I literally just climbed out of bed, walked down the hallway to my office, plopped down in my chair, and no more than two seconds later, el jefe hopped in my lap and demanded that I get to work, “MEOW!” [read: ASAP!], with the first order of business being 15 minutes of petting.
So here I am trying to type “giod mborning” with 20 pounds of tabby draped over my forearms…
For the record, not easy to do.
Not much going on today. All I want to do is take it easy, watch some TV, maybe go to a movie and play with the new Urban Decay Vice Palette.
I’ve also been wanting to take a walk around downtown Novato with my camera, so I may do that this afternoon. It’s a quaint little shopping area with some cute retail landscaping, like hanging flower baskets and planters on windowsills. I haven’t taken a walking tour with my camera in a while, and I’ve got an itchy shutter finger. 🙂
Hope you’re having a good weekend so far. Don’t forget to enter this weekend’s Sephora eCard giveaway before you jet.

I just picked up my first nude lipstick…I’m really not usually a fan of a nude lip look, but I’m trying it out. To be safe, I just picked up a cheap NYX lipstick, but I actually really love it! I got it in the shade Summer of Love and it feels SO good. Definitely need to pick up more NYX for only four bucks a pop!

Powder blush — I find cream really hard to use for some reason!
Love the new layout. 🙂
Abbi says
I’ve heard rumors that the Vice palette is just essentially old shades that are re-named. Thoughts on this? Don’t want to spend the money if the shades really aren’t all that different…
Emi at Project Swatch says
I had mimosas at breakfast, yum!

Tay says
Brown brown brown!…for years I’ve loved coating my bed and surroundings in the shade of chocolate! And even better other vibrante hues accent it oh so well
Rikki says
Sigh, I really don’t like it when hearing people that have no experience with personally being deaf (your deaf bff or cousin doesn’t count) try to tell me what I can and can’t do and that I’m not deaf because I hear things very well occasionally and ayeeeeee.
And I finally got 1,000 views on a makeup video in less than a week for the first time since july. finally.
Jan T. says

Currently sporting China Glaze Velvet Bow on my toes. It’s a lovely blue-based burgandy that is nice & vampy! Loving the cooler temps we have had for the last few days. Looks like they will continue through next week as well! 70’s are a perfect temp for me – cool enough for long sleeves but you don’t need a jacket! Your relaxed Saturday sounds great! I am loving the changes to your blog as well!
raina99 says
Love the new look on the blog!
Rahaf says
I like Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Queen. It’s so bright and beautiful.
Carla says
The most recent lipgloss I’m really loving is Femme Couture lip luster in Sahara Rose. It’s like MAC’s club eyeshadow or Too Faced Cosmetics Label Whore eyeshadow but in a lipgloss!
Natasha says
Love the new look for your blog! Very modern and chic, although the cat silhouette at the bottom is a tad underfed….
Just got a cool little product at Target — elf Primer/Sealer for $3; it’s an eyeshadow primer at one end and an eyeliner sealer at the other… if this works, then my travel bag has suddenly gotten much lighter!
Anu says
Hi Karen, will you be getting the new Armani Fall 2012 eyeliner pencils to review?
Christy O says
I just realised today that doughnuts are glorious.
Nichole says
The new Urban Decay palette is so gorgeous! I have so much eye shadow already. Urban Decays palettes seem to last forever for me. I haven’t made a dent in my Book of Shadows IV or my Naked 2!
Caroline says
My first high end lipstick is chanel coco rouge shine sari deau. I love the shade but for the price, I personally prefer the cheaper products like Mac or else try another high end brand of lipstick.

Essie Scarlett oHara on my toes and chartreuse bananas- Al Dente!!
Mandy says
New website is easy on the eyes!

Mallory F says
Sadly, I moved recently and I couldn’t bring my cat with me at that time. She’s staying with my mom and sister. Anyway, when I woke up in the morning she would just run to the kitchen and meow her head off. She loves food. Just like me! Lol. I miss her so much. Hope you have a good weekend!

I’m wearing Essie It’s Genius on my toes 🙂
Pam says
I just discovered Revlon Lip Butters. I wish I could try the UK exclusive color in Macaroon.

