Greetings, fearless beauty lover! Welcome to another weekend. ๐
So, painted walls. That’s been the highlight of my week. I finally — and I say finally as in FINALLY — made big progress on Project Dining Room. I am now the proud owner of Wythe Blue walls. Next up! — a dining room table, which I hope to have this week.
Yup, no more eating at a coffee table on the floor. I’ve been doing that a long, long time, and let me tell ya, it’s so played out…
In other news, Bond! James Bond. El Hub and I braved long lines and popcorn-related espionage last night to see Skyfall, and it’s right up there with Casino Royale as one of my favorite Bond movies of all time.
I hope you have a few minutes to unwind and recharge your batteries this weekend. In our fast-paced world, where we’re always multitasking, we have to try to find small blocks of time to take off our thinking caps and just veg out for a while. It’s important, you know?
Have a great, great weekend, and I’ll talk to you very soon. Good luck in this weekend’s $50 Sephora eGift card giveaway. Details to enter are just a few inches below.
Now, I’ve got a dining room table to find…

James Bond always, Sean Connery is my favorite.
I am really excited to see Skyfall. I have to wait until my friend comes over Thanksgiving
I where my hair in a classic french braid when I workout! just tried HIIT! Love it!
Oooh, that’s a tough one. I like both Jason Bourne and James Bond, haha!

My favorite pizza has pesto sauce, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, and olives. YUM!
My favorite way of wearing my hair when I work out is all the way up in a ponytail with a headband to keep everything else back! Nothing like lifting weights and having hair poking you in the eye :/
James Bond, always! Can’t wait to see Skyfall!
I want to see Skyfall but have no one to go with. Guess I’ll have to drool over Craig myself. ๐
I’m not a Bond fan, but I adore Jason Bourne (and Matt Damon in general(
I like my pizza with lots of basil and fresh mozz.!
I put my hair up in a ponytail when I exercise ๐
I like mushroom pizza.
Olive and pineapple pizza rocks!
Hoping to take the kids to see Wreck It Ralph…I can’t even remember the last time I saw a “grown-up” movie!
I like my pizza with pepperoni or sausage.
I will not eat pizza with mushrooms, onions, pepperoni, sardines, etc. Yeah, I’m a picky eater.
Ive been so into pizza with bbq sauce, cream cheese and chicken. Yum
I leave my hair loose during exercise. Vegetable toppings are my favorites — meats make the pizza too salty for my tastes.
My hair is too short for a ponytail so I use a headband at the gym. I think women with long hair who wear it down are hilarious.
i live in the northern hemisphere.
my favourite pizza is all dressed veggie, with tomato slices.
Gotta go with Bourne. Mostly because I think Matt Damon was perfectly cast. That scene where he washes her hair. Hot tamales!!!
I love reading about Tabs, he reminds me of my own giant kitty!
thanks for the giveaway! ๐
i just got samples of armani luminous silk and chanel vitalumiere aqua and can’t wait to try them out! lol
have a great weekend and hope you find your table!
I like black olives and mushrooms on my pizza
My hair is quite short, so when I run I either put it in a headband or just leave it loose! And when I go biking, it’s under a helmet, so there’s nothing to worry about.
Recently developed a new hero crush: Judge Dredd!
Happy Saturday! Jason Bourne.
When (if) I work out, my hair is in a ponytail. No fuss!
I like meaty pizzas!
REcently started wearing makeup and I am 39! A gift card would come in real Handy:)
I just picked up the BE Playlist set from the beauty.com f&f sale and am sitting here with outrageously exquisite, colorful makeup and unbrushed hair that is hastily clamped up in a couple giant claw clips and a scarf, lumpy with coils popping out all over the place.
I wish I could say this was an atypical weekend look for me. ๐
I never got into Bond but loved the Bourne movies, really need to see the new one with Jeremy Renner, he’s so nice to look at! ๐
I like to wear my hair up in a ponytail or push back with a headband when I work out
I just recently bought Lorac luster drops (the gold one) and I’ve been obsessed!! It brightens up any look and can be used in a subtle or dramatic way!!
Happy Saturday!! =]
I like pepperoni pizza and im excited to have an extra day off this week!
I pretty much make my hair as unattractive as possible when I work out!
Fighting a cough -_- but the day is beautiful outside :)I #CALove
I’ve been in a bad mood for the past two days… I’m not really sure what to write, hahaha, my bad…
Favorite moisturizer: argan oil, always and forever, worker of miracles.
I don’t have a dining room table. Actually, I don’t have a dining room, either.
I just love pizza! ๐
My favorite pizza has to be Meat Lovers with jalapenos and pineapples!
It’s awesome!
Surprised my fiancรยฉ yesterday with tickets to Skyfall, he’s a HUGE Bond fan and the movie did not disappoint! Good luck with your dining table endeavors Karen! ๐
pizza margherita
Planning on seeing the new James Bond movie this weekend.
james bond . for sure .
Cold weather finally rolling in – it’s scarf and hot tea season!
This would be the icing on the cake for this (hopefully) best weekend ever ๐
I wear my hair in a top knot when I work out. I hate the feel of sweaty hair! Ick!
