. I was on the same flag twirling squad as Wendy Williams and we were the two tallest so we always stood right next to each other. “How you Doin’??”
sandwich: place circles of thinly sliced hard boiled egg on fresh piece of crusty bread; pile on a large dollop of mayonnaise (if you can find a Polish one, they’re the best for this); sprinkle on tons of chopped green onion; eat it open-faced

I love MAC. Just had a long makeup application at their counter at Macy’s and got the best treatment and advice ever. The new thing I learned is to not used foundation all over my face. I can skip my forehead and just focus around the nose to get a more put together look.
I made mango juice today…and i thought of you, Karen haha
Happy Saturday!! Getting ready to take my 4 year old son to the driving range to practice his golf swing! I currently have a garden that I started all from seeds! I’m growing: strawberries, mixed green lettuce, collard greens, carrots, beets, brussel sprouts, zucchini ! Love it
I adopted a cat last month – the first thing he does in the morning is ‘happy paws’. He closes his eyes in concentration and goes to town- it looks like he’s swimming the English Channel. It’s too cute!

Last night, while creating my ultimate Sephora wish list, that you can only upload 60 items to your cart in any one order. What the heck, amiright? I mean, fine if you want to stop me from spending MORE than the $1300 that was in there already that’s your prerogative Sephora, I just thought, you know, you’d let me get what I wanted.
…Not that I was going to order it. In a dreamland, perhaps.
Today is a rainy day and I love it! After I post this I’m going to run in it and play lol. Enjoy your weekend 🙂
The last lipstick I wore was some cheap-o neon pink for an 80’s party. I mostly stick to glosses, because I haven’t found any in my price range that don’t dry my lips out and make them flaky. I’m keeping an eye out from your posts though, for something that I just have to have!
Rained in weekend for me !
you are beautiful karen!
Latest lipstick obsession is MAC Ravishing! 🙂

Nope, I’ve never had a garden. I kill plants actually. I don’t know how, but if it isn’t bamboo, I kill it. 🙂
My favourite lipstick right now is my Revlon ColorBurst in Coral. I’m obsessed with corals right now and this color is so divine!!
I just had some greek yogurt with flaxseed meal and almonds! I don’t own any lipsticks but am hoping to purchase my first soon….Have a great weekend!

My daughter will be turning 5 on Monday. We went to her school to pick up an enrollment packet on Fri for kinder… I was crying! Just the thought of her going to school made me sad 🙁 she told me don’t be sad mama. Then my 3 yr old said mama i’m gonna miss my sissy, I lost it! She’s such a picky eater i’m going to make her lunch everyday & bring it to her lol good thing her school is a minute away! If she does not like the texture of something she’ll gag & throw up. Anyway, the last lipstick I wore was MAC hibiscus. My fav lately has been everhip I get so many compliments!
I always try to have a garden of some kind. This year we are getting a late start but will be putting in peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, tomatoes, okra and watermelon. I also always keep a potted herb garden too. I am currently wearing Chanel Boy – my big summer beauty splurge.
i’m currently growing basil, tomatoes, and an avocado.
I love your blog! I especially appreciate that you post really clear pictures and swatches. Keep up the good work! 🙂 I would love to have a garden, but I can’t because I live in an apartment and I don’t really have a yard. My favorite kind of sandwich is a cucumber and cream cheese sandwich with the crusts cut off, and the last lipstick I wore was Maybelline’s Born With It. <3
Still in bed and it’s pass noon, thinking about a mac and cheese hamburger… Ugh I’d go make one now but I’m just so lazy today!
Train ride got interesting when Jack Sparrow came on board. He sat across from me!
I was able to buy a 10 piece brush set with a magnetic clutch to hold your brushes for sale at costco for only 23 dollars!
They have a kabuki, stippling brush, angled blush brush, concealer, pointed dome foundation brush, and a bunch of eye shadow brushes as well!!
Hi ;
My latest favorite Lipglossiping is nude by
Korres
I’ve just started following your blog and I truly enjoy it. You seem very down to earth. You have picqued my interest in that mascara, can’t wait until it comes out in July.
I don’t have a garden, but my mom is trying to cultivate one. There’s just something really unappealing (not to mention boring) to me when it comes to plants haha
I just purchased Hibiscus lipstick and strange potion lipglass from the surf baby collection. I normally hate lipglasses…but these two looked nice layered together and I don’t have,any dupes of either in my collection so why not?!
i love daffodilss
I had no idea you could really take a cat on a walk with a harness, I’ve actually never seen that. Ah, you learn something new everyday…
I love these Sephora giveaways so often!
The last lipstick I wore was pumpkin spice by nyx and I was actually in the veterans day parade we had in my hometown because i was on the colorguard my freshman year of high school!
The last lipstick I wore was Mac Mehr
I’m so excited… I can’t wait until August when I move! YAY!