Clara N. says
i like ripe bananas.
Sunny @ Mostly Sunny says
I’m wearing Illamasqua Swinger on my toes! Love this shade 🙂
Tina says
I love fried bananas topped with vanilla ice cream. so good.
Denise says
The last lipstick I fell in love with was Revlon’s Colorburst Soft Rose. I’ve had it a while but didn’t use it much. Not sure why, it’s a perfect lip color for me. Especially for the transition time into fall.
Andrea says
OMG, Karen I got home from work last night and my boyfriend had made this crazy backlit wall mount for my nail polish. I’m freaking out! It’s so cool. I’m so stoked on it!
Ceci says
Happy Saturdays, everyone! I’m trying jojoba oil as a moisturizer.
Stephanie Y says
Green bananas – most def.
Jenn says
Love sephora giveaways! I’m still in love with the viva glam gaga 2 lipstick, and that nude wonder woman one that came out last summer.
Jenny says
I didn’t do any swimming this summer! Too busy with work and lab. *sigh* Oh well. Enjoy that Vice palette! I think if I were to win (fat chance, but still!) I would use the money toward that (or maybe the Smoked palette…). Have a great weekend! 😀
Jen says
I prefer powder blush over cream, easier to apply with brushes, don’t have to get all messy with sticking your fingers into the pot.
jane says
i like the new look of your site. it looks spiffy! 🙂
Lynn says
I really love the banner! and I love how the ampersand is a cat too!
Liz says
I can’t wait to buy some new makeup brushes!
Rita says
I wish we had Sephora!
alex says
love sephora! Need some moisturizer/night treatment for combination/sensitive skin.
Katie says
The last lipstick I fell in love with was totally unexpected – I was trying to order MAC Yung Rapunxel (I love purple lipstick and Azealia Banks, so it seemed like a match made in heaven) and threw in Mehr because I’d heard good things about it. YR got backordered (still no idea if I’ll ever get it ;_;) but Mehr came a few days ago, and I’m surprised by how nice it looks! I was a little scared of trying a blue-based pink, but it has a lot of brown and somehow looks mostly natural while also standing out.
Amanda says
I love ripe bananas. Never understood people who don’t like any spots on their bananas.
Lydia L says
The color nail polish I have on my toes at-this-very-second is……”UTOPIAN TURQUOISE!” from YSL and it is one of the PRETTIEST nail polishes I have ever owned…..it is!!!! It’s simply STUNNING……..and the color lasts for weeks with a high gloss finish.
RJ says
I’m wearing OPI Vampsterdam on my toes! and I love green bananas!! Hope you have a great weekend… LOVE your blog!
Lorri Thomas says
Bananas should be juuuuuust ripe enough that they are not bitter. I hate when they get mushy at all. Blech. XD lol
Nina says
I prefer powder blush, but I am starting to use cream bushes more. Maybe my taste will change:)
Chrystal says
I love using powder blushes and have never given cream blushes a try… I think I’ll probably give in and get one already!:)
Jane says
I like ripe bananas.
Yogirl says
Bananas must be yellow but without any brown spots, if I use blush (not really often) it must be powder, just bought some amazing blush from Bobbi Brown.
And of course congratulations to the new look of the blog. It is modern, cool and still really funny 🙂
E says
Powder blush. And I’ve got Essie’s “Lacquered Up” on my toes.
varsha says
Baby has an ear infection..Boo..dull saturday here..sniff sniff..Have a good shopping Karen n Tabby 🙂

My favorite lipstick is Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy! Currently my duvet is a light blue one by Style & Co., but I’m planning to switch it out to my fall duvet…a chocolate brown and cream one by Roxy 🙂
Kayla says
I’d love me a vice palette 🙂 hope you had a good week, Karen! I’m loving the new layout!

yuri says
im really liking the new layout.
layla says
I’m wearing a M&S nailpolish called aubergine on my toes and have white flowers stamped on them using a Konad nail plate (M57). I have just gotten one of the Konad nail plates and have been going into a nail stamping frenzy every since! lol. Not sure why it took me so long to give them a try. Do try them out if you haven’t!
Pooja says
Love the new layout 🙂
I’m really loving revlon’s new cream blushes, they aren’t very pigmented but add such a new flush of color to my cheeks.
Deborah says
I am in SUPER love with this new layout. The pictures are so shiny!
Julia says
My current lipstick obsession is Chanel’s Rouge Coco Shine in Boy. It’s such a pretty color.
AmyE says
We swam ALL.SUMMER.LONG. In our pool, at local ponds, in the ocean. I don’t think I’ve ever spent so much time in the water during the summer, ever!
Love the blog’s new look.
bruna louise says