I live in the Northern Hemisphere, although Im in SoCal haha.
I love Pizza, but ever since trying Chicago Deep dish, I got obsessed with them. But if I’m looking for something on the go, definitely Pizza Hut or CPK.
Thanks for the opportunity I’m a international reader.
My fab pizza are two BBQ chicken and my fab frozen Pizza is ristorante Pollo.
When I work out I wear my hair in a pony tail and wear also e hear band. I have those small flyaway that works on my nerves. So I need to put them in place.
I like my pizza veganรขโฌโรขโฌโI recently discovered that I’m lactose intolerant, and while lactase helps, it’s not foolproof. There’s a place in town that makes great vegan pizza, which works out perfectly for me! I never thought I’d be happy eating fake cheese, but there it is ๐
Jason Borne! Thanks for a chance at a giveaway. Have a good weekend.
Karen, love your site and your humour and I too am grateful for Chanel. When my my ideal future is trips to Paris for Chanel makeovers and walks along the champs d’elysee with my… Daughter!
I’d love to see a tutorial for the Chanel Quatre Ombres.
Xoxo
James Bond over Bourne, definitely! Skyfall was amazing!
James Bond for me! ๐ Thank you for the giveaway!
Years ago I bought a formal dress for $5 in several sizes too big, but it was $5 so I said what the heck. I had my mom alter it and I’ve worn it several times. This morning I made my mom try it on because she needs a dress to wear to a last minute event. It fit her perfectly! It feels like a thrill when you get your money’s worth!!
I love your blog. I read it every day.
I like Pizza with pineapple topping. Thin and crusty with less cheese. I like chilli papper and tomato and corn with the pineapple topping too !
Do you believe Christmas is only a month and a half away?! My cats already have their list ready!
I love gelati
Jason Bourne!! Less gadgets more realistic! So awesome!
Your walls look great! You did a great job! รฐลธโย
I used to use the philosophy moisturizer religiously but now that I’m out, I’ve been using drugstore ones and I honestly don’t think I can justify spending that much on a daily moisturizer again.
There’s an airshow going on near my house and I have a massive headache from all the planes roaring overhead…
James Bond! I love my pepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni and extra cheese pls ๐
who doesn’t love pizza? I’d love to win this Sephora gc, my skin has been looking awful lately, it’s depressing me.
At work we’ve been ordering this BLT pizza and a chicken barbeque one which are both amazing!
My favorite pizza has extra cheese, pepperoni and green peppers! Yum!
Great blog! I plan on making a sephors trip soon!
I really need to get my butt to the mall today so I can return some things and grab some things I’ve been meaning to grab for a while but I’m soooo cold right now I just want to snuggle up and watch a movie!
Becca @ The Beauty Sample recently posted … The Sample: NEW Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil in Soft Brunette Review & Swatches
I like PLAIN cheese pizza. I tell people it’s because I’m a purist when it comes to pizza. My mom says it’s because I’m immature…
I work out with a ponytail.
I wear my hair in a pony tail when I work out.
I am so excited to see Skyfall. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I typically like my pizza to be no meat and loaded up on the jalepenos, but sometimes I will be ok with pepperoni. Sausage is a big NO!
Just made VIB status for the first time. I am way too excited about it!
I’m obsessed with Bollywood! I love dilwale dulhania le jayenge, Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham. There are so many more, but you should check those out:)
I always wear a ponytail! Maybe a headband, depending on whether or not I have bangs.
One time, I was crocheting mittens while watching the Bourne movies and ended up making to left mittens! Guess I might be a Bourne girl after all.. ๐
gurl please. if u r wearing ur hai r down at the gym, you are not working out. Ponytail all the way!
My hair always bounces out of a ponytail when I run, so I’ve started using spin pins. Works much better!
My favorite moisturizer is G.M. Collins Puractive Gel Cream. I have been using their whole Puractive line and find that if I stick to it, it really helps my skin. I live in the Northern Hemisphere, happy cold but sunny weekend!
My hair is pretty short so I don’t worry about it when I work out. When it gets shaggy, I might clip the bangs back or wear a headband.
I live in the northern hemisphere, way too north for my preference. Michigan is far too cold.
I’m seriously considering getting the Clarisonic Mia even though it’s so expensive!
Radnom fact: the last beauty item I bought was hot pink glitter nailpolish from wet n wild. It’s what my toes are currently painted!
Happy Saturday!
Going to see the movie tonight, I hope we like it!
My birthday is tomorrow & I’m hoping I get the new Too Faced Bon Bon palette!!
As for moisturizers… i miss my Philosophy Hope in a Jar… I want to try the First Aid stuff tho!
Hmm I like my pizza thin crust, little sauce and lots of cheese..hopefully with a foot rub and a cold drink.
First time entry – I LOVE makeup too. Thanks for the fun posts.
I normally wear a messy bun on the top of my head while working out to get all the hair off my neck!
i wear my hair sweaty when i work out :-p lol…just a ponytail does the trick for me, with the occasional headband
I wear a baseball hat when I work out
Hi Karen n Tabby ..loved your Wythe blue walls ๐
I wear my hair in a ponytail when I work out.
