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.

Tabs would be a great Sephora consultant!
Hi, Karen, I’m a new mom of a beautiful baby boy. I stumbled onto your blog a couple weeks ago during one of my late night feedings and have been reading this blog ever since. I love your reviews and especially the MAC Unsung Heroes entries.
Loved your tweet about not letting anyone take your joy!
I would really like to win this
I always do my own pedis. I’m better at keeping the polish off my own cuticles than anyone else!
It has been a pretty rough week. Blah.
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!
i prefer to paint my own toe nailes
Don’t you love when cats startle you awake? Hubby is a veteran and sleeps on high alert so I’m often woken by him jumping out of bed to deal with a fresh hairball.
My favorite pair of pajamas are red and white with pigs all over them. They make me excited for fall and winter.
Prefer to paint my own toenails. I always paint them a shade of red that depends on the season.
ok Tabs, send me some luck. I would really like to win this time. I’m in the last part of my third trimester and well, this girl NEEDS a pick-me-up! thanks for the chance Karen. x
Ohh there is so much fall makeup that I want right now!
Hah! I love My Cat From Hell. My cat, however, looks confused and goes into the other room when it’s on.
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……. LOL
Getting depressed that I have to turn on the lights before 8 pm now.
Man, I’d never let someone else touch my toenails. I paint them myself.
Im going to get Banana Pudding. Ive been craving it.
I am going to do a different eyeshadow look today, I want to get out of my comfort zone. Gotta leave my naked 2 alone for once 😛
No fall here yet, it was hot and steamy this past week!
I think somebody asked about my bunny gravatar last week, it’s a picture from cute overload, I wish it were my bunny(I don’t have one) but I would never get anything done because I’d be constantly watching it’s cuteness!
I definitely prefer to get my toes professionally done, but I haven’t really found a good place here so I’ve been doing them by myself. It’s nice to know that I will soon wear only close-toed shoes so that I can slack off again LOL

I can see and feel fall – cold mornings, leaves falling.
I’ve actually never gotten a professional pedicure!
My Cat From Hell is a great show!
I’m about to have a tuna sandwich.
After years of living in “sun country,” I’ve forgotten that there even is a fall season and that it comes early here in WY; brrr this morning!
Although our leaves are not changing yet, the temps are getting lower so fall is definitely in the air! Bring on the hot chocolate!!
Trying to decide what color to paint my nails.
I bought a new brush cleaner today. Dr, Bronner’s Mild Soap. I heard it was amazing so I’m trying it out. I’m kind of excited 😀
Our leaves are not changing yet but our days are getting cooler. Bring on the hot chocolate!
Haha oh my goodness! I can’t believe Tabs scared you guys like that! 😛 Smart kitty.
I like getting my toenails painted at a nail place but I usually do it myself.
Today is the first cool day here in Chicago and I hope fall is coming!
I just saw the new Prabal Gurung for Sally Hansen nail colors for Spring ’13 on the NYFW runway – amazing!
This week was my first week back to school. I’m glad its over and I’m looking forward to some football tomorrow!
I’ve never seen that show but it sounds hilarious!
Tweeted!

