SLUMBER PARTY!
Today’s the day! I’ve had these plans for about three months now, and I’ve been counting down the days (and seconds). I’m heading with my friends, Jen and Cindy, who I haven’t seen in months, to the Claremont Hotel over in nearby Berkeley for a girls slumber party and spa day.
I picked the aroma therapy massage, which is supposed to de-stress you…
Perfect! — because Tabs has been working me to the bone.
Even though it was a short week, I feel like I got quite a few things done. I tried some new things in my writing process, like using different tech tools, like my phone, and trying to get out a bit more, out to the counters to hang out with the makeup artists and see some of the new stuff for spring.
I’m really excited about spring, both the makeup and the weather. I’m so over wearing thermals…
I hope your week went well and the year got off to a good start. Let’s see if we can’t make it a little better this weekend with a bangin’ Sephora giveaway for a $50 eGift card.
I love Sephora! I could get lost there for hours (and have on many occasions). Whenever I’m in the store, I always know it’s time to go when El Hub walks in, stands around me and just sort of hovers… Sometimes he breathes very loudly, too. That’s my non-verbal cue to hurry up. 🙂
What folks are saying…
“What a lovely surprise it was to see your announcement (after completing one of many exams/papers/projects I have this crazy week)! The eCard will definitely ease expenses for this broke, beauty-obsessed college student. Thank you, Karen and Tabs!!”
-Katie“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!”
-Jane“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. 🙂 I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.”
-Angel“Thank you SO much Karen! OMG! Wishes really do come true! I can’t believe I won! You have no idea how much this will help me through the holidays. I’ve been an avid fan of your blog for the past two years. Your witty and creative entries, informative makeup information, and beautiful photos have kept me hooked. I look forward to more of it. Goodness, you’ve
seriously just made my week and it’s only Tuesday night!”
-Zharlynne“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)“Hi Karen. Thank you so much, I’m so excited, I’ve never won anything before. My name is Hana … I just turned 25 (today is my birthday!) Yay! Thank you.”
-Hana

I received a 5 lb bar of chocolate as a christmas gift and now I’m trying to come up with ways to use it all up! It’s as big as a keyboard and twice as thick!
Yup I have accidentally cut my bangs to short
My mom used to cut my hair so my childhood was full of too-short bangs!
I have definitely had my bangs too short. There’s a grade school picture with short, crooked bangs to prove it. Thanks mom! lol
I have a haircut appointment in a few hours and have noooo idea what I want to get.
I sleep on my side. And I just love the cats picture 🙂 Thank you for the giveaway!
Ahaha, one thing I remember that we *always* did at slumber parties when I was growing up was “Light as a feather, stiff as a board.”
I am thinking of coloring my hair or maybe add some ombre effect.
My last real slumber party was when I was in middle school.
I got a $50 gc to Nordstrom for Christmas, and am pulling my hair out trying to decide what to order! FWP
Cheese is good.
I really hate doing anything with my legs in the winter, but I do.
Last night I shaved my legs using pure coconut oil for the first time. They were so smooth off the bat, and I didn’t necessarily have to moisturize afterwards, but I put another layer of oil on them afterwards.
I’ve got the smoothest non-irritated after shaving legs I’ve ever had right now. I’m in love.

Tomorrow is my day of Birth & I’m not doing anything at all! Just relaxing!
This week has been a very interesting week, but a good one 🙂
I really need to shave my legs.
I only ever had too short/terrible bangs as a kid-I hated growing them out and swore I’d never get them again. Now I find myself considering some long bangs…
Would love this!
My kids will not get anymore toys until next Christmas. …I mean it this time!!!
My last slumber party was years and years ago. We used to just watch movies and gossip 🙂 I don’t particularly think I have to in the winter but I will so often. I have had my bangs cut too short, it was a nightmare! 🙁
I am a stomach sleeper! I actually consider myself a starfish sleeper because I lay on my stomach and stretch my arms and legs out in a starfish-like fashion….which makes me the absolute worst person to share a bed with!