I love BBQ chicken pizza or deep dish pizza. And my favorite moisturizer is Avalon Organics’ Vitamin C Oil-free Moisturizer. Try it!
I love your blog! Cats & makeup, the 2 best things ever! Sincerely, a mother of 2 kids & 8 year old Stu who aspires to be a world renowned model like Tabs ๐
I prefer Bond,James Bond! I like Caudalie Hand Cream,which I buy at Sephora,it is the best hand cream in the world!
What’s working out? ๐
There’s a place near my house with amazing square pizzas… my favorite is with spinach, chicken and garlic!
My favorite pizza is from Pizzaria Regina in Boston and features pepperoni and caramelized onions.
I have Tomorrow Never Dies by OPI on my nails and can’t stop looking at them! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
The most difficult thing I’ve ever done… happened just 2 days ago, I successfully completed and defended my PhD thesis!
Oh wow. Im lusting after the clarins beauty balm for so long. Would be my christmas and diwali gift rolled in one. Hehehe happy weeekend babes
Northern hemisphere here. Wishing I could fly south for the winter, though! ๐
Spinach and Feta pizza…..yum!
I want to get the kat Von d lock it foundation
Bourne. But I haven’t seen Skyfall yet. Might change my mind!
I can’t wait to see Skyfall!

Pizza, pizza, pizza – it’s all so very delicious! I’ll eat any kind, but my favourite is Hawaiian! Mmmm pinapple! And boy, am I dreaming of Hawaii today, as I look outside where it’s freezing cold with half a foot of snow on the ground -yuck. Obviously I am stuck, er, I mean live in the Northern Hemisphere.
I recently just bought a clarisonic Mia from sephora, used it twice and I’m in love already!! Ooh and hubby and I are gonna watch Skyfall tomorrow, truthfully haven’t really watch all the other bond movies so it’ll be an interesting experience.
My workout consists in heated power yoga, so I tie my hair in a very high pony tail. I need to be able to lay down on my back without feeling it, so it’s really high!
Lulle recently posted … A Sweet Treat from Too Faced
My current favorite moisturizer is Neutrogena’s Visibly Even with SPF 30. It seems to be the only one so far that doesn’t make me grease up like crazy throughout the day.
BOURNE, for sure. I haven’t seen the previous Bonds. Casino Royale was fantastic; Quantum of Solace, not so much. I do love DC.
Saddy recently posted … Photo
Karen your animation up there is seriously awesome!!
I am already thinking about Thanksgiving… Just imagining all the food is making me drool, lol!
DEFINITELY wear my hair up in a ponytail or braid when working out – when I see people with their hair down, I can’t imagine it’s at all comfortable!!
I’m not going to lie, I’m rather indifferent towards both James Bond and Jason Bourne. The spy genre just doesn’t appeal to me.
My favorite night moisturizer is Tarte’s Maracuja oil!
Ahhh I can’t wait to watch Skyfall!! James Bond, always ๐
Hi Tabs the cat!
Favorite Bond movies are the Daniel Craig Casino Royale as well as OHMSS–so cheeseball, but some wonderful moments in that. Were discussing going out to see Skyfall tonight, but are putting that off until tomorrow.
Thanks for another great giveaway opportunity, Karen! ๐
I have to wear my hair In a pony its to hard to wear it down it makes me feel icky lol
I wear my hair in a pony tail when I work out.
I made an awesome jalapeno mango pork sausage pizza once!
Love your new wall color! It’s making me feel sad about my rental beige.
Tabs is my favorite!
I don’t like a lot of sauce on my pizza.
I think my kitty Jordan is getting as chubby as Tabs!
I get really excited whenever I see new Inglot shadows!
Cookie says hi to Tabs!
I love love makeup!!!!
I have been wanting to get the Hourglass liquid lipsticks for a while now. So, this should help! =)
Red nail polish makes me look fancy, even when I’m wearing sweat pants, knock off Uggs, and ponytails! ๐
I love pesto tortellini pizza from Antonio’s. Yum!!
I wear my hair the way its most practical to wear when working out – which is a ponytail.
James Bond all the way!
I always have it up in a ponytail!
I love cliniques moisturizers but I just bought the simple moisturizer since its cheaper and I have sensitive skin. Hope it works!
I just love your site. It’s my go-to for beauty advice. You’ve kept me from making some bad, quick-buy impulses.
I like sausage, pineapple and onions on my pizza.
Want to see the new Bond movie!!!!
Due to hurricane Sandy, I didn’t have internet access> I was going NUTS!!!!
I’ve been stalking the Sephora site trying to see what all I want to get for my friends for Christmas… They don’t really have any higher quality makeup, so I want to change that! =]
I’m sooo into pepperoni pizza. You’d think I’d be sick of it by now…
As long as there’s cheese on my pizza, I’m not complaining ๐
When I work out I wear my hair in a pony tail with a Lululemon hair band. I’m pretty gross when I workout so I have to have it up and out of the way.
Love pear and feta pizza with reduced balsamic drizzle! (And a big glass of white wine!)