pumpkin spice lattes for fall! <3
I do my own hair
We finally have summer in Seattle – in September!
I love your blog! Hope I win this gift card!
Omigod! My mouth was hanging open reading this! Sigh of relief.. then LOL! I guess Tabs is revealing more talent/ability!
LOL, your story cracked me up. : )
I like to paint my own toenails. It forces me to sit still for at least a half-hour. Have only had one pedicure–the night before my wedding–and I didn’t enjoy it at all.
No fall here…or not yet, they promised fall temperatures by the end of the week!
I’ve been looking for signs of Fall for months; Can’t wait for pumpkin everything and crisp sunny days!
I’m afraid to paint my toenails anymore, since I’m in the water a lot it chips off super fast….
After one bad, expensive cutafter I moved back by the guy who did my hair the last time I lived in DC I found Brennan. Love him!
I always do my own pedicures! I feel weird about feet in general, but especially someone else touching mine!
Hey Bunny, drop me your address and I will mail you a cute, *coughevilcough* mini lop!
We have a bunny named Marshmallow. She snort/growls and scratches my hub and I, but she loves the kids. Too bad I’m usually the one to take care of her!
Watching Hell’s Kitchen season one on DVD and there is no closed captioning option. What a shame.
I do my own hair
My favorite nightshirt is a daffy duck one I got it NYC when I was twelve. It is now 17 years old and is sooo soft, but has more than a few little holes in it!
I rearranged my room yesterday and the main reason I chose to is because my cats, Kush & Khalid, like to use me as a stepping stool to get to the window while I sleep at night. They’re a couple of real characters 😂
I’m with Tabs. Jackson Galaxy is great! We watch him every Saturday.
We have leaves on the ground already here :'( but I am about to head to my local sephora to try to find one of the new illamasqua polish 🙂
I like to do my own nails. I have so many Zoya nail polishes to choose from and saves me money!
I love doing my own nails-fingers and toes. It’s a little inexpensive treat that I do for myself each week. Plus, it’s an excuse to buy lots of nail polish!
The last time I wore a cowboy hat was at the Calgary Stampede for the Garth Brooks concert!! YAHOO!!!
I do my own nails – read too many skin infection horror stories in Epidemiology class! The leaves are starting to turn here in upstate NY, but the temp is still pretty high.
Nope, there are no signs of fall here on Oahu! I go get my toenails done by a professional! I really need to go. Hopefully sometime soon! Have a great weekend!!!
I haven’t had a mani/pedi in years – I finally cleared up the infections and fungus from the last time and am scared now!
Ha, that’s so crazy that you mentioned My Cat From Hell. That’s what I’m watching right now.
Anywho, I always do my own nails. I don’t like people touching my feet and they’re usually too rough with my cuticles. And I’ve got more polish colors anyway.
happy weekend!
I really like your evaluations of products & the tips to go with them. Plus I think my abyssinian cat, Katrina has become a big fan of Tabs.
I’m longing for fall.
The Ironman triathalon is going by my house this weekend. These people are so incredibly fit!
I only get my toes professionally done – about every two weeks. But I have noticed that I take my own nail polish. I like that I can fix any chips at home.
Off to my 4th and final wedding of the season! Sigh. Weddings are making me broke!
Ahh I hope I win!!! I would use the gift card to get the new Dior Nude Glowing liquid foundation, I have been drooling over it like CRAZY!
Also, my feet are too sensitive to get professionally done, pedicures make me squirm like a madman!
My favorite pajamas are t-shirt/nightgown thing my MIL gave me that has a cat on it and says “Cats Meow.” I thought it was pretty ridiculous when I got it, but oh man is it comfortable!
my are ugly feet so i don’t want people to look at them. plus i don’t think i can handle people touching them and not squirm for being tickled.
still hotter than the sun here!
I Love My Cat From Hell! That show is addictive, I was watching it until 2 am the last time it was on. My wonderful cat Bailey used to be a little bit of a handful, but he really calmed down his last couple of years. he just passed away after 11 wonderful years. I miss you baby.
Signs of fall equals football season starting and my husband mysteriously disappearing to go play madden 2013!
I just watched the episode! Love this show, but must be a scary sound to wake up to!
No signs of fall yet, but I’m looking!
I can tell fall is approaching because of the angle of the sunset and the gradually crisper temperature in the AM. Looove the fall!
Looking forward to fall toes. Love the deep colors coming out. Hopefully the weather will follow soon. Too hot in Texas now.
Watching Beauty’s Best on QVC right now!
It’s kinda crazy — we had a huge thunderstorm last night, and today, BOOM – the temperature dropped 10 degrees
i like painting my own toenails-i’m too ticklish for a pro pedicure! haha
Signs of fall are around here. Our weather is starting to get colder and days shorter. There’s been a few red and gold leaves around.
You have a smart kitteh 😀
Vests on men: a black vest over a tshirt can look really cute!
so annoyed with today tbh :S
Hi Karen, I hope you and tabs have a good weekend. I love autumn, it is my most favorite time of the year, and this year my birthday falls on thanksgiving!
A wonderful gal named India has been taking care of my hair for 4 years. Love her!
I just realized I left my UD Naked palette in a rental car in another state! fail. Could this giveaway be an answer to my prayers lol
我很饿ï¼Which means I am very hungry :<
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!!
Luv Autumn and winter . . . The cold winds . . . The snow . . . The best time of the year but not for my skin tho’. Dont mind it but.
It doesn’t feel like fall yet, but it has been getting darker earlier, which I’m sad about.
I live in Florida, so definitely no signs of fall. It’s just hotter than ever!
I tried to watch My Cat From Hell before…and it was always so depressing! The owners were always doing something wrong it seemed. Did you see the one where they guy shot nerf darts at his cat?! Well of course the cat is going to have behavioral problems! Ugh!
I love my konad stamping kit, you should try it too
Hello! i came across you’re blog on The Top 50 Makeup Blogs! I started to browse around you’re blog! so far i love what i see! I’m a 18 year old girl who just started her freshmen year of college!! How exciting It is so far! BUT sadly I still don’t know yet what exactly i want to be… (SAD FACE) but I do know that I LOVE makeup! and i do loveeeee talking about it! then it dawned on me. is blogging a career? even if it isn’t i would want to create my own makeup blog someday! 🙂 oh! I also notice that you were giving away a $50 Sephora Gift card! i was going to leave a comment regardless but what the heck! I want to enter too!
soooo! signs of fall yet?! umm nope! it’s dreadfully hot and humid here still! It feels really yucky!! no bueno! But I Sure am looking forward for that cool fall!
So glad its the weekend – lost a friend and my other friends dog and another friends cat – Guess thats my 3 for now
I love fall…but it is still hot and humid where I live…hurry cool weather!
One of my neighbor’s trees is starting to turn but it’s too early for that!
I definitely prefer to paint my own toes!
I like to polish my own toes, I wouldn’t want anyone else touching them, YUCK
My favorite pajamas are black and pink striped and my best friend gave them to me!
The leaves are slowly starting to turn here which is exciting because I love fall!
A machete? Interesting choice 🙂 when I was home alone once, I made the very poor choice of watching an episode of MonsterQuest that took place in Ohio (I live in Michigan). I was so scared that I spent the rest of the night holding the dog on a leash and a butcher knife.
It’s still as hot and humid as ever down here, but there’s been a couple evenings where I could feel a very slight fall coolness in the air.
Were starting to see the signs of fall in Canada already. I’ve seen leaves falling already !
I do my own mani & pedi. I love fall…craving some Entenmann’s Cheese filled Crumb Coffee Cake!!
Leaves are changing. If only the weather would cool down a bit, I would actually enjoy being outside to see the colors.
Doesn’t everyone have a favorite pair of pajamas!?
Abundanceoferica.blogspot.ca
A machete! Holy moly! Tabs better watch out.
Haha what’s Tabs’s favourite tv show?
I guess the sign for fall is the hot dry weather for me. Fire season for SoCal. >>
Gotta love them kitties!!!! 🙂
Haha, fun story! Once my TV (when I still had one) turned on by itself… well that or there was a ghost! Got scared to death!
There’s no sign of fall here in San Diego, it’s still sunny and HOT!