Julie recently posted … Recent Empties
Yup, I shave my legs in the winter. It’s good exfoliation before moisturizing, plus it keeps me in the habit. 🙂
time to shine
Happy birthday Zena!
GOODBYE NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS, HELLO NEW YEARS COMMITMENTS!!
I usually sleep on my side
I am sick today…. so sad!
I have a drawer full of nail polish bottles, but that didn’t stop me from buying the dior golden jungle set today.
I sleep on my stomach and side – not great for wrinkles, supposedly, but not sleeping at all can’t be good for them either!
Naturally curly hair + the (not so) genius idea of cutting in some bangs… not good. I swear it took my entire childhood to grow those out. I have the school photos as a constant reminder / deterrent / wall of shame.
I have had my Bangs cut too short for my Liking once and I Had to wait a While ’till they Gre out to wear them.
Wish I could sleep on my back, but I totally sleep on my side.
I sleep on my back.
All I got was chocolate for Christmas…my resolution now is to lose weight …hahaha! Maybe i could spare another piece…
Good luck to everyone !(:
I’m a side sleeper. But sleeping on your back is best for your back, so I wish I was better at it.
Have fun at your girl’s night out and spa day. We all need one of those occassionally!
It’s my last few days of winter break and I’ve been suffering with an awful cold! Low grade fever and even my ears feel plugged up. Sigh.
I think I might be part cat because I sleep curled in a ball lol!
I have a sore throat.
SO excited! I leave for Mexico in 12 days!
I’d love to win! I have my eye on the Cinderella Storylook Book.
Me, Sephora, purr, purr, purr!
I had my bangs cut too short right before prom during my senior year of high school… I wasn’t very happy about that one 🙁
My husband is exactly like yours and it drives me crazy! I have had to tell him to go somewhere and leave me alone, I can’t concentrate on makeup when he is following me around!
I dreamed last night that sexy squinty Norman Reedus from the walking dead asked me out. Just as we were about to make out, I woke up. Only a Sephora gift card can make up for it.
I cut my bangs well above my eyebrows on one occasion. It wasn’t a pretty sight.
I have never had my bang cut short by accident,fortunately! =D
Why are you wearing thermals in California?!? I live in Michigan and hardly ever wear them. . .Anyway, I’m super excited about the giveaway! I have a few products I’ve been eyeing lately. 🙂
Who doesn’t want to win a gift card for Sephora? 🙂
Last slumber party I went to was New Years Eve party at my best friends house. We rung in the new year playing Cards Against Humanity and drinking whipped creme vodka coffee, after that we spread our blankets in her living room and passed out.
Who doesn’t want to win a gift card to Sephora? 🙂
Thanks for this giveaway!!!
I haven’t had real bangs since elementary school. I always found them too much of a hassle and I don’t think I look good with them. When I do get bangs now and generally get them longer since I tend to part my hair on the side. Thanks for a great giveaway.
My mom had my hair permed when I was 8; it came out shaped like a mushroom….
I am staying warm by cuddling up in a warm fuzzy blanket next to my heater. <3
I used to have bangs when I was kid and my mom would always cut them too short! Also as much as I try to become either a back or side sleeper, I can’t help but sleep on my back 😛
Thanks so much for doing these giveaways Karen, now I just have to cross my fingers that one day I’ll win one!
Ah memories of bangs….lol
I always sleep on my tummy 🙂
Wow!! It’s 2:25 PM and I just woke up!!!! I was sleeping on my back!!
I think the last sleep over I had was about a year ago with one of my best friends!
Thank you so much for the giveaway. Me and Miss brushes (my lovely siamese lady cat) read you everyday together in bed, while she plays with some makeup brush. They are her favorite item to play. XOXO
I love how easy it is to win these giveaways, and plus id love to win because we dont have sephora here.. i wish we did!
I mostly sleep on my side.
I did not have slumber parties as a child. I didn’t have many friends 🙁
I love spa days!
