A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway
Win a $50 eGift card from Sephora

Jackson and Tabs

This morning I awoke to a blood curdling scream!

I bolted straight up in bed when I heard it. “What the hell was that?!”

“I don’t know!” El Hub said, already getting up. “Stay here. Call 911 if I don’t come right back.”

El Hub grabbed a machete he keeps by the bed (yes, a machete) and hurried downstairs.

“What’s going on?!” I shouted after him.

No answer.

“Sweetie? What’s going on?”

I’d thrown off the covers and was sitting up on my knees with my phone in my hands. Then I heard other noises coming from downstairs, quieter sounds, like people laughing?

“It’s okay,” he called back, sounding relieved as he started back up the stairs. “False alarm.”

He stood in the doorway to the bedroom smiling at me. “But it looks like Tabs finally figured out how to turn on the TV.”

I guess he couldn’t wait to start watching the My Cat From Hell marathon I set the Tivo to record, so he decided to chill on the couch and start watching it now.

Or, slightly more likely, he accidentally stepped on the remote control…

The screaming was from a sphinx cat its owners were trying to bathe. 🙂

Tabs just loves watching My Cat From Hell, mostly because of the host, Jackson Galaxy.

He says that Jackson has always been very professional and kind every time they’ve worked together.

Good to know…

I’m gonna go watch the next episode now while I try to calm down… If you haven’t already entered this weekend’s giveaway, it only takes a comment (and for a second entry, a tweet). You could win a $50 eGift card from Sephora.

What folks are saying…

“Hi Karen. Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I won! :O Thank you so much! You, Tabs, and your blog are amazing! Thank you for keeping me updated on all things beauty and more importantly, for keeping me entertained! Keep doing your thing! Thank you again.”
-Jacqueline

“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!”
-Jane

“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. 🙂 I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.”
-Angel

“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)

“Never before have I been so pleased to check my email right before bed!!! Thank you so, so much! I truly enjoy your blog and check it almost daily! Thanks again! This made my night!”
-Melissa, Edmond, OK

“Hi Karen. Thank you so much, I’m so excited, I’ve never won anything before. My name is Hana … I just turned 25 (today is my birthday!) Yay! Thank you.”
-Hana

    My cat should be on My Cat From Hell! She is insane. With my husband and I, she’s sweet and loving (though a bit bitey and snappish when she’s grumpy), but if anyone comes into the house, she FLIPS OUT!! She growls and hisses at everyone, but she won’t just run away – she will stay in the room and just keep growling and yowling at them! Sometimes she’ll get on my lap and hiss at them from across the room. It isn’t just them either – she flips out on us too! She gets SO ANGRY that someone came into her domain, she will attack us for a day or two after they were here! We had a family gathering once with 20 people in our house – she hissed at every piece of furniture for a week and we couldn’t get near her! I need to contact Jackson Galaxy, STAT!

    My hubby and I love My Cat From Hell. Our four kitties, however, don’t really seem to enjoy it. 🙁 We have gotten some great tips from the show though. We now feed our cats via hierarchy/age (which makes our 18 year old, Baby, VERY happy). We also have a devoted cat room with cat trees, toys, beds, etc. But our cats aren’t spoiled or anything…….

    I have yet to see any signs of fall here in Connecticut. Mostly because I have yet to see any girls wearing burgundy lipstick or boys in wing-tipped shoes. I really need this gift card so I can buy a palette from NARS’s new Andy Warhol collection!!

    I do my hair. 😀 My aunt is a beautician, and she’s always done my hair for me since I was born. However, recently I’ve been keeping my hair a lovely shade of neon blue, so it was taking 4-5 hours out of her busy day to do my hair for me, and since I get the family discount I felt bad about taking away from her paid-in-full customers, so I had her show me how to do it myself and where to get the materials. Now I only go see her if I need a haircut, my aquamarine tresses are managed by me. 😀 P.S. for bright/funky hair colors, Pravana is hands down the BEST. Apart from my dark roots growing in, I don’t have to touch up the color for nearly a month. The blue fades from a really deep ocean blue to a lighter turquoise-like blue without getting green or weird-looking. I’ve never had another brand stay in this well. 🙂

    After what seemed like an agonizing year of searching (sarcastic exaggeration)…..I’ve finally found the PERFECT nude nail polish: Wet n’ Wild’s Megalast in “Private Viewing”. It’s the loveliest, creamy, light pink-ish color that perfectly matches my natural nail tone but enhances it for a classier look; it goes on smooth with a flat, wide brush, which I love! PLUS, it was merely $1.92 at Walmart. What a score!! Way to go, WnW!

    I experimented with copper and green eyeshadows today after spotting a makeup look on Google Images – I was actually researching the new limited edition Maybelline Color Tattoos – and it turned out SO GOOD! It got me really excited for Fall – my favorite season ever!! (“Scarf season,” I call it.) To top it off, I’m in the best mood over today coz it is SUCH a GORGEOUS day in Arizona. It’s so rare to catch a cool breeze in the summer. I’m gonna drink in every moment of this great weather and rock out coz the wind gives me really cool, music video hair! Hahaha.

    This has been a great summer…up until 2 weeks ago when I broke my back in a boating accident (Short story: we went over a wake, I went up, the boat went down, I yelled and that was it). Now I’m in a back brace for 3-6 months (depending upon which doc I listen to) and in a lot of pain. I’m trying to look on the upside, which is, at least it wasn’t my mom that was hurt on the ride! And I’m realizing how much my family loves me and takes care of me when I’m in need. I love them!!!

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).