My tummy’s full of warm, yummy goodness and I’m sleepy…
You are too funny Karen..
I luv fall, my favorite time of year. Can’t wait for egg nog lattes and pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks. Yum!
Have a great weekend!
It feels a lot like fall here! It’s going to be in the mid 70’s all weekend. My significant other and his dad have been out doing yard work. I can’t wait for Halloween!
I wish I knew if there were signs of fall outside, but I’ve been too sick to leave the house for over a week 🙁 From what I can see from my window, though, it’s still pretty sunny and the leaves are still on the trees.
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. 🙂
you know who loves free giftcards to Sephora? me! and my homedog, Olllie 🙂
I love my Tuffy so very, very much!
No signs of fall here in Santa Barbara, just hot weather!
Hey Karen I have this crazy ting, I love nail polish and I even have a nail polish rack at home fill with all of my favorite colors. But ask me what colors are my nails right no!!! NOTHING!! I never have time to paint them and not even that after you paint them you have to wait for them to wait and I never have time!!! If you have any suggestion or tips so i can finally get to use my nail polishes I’ll appreciated it!! HAHAH thanks for listening!! HUGS XOXO Fe
I always do my own toes, but it’d be nice to get a pedicure sometime.

Hilarious story, Karen! The real cat from hell is giving me the evil eye as I write this. I guess I should step away from the computer and fill his food bowl…again.
I just got my first purple lipstick and I love it!
Yay for Saturday!
I like to paint my own toenails!
The last time I wore a cowboy hat was last month in Whistler, B.C. It was so hot out I just needed extra protection from the sun. My best friend had her stag there it was so much fun! If you are in the Vancouver area during the summer I highly recommend visiting Whistler 🙂
Men who wear vests belong in the Village People. Not a good look at all. Not crazy about vests for women either. JMO…:)
I love your blog!
Ooooo man, after seeing your swatches of Lorac Pro Palette, i cant decide which ones I want anymore!! Lorac Unzipped vs Lorac Pro, what do you think?
i find it easiest to do my own pedicures….
I don’t know why but I’d rather do my own manis & pedis and I’m not afraid to cut my hair either.
i actually dont have a favorite pair of pajamas!
I noticed the first sign of fall today. The trees in the back yard are just shedding leaves like crazy. Yesterday I swear there wasn’t a single leaf on the ground. Now it’s covered with them.
First signs of fall have made their way to El Paso, tx. Yesteday’s high was 98 and today the high is 79 with rain. I just can’t wait to make hot chocolate, wear scarfs and do fall makeup. Thanks for all the tips, tricks and reviews.

Ps. Told my BF about the machete he thought that was the coolest thing. He is thinking of trading the baseball bat right next to our bed for a machete!
After watching My Cat From Hell I consider my kitty to be pretty well behaved in comparison! Lucky me!
I change my nail color almost every day and every bottle comes from Sephora!!
The weather is showing signs of fall… Not diggin it. 🙁
hahaha i do have a favorite pair of pjs, but they really should be retired! fall for me means eating fresh from the orchard honeycrisp apples. i look foward to it every year. 🙂
The leaves are falling off the trees, but I’m pretty sure it’s because the trees are all dying due to drought…
I find it very appealing when my husband wears a vest and basket ball shorts 🙂
A’MEN! I HAVE BEEN FROM HELL AND BACK THIS WEEK AND KNEW ONCE I GOT GROUNDED TABS AND YOU WOULD BE THERE WITH SOMETHING FREE! I did not realize I was using all caps, but I am too lazy to go fix it, sorry! I really want to try Every color of the Sephora Jumbo pencils– Loooovvvee!
the only time I really get my nails or toes done is for a special occasion or when I want something I can’t do myself, i.e. gel or a french manicure
Love that you love cats! Wish I could have one but my parents won’t let me wehh 🙁
What’s your favourite drugstore makeup brand?
i had a mani/pedi while on vacation for the first time in 2 years! I wish i had more time for them
The show My Cat from Hell is so interesting. I’m very happy my cat isn’t from hell, instead she’s more like a dog. I have never heard her hiss!
I like to do my own pedi and mani. 🙂 The manicurist actually made me bleed doing my cuticles so I don’t really like to go.
I prefer doing my own nails, although I love an occasional foot soak, scrub, and massage!
Fall is finally starting to show up here!
Pumpkin spice lattes, college football and the new holiday 2012 makeup palettes are a few of my favorite things about fall. And my birthday is Wednesday!! 😀
I prefer to get my nails done, but I never have time to go to the salon.
I’m getting my hair cut next weekend.
Hello,
I do prefer to get pedi’s in a salon, but I can’t afford to, so I more often than not do my own. As far as my manicures- I prefer to do those. You pay all this $ + Tip, and half the time I do a much better job than the Tech. Eh.
no signs of fall yet in l.a.
I prefer to do my own nails. It’s kind of my creative outlet PLUS its a whole lot cheaper!
I do my own pedicures. I find it relaxing, and I’m also paranoid about bacteria and infections from salons.
Plus, you know, I’m a broke grad student.
Oh I love that show! Tabs is a very smart kitty 🙂
I am so tired of being tired.
Survived first week of grad school! @_@
I have had the same hairdresser since I was 10 years old. I plan my haircuts around school breaks! Last year I had to get my hair cut at school so went to someone knew, and it was terrible!
I would do my own pedicures if I could, but I am way too uncoordinated!
I love hummus.
I need new makeup to have some fun with for fall!
I give myself a pedi each week. It’s something I make sure I make time to do for myself, and it makes me feel so much better. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway.
Tabs!
I need to do my nails before I leave for England!! I know I won’t want to spend time on it while I’m there …