Haven’t been to a slumber party in a loooong time. Have fun. Love your blog.
I hope you ladies have a marvelous time at the spa!
I am a side sleeper, and always have been! =)
Love the slumber party/spa day idea. My last slumber party was with my book club.
I sleep on my side which is said to be a bad thing…but I can’t help it!!
I haven’t had bangs since I was a kid!
I’ve worn bangs my whole life. And as a kid and even recently have had them cut too short. Good thing they grow fast! Thanks for a chance at a giveaway. I hope you enjoy your time with your friends.
We ate pizza, gossiped, and watched movies at my slumber parties.
Funny that you asked-I just had my bangs cut too short! Ahh I hate them but at least they grow fast! Hopefully in a few weeks it will be back to normal 🙂
Long hair. Veeery long.
I’ve had some bad bang cuts in my day; the worst was when they were cut in WAY to thick…it looked so bad
I love to sleep on my tummy. Sadly I can’t do it on my current mattress which isn’t soft enough for me.
Definitely do not shave my legs in the winter, need any extra warmth! haha.
I wax my leg all the time.
I follow on twitter : @cameliaadriana
I tweeted : https://twitter.com/cameliaadriana/status/287666147002822658
Oh my goodness, I don’t even remember when the last time I had a slumber party was… I want to do one again!
Hi!
I wax my legs about 1 a month in winter instead of every 2 weeks.
A few months ago my otherwise awesome hairdresser cut my bangs… well, not TOO short exactly, but short enough that I couldn’t wear them to the side like I normally do. My hair grows fast, though, so I only saw my high school self in the mirror for a short time.
I definitely do still shave during the winter. It just makes me feel prickly and unkempt if I don’t 😛

I got a letter from my Taiwanese friend today. Very nice.
Still shave in the winter, since I wear shorts at the gym and stuff.

My son had a slumber party for his birthday last year….NEVER AGAIN 🙂
I and my husband have a stomach ache, and my daughter insomnia…
love your new layout! thanks for the giveaway!
Hope you’re having a wonderful new year! I’m curious about the aromatherapy massage at the Claremont Hotel. Tell us what you think!
I have an irrational fear of waxing my legs.

I sleep on my back or side. I can’t sleep on my tummy, not so comfy.
I’ve always slept on my side!
My too short bangs were the result of letting my best friend assault me with a pair of scissors. Lesson learned!
I totally sucked at having slumber parties! Not only did I not really have girlfriends (and having mixed slumber parties was frowned upon), but I couldn’t ever sleep anywhere but home! Every time I went to a friend’s party, I would end up calling my mom to come get me by 10pm!
I probably haven’t had a sleepover since I was 10…
I do not shave my legs in the winter; it’s not necessary when it’s really cold and all I wear are long pants 😀
My last experience I had with bangs was a horrible one. The stylist cut too little and didnt style it nicely. Worse. Expierence. Ever.
watch scary movies;)
Hi, I’m writing from Italy and I definitely love this blog, it’s kind of my make up bible 🙂
I don’t shave my legs in the winter…or in any of the other seasons. 🙂
No more bangs for me!
I sleep all over the place…side, back, side…
Hadn’t been to a slumber party in years!!
I can’t remember a time when I DIDN’T get my bangs cut too short. Therefore, I no longer ask for bangs.
Last Slumber Party–probably High School. We were such “good girls who got good grades” no one suspected us of being naughty. Let’s see, we’d steal cigarettes from our parents and try to smoke them (cough cough), steal booze and fill the missing part with water, if boys came over we’d play spin the bottle. Once we even found a vending machine that beer in it so we sent to boys to get some. Fortunately, no one was caught or arrested. We’d also do things like dip a sleeping girl’s hand in warm water to see if she’d pee (she didn’t–an urban myth). This was years and years ago, we had a ton a fun.
I haven’t been to a slumber party in probably seven years! I miss sleeping over at people’s houses!
Happy weekend!