I wear lululemon bang buster hairband! So awesome! I have two of them!
I have never in my life seen a James Bond film. When I do decide to watch one, I want to see the Sean Connery ones.
I put my hair up in a ponytail and sometimes pin back my bangs during workouts.
Karen,
I looove the pizza at this cool little italian restaurant close to where I live. My favorite toppings are jalapenos, mushrooms, and eggplant. ๐
I like my pizza with spinach, sausage, green peppers, and onions!
james bond, stuffed crust and green olives and pepperoni, wear my hair up at hte gym, could never imagine it down!
I am so ready for Thanksgiving.
can’t believe it’s november already…the end of the year always makes me feel so unaccomplished… ๐
Kissing and hugging my family back home to say good bye to move here in the US to start a new life. That was one of the hardest thing I did in my life. I miss them so much.
You are all making me really, really want to see Skyfall!
I am eating Trader Joe’s Roasted Seaweed right now. SO GOOD.
Emi at Project Swatch recently posted … Online Shopping Guide
If I won I would love to buy UD’s Vice Palette, seriously lusting after that!
I’ve been on an all natural skin care kick recently, so I’ve been using grapeseed oil + lavender tea tree oil as my moisturizer. Loving it so far.
There’s a pizza place in my hometown in NY that makes an amazing white pie with spinach and ricotta. Soooo good.
Karen is so cool, holy crap, she rules.
Melissa W. recently posted … Bruno helps with the recycling.
I am a cheese pizza gal! Thanks!
Mushroom pizza for me!
How I like my pizza depends on my mood. Sometimes loaded with veggies. Sometimes, just cheese. Every once and while, filled with salty, greasy pepperoni.
I really wanna try that UD Vice palette
Soooo tired. It doesn’t count as a weekend if I have to work!
Just had some frozen yogurt vanilla flavor, with strawberries, kiwis, raspberries, peanut butter bits, and a cherry on top so yummy ๐
A BBQ chicken pizza hits the spot every time!
I always wear my hair in a ponytail to work out, just because it’s easy and keeps my hair out of my face! I think it’s kind of silly to make it all fancy for the gym.
Mariah Carey is my favorite singer of all-time!
About to get some pho~
My latest beauty obsession is asian skincare products.
Sheet masks are so convenient and so good for my skin.
I saw Cloud Atlas today. I cried. It was good. I loved it. I highly recommend seeing it.

I like jalepenos and pineapples on my pizza!
already know what I want ๐
I love lots of mozzarella cheese on my pizza, but some sausage can be a great addition.
I like chicken pizza.
I always tie up my hair when I exercise ๐
Like your new dining room walls,blue is my fave color in any shade or tint.
Thanks for the chance to win this gift card!
I love using The Body Shop’s Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream!
James Bond over Jason Bourne, but I do like them both for different reasons.
I like Hawaiian pizza with extra pineapples and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes ๐
Once cats develop opposable thumbs, they’ll no longer need humans.
Aw I’m jealous! My hubs and I attempted to go see the new 007 but it was completely sold out for me night. We went over to Fridays for dinner and back home to some tequila ๐
Would love to win this to use with my VIB sale coupon!
Northern Hemisphere here and it has to be James Bond. I’m old school and nothing in my books beats Sean Connery as Mr. Bond *.*
I’m a plain Jane. I like pepperoni and cheese.
When working out I have to wear my hair in a pony tail or in a bun. It drives me crazy otherwise!
I love pizza mostly plain or with green pepper. And I love white pizza.
I like pizza with veggies on it.
Enjoying wine with my girls and watching the proposal!
You and Tabs remind me of me and my kitty named Rosie. I have been sick for 3 years and Rosie has been with me every step of the way. I don’t know what I would do without my sweetheart and I love her more than most people! (ok, ok…the MAJORITY of people =]) If I get the gift card Rosie and I would get YSL’s new touche eclat foundation to even out our complexions and make us look “purrrrfect.”
I’ve got a pixie cut (that’s only getting longer…time for a haircut?) so I don’t need to do anything to my hair when I work out. ๐
I work out at home, so I just wear a quick messy bun and some bobby pins to keep my sideswept bangs out of the way. Not that cute but it’s easy.
I like my pizza with a thin crust, preferably margherita!
Hewwo.
James Bond! Daniel Craig does an awesome job playing James Bond & he’s so handsome ๐
Come on, Mama! Baby needs some foundation and face wash!!
I don’t necessarily *like* my pizza gluten-free, but I have to eat it that way now. :/ Before that, New York-style thin crust or cornmeal crust all the way.
I have to admit, I love love love action movies, but I just can’t get into Bond or Bourne – give me a good kung fu flick any day of the week!
I love deep dish Chicago style pizza with sausage ๐
Reeeeeeally know how I can spend $50 @ Sephora. And. Fast.
I love how you always come up with inventive ways to incorporate Tabs into your posts!
I have every kind of makeup imaginable, except for the two most important ones: foundation and eyeshadow.
I have one eyeshadow and no foundation.
I am in need of these desperately.
xox
Hope you had a wonderful weeken Karen ! ๐
Do you have any makeup tips for video shoots?