It’s been POURING rain all day today! *sigh* Just an awful way to spend a Saturday.
Oh man I am dealing with the worst afternoon slump n’ grump today, but I love this contest, thank you!
You know, I’ve never actually had a pedicure, but I hope to treat myself to one soon!
No fall yet here in Tokyo : ( I can’t wait. I’m tired of having all my makeup sweat off my face…
I always paint my own nails! I can’t imagine forking over the amount it takes to get my nails done. Plus, the fumes really get to me. I always have to hold my breath past the salons in the mall!
oops, my email was incorrect in last comment
No signs of fall yet here, we’re still having such warm weather
Welcoming fall by wearing layers 🙂
I am an aspring esthetician. Starting school in the fall. I use to be a professional model so i was use to getting my nails and toes done all the time. Now im learning to do them myself and im having so much fun.
Well, spring is coming here in Australia!
————————- My birthday’s on 9/21 & I’d love to use this gift card to treat myself. 😉
Thanks for the chance, Karen!
There’s a chill in the air today in the midwest….but I’m sure summer isn’t over just yet. Probably have a few more 90 degree days left.
i’d love to win!!! 😉
I prefer to have my toenails professionally done, but I usually do them myself to save time and money.
Ugh, no signs of fall yet here in San Diego. It’s been in the high 80’s for most of the summer. I’m loving the heat but I’m so ready for fall.
I’m terrible at painting my own toes, but I usually do it anyway
I’m so excited for OCC lip tars to arrive at Sephora!
I do my own toes. I’m way too cheap to get a pedi most of the time, but once in a while, I spring for it!
It’s a blessing and a curse to live in Hawaii…
I have to do hot + Humid makeup techniques year round!
How does everyone find the texture of the new NARS outlaw blush? The color on mine is beautiful, but im finding I have to build A LOT just to get any color out of it…..maybe i got a dud?
I paint my own toes!

I cannot wait for fall, and I’m so sick of the rain and humidity…especially since it wreaks havoc on my hair and make up!!
I lacquer my own toes, and LOVE My Cat From Hell.
Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for another great giveaway opportunity! 😀
I just started my graduate courses and I’m dreading it already! =(
It’s such a wonderful day today!
Is that the hubster in the pic with Tabs? Great pic!
I love fall!
No signs of fall here yet. Still kinda hot. So ready for fall weather and for the leaves to change colors. So pretty 🙂
I love your blog! And did anyone know u can make ur teeth whiter by scrubbing them with the inside of a banana peel? Lol random but trueee:)
Today’s temps where about 25 degrees cooler than yesterday’s!
I can’t wait to check out the new Chanel RAs!
I can see fall, its on the horizon! It was actually cooler today (80 degrees, no humidity and a breeze). We are off to build a fire on the patio tonight.
I prefer to do my own toenails and I do my hair. I enjoy getting a professional pedicure here and there though.
I could use a boost. I have an obsession with BE and would love some new stuff.
I had my B-day and with have my 20th anniversary this coming week. i would love some new stuff to impress the hubbie.
I have been unemployed for over a year and would love to have a little shopping spree to share with my 2 teens.
thanks for a chance:)
We haven’t seen any signs of fall yet, aside from a few gusts of cold wind.