Tracy W. says

Bunny says
I’m wearing antibiotic cream on my toe, ouch! And some green socks.
Crystal C. says
I don’t think I’ve really gotten into or found a lipstick I’ve really loved but I do LOVE lipgloss..now only two brands (e.l.f. & bath & body works). As of lately I’m getting back into my makeup obsession..been watching lots of videos & checking reviews on products, etc..found you in the process. hehe
Christin says
Green bananas ♥
Allison Rabbit says
I like powder blush! My oily skin breaks cream formulas down. 🙁
Brooke says
The last lipstick I fell in love with was Laura Mercier’s Mistress – the red lip that Joan wears on Mad Men. I LOVE it!
Alison says
Bananas: ripe with just a couple little brown spots 🙂
meghan says

Just decided I like matte finish nail polish.
Khalilah says
I really love the NARS matte velvet lip pencil in Cruella :). I’m in need of a pedicure- doing colour tryouts for my upcoming winter wedding :):). Have a great day!
Susie says
I like my bananas to be a yellow-green. I usually don’t buy bananas though because they only stay that color/level of ripeness for a day. I buy them when they are super green though.
AG says
I love the “cats at Sephora” pictures you’ve been posting lately! The mister and I are hosting a costume party tonight, and I’m rushing around like a mad woman cleaning everything in sight and setting up decorations. It’s the first big party we’ve ever hosted so I hope it goes well!
courtnie says
just learned how to do some cool nail polish tricks!! and stretched my ears to 1/2 inch.. yay!
Farrah Merza says
I cannot WAIT till the leaves change colour and the weather is cool enough to rock out my favourite boots! Love your blog 🙂
katheel says
Bananas? Still a bit green near the stem, with no spots on the skin — so just slightly underripe. Once they start getting spotty, I’ll only eat them as banana bread or in smoothies. Peel ’em, freeze ’em, blend ’em with some frozen berries and silken tofu? YUM!
MJ says
Love the new blog look!
Michelle L says
I wish I had 20 pounds of tabby draped on my arm. Mine’s only 14!
PS says
I really like my Smashbox lipstick in posy pink!
Have a great weekend everyone.
Judy says
I didn’t go to the beach nearly enough… and now summer’s gone 🙁
BethC says
Hi Karen! I am really enjoying your blog! As a lifelong makeup fiend and crazy cat lady, 4 cats have allowed me to be their owner >^..^<, I really enjoy all of your posts and musings. I particularly enjoy your Unsung Heroes series!
I tend to go with a more neutral mouth with a MAC lipglass/plushglass (Fulfilled, Ample Pink and Spite are current faves), but I am really loving MAC Capricious lustre lipstick. The color is beautiful, but not too vibrant for everyday. I also like the way it works with so many makeup palettes. It is a nice rose with some peachy-gold to it. It also looks nice with my yellow understone skin (I am part Pinay). It takes a lot for me to fall in love with a lipstick, but this one does it…as has NARS Dolce Vita.
Georgette says
It’s my birthday today! This would be a great gift! 🙂
Jilly says
I’m enjoying your Blog, email updates, and your ethnic beauty!! it’s fun… as life should be <3 Jilly
Heather N King says
My absolute favorite foundation right now is Urban Decay Naked Skin. I wear shade 7.0.
Stephanie C says
To go to Starbucks today or not hmmm
maggie mae says
I have butter London Trout Pout on my toes
Xochil says
I like green bananas, for their tartness. But I also really like ripe, and super ripe bananas for banana bread.
Karen says
Watching my handsome husband putting together bathroom cabinets on this very hot Saturday afternoon.
Jenny says
Just finished making 72 cupcakes. Waiting for them to cool before starting the frosting!
Cailyn says
Hi 🙂 I love your blog!!! It’s amazayn 🙂 I’m a directioner lol fun fact.. I have a twenty pound kitty 🙂 her name is Millie 🙂 she’s cute… Kind of 🙂 well okay so I’m entered? Awesome! Thank you 🙂
BeckBeck says
I have a black and white bedspread – we upgraded to a queen size bed when we moved at the beginning of the summer and suddenly realized that all of our bedding was full size, oops! Luckily, the new place is around the corner from a Marshalls. Got the set with the bedspread, bed skirt, shams, and even two small ornamental pillows for $60!
Shauna says
I went to see Florence + the Machine last night…. and wow. What an amazing show.
chibipeach says
I’ve got those Sally Hansen nail strips on my toes. Love it!