I pictured myself with $50 in my hands and I loved it!
Florida in tha house! LOL
Workout hair=high bun.
Wow Im torn, I really love Bourne but Bond is a straight up classic!
Skyfall was amazing!
Love my hair in a low bun and cute head band to work out. Easy and Effective
Hmmmm and now I’m craving pizza — as boring as it is, I like the Pizza Hut pepperoni pizza with lots of cheese. Roasted garlic on pizza is good, too. :>
Have to have a thin crust pizza! And I don’t want to see any broccoli or some other non-pizza thing on it!
There is a crazy thunderstorm right now… LOL November!
Mmmm, Daniel Craig….possibly one of the most delicious Bonds.
I was prepared to hate Daniel Craig as Bond because I was a big Pierce Brosnan fan, but he is the best Bond ever, and Casino Royale is on the top five list of best movies all-time for me. Daniel Craig as Bond is definitely on my Solodex (you know, the Rolodex of guys you think about when you are having, ahem, quality time with yourself…)
ANYWAY! I like chicken and pineapple pizza and clip my bangs back with a barrette when I work out, becasue headbands never stay in place for me, and I need to get to Sephora to use my 20% off VIB card!
Hope I can win this thing this time! Also, can I borrow Tabs for a weekend, please?
I throw my hair up in a ponytail when I work out. I’m not a huge fan of Jason Bourne, but Timothy Dalton as Bond was HOT. ๐
Hello, fellow Makeup Junkie!
Ohhh I’d be ecstatic to win that Sephora Gift Card, it would mean a lot! Btw, I’m a big fan of your blog. You’re funny as heck and I love to read your makeup reviews. xoxoxo
Viva Sephora!
,
did i tell you how upset i was when sephora closed in HK?=///
I like my hair tied in a tight ponytail when I’m having a serious workout ๐
It’s finally starting to feel like fall here in southern California, and it feels really good. But I don’t really care because I get to go back up to San Francisco in about a week!
I tied my hair to ponytail when I work out
follow you on twitter and tweeted @momsfocus123
I didn’t remember how much I like “many rivers to cross”, i love this song
I use Yes To Carrots night cream. I love it. Thanks for hosting this great giveaway!
I love Bond, James Bond but I still prefer Jason Bourne, speaking in ten languages. YUM
Congrats on the pretty paint job ๐
Definitely Jason Bourne > James Bond
I wanna win!
I watched Casino Royale again today, Eva Green is so pretty!
I want to see Skyfall so bad! Maybe tomorrow…
I am Filipino, if I remember correctly I think you are too!
I just put my hair up in a classic ponytail when i work out. Sometimes I clip by bangs back. Nothing special, although sometimes i’ll braid it.
thin pizza; all-time favorite: father and son eggplant parmesan pizza (chicago)
My favorite is a thin cheese pizza. Yum!
Ooh, I can’t wait to see the new Bond film. ๐ I’m glad you liked it.
My love pizza. My fave is peperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, extra cheese and sausage.
I live in the Northern Hemisphere.
I cant wait to see Skyfall soon! always wanted to be a bond girl haha ๐ have a good weekend!
I was a big fan of pigtail braids for running when my hair was longer, since they look better as they get messier. These days I stick with a ponytail for cardio and a looped bun thing for lifting.
Had a discussion at work today…who is the hotter Bond Brosnan or Craig….I say Craig all the way~
I’m really digging my pumpkin spice chai tea from trader joes. You need to try Karen ๐
Planning to see Skyfall in 2 weeks!
I wanna win!
Hawaiian pizza in just about any incarnation 4evah!
Sean Connery as James Bond all the way.
my favorite late night snack is a piece of toast and a slice of cheese :]
Happy Aloha Saturday

I like my pizza without cheese!
Hello Karen =)
I am new in makeup area, am so willing to try and learn to use makeup

Hi, Karen! Hope you’re having a great weekend! I wish I had a pizza right now!
My favorite pizza is extra cheese and mushrooms on top:)
I just went grocery shopping at Target and couponed $40 off my total!
I love just plain pizza with lots of mushrooms!!!
When I work put I put my hair in a pony tail or a bun and pin my bangs.
The hardest thing I have ever done was moving from Poland to the US and leaving everything over there behind.
Jason Borne!
Most difficult thing I’ve ever done was high school. I can’t even get into all the emotional stuff that went along with it and was further wearing, but I got really sick my sophomore year of school and spent the next 2 years trying to get a diagnosis, wondering if I was dying while trying to get through my classes feeling absolutely horrible and unable to walk. I got a diagnosis before my 3rd year (POTS/Dysautonomia) but still really struggled (and do struggle) even though I was medicated. Getting my high school diploma on time with the rest of my class seemed like an impossible feat sometimes, and being able to accomplish it was AMAZING!