I’ve tried many times to have a garden. I’ve finally had to accept the fact that I have a black thumb.
I Love orchids 🙂
Yay!!
I hope to move to Florence, Italy soon!
i love spring!
Hey Karen! I do have a garden… and a cat! He’s the exact copy of Tabs, but he’s only 5 months old 🙂 So soon he should discover the garden, and enjoy it! (yes, the first time he was in the garden it was because he fell out the window!! (1rst floor, no harm, but lots of fear).
My vegetable garden is EXPLODING! I may have enough squash and tomtoes to feed half our state!
The last lipstick I wore was Rimmel’s Moisture Renew Lipstick in “Spotlight Beige.” =)

I have never had a garden. I cant even keep an African Violet alive! They are supposed to be really easy to keep alive, so I couldn’t imagine trying to keep an entire garden alive!
I can only seem to grow and nearly kill 1 rosemary bush…
Me, me! Pick me, pick me! Happy Memorial Day Weekend, Karen! 🙂
I scored so much makeup at the CVS clearance sale…..I save over $50 on my purchases!!!! Lots of the Sally Hansen HD Polishes!

I grew up on a farm, so we had plenty of gardens. Oddly enough, though, I am not a big fan of most of what comes from a garden. My dad made me take a bite out of a dirty tomato when I was a kid. I don’t think it helped, haha. Gardens are a lot of hard work. I’m not sure many know just how much work it takes to keep a garden productive.
Love your blog!!!
Kittehs are the best and they are supreme. You are fortunate your kitteh allows you to walk it and should be honored to have this duty. You should also feel fortune being given the opportunity to feed and clean up his treasure box each day.
Have a wonderful momorial weekend
Thinking about all Veterans including my grandfather in WWii and my hubby in Desert Storm! I’m thankful for them all. God bless every one of them.
Love lazy Saturdays at home!

i don’t really like lipsticks so much, i’m more of a gloss/balm kinda-girl
Almost summer!

I accidentally picked up the wrong drink at Starbucks… boo. Haha drinking a hot chocolate instead of a soy chai latte, boo.
I just came back from a trip abroad (bulgaria) and I loved the gardens i saw in the mountain village we stayed at. I want to move there and grow tulips! I also meet a super friendly cat that followed me around a bit.

Still, makeup forever. <3

summer’s right around the corner!
I was in a parade in high school, when I was in the marching band. We got eggs thrown at us…..:( It wasn’t fun.
Sephora is my new favorite store. I have spent WAY too much money there in the last few months!
My dog does the happy run before walks too! He just runs around the living room though, rather than the whole house.

I think garden gnomes are adorable. I tried Revlon Soft Nude today-pretty, but not sure it’s for me. One time, i was going to be in a parade when i was a kid, but it was super duper hot outside, i got sick, peed my pants, and vomited. So, yeah-no parade for me that day.
last lipstick was mac viva glam 4
Ohhh been having a hell of a time the past few day! Blah, life is just not going so well at the moment, so it’s good to hear happy things from others!