Thinking about some of the amazing things I could get at Sephora with this prize!
Rachel says
I’ve been wearing MAC Inez all week – finally got my hands on it! Loved the color and my 93 year old grandma’s name is Inez, so I had to have it! 😉
Kate & Zena says
I hope Tabs isn’t giving you a hard time. 🙂
Ester Y says
powder blush!! cream brushes frightens me a bit..makes me feel like it would break me out!
Alison says
Meow! Tabs really is demanding! The last lipstick I fell in love with was Hourglass icon.
Dani says
Oh man, been working in lab all day – I’m a grad student. I can’t wait for my samples to dry down so I can go home…
My toenails have Revlon Red on them, and my fingernails some gold glitter by Sinful Colors, but that will change this evening over a glass of wine with my kitties…
Chanelle says
I normally go for powder blush because it’s just easier, but I’ve been loving cream blush lately. The main problem I have with cream blush is the fact that my skin turns bright red upon getting rubbed at all, so when I’m rubbing the blush in I can’t tell what brightness on my face is the blush and what is just my skin getting irritated from the rubbing!
Tiffany says
the swatches of the new UD palette have me drooling!!!!
Becky says
I want to win!!
saffron says
I’m dying to see that winter Lorac chocolate palette; the pro palette blew me away so seriously that I can’t wait to try more of their offerings!
becca says
If I win, I’m getting a Guerlain Rouge Laque thingie. 😀
Katherine says
My bedspread is cream… kind of a risky move since my husband is basically the adult version of Pig Pen, but I love how big it makes the room feel.
Sophie says
I like yellow bananas. My mom said it was first solid food when I was a baby. 😉
Amber says
Love the new design! I just put ChG Ruby Red Pumps on my toes.
Jennifer Bass says
used my evolution revolution lipglass today, I forgot how beautiful it is! it’s definitely going back into my lipgloss rotation 🙂
Icequeen81 says
I felt in love with nars Terre de Feu. is a lovely shade I saw online
Daniella says
My bedspread is a light sage color with little dainty flowers, Shabby Chic for Target. I usually don’t like flowered things but I like my bedspread. And the only swimming I got this summer was at my best friends brothers swimming pool when she was house sitting. The pool has a slide and two waterfalls. Its like a hotel pool, totally amazing.
jenn s. says
Hey Karen. Happy weekend to you and Tabs! Currently, I am sporting Essie’s “Boxer Shorts” on my toes. 🙂 I love purple polishes year round, but soon it’ll be time to switch over to something darker and less summery than Boxer Shorts. As for blushes, I feel like I am more competent at applying powder blushes than cream blushes. I feel like my cream blush attempts just kind of “plop” on and stay in a blob, regardless of how little I try to use. My powder blushes seem to glide on seamlessly and effortlessly. I need some practice time with my cream blushes, so I don’t end up looking like a circus clown, LOL.
denise says
Hopefully I win this giveaway one day 😉
Lilly says
Tgif!
Vanessa F says
Love the new Tarte lipsticks. They last forever!
Tiffanie says
The last lipstick I fell in love with was Guerlain Garconne. Swoon!
Natalia says
I love my Chanel Rouge Allure in 65 Insolente!
Ash Johnson says
I love bananas when they are almost all brown and rotten. My mom eats them when they are still green and crunchy.
Lauren says
I’ve been wearing a lot of OPI lately…I accidentally bought the Justin Bieber silver color, but it looks really good, LOL.

I can’t wait for fall/winter because then I feel that wearing dark nail polish will totally be justified!
AmyD says
i am SO loving nars tinted moisturizer! it’s so perfect – dewy, light coverage, and QUICK to apply!
lesleyk says
I’m intimidated by cream blush as I lack blending skills. I much prefer powder blush.
GILLIAN says
Did you know about the e.l.f. Limited Edition Disney Villainous Villains Makeup Books that came out yesterday (9/15/12) at Walgreens? So cute!