Never really got into the Bourne series …
Dear Karen and Tabs, I am a big fan of your site! I would love to win a sephora gift card because my family and I just lost our apartment and everything in it during Hurricane Sandy:( (We lived in a Brooklyn beachfront neighborhood called Seagate). My mom and I both lost all of our makeup, and applicators, along with all our sentimental possessions. We spent every dime we had in savings to get a new apartment in such short notice—a more expensive place and much less space. Obviously we won’t be having any extra $$ to spend on rebuilding a makeup collection, or even the essentials. Winning this contest would be a single ray of sunshine in what has been a hellish few weeks! Well, I know you have tons of followersbwho would all love to win as much as I would, so best of luck to everyone! And I look forward to following more of Tab’s modeling career. XO Carrie
So I couldn’t REtweet the message because I couldn’t find it on your timeline, so I just straight-up TWEETed it. I hope that’s okay!
I suppose the most difficult thing I’ll have done is coming up—I’ll be popping a baby out in the next couple of weeks WHENEVER HE DECIDES HE’S READY TO COME OUT. Is it obvious that I’m ready to be done with being pregnant?
I have six weeks left until I graduate & leave santa fe forever[?]!
I. Can’t. Wait. :]
I wear my hair in a pony tail when I work out
It is rare that I win these types of contests but it is always a blessing to enter. I love makeup and your blog brings a sistah some real joy!!!
James Bond! Definitely James Bond!
Happy to be reading you again after losing power to Sandy for almost 2 weeks! NOT easy with a 4 year old!
south. rainy Curitiba, Brazil. =)
Pizza- I really like Margherita pizza. Also really like BBQ chicken pizza, or garlic chicken pizza. I’ve never made my own pizza-this is a goal for me!
I can’t wait to go watch Skyfall! I’ve hear mixed reviews about it, but since you already said it is one if your favourite Bond movie, no reason to not go see it at all now!
Can’t wait to see skyfall
My favorite moisturizer is clinique moisture surge. I love the way it feels on my skin.
I live in the northern hemisphere- more specifically, Montana.
My husband and I are going to see sky fall this afternoon! I never was a Bond fan until Daniel Craig. It has been a really fun series. Otherwise I plan on really relaxing today. ๐
I have some stuff in my Sephora cart just waiting to be shipped off to a loving home with me… a GC would get it home to me quicker LOL.
The most difficult thing I have ever done is adopting my two children from foreign countries. It is also the thing I am most proud of. I am honored and blessed to be their mommy.
I wear my hair in a low pony when I work out & my favourite moisturizer is La Mer.
I don’t normally wear moisturizer but in the winter I like to use Freeman’s Feeling Beautiful Facial Hydration Mask in Goji Berry. It makes my skin soft and moisturized without feeling heavy or causing me to break out.
I live on the Northern Hemisphere and specifically in Greece!!
Living in NYC… moisturizer is a must and I live by Oil of Olay. Most of all wishing that everyone here power is restored this week due to Sandy….it really makes you appreciate the simple things in life, when you are without things….
“Skyfall” was great! Even better than the previews!
Lately I’ve been wearing a bun at the gym because my hair is getting long…and that ponytail swinging back and forth is probably gonna make my hairline recede!
Is there any kind of pizza that isn’t good? I think not. That said, I really enjoy one with Canadian bacon and black olives.
I love my pizza with mushrooms, onions & garlic!
When I workout I wear my hair in a tight bun.
Um. James Bond all the way. Bourne is great and all. But there is no contest.
I like my pizza Hawiaan style- not very adventurous am I.
Yay for peppermint mochas ๐
Breakfast pizza is my favorite! and off course I have to go with Bond
I love “fresh mozarella” style pizzas.
For a dining room table, check Craiglist! My mom found ours in my hometown for $300 – and it’s really nice. Even got the little gear mechanism in it so you don’t have to yank it apart to put the leaf in.
I love that you do these contests all the time, it’s so fun! I hope you are doing well, and I love your blog ๐
Always look forward to Sundays and entering this giveaway!
I don’t usually work out, but when I have to do heavy duty work I use a bun or a strick to hold it back.
Sometimes getting up from bed was like dying.
I live in the Northern Hemisphere.
I love Lush’s Moisturizer.
I like my pizza with lots of cheese and cream.
Both. But James Bond has a vintage vibe that I love.
I saw sky fall yesterday as well and I must say that I am loving what they are doing with this new series!
I just wear my hair in a simple ponytail when I work out!
How exciting! I love these. Have a nice Remembrance Day!
Most difficult thing I’ve ever done? Have a baby! Also, the most rewarding ๐
This cold is not the business.
I love my pizza with everything on it. I order it with the stuffed crust..once in awhile..lol
Pizza…with black olives and extra cheese…so yummy. And now I’m hungry…
Hi Karen!!
Definitely James Bond. No contest.
I wear my hair in a ponytail or bun during workouts. If you’re not drenched in sweat post workout, you didn’t work hard enough.
I’m addicted to strawberry crystal light <3
I smell muffins. I need to crawl out of bed.
My favourite moisturizer of all time is Benefit Total Moisture! Super moisturizing but fast absorbing. I’ve already gone through 3 jars!
I absolutely love this moisturizer from lancome my friend got me for my birthday but because the price of lancome products I can’t buy it myself. I’m hoping this gift card would help. thanks ๐
I live in the Northern hemisphere! ๐
Lately I’ve been wearing my hair in a bun when I work out, I think people think I’m crazy. Hah!