I sleep on my tummy with one leg bent and the other straight. My feline owner, curls up in the triangle that my legs make on top of the covers.
side sleeper… zzz.zz…z..
My friends and I would occasionally build these epic, maze-like forts in my basement during sleepovers. Then we’d stay up on a sugar high drinking chocolate milk. Good times.
I always sleep on my side.
No more bangs for me for a awhile.
Whoops! Double post. Sorry!
I have had my bangs cut too short. Very upsetting!
I always keep my legs shaved. I prefer to wax them, but the grow out bothers me. When I was young, sleep overs were a regular thing. We watched fun movies and tried to stay up all night. I would love this giftcard. My husband is always overseas and I am raising our young son and three pups alone. I need something fun for myself to look forward to. I love beauty everything. It would be such a nice treat 🙂
I sleep on my back.
In the winter I only shave for the weekends. During the week I’m wearing pants and boots at work.
No on the shaving/waxing. Too irritating on my already too dry legs.
My niece wants to be a make-up artist. We spent all morning playing at Sephora – Love that Store!
I sleep on my sides majority of the time and on my tummy if I’m sick lol.
Once I cut my bangs myself…They ended up WAY too short. At least I was only 6.
Side sleeper! I tried to convert to my back for wrinkle prevention but I just can’t get comfortable that way.
Moar makeup!!! The slumber party sounds genius. May need to follow your lead and find a great spa nearby.
I roll around. I fall asleep on my side and wake up on my back.
I can’t stand when I go to read a film review to see if I actually want to see a movie, and it spoils the whole plot without warning!
haha the standing around and hovering thing, definitely happens with me too. Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
Just pigged out on a huge plate of Nachos – so much for Resolution #1 🙁
Falling asleep on my stomach or sides is impossible for me! My back is always too tired by the end of the day.
How sweet of Tabs to give you the night off! Though I’m sure you’re still on call…. 🙂
My hours are decreasing from 100% to 70%, not by choice. I’m really sad about it, but there’s not much I can do.
My last slumber party was probably 5 years ago with my cousins & it involved too much alcohol.
I’m looking for a rescue cat to adopt. yay!
I cut my curly hair way too short in 6th grade. Right before school pictures. I’ve been terrified to go above should length since.
Just tried Rite aid’s equivalent of the olay spinning brush, and it’s great!
Thanks for the opportunity to win! Hope you have a good weekend, I will be catching up on season 2 of Suits! Cannot wait for the rest of the season to air!!
Have fun at your spa day! I love a slumber party. The last one I had was with a good friend when both our boyfriends were out of town over the holidays. We had a little wine, and lots of laughs. Wish it included an aromatherapy massage!
Magic Mike tonight!! Don’t know if I am adequately prepared for the hotness; will keep smelling salts nearby.
Saddy recently posted … Yes, please!
Oh no, I barely even touch my legs in the winter other than apply lotion. I become the female Chewbacca. Can’t say my boyfriend gets too happy with me. XD
I sleep on my stomach, and I usually have 2-3 pillows… but the top pillow HAS to be folded in half. No matter how high the other pillows already are. Weird, I know…
I always sleep on my side curled into a little ball. 🙂
I have not had a professional haircut in more than ten years, I do it myself!
Deep moisturising lotion is KEY to keeping my skin in good shape during the harsh winters!
I need a massage so badly!!!!!!! Warm hands!!
I sleep on my side.
I shave in the winter. Never know when a pool invite might come along.
Yay
https://twitter.com/tcarolinep/status/287697004778377216
I shave my legs everyday in the shower when the conditioner is sitting/soaking in. It’s such a habit now! It’s funny how we have our shower routines…
yay! back to sephora!
Watching my cat play with a paper bag is better than the football game that’s on lol
Cheers Karen, hope you’re having a great start to the weekend. I can only sleep on my tum, nothing else is comfortable!
Cheers Karen, hope you’re having a good start to the weekend 🙂 I’m a belly sleeper, it’s the only way I can spread out on the whole bed!