I’m running the RnR half tomorrow (Sunday)! My 10th one! And I just had my 3rd baby 4 months ago. Yes, I’m bragging. 🙂
Carol says
I prefer cream blush. I have dry skin so I appreciate the dewiness and extra bit of moisture in cream blush. And I like that I can just slap it on with my fingers if I’m not in the mood for dealing with brushes.
Mikaiah says
Hi Karen! What’s your thoughts on BB Cream? I’m seeing it everywhere I go. Anyways, I love the new look. I think I need a new look as well, so the sephora GC would be nice. Enjoy your day!
Wynell says
I love powder blush

I love coral makeup! 🙂
Teresa says
Today, the vet told me I had to put Molly, my sweet 9 year old Tabby, on a diet. She is not pleased to say the least.
Anna says
Bananas: just at the cusp between green and ripe! For me, too ripe bananas are terrible 🙁 even if they’re just fully yellow without any brown spots yet. Call me picky.
Lori says
I get bananas as green as I can find them because they ripen WAY too fast and I have to throw them out before the whole bunch can be eaten.
megan says
i like your website renovation 🙂

Jennifer says
I’m pretty obsessed with my bedroom… White and Blue and French inspired all over. What would be the equivalent of french inspired makeup? Something bardot inspired? Chanel? Nude lips, smokey eyes?
Maybe that’s my Sunday right there! Enjoy yours!
Anna says
I have OPI’s Manicurist of Seville on my toesies!
Monique says
I had a dream that featured me and my new Clarisonic Mia… it’s providence!

I hope Autumn comes soon so that I can give Chanel Rivoli the love it deserves.
My bedspread is a creamy beige with little silver and gold details (like little glitter).
Powder blush, because some times cream is harder to work with.
On my toes I’m wearing OPI’s Teenage Dream.
I went simming in a friend’s house pool.
And I’d rather have ripe bananas (green make my teeth ache).
There.
Lisa G. L. says

I like bananas green, my husband likes them mushy so it works out really well. I have one kitty on my lap as I type this and one staring at me to feed her. They have food, but it isn’t fresh. They are very spoiled and I wouldn’t have it any other way 🙂

Hubby’s at work so I’m getting major kitty snuggles from “his” cat this morning.

christine says
I always have some variation of dark red on my toes because I don’t feel “me” otherwise. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Soo says
I definitely prefer powder blush! maybe it’s because I haven’t quite gotten the hang of using cream blush that I don’t like it as much. the last lipstick I fell in love with was Guerlain Nahema. I don’t think it’s particularly flattering on me, but I love the formula
Dawn says
My toes are painted with Essie Van d’Go right now. Great summer color!
Darlene says
I like bananas a little green. I just Love the appearance & layout of your blog btw. Absolutely adorable!
Mary says
MAC Viva Glam I is the last lipstick I fell in love with, it’s the perfect matte red for me. It’s not so bright that I look pin-up, but not so dark that I can’t wear it with a dramatic eye.
Jessie says
My toes are wearing jeweltones, skittles style! It’s like a fall rainbow.
Savannah says
I think I’m going to go to the mall today to go buy a pair of teal flats.

Katrin says
I did not do any swimming because I am so scared of deep water. It is terrible!

I really don’t have a preference on cream or powder blush. For me it just depends on what my cheeks are doing (dry vs oily). Have a good one, Karen!
Gail says
Broke down and bought the MAC Jungle Camouflage face kit beacuse it looked so good on you – I said i was never buying anymore MAC quads and would only depot to make my own – Have so many Chanel ones – but the size of this and the blush can be used for a bronzer – perfect for travel – not lets see when I visit my friend in Nov – if I don’t take more than this and one blush – it was worth it – LOL
Stephanie says
I just bought love test lipstick by sephora it is similar to viva glam nicki by mac and I looove it!
BB says
Wow look at the new blog design!
jen. says
I just got the MUFE lipstick sample with my last Sephora order… I need a gift card so I can buy the full size! (Unfortunately, the whole lipstick fell apart and got smushed. It’s still usable but super messy now. Boo.)
Rebecca says
I just bought a new Laura Mercier Creme Smooth lipstick in Dulce de Leche – I love it! It’s a great neutral – not too brown, not too pink, not too light – and the formula is creamy-satiny but not sticky and it stays put and lasts a long time. I also got a big sample of Oil Free Supreme foundation and I’m very impressed! It’s hard to find an oil-free foundation that’s not super-matte; this one has a natural finish without being greasy or too wet.
Delina says
I had read on totalbeauty.com that the best brown lipstick was Maybellines “Crazy for Coffee” and it is so creamy and a pretty color and wear it all the time!
Jaa Maurer says