I wear it in a ponytail or a bun.
I wear my hair in a ponytail when I workout. I live in the Northern Hemisphere ๐ I love thin crust pizzas!
I love a vegetarian pizza with all the veggies I can think of (artichokes, spinach you name it!) Yummmm
Workout hair: High ponytail, second elastic to loop it into a bun (rarely stays in one though), rubberized headband (lululemon’s are fantastic) to keep all those fringe frizzies from sticking to my forehead. And one or two bobby pins, though they usually go flying if I start running.
Happy Sunday! ๐ Happy furniture hunting.
I am always trying out new moisturizers, but I always seem to return to Burt’s Bees Positively Ageless Serum, especially when the cool weather hits.
I HATE wearing my hair up, I love pizza, and I am more of Die Hard kind of a girl instead of 007 ๐
I’m currently obsessing about my new purchase, YSL Volupte Sheer Candy in 9 Cool Guava!!!! GORGE!
sephora’s offering some pretty niche fragrance options – atelier cologne, l’artisan de parfumeur – i just picked up nuit de tubereuse with the vib 20% off sale, can’t wait to see how it wears on me!
I live in the Northern hemisphere!
When I work out, all my hair goes up, either in a ponytail or a braid.
I absolutely love the “Senna Haute Nudes Eye & Face Palette”. These colors are perfect for everyday.
I live in upstate NY,so getting my beloved BBQ pizza (I’m from Mississippi) is difficult. I would love to visit the Southern Hemisphere, the South Pacific in particular.
I love my pizza with mushrooms, artichoke hearts, spinach, and red pepper. MMMM!
having sort of a bad day:( but when i work out, my hair is usually in a pony, if it stays! and i like olives on my pizza:)
I always go with the ponytail during a workout.
When I work out, I usually wear my hair in a topknot or a bun – when I do something I have to concentrate on, I hate when my hair is touching my neck or face… so even a ponytail drives me nuts then :D.
When I USED to work out (hahaha) I always wore my hair up in a ponytail or little bun.
I have never been able to shop at Sephora, always have to walk by. Also many Sephora’s are not around where I live.
Used Vit E capsules as a pre wash in my hair today, hoping for some results.
I like my pizza just the way the folks at Mellow Mushroom make their Kosmic Karma!
James Bond for sure!
When I work out, I wear my hair in a ponytail and then put it up in a bun.
I saw Skyfall yesterday! I loved it.
Thanks for the chance with this giveaway!
ohhh pizza. I love pizza. I sometimes buy the little packets where you add water and make dough and make my own pizzas. one of these day I’ll make dough completely from scratch. I want to make pasta from scratch too, like some fun raviolis with ricotta and italian sausage or mushrooms mmmmmmm I’m drooling
Skyfall was better than Casino Royale!
When I work out I keep it simple with a cute ponytail! ๐
I like the picture being animated!
I was just in Sephora today, making a list of everything I want for Christmas! It is a very long list.
Just watched Casino Royale on TV last night and can’t wait to see Sky Fall!!
Free @Austin_Tice American Journo held in Syria for over 90 days!! US Vet! Law student. Pray for his release. His parents will give a press release tomorrow.
We’ve had Adele’s Skyfall song on repeat since we saw the movie!
can’t wait to see the new james bond!
Pony tail for work outs. Everytime. Most difficult thing, childbirth.
Pizza should have LOTS of basil, and the hardest thing I’ve ever done is the Breast Cancer 3 Day TWICE!
i just painted my nails and im dreaming of more colors from sephora!
Like my pizza with mushrooms and olives, I think I am a bit of a loner in that.
Plain old cheese pizza for me!
I’m not a James Bond fan, but Jason Bourne? The books, the movies? Bring ’em on!
Skyfall’s next on the list-this weekend it was Wreck-it Ralph for my daughter (not half-bad, actually . . .)
Waiting to see which song is the top song of the 2000s
I would be so excited to win a $50 Sephora gift card!!!
My sister is getting married next weekend, so I’m trying to finalize my makeup looks for the wedding and rehearsal.
workout hair = ponytail or bun
I wear my hair in a high pony, buns never stay in place by the time I’m done working out.
I never win these things, but its always worth a try!!! Love the blog!@
Most difficult thing I’ve ever done: packed up and left everything I knew and drove 2000 miles by myself to a new place where I didn’t know anyone. Scary!
Take 5 Hershey Kisses, 6 is too many and 4 is not enough, unwrap each one and pop all of them in your mouth. DO NOT CHEW! Let them melt slowly in your mouth. Try freezing the kisses first. God nothing better!
Wreck it Ralph was so much fun! I recommend it ๐
I try a lot of different moisturizers, just because I get bored easily. But I always end up going back to Clinique’s Dramatically Different lotion. It just really works well for my skin.
Hello!
I am currently studying (yet sidetracking) for the financial section of the CPA exam. :o/ Thank you for your awesome blog. It’s a nice zone out from all of the information I’m reviewing.