Is this really random?
10 hour work day (-.-)*
my favorite sandwich would have to be a classic PB & J, you can’t go wrong.. and the last lipstick I wore was Revlon Very Cherry during a girls night on the town 😉
i heart sephora. a lot!
I love a lot of different sandwiches but I really enjoy a good BLT on toasted Italian bread with copious amounts of mayo, salt and pepper and fresh tomatoes from our garden. We are growing tomatoes, bell peppers and herbs.
I don’t like wearing lipstick because the smell is terrible. I’m using lipstain most of the time and my favas are posietint and benetint. Hope i will get chachatint soon!!! Can’t wait to try it <3
Last lipstick worn was a NARS matte !
The last lipstick I wore was MAC Ravishing
I’ve never had a garden but I just recently starting growing herbs and tomatoes. They’re actually still alive after a month!
I took my dog Penny to the vet today– turns out she has a staph infection! 🙁 but they gave her a shot and now I’m giving ger Benadryl so she gets all better! I hate it when she’s not feeling her best, but I’m glad its a holiday weekend that I can be home with her for 3 days!

Lol…2day we had a kindergarten “graduation party” for my daughter and 2 of her friends. Us moms rented one of those huge inflatable jumping-around playgrounds.

I do have a garden in the backyard. My favourites are the tomatoes, blueberries, peaches and herbs. I adore being able to start cooking a meal, think “I need some thyme,” and then just go outside and get some.
The last lipstick I wore was nude delight by Rimmel 🙂
I just hosted a party for the first time in a looong time!
I love your blog! 🙂
I bought a straw hat today to kick off the summer!
We also take our kitties out for walks on a harness! Two sit nice for getting it put on, but the third one gets so hyper and excited that he can’t stop running around the house.
I love how you constantly have giveaways. 🙂
Happy Sunday !
I just purchased some stunning palettes from inglot, can’t wait to use them.
I wore MAC ravishing lipstick with petting pink lip conditioner today. It was a pretty coral-pink.

HI!

Next week is my LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL! SO EXCITED.

Last listpick I wore was Ever Hip by MAC with Revlon papya gloss over it! <3
In grade school, we went to a parade every year. I hated it, as it was held at a time of year when it was always cold and rainy.
Happy Saturday. The only lipstick that I have & I only wear it once in a while is Nars. Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
Oops! I meant happy Sunday! 🙂
I have been in a parade! 🙂
That Tabs story is so sweet! Love your giveaways Karen. 🙂
I love your Tabs stories. My Patches has the same coloring as Tabs, although she’s about half his size (she’s a petite kitty).
I would love to have a garden, but I don’t think it would work for me. I can’t even keep my plants and flowers alive!!! Lol
Workin’ on a Sunday. But can’t complain, had an awesome Friday and Saturday just enjoying quality city-time with friends.
Yes, I was in a parade… for the BICENTENNIAL!!!
Oh gosh the last lipstick…hmmmmm….I think it was Echo by NYX. It was part of a nude lip set I got from Haute Look. I also pick up the red lip set they had. Nice colors and an inexpensive what to build up my lipsticks. I am more a lip gloss girl but trying to wear lipstick more. Since I’m bumming it today I’m not wearing jack lol!!
New reader of your blog coming on to say you’re great!
I was just at Sephora last night! After 15 minutes and $75, I came out with a few new products to try…..can’t wait to see how they perform!
No matter how much I moisturise beforehand my lips also dry out whenever I wear lipstick -boo!
I grew up on a farm and we had a huge garden, but now I live in an apartment-style condo, so no garden for me!
i love your blog so much! and yes, I have had a garden. Keyword: HAD. Im not a very good gardener… 🙂
Hubby and I went to see Bridesmaids last night. Loved it!! Have you seen it?
Just found out an Inglot store opened right by my house yesterday! Yay!!! Like I need more makeup…
The only garden i have it a flower garden…..the bulbs are slightly coming up, but with our hot and cold weather going on they seem to be confused. HAHAHA
I’m loving my bobbi brown makeup….luv luv the pot rouges ^^
I’d love to be enter in the giveaway. Thanks!