I’ve never really had my toenails done professionally, except for my mom who worked in the beauty business for years and I have been lucky enough for her to do mine. For free 🙂
hi karen! i just bought the clean and clear spot treatment you recommended.
I’m a diva on a college budget and I just ran out of my Benefit Porefessional. Help a fellow cat-lovin’ sista out! xoxo
We’re definitely starting to see signs of fall here. Temps were in the 80’s today! Which is much better than the 100’s we’ve been having.
Gurrrrl…After not listening to them pretty much since high school I am on such a Blink 182 kick. And I’m almost 30 dang years old. Oh, well…
I did my hair using a pinterest tip and had dinner with a pinterest recipe and eventually ended up here after following some makeup on pinterest. I have a problem!
I cannot wait for the weather to be cooler so I can wear my sweaters! 🙂
I would prefer to get pedicures professionally done, but the upkeep isn’t good for my wallet, so I usually just do them myself!
I’m a beauty addict too! Love your blog Karen!!
Awesome!
Well of course I had to enter, since my husband keeps a machete by the bed too!
Karen, I loved your story about Tabs turning on the TV by himself. Amber can change the channel, but she can’t turn it on by herself yet 😉
I was introduced to your blog by my polish feind best friend…now I read it everyday before work and bed…I’ve put many of your tips to use at every opportunityzl, especially your unsung heros! Thanks
I get my toes professionally done. It’s one of the few things I do to treat myself.
my tabby kitten is getting so big lately T_T i miss the days when i could catch her with one hand and she would nap in my lap… *sigh*
the weather’s been much cooler here! and I’m glad to have the Pumpkin Spice latte back ^~^
Our first day of fall came today! I love Fall so much, it’s just cozy!
Yay! I made it! I always miss out on entering this contest because I’m chasing DS around all weekend (he’s 2!) and by Sunday, I’m fried. Glad I made it this time!
My dogs watch Dog Whisperer on tv – too funny!
Fall is definitely arriving here. It is cooler at night and the leaves on the mulberry tree outside my window are turning yellow.
I want to win!
Love your writing.. Your stories are quite entertaining
Going back to work after being a stay at home Mom for 5 years! I could really use a Sephora fix!
I love Jackson Galaxy!
I have two beautiful black cats (they are really brown because black cats are very rare) that I and my daughter love so much! They are a year and a half apart and the only way we can tell them a part is by their eyes or even easier the color of there collars (red and purple). They make our lives interesting.
I paint my own toenails. I’m a runner; nobody else should get that close to them because they are nasty! 🙂
I prefer painting my own toe nails too. I do the beauty editor cheap thing where I paint haphazardly, go to bed, and remove excess from cuticles in morning shower. 🙂
I cut about a foot of hair off on Thursday and I am loving my sassy short hair! It’s very Elizabeth Taylor in the 50’s, so now I’m looking for the perfect red lipstick.
I paint my own toes. I’m about to do it right now but I can’t decided which color.
I’m not sure that there’s anything better than a professional pedicure, unless it’s a professional massage.
I love fall! So much fun shopping for Halloween decorations!
Summer is officially over and I am sad. I am not looking forward to winter
I can’t wait to try out the new fall collections for Mac!
I had the longest day at work today- so glad I’m home and watching Scrubs on Netflix!
I’m about to fork over a whoooole lot of money at MAC for an upcoming concert series…yay for my face but boo for my wallet!
Thanks for your great tips!
I love fall and I’m loving the bobbi brown uber basics collection for fall. The eyeshadows and lipglosses are amazing!
Loveeee painting my nails myself, especially using awesome dotting tools! I’ve started doing it for all my friends as well 🙂
I like getting my nails professionally done. I have no patience to do it myself.
If I win, I think I’ll be getting that new Mac radiance primer that you’ve posted on recently. P.S.- I love your blog. I check twice daily for new postings!!! Xoxo
I’ve been staring at the Tarte blushes on your website for days now, will be nice if I win and I can get TWO of them 🙂
The trees are just starting to get a little fall color in my neighborhood. So pretty, but it’s too early!
It’s been thunderstorming like crazy this weekend!
The nights are cooler and it gets dark earlier. I’m starting to see Fall produce in the store.
I need some new lipstick!
My favorite nightshirt (which I have on right now) has Grumpy (from the seven dwarves) on the front drinking coffee. The back says “Grumpy before coffee”. Which pretty much sums up mornings for me!
I don’t want fall to come…. Still clinging to summer 🙂 in denial of any signs of fall:)
I agree! I’m not ready for fall as well!
I really hope I win! I want to try some Edward Bess makeup.
I paint my own nails…….toes and fingers, so I can splurge on higher end nail polishes……..hellllouuuu ysl:) It’s all about balance, right? In the end, I think I even save money…
Getting over this viral infection with 2 sick kiddos and husband is rough! Hope out had a better week than mine!
Wait! I want to know why El Hub keeps a machete by the bed.
I love that show! As a proud owner of a stray, the show makes me appreciate my cat even more!
I’ve been wearing NARS Autumn Leaves almost everyday just to convince the weather to change for the colder!
I’m dying for these NYX lipsticks I saw at ulta!!
Officially made it through my first week of college! So happy, so tired.
before you know it, tabs will be hogging the tv remote!
No signs of Autumn yet, but I can’t wait till it gets here! Sweaters, boots, hot drinks, crunching leaves, and the smell of fall in the air… I can see it already (;
What a great breakfast, coffee, cookies and participate in a contest…. would the smoked , Stila’s lipstick, nars blush, ….thanks
Wanted to bake today, I was slowly getting started and then I realized I had no butter! 😛 Typical!
Some guys look pretty darn good in a vest! 😉
That sounds like a scary morning … I don’t know what I would do if that happened to me!
favorite pair of pj’s? yes!!! but they ripped so are now being replaced;)
You and Tabs make me happy 😀
What a wonderful opportunity!!!! I could live in Sephora its like disneyland for me ha I want to swatch everything! 🙂 Hope i win 🙂
I’m too cheap to get my toes done. If I had lots of money, I’d much rather get them to do it. All that bending and reaching is tough!
I haven’t started seeing fall yet… but it’s my favorite season so I’m really excited. I always do my own nails, why pay for someone to do them when I can myself? My mom does my hair 🙂
Can’t wait to move in to our new house(Property virgins) 😉
I love watching My Cat From Hell. I’ve learned a lot of things from Jackson Galaxy. Tabs has good taste when it comes to TV shows.
I’ve just moved into my new place and setting it up is soooo stressful!
Cant wait for the snow to come! 🙂
Looking forward to a nice relaxing lazy Sunday tomorrow!
I get my hair done in Japan Town by the owner at Arty Arty.
The dark lipsticks that all the girls around me are wearing are signs that fall is on the way!
I polish my own toenails because having them done professionally is a luxury I cannot afford right now.
I actually am in a nail polish craze at the moment so Im painting my own nails 🙂
It would be nice to have a spa day today but hey when you have got to make that money to pay them bills, just gotta say until next time.
Fall is already here, I’ve seen leaves change color, a bit silly in the bay area too.
Hi Karen, heading on vacation next Saturday and I cannot wait. I have about a billion things to do before I leave, but instead I am on your blog.
Have a great day!
Even though it has been hot and humid the leaves are starting to fall already.
Fall is coming!
I’m not good at painting my own nails 🙁
I so enjoy watching My Cat From Hell for 2 reasons – 1) I’m fascinated with Jackson’s facial hair designs and 2) the problem cats make me feel so much better about my cats’ issues.
cat daddy
Aaah, one of the highlights of every Sunday, Karen’s giveaway 🙂
Pedicures….the best. When you are lying back and watching someone else do them for you…
No men in vests! Unless it’s a 3 piece suit.
I’ve been eyeing Sephora’s gel mani kit…not sure that I would ever buy it, but it’s fun to imagine!
Heya…its raining like crazy out here and me and my girlfriends had planned to go out and wath a movie,but the rain compelled us to stay indoors,so we have a nail spa party this evening.I love it when when we crack up the silliest jokes and laugh like crazy ppl.
It’s fall like weather here, but it’s just a tease! It’s supposed to warm up again this week (grrrr). Love fall!
pedicures.. definitely.
i wanna win this!been joining forever.this will be my christmas wish. 🙂
I prefer to do my own pedicures, I took the esthetics course in college – partly because I wanted to learn to do these things on my own 😀 did I say that outlud? hehe
I am gonna start my Whole30 diet tomorrow and I hope I will look better after 30 days! (with new makeup from Sephora, I hope :P)
I have a favorite night gown that I have had for nine years now! I got it the summer before third grade at space camp. I have been wearing it ever since! It has heels and powder compacts and mirrors and perfume bottles on it. 🙂
I could really really use a massage right now how about you?!?
It’s still blasting day after day of heat in Taipei. No signs of fall yet, sadly.
I prefer to have my nails done professionally
Thanks again for the awesome giveaway! I love Jackson Galaxy!