And, when I work out, I: pin back my bangs, put on a “stay put” headband so the tiny hairs don’t get in my face, and throw everything back into a ponytail!
Happy Veteran’s Day!
Ponytail or bun for when I work out!
Hi Karen. Yet another great weekend for me. The hubs and I saw Skyfall as well. I must admit that I went because the hubs wanted to see it but I actually liked it! ๐ I also completed my second 5K today at the Iron Girl Del Mar 5&10K race. I had an awesome time with some pretty amazing ladies! ๐
Post pictures of your blue walls. I’ve wanted to paint for too long! Thx for the chance to sephora…I’m in need of cleanser!
I live in the Northern Hemisphere, and Jason Bourne > James Bond.
Just got home from a girl’s weekend in Indiana – had a blast and feel so refreshed!
Thanks for the giveaway! I’m enjoying an awesome Vietnamese-style brussels sprouts recipe right now and looking at my favorite blogs ๐
I’ve been treating & coloring my hair today with Lush henna. Love henna vs chemicals!
Hi Karen! Thank you for the giveaway! I want to try Lush soon.
In terms of badassness, definitely Jason Bourne. He doesnt need any fancy gadgets, just his sexy sexy self. But James Bond is smoother and ultimately more fun.
I LOVE pesto on my pizza! Not in lieu of sauce, but drizzled on top.
Bourne over Bond ๐
Love your blog ๐ this time change is sure getting to me, it’s 5:40pm but my body feels like its almost 9 ha!
Just gave my son his first hair cut! It was good, but sad. I actually cried a little. He is growing up so fast! I need a Sephora gift card to cheer me up ๐
Love your blog! I’ve been using it to decide on my next haul ๐
James Bond, absolutely. Jumps hardcore off a separating train car to another like a badass and adjust his cuffs to his suit oh so nonchalantly.
I love your blog. Keep up the awesome work, Karen!
I like plain cheese pizza! I’m so boring!
Wreck it Ralph was soooo worth it!
007 was so worth it!
Huge Jason bourne fan … My husband and I gagged seen every movie in theatres and have the full collection at home
Glad you enjoyed the new James Bond movie! I always put my hair up in a high pony tail when I work out.
When I do rarely work out, a ponytail and bobby pins are my workout hairstyle!
Definitely James Bond! Skyfall was amazing.:)
I won’t take anything but New York pizza ๐
I’ve really been loving the Alba Botanica products lately; their cruelty free and I really been enjoying the aloe and green tea moisturizer!
Thin crust Hawaiian !
Bond, James Bond.
My go-to workout hair is a bun, braid, or ponytail with an elasticized headband to keep all my crazy frizzies at bay.
I wear my hair up in a ponytail with clips.
I’m so ready for Thanksgiving to grub on everything ๐
I’m in Iowa and we had a very small brush with winter today. Below freezing weather and a chance of snow.
I love pizza! I loved black olive and red onion pizza for a long time. Then ate at blue Moon Pizza and love the same with chorizo!!!!! My fav!
I like stuff.
I honestly love your site for reviews and of course those moments when i’m supposed to be doing my work, but i’d rather get lost in the world of beauty and fashion ๐ You know the feeling i’m sure!
i need new perfume!
i watched skyfall this weekend as well and loved it!
Definitely Jason Bourne… especially when played by Matt Damon.
My favorite lip gloss of all time in chai by MAC! I love that stuff, they better never discontinue that one ๐
Pizza is always good. But thousand times better after midnight….when it is the last thing one should eat? I wonder why? So hungryyyyyyyy!
I wanna win the mostest!
I like my pizza with meat + mushrooms! Thanks for the giveaway! ๐
I love reading your blog, the swatches really let me know how colors will look.
I just bought the OPI skyfall nail polish set of 4 and am so excited to try them all out!
Recently found a new favorite moisturizer – TriDerma Facial Redness Relief, it is bomb. It’s the only moisturizer I’ve ever found that’s hydrating enough without breaking me out or causing irritation. It’s helped with redness, it’s calmed my skin, healed spots, etc, etc, and it’s inexpensive.
I really love my argan oil from Josie Maran.
I use Stila’s illuminating tinted moisturizer for a nice minimum coverage look. Love it.
I love Sephora!
James bond with pizza at my door step? Minus the carbs! A gal can dream haha
Pizza = pepperoni and mushrooms … om nom nom
Didn’t get to see Skyfall this weekend…hopefully next!
Thanks for the giveaway! ๐
Purple is my favorite color! yay!
india’s biggest festival diwali is here and I’m so looking forward to it!
Ansh@Vanity No Apologies recently posted … How My College Dressed Up For Halloween! Demons Rule!
I’m barely getting in under the wire, here! Whew!
I think the Sephora store filled with Fancy Feast is the funniest thing ever!
My interesting fact? My dog is named Atticus after Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

When I work out I usually wear my hair in a ponytail!
Hi! I am trying to find a good undereye primer. I used to use “Lifted” by tarte. Loved it, anti-aging and I didn’t need any coverup! It wasn’t tinted. I am trying to find something similar and am having a really tough time.
I like mushrooms, onions, green peppers and pepperoni on my pizza.