My last lipstick was Lancome CD in Pale Lip! Love it!!

Revlon Color Burst Lipstick: SOFT NUDE
I finally got around to giving myself a pedicure this weekend. I’m wearing Zoya Crystal, & I love it!
I am addicted to The Colbert Report. <3 Mr. Colbert
happy sunday!
My favorite fancy sandwich is fresh mozzarella with basil (no tomatoes because i’m not a fan of those). My favorite every-day sandwich is peanut butter with fresh fruit instead of jelly. It’s not as sweet that way, and not as dry.
yes please! 🙂
I was just in a parade two weeks ago! Go marching band!
The last lipstick I wore was NYX in Doll. Such a happy colour!
What a cute story! I didn’t know cats did a circuit, too. Dogs do it any time they get excited.
Before I became an adult beauty addict lol, I used to do face painting as a kid. My mother is an accomplished artist, so naturally I started out young with a flair for artistry of any kind. And then faces became my ultimate canvas. I started out doing face painting for home theatrical skits/plays on myself and my friends when I was a real young kid, then later on I painted faces FOR the kiddies at office picnics. I preferred doing full face painting like a Tiger / Lion or Elvira/Bride of Frankenstein type ghoul, but at family functions I had to keep the designs simple. Early on in life I thought I would end up being a beautician or hair stylist, but my parents discouraged that and lead me towards a different career path. I couldn’t shake the beauty urge, and my current career allowed me to splurge (hey that rhymed lol), so reason why I probably became a beauty addict in my own corner of the world 🙂
I can only imagine Tabs looking so adorable while you’re walking him. I cannot wait until my kitties get bigger and I’ll definitely try walking them. 😀
Birthday Suite from Rimmel (I think it’s a Lasting Finish), a beautiful brownish nude (swatched… on my lips, against my yellow-toned skin, it’s a wonderful caramellish color).
My man wanted me to post that he thinks I’m more beautiful today than when we met. :* :* :*
Aw, gotta love Tabs!! My dog does a similar thing. When he sees (or hears) me putting my tennis shoes on and getting his leash, he rushes to me and begins barking like crazy. But as soon as I try to put the leash around his head, he has to run around the house and continue giving the neighbors a headache!
I tried having a garden and it kinda failed lol… fear of creepy crawlies kept me away from tending to the vegetation XD
The last lipstick I wore was Mac Captive, mixed with some Vaseline for a glossy sheer stained look 🙂

Oh my gosh, so cute! Did you train Tabs to want to go out for a walk, or did he always voluntarily go outside since he used to be an outdoor cat? I got my cat a harness but he freaks out outside!
i wish it would stop raining …
I’d really like some Dior Addict lippie in Bobo!
I have the nastiest sinus infection right now. I can’t smell anything!
Can’t wait for my Surf Baby items!

I’ve never had a garden, but always imagined a I’d enjoy one when I get the time one day when the kids are a little older! 🙂 Until then, I’ll just have to enjoy a garden in a bottle with some lovely perfumes.
i was once in the tournament of roses parade… hahaha i got to hold the banner in front of the EPIC honda float with the dragon :p it was an interesting experience walking behind award winning show horses :p THANKS KAREN! :]

This twin’s mom needs a serious makeover….HELP…
I won an apple pie in grade school for guessing the correct number of jellybeans in a jar. Because we didn’t know who actually made the pie, we refused to eat it.

Lately I’ve been loving the clinique chubby sticks, a little bit of color and super moisturizing…perfect for summer!

I just swatched the YSL sheer candy lipsticks today at sephora and came home with #4- pomegranate. The packaging and color were so pretty I couldn’t resist even with the ridiculous price tag.
Today I wore a new mineral lipstick by ELF cosmetics called Runway Pink and I loved it. Super cute and super cheap! Happy Memorial Day!
The last lipstick I wore was NYX Diamond Sparkle in Sparkling Red. I’ve gotta say, I’m a little disappointed in the pigment (or lack thereof) in this range but they’re still nice 🙂