I had a sleepover on New Year’s Eve with a high school friend. Both of our SO’s couldn’t be with us so we decided to spend it together! 🙂
I always shave my legs in the winter, even though I’m currently living in cold, snowy NH.
My birthday’s coming up soon. I just got a postcard from Sephora about this year’s gift.
I never went to a slumber party, but I did have my bangs cut too short. Fun times.
I’m pretty sure that this is disgusting and nobody needs to know this, but I don’t get rid of leg hair in the winter. (I don’t shave or wax them, I prefer depilatories.) From October to April, I just let the hair grow out. Since it’s cold here, I’m always wearing long pants, so it doesn’t even matter. But when I was in high school and had to wear a uniform for P.E., I’d wear knee-high socks with my shorts.
Omg that sphynx reminds me of my Merv, except that my damn *cat* gets the worst chin blackheads and he’s stark naked so there’s no hiding it. Cat foundation, it needs to happen. 😛
I don’t shave my legs often in the winter, and I think this Winter has been particularly cold.
My cousin spent the night at my house twice this Christmas season as she was home on break and we took advantage of the whole slumber party bit.
It’s officially winter here now. Burr.
Hi Karen!
I actually just got my hair cut, I wished I’d got my bangs cut a bit shorter, as they’re a bit long!
Thanks for the chance!
It’s summer in Sydney and I’m trying to decide which of the many coral nail polishes I own to paint on my tips and toes!
I should be writing my 15 page paper but I’m on this blog instead.
My hubby doesn’t even want to step foot inside Sephora!
I used to LOVE slumber parties!! We often had talent shows at mine, and we’d choreograph elaborate dance routines!
My boyfriend went back to college today, so tomorrow I have some straightening up to do before the week starts up again. Wishing he was still here!
i always trim my own bangs in between haircuts.
I’ve been growing my nails out for the winter break, but I dunno what colour to paint ’em for when I go back to school tomorrow! Can’t wait to bring out the bright colours for spring and summer, though. 😀
I think I need to get my princess of a kitty her own brush or two because she’s always trying to play with mine!
I sleep on my side, but it really messes up my back. Hmm, New Year’s Resolution idea…?
I usually sleep on my side. ^^
Karen! I’ve been a fan for years now but this is the first time I’ve ever commented on one of these, or any of your other posts.
Here’s a little brand-dropping; Have you ever tried anything forLa Roche Posay? I’ve been breaking out lately (stress of finals, poor diet, lack of sleep) and their Effaclar Duo is absolutely amazing. Give it a try if your combo skin gets irritated!
I just had to add my two cents Leslie. That Effaclar Duo is like liquid gold to me. Seriously my desert item product. I can’t rave enough about how much it has helped my skin. I should be a spokesperson for them, I accost random strangers in CVS and push this into their hands 🙂 ha ha!
I sleep on my side! i don’t like to sleep on my back because i get sleep paralysis 🙁
I was a controlling jerk at my slumber parties. I dictated where everybody slept LOL! It’s a wonder I had any friends. Hope you had a great de-stressing day with your peeps!
I hate when my bangs are cut too short!
Super please! I need the Ole Henriksen Vitamin Plus!
Once I had a hair dresser who was just supposed to tidy up some layers for me. She said she’d do a shorter layer chin length but I think she slipped or something and somehow they ended up just below my eyes! Accidental bang-chunks – not pretty.
My BFF and I loved slumber parties when we were young!!! We lived right down the street from each other, so that made it easy!
My last slumber party is just today. Today I organized the first sleepover for my niece of 10 years and their best friends. It will be amazing to share with my niece this great and fun time. A big hug from Costa Rica.
I actually had a slumber party last night with four of the high schoolers in my youth group. Hair, nails, Pitch Perfect, and 10 Things I Hate About You.
I definitely sleep on my sides or stomach. For some reason any time I sleep on my back I have nightmares. Thanks!
I gave up on bad haircuts and now I do it myself. Scary and satisfying! =)
i really want to play with the DIOR Cherie Bow Collection!
I sleep on my side!