Happy Sunday, Ladies!!
Thanks for the great giveaway! And yes, it is chilly here in the mountains!
It was about 100 degrees where I live yesterday. No sign of fall yet but I can’t wait! My boots and Scarves are ready!
Would love to get a pedicure now!
I like to paint my nails myself, thank you very much!
I paint my own nails.. Saves me money & I find it to be therapeutic!
i love pedis! doing my own nails takes so long, and i hate messy nails lol
I’m about to graduate college–what the heck do I do with my life? Or at least . . . what are my next steps?
Anyone know a career that combines art/media with helping others?
I’m currently living in Los Angeles, so no, no signs of fall yet! But I do think this August/September has been noticeably cooler than last year’s.
I love My Cat From Hell.
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 cannot remember the last time I wore a cowboy hat. Have I ever even worn one? I’m not sure but talking about it makes me want to get one now, just to say I have.
Oh I AM READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!!
I love to get pedicures but my wallet doesn’t allow it very often, but I just got a refund check for overpayment on my home owners insurance so i am going to get a manicure and a pedicure :). Thanks for the giveaway.
I do my own toenails, but have the urge to get them professionally done again soon.
I prefer to do my own pedi’s- I’m afraid of getting a fungal infection…
It was my birthday yesterday! so this would be an awesome birthday present! and I prefer to do my own nails! 😀 thanks again!
HI id love to win!
I never get pedicures because I think I can do them better on my own. Plus the one time I got them done the girl pushed my cuticles so much it hurt!!
Hello from Thailand!
I’ve seen many make up gurus are raving about fall/autumn. How cool is that?
We don’t have fall here, let alone real winter.
I’m envious of you guys 😀
Nobody paints my nails as well as I do, I love the idea of getting a manicure or pedicure, but it would chip away after a day, not worth it. Luckily, I love doing my own nails, so it’s fine! 🙂
I am living in NYC and my whole family is in France. And this week end I had the met amazing gift and surprise!!! My sister came to visit……I am just so happy! Thank you G.D.
I’m ready for fall and winter! Bought 2 pairs of boots this week. Usually I get myself one new pair of boots each year but I decided I should probably invest in a decent pair of snow boots too, since my old ones were from 10 years ago!!
Just went to Sephora yesterday and now going back today. Why did I get a credit card? For Sephora.
Im trying to change my style of clothes & make-up this fall as the old is too boring and I have seen many outfits I love & make-up that are really colorful. I won’t to change w/ the season
I hate painting my own toenails, but regular pedicures are a bit expensive.
I would love to buy the YSL Touché Éclat foundation with this gift card. Loving these giveaways. Thanks Tabs 😉
i do my own nails! My birthday is this month so it would be a wonderful present!

I am so intrigued by the Becca Shimmering Perfector. Wah!
Ahahaha! Tabs, you always keep it interesting 🙂
My cat Trevor loves watching MCFH. It’s like reality TV for kitties.
My Cat from Hell has become one of my new favorite shows! 🙂
We are beginning to see signs of fall in Michigan. It’s lovely out.
I just came down with a cold….this stinks!
Do my own pedis-think I do a better job. & it’s hard to find time to go somewhere to get them done . . .
Fall in SoCal? Lol…
So excited I found a foundation that matches my skin and doesn’t break me out! Looking to buy some good brushes to apply them 🙂
Just got back from a bike ride! It’s been so nice this weekend. Maybe we’ll grill tonight! Don’t you just love nice weekend weather?
I successfully resisted the urge to nap today!
But so… sleepy…
Its still hitting 95 degrees here so no signs of fall yet, which is kind of cruddy for me since I can’t deal with the heat at all!
My mom has been the only person to do my hair because she’s a hair stylist at hair cuttery
I commented before but I don’t think it went through since I don’t see my comment. Anyways, I finally saw the show “My Cat from Hell” so now I know who that guy in the pic you posted to this blog is. For a minute I kind of thought he was your hubby, lol.
I’d love to have someone come and do my hair and make up in the morning, especially on a Monday!
My classes start tomorrow! For once I think I’m more excited than dismayed over it.
It’s starting to feel like fall here, which is awesome because our summer was so humid and gross.