Janelle W says
I need to find a good topcoat to make my mani last longer…or maybe I should just wear gloves to do the dishes.
Julie says
I’m in love with Clarins’s Instant Smooth Crystal lip balms!
Jenna N. says
I bought the NARS Tinted Moisturizer based on your review. I LOVE IT! I need to use MAC Minerailze Skin Finish Natural pressed powder to take down the shine though, but I don’t mind, it helps it last!
Rebecca says
Have you heard about the new Urban Decay Smoked Liners set? I know what I’ll be asking for this Christmas!
Danielle says
I tend to do both cream and powder blush – makes the color last all day.
Liz says
We have banana trees in our back yard. The little burros they produce can be a bit bland when they are 100% ripe, so I like them best when they’re right on the cusp – ripe enough to be sweet, but with a little tang of the green still on them.
Bee Luzada says
It would be nice to win! So want to try stuff out from Sephora! ^_^
sweeks1980 says
Right now I’m wearing Zoya Cynthia (a very dark blue – it’s almost black when worn alone) under Zoya Kotori (a very sparkly blue) on my toes.

Amy D. says
I just got back from workin’ on my fitness. Here’s my witness… Sorry, I’m in a mood……….
Iris says
I recently started using blush and I think I’d prefer powder as it’s easier to work with and layer with as much or as little as desired.
I strongly like ripe, yellow bananas more.
Cheers!
Aarti says
Ripe bananas of course!
Neeshie says
I walked so much yesterday my blisters have blisters!
Sara says

Mireya says
Last lipstick I fell in love with was MAC Viva Glam VI. The perfect color for me… I wear it every day.
Joy says
I’m a sucker for Clinique’s Black Honey. On your recommendation, I also got the Milani dup for when the black honey gloss is too much shine and the almost-lipstick would melt in my pocket.
Janelle says
I don’t use lipstick, but I do use lipliner (MUFE Aqua Liner) and lip gloss (Clinique superbalm moisturizing gloss).
happy says
I prefer the dependability of a cream blush but the look of powder.
Kristina says
Oh I wish I had gotten in some swimming this summer, but c’est la vie. My gym has a pool so maybe I’ll get up the courage to use it.

Diana says
Just bought my first mineral makeup. Lets see how it goes… 🙂
Jasmine says
I’m finding that the Chanel blush shade I have isn’t really all the pigmented. I have tried many brushes with it and I really have to work them in to pick up any color. I also find that their eye shadow quads aren’t that pigmented as well. I have the smokey eyes one and a purple one and they don’t really do it for me
Tameko Malone says
I love make up
Katrina says
I recently tried the new Revlon Just Bitten lip stains – the colour payoff was great but they really aren’t moisturizing at all! Alas, a HG lip stain still awaits.
mn says
Congrats on the new blog look. Give Tabs lots of scratches from me.

janey says
The first lipstick I fell in love with was Clinique’s Blackberry Stain, back in 1988. It was the perfect deep purple. Alas, it’s no longer made and I miss it every winter when I start sporting darker lip shades.
Madelynn says
I keep getting all of my friends to become nail polish fanatics. I’m quite proud.

Stephanie says
I’ve always wanted to love cream blushes, but I can never get them to look right. Plus I like to wear powder foundation, so it doesn’t always work. So I’m a powder blush kinda gal.

Love my Benefit Some kinda gorgous. It’s light, covers and is great for 40 + skin. And it handles Texas heat! Shout out from the south to win, woohoo!
Lyndsay says
I’ve lately become completely obsessed with Nars. It is the only makeup I will put on my face. I’ve been scoping out their new Andy Warhol collection, and I must say it looks divine. Here’s to hoping I win that gift card so I can purchase a few items (not that I won’t anyway, but 50 dollars will help!)

Rozae says
Currently I hv green sheets, however I should change it when fall comes.
Hillary Frank says
My bedspread is black with white and purple birds…and a lot of cat fur.