I think my last slumber party was in high school. Six of us girls would get together and have them.

I would love this!
just gave my poor little tabby a bath… he came back from being boarded over christmas with a few fleas:( vacuuming and washing everything I can!
I just had my appendix out this week!! What a start to a new year…
My last slumber party was high school – I avoided all the drama by staying up all night reading my best friends wonderful selection of Nancy Drew mysteries -I used to love them!
I sleep on my back
It’s cold outside brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 🙂
I have a memory of falling asleep to a metronome at a slumber party …. apparently I needed it? hahaha Also … yes, a $50 gift card would be wonderous!
i need to plan a slumber party real soon ….
Up to when I was five I always had a short, blunt bob with straight bangs. Since I have a rather large head, I ended up looking like a mushroom. After that, I’ve kept my hair length medium to long ever since I had a choice in my haircut. Still, I look back at that bob quite fondly now, since it was very easy to maintain and it did suit me as a child 🙂
Speaking of Sephora, the Caudalie Divine Oil is, quite possibly, the most intoxicating scent in the world!
Have you tried any Tom Ford eyeshadow palettes Karen? Please let us
know your thoughts on them, would love to see swatches too!!!
Its cooold! I am under 2 blankets!
I’m thinking about getting bangs again!
I love slumber parties especially the ones at other people’s houses where I don’t have to clean up afterwards 😉
I sleep on my side and I do shave in the winter..especially if I’m getting a pedicure. I hate having hairy legs around my nail tech.
been sick all week and got some terrible news. need cheering up
You have officially made me want to plan a sleepover! popcorn, girly movies, comfy pjs, booze and some facial masks to soothe our skin! xoxo
My hair is wavy so I don’t wear bangs but i’m tempted to get side swept ones to change my do.
I’ve been writing and working on my master’s thesis like crazy for the past month or two! Sometimes when I need a break, I go online and look at makeup or browse your posts for some favourites to add to my ever-growing wish list!
I firmly believe in 6 degrees of separation.
hello lady and tabies! 🙂 just discovered your site a few days ago and since then, i’ve reading your posts everyday! lol… i need a life eh?!
anyhoo… random talk – in an attempt to make dumplings today, i sliced of part of my nail and flesh underneath it, however the result of dumplings are so worth it!! yumms!!
cheers!
I am a new Sephora fan and would absolutely love winning a $50 gift certificate!
I sleep on my side. 🙂
too short bangs + cowlick = not a good look
I shave my legs once a week, usually on Saturdays, although I was lazy this morning and skipped it.
I always shave my legs, no matter the season or weather. I get itchy after even a day or two.
I can never fall asleep unless I am on my side.
Always sleep on my tummy-now it’s catching up with me and I’m getting wrinkley on the left side of my face not the right 🙂
I just bought a new Essie nail polish – Big Spender – and I absolutely LOVE it! My other fave right now is L’Oreal Butterfly Kisses. ♥
Yay for giveaways!
My well-meaning mother used to cut them straight across. She can’t understand why I pay a few bucks to have them trimmed in-between hair appointments. Sorry, mom, but there’s a protection order on my bangs.
I sleep on my stomach which is so awful for my back! I’m trying to learn to sleep on my side!
I am taking control of my makeup spending habits!
I always sleep on my side.
It’s snowing again here – I am so ready for spring and winter just started!
Despite how I resolve to lose weight each year, I still eat nachos whenever I see them.
I don’t shave my armpits in the winter but will occasionally shave my legs.
I’m a side sleeper!

I loved slumber parties so much as a kid! Hope you have a great time!
I love sleeping on my back, but being preggers, I have to sleep on my side. 🙁
I use to have slumber parties all the time when I was a kid, but now I only feel comfortable sleeping in my own bed !
Happy New Year to you! Thank you for everything that you do for your followers!