Hi Karen, just started following your blog and am loving all the advice and reviews!!
Painting your own toe nails can be tough. For me, it involves getting into some strange contortions (usually reserved only for yoga classes) with the fabled hope of seeing my toes better. But alas – I always inevitably get more polish on my feet than my toes.
I am dying to try the New Urban Decay Foundation. Everyone is raving about it! I really need this! 🙂
It was my birthday this week! Yay! I should be studying for midterms right now…
I am dying to try the New Urban Decay Foundation! Everyone is raving abouit it, this would totally help! 🙂
I’m curious to try the new Naked foundation! Looks like good stuff…
It’s starting to look like fall around here. Nooo! I’m not ready for this!
I’d love to grab a new fragrance with this!
Hope you’re having a great weekend, Karen! 🙂

Fall is my favorite season. I love everything about it. The colorful leaves, Halloween, drinking tea, my husband’s birthday etc. I can’t wait!
The leaves are changing color and starting to fall. I’m sad that summer is over, but fall is my favorite season. I’m excited to dig out my sweaters and boots!
I had two foundation samples lying around—one of Urban Decay Naked Skin, one of Benefit Hello Flawless liquid—and the Benefit totally blew me away. I was thoroughly unimpressed with the UD and I was shocked about it.
It’s sunny with low humidity today here in Nashville, TN. No leaves changing but you can just “feel” Fall arriving!! Yay!!
There is no sign of fall where I live. We still have another month or two of over 90 degree summer
I love your blog. I am hooked to the Nars Tinted moisturiser thanks to your review. Have a nice weekend.
Pineapple juice is yummy.
I think men are cute. In a dorky way.
Hi Karen,
My favorite time of day to stretch is at night right before bed. I find it really helps reduce swelling after a long 12 hr shift on my feet :). Thanks for ur humor and amazing reviews of all the newest beauty products. You are my favorite bedtime reading material!
just finished my first week of college!
Is it too early to be thinking about a nap?
I don’t really wear pj’s. I have two nightgowns but I never wear them. I sleep in boy shorts and a tank top. I find pj pants too hot to wear, nightgowns are annoying and sleeping naked much to scary…what if I had a fire and had to jump out the window naked! Yikes! :>
I’m trying to get in my final summer mani’s before the weather starts turning…at the same time I cannot WAIT for the weather to cool down!!
I’m trying to get in my final summer manis before the weather starts turning…at the same time I cannot WAIT for the weather to cool down!!
We finally had a day below 80 today. Looking forward to enjoying my patio.
Still hot and sunny here in LA. I’m going swimming later, so it definitely doesn’t feel like fall. But I’m excited for the new shows…
And THANK YOU for another awesome contest!!
We had amazing fall weather yesterday! Felt like September!
I slept in until noon. How horrible.
I’ve only gotten a professional pedicure once–but I usually prefer to do them myself. No one can really see my mistakes from that far away anyway 😛

Thanks for the wonderful giveaway. I really want to try the taste amazonian clay blushes:)
Fall is almost here! Seeing a lot of great transitional light sweaters and a gorgeous red lip.
I just received a copy of Jackson Galaxy’s book for my birthday today!
While I prefer to do my own fingernails, I’d rather a professional take care of my feet.
I love Sephora!
I need to start a makeup portfolio ASAP!
I want to win!!
I prefer to get my toes done professionally. Much easier!!
I always want to go for a pedicure but end up doing it myself. People touching my feet sorta freaks me out 🙁

After reading your post about the Azealia “Yung Rapunzel” lipstick – I really want to try it!
no signs of fall here…I wish it would be fall like here, I love sweaters and boots and scarves!
I’m so excited for fall and buying new makeup for fall. The leaves are actually already changing here, and it’s awesome. xx
I’m glad that fall is arriving. Can’t wait to rock deep/dark lip and nail colors!
I love Sephora…I can stay in there all day and play with makeup 🙂
I’m less than $50 away from making VIB this year, so this would be reeeaaalllyyy helpful 😛
Who knew celebrating a 1st birthday could be so exhausting…OMG, I feel like I ran a marathon when I woke up this morning! My baby Jiselle is not a baby anymore
I saw a press release for the Cinderella collection from Sephora and now I find myself constantly checking if maybe it has been released.
Don’t really like Monday’s but my Ravens are on Monday Night Football. Purple nails for tomorrow. : )

I’m so ready for fall to fully take over the Bay. Burgundy is going to rule the season! What color do you think will be a hit for fall?
Fall is definitely here. The weather was PERFECT today…not too hot, and not too cold. I wish I could have stayed outside all day!
Today is the last day of my vacation. I’m driving back home with my boyfriend after a weekend out good food and much college football. Back to the grind tomorrow.
I love My Cat From Hell, and I love Sephora!
Fall is here and the weather is amazing not too cold not too hot just perfect!!
I love a Shellac manicure!!!
Now following on twitter!
A little chilly in the mornings and evenings, and days are getting shorter, but still in the 90s in the afternoons. Can’t swim in the heat of the day, though, because the cool nights mean the pool is COLD!! That’s what early fall is like in Davis.

I go to a salon called Moshi Moshi, and it’s basically the cutest place on Earth.
I fear that my body will no longer have a diuretic response to coffee.
Super obsessed with Starbucks Pumpkin Spice since it came back last week! I probably had it once a day since then! And twice a day this weekend haha! I love Autumn!
i want to win
I just came back from Northern Wisconsin and it’s starting to look/feel like fall up there.
I love watching My Cat From Hell. Jackson gives me hope that my two cats might be able to get along some day.
Fall is my favorite time of year! Boots and jackets weather!!!
Just bought four new lipsticks
Wanting to try NARS Velvet Lip Pencils! They look divine!
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.
We should have a dance-off one of these days for the weekend gift card.
Happy Sunday!
i like doing my own nails =)
I like to do my own toenails cause no one can do them the way i like them but i love getting a fit massage and scrubbing my feet.
I love Essie’s Chinchilly!
I can paint my own toenails just fine but I can never get my feet as smooth as I’d like. So…I do get pedicures.
I’m in Austin, TX and it’s finally cooled down to the low 90’s during the day and mid 60’s at night! It’s not much, but I’ll take it as the first sign of fall. 🙂
Love painting my own nails!!
No fall where I live…just one season year round 🙁 Would love some cooler temps
Thanks for the giveaway 😃 The sun is setting sooner and temps are falling slightly. I can’t wait for fall. The scarfs and boots! Great season
70 degree weather. Loving it!
ughh Sunday is almost over, and it’s getting colder! not ready for the week!!
I’m excited about my most recent purchase from Sephora. I purchased the Makup Artist brush belt set online for $99 valued at $422. I am determined to become a MUA.

Spring time is here in Wellington, NZ. Can’t wait for the summer!
I’ve never had a manicure or pedicure… it seems so easy and cheap to do my own, I can’t see any reason to have it done for me.
It is still super hot here in Southern California =)
i was just recently in the hospital. the nurse came in the room. told me my mother was on the phone and she sounded very upset. sat up- grabbed the phone- ma, are you ok?…… her response:
“the cat sat on the remote and it’s almost time for Wheel! i don’t know how to fix it without you.”
yea
seriously
No signs of fall here, it’s supposed to be hot all week.
I like to get,y toes one professionally when I can!
It’s still pretty warm where I live!
First Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season today – fall is officially here! I like the pampering of a pedicure but I’m usually not happy with the job they do painting my toes.
I love that ‘El Hubs’ keeps a machete by the bed! That’s awesome
I can’t wait for Fall! I love all the warm, cozy colors!
I had a red velvet cupcake this weekend for the first time in ages, and it was delicious!
Not too much to say. I can’t wait to break out the vampy lips for fall!
aw, this weekend went by way too fast! I’d love to go to Sephora and find a new fall scent. All my perfumes are very light and summery!
The sun keeps going down so early 🙁 sad summer is ending but I do love fall!
All of a sudden my cats don’t want to eat their chicken table scraps. Curious.
It’s finally getting chilly here, I’m so excited!
It is finally starting to feel like fall in the mornings however it is still getting really hot during the days here (central PA) thanks so much karen!
No signs of spring here yet.
I’m so sick of the heat!

I’ve never had a pedicure, so I guess I prefer to do them myself! I would like to have a pedicure sometime though!
Looking forward to fall!
I’m excited for pumpkin spice lattes and sweaters.
I don’t like strangers touching my feet (I’m weird, I know), so I always paint my own toenails.
Counting down to birthday number 38!
It’s been pretty cool for summer here, much colder than last year’s weather!
my birthday is in 11 days!! and im wearing pamplona purple on my nails today
i would love to winn! that way i can invest in some theBalm stuff (:
The Dior heated eye lash curler is calling my name. I hear Tabs loves it.
The first seasonal halloween store popped up today, so I guess that means fall is coming!
It just started raining again today. 🙁 Looks like summer’s finally over!
Hi Karen,
I’m building anticipation to see your thoughts on the new MAC Pro Longwear Blushes! In the mean time, I’ll be bingeing on chocolate covered cashews. NOM.
Ooh ooh pick me pick me!!! I am newly obsessed with gel manicures. I’m so rough on my hands and I can finally have a pretty, girly manicure that lasts more than a day! They are AMAZING!
I love getting my nails done
Thanks for doing this giveaway! (:
When I paint my own nails…my left hand looks like a millions bucks!! My right hand….like 2 cents!
I am officially nail polish lopsided!!! ALWAYS!!!
Crazy weather in the southern California desert tonight. Scary drive home from work. Wind, rain, thunder, lightening. Not typical around these parts.
Fall is starting to pop up where I am.
The weather is getting a bit cooler here, but still plenty of hot days.
I think men with vests are spiffy, but you’ll never catch my husband in one. 😛
Help a struggling grad student out!!
Vests on men are awesome, but not if they wear them “ironically”. Stupid hipsters…
I’ve been so productive the whole day.. proud of myself! Yay.
I am watching football when I should really be sleeping. Oh these summer nights! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to be able to cheer myself up with some new make up. 😀
I wanna get some of that Illamasqua Rich Liquid foundation in the white shade to lighten up some of my foundations-yes, I am that pale! Oy.
Have you girls seen Benefit’s new Jetset Holiday kit for 2012? I’m so going to buy that if I win, lol! 🙂
It’s still raining where I live and I loooooove it :))
Some leaves have begun to fall around my house!
Tabs is SO cute behind the Sephora counter !
:::blows on dice::: mama needs a new bottle of Gaga!!!
We went to see Rascal Flatts in concert! I hope you had a nice weekend, too!
I finally had a free Saturday and it was great. I savor weekends so much.
i wanna win soooo bad!
Fall can’t come any sooner.. gahh the humidity!! A girl can only “glisten” so much!!
Please please please – I so need a boost. A trip to Sephora would totally make my week!
I just had my first pumpkin spice latte the other day…hellloooooo fall! 🙂 I do need some new fall lipsticks, and some more Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation….crossing my fingers for the gift card!!
This has literally been the longest Monday of my life! Already counting down the days until the weekend.
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!!!
It´s been ages since I´ve painted my toenails
i think cats are better during the fall
xx