I used to love slumber parties! but now that I’m a mom I understand why my mom didn’t agree. I shave my legs in winter when I wear tights. Otherwise too uncomfortable. BTW have you discovered the $4.99 Fleece lined tights at Walgreens? OMG fashion must have and super warm and cozy. hurry before they sell out. would love to win- want one of the Benefit eye kits at Sephora. thanks for the chance!
Right now I’m thiking about polishes from China Glaze Avant Garden collection, I love almost ever signle one of them 🙂
I just saw the Hobbit…and now have a confusing crush on a Dwarf. My husband thinks it’s hilarious.
I sleep on my stomach, although I need to be a side or back sleeper so I don’t crinkle up my face on the pillow.
It’s Florida, you have to shave year round!
I would buy some lipsticks if I had extra fun cash
I sleep my side. This way is more comfortable for me.
So cold!
I wasn’t allowed to go to slumber parties when I was a kid. My mom was way overprotective. Ah, well…and speaking of childhood, I haven’t had bangs since I was a teenager when an older cousin of mine told me if I didn’t have bangs I wouldn’t break out, especially on my forehead. She was right….20 years later I still have perfectly clear skin, thank goodness!
I ate way too much pizza for dinner… I need to start a cleanse ASAP -_-
I recently got my first cat about 2 months ago after wanting one for a long time. Now I can’t imagine my life without one and am totally smitten with her.
I sleep on my side but have been trying to sleep on my back since I heard it prevents wrinkles!
I think I have pretty much slept in almost every single position. School is brutal and I’ve fallen asleep in my chair (pretty sure I bruised a vertebra lol), the floor propped against a wall. >_< But of course…a fluffy pillow and bed combo is the best 😉

I really should be sleeping since I have to work early in the morning, but it is so much fun reading these blogs!
Today was my grandma’s 79th birthday! I spent the day with her and her boyfriend. While she dozed in the backseat I asked her boyfriend how they met. His eyes lit up as he told me all about their 30 year relationship. It was too sweet. 🙂
I’ve never done slumber parties. Its kind of sad. 🙁
Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh so tired!! Been a long week and a long holiday season working in retail but super excited cuz I’ll be on vacation in just three weeks…whaaaaahooooo!!! 😉
this cold weather sucks! stay warm! 🙂
I loved slumber parties as a kid.
I love Sephora!!!!
I love sleepovers! Hot chocolate, jumping on the bed ! Acting like your 7 all over again :), who doesnt find that fun?… Now Im all grouchy and roll over 50x an hour like Julian from Big Daddy! Woot 🙂
Today has been a long, pretty boring day. I painted my nails and watched tv shows most of the day. Hope tomorrows better. 🙂
I can’t wait to watch Les Mis!
I love hotyoga inc!
I sleep on my side.
Sleeping on back, ftw!
Brrr welcome January.
I sleep on my side, mostly the right side.
I can only sleep on my side, mostly the left. I’ve tried changing it, but I always wake up like this.
I try cutting my fiance hair and did it so bad it was a horrible experience for me and him 🙂 i thought it wass easy 🙂
Just a suggestion… You should post more skincare advice u have really nice skin!! What is your current skin care routine?
I mostly sleep on my back but I occasionally sleep on my side.
tummy sleeper!
My daughter cut her bangs…to her scalp. I went to a Prince concert and came home to shenanigans. Me no likey.
Going to see Les Miserables tomorrow, so excited! Finally, lol!
I have had my bangs cut way tooooo short – I grew them out and haven’t looked back since. I also cut my cat’s whiskers when I was little (sort of the ‘bangs’ of a cat)….that got me in to A LOT of trouble! 🙂
I am obsessed with the cartoon Adventure Time on Cartoon Network!
I use to have slumber parties with all my sisters when we were kiddies. It was so much fun..
My bf is trying to take an interest in shopping with me but I feel uncomfortable and rarely buys anything when he’s with me T_T
Slept on my stomach with both arms under my pillow till age 35 when I got pregnant and was advised to sleep on my left side!
Slumber party lol I’m 46 that was many many years ago…
I am a side sleeper.
I shave regardless of the season.
I hope you tell us about The Claremont; it’s supposed to be ritzy, no?
Howdy!
I try to sleep on my back (less wrinkles) but end up sleeping on my side sometimes. Not as meticulous about shaving in winter since I wear tights, but will get bored and shave and swap out for black, grey or navy stockings.
Been trying out the “Heattech” stuff from Uniqlo (there’s a b & m store in the City I’d like to visit). It’s definitely warm for its weight; they have camisoles, turtlenecks, tights, socks, yadda yadda…
i have a slumber party coming up for my bffy wedding!
I go as long as I can between shaves in the winter. I like to imagine the little bit of hair keeps my legs slightly warmer 😉
I’d love to get some new makeup to start the new year =). Happy belated New Year’s to everyone =P.
I definitely take every opportunity I can to NOT shave my legs 😉
I shave my legs once a month in the winter lol
I have to shave my lower legs once a week all year or the skin starts getting really rough no matter how much exfoliating I do otherwise. My thighs don’t get shaved as often in the winter though.
I am definitely guilty of not shaving my legs much in the winter (maybe once a week). However, I just have to shave my underarms every day, regardless of what I am wearing. I don’t really know why, but I feel not ready if I haven’t shaved. weird.
On a different note, thanks so much for this giveaway! I am a total beauty girl, and would love to win. I have my eye on some OCC lip tars, and I would definitely buy them if I win. NSFW, you would be mine!
I don’t have a lot of hair on my legs so I don’t shave very often in the winter.
Winter shaving? What a crazy idea! 😉
I had bangs a few months ago.. Thats the first and last time I’ve had bangs and I’m in the process of growing them out now.. Never ever again! lol
Can’t wait to get the nail polishes I ordered.
I missed having slumber parties! I’m sure u had a blast.
I’m chilling out at home right now, just had a cup of instant cappuccino (I’m too lazy to head out)… Watching a Korean drama dubbed in Chinese while surfing the web to catch up on various blogs and forums. This is how I usually spend my Sundays.
I had the wonderful idea of getting bangs, but since I was a little short on money I did it myself…BAAAADDD idea, I ended up looking like Floyd from Dumb and Dumber, and my wonderful look lasted for months since my hair takes forever to grow…hahahaha
I’d lurve a Clairisonic!!
Karen, thank you so much for being so generous with the giveaways!
I love that pic above, all you “kitty model” pics are so clever and funny. My mom really gets a kick out of them too- whenever you post new ones I make sure to bookmark to show her later. They always make her smile…so thank you for making my mom smile 🙂
I used to make homemade personal pan pizzas at my slumber parties. 🙂 They were SOOOOOOO good.
For me, shaving my legs is synonymous with ubiquitous 🙂
Love the individuality and personality of your blog. You should do a meetup in the Bay Area!!
I tend to sleep on my back and sides 🙂
I’m more likely to shave my legs in the summer than during any other time of year, but I just don’t care enough to do it regularly even then.
Sephora really is an awesome store. I could spend hours looking at everything in there too.
I had one bangs incident. I wanted to have straight bangs going through my whole forehead because they were very trendy. My hair stylist tried to talk me out of it but I still did it. 5 minutes later of course I was almost crying so my hair stylist had to fix it and cut it shorter so I could wear it to the side. Fortunately my hair grows fast 🙂
I do have dark spots on my face and have a hard time concealing them. I like mufe full coverage concealer but I’m still on a search for something better.
I never had any bangs, but only because my hair is so curly it would be suicidal. In an imaginay world I do have pretty bangs…
Karen, hope you are having a wonderful New Years so far! I just shaved for the first time in about 2 weeks, but it seems like I did a terrible job and still have some fuzz! Anyone reading this comment, DO NOT try the EOS shaving cream. It is terrible and I can never tell what I’m shaving or not shaving, and to top it off it seems that the pump is broken on my bottle because I have about half a bottle left. 🙁
I wax my leg during winter because of my boyfriend : my really hairy legs are not sexy at all…
I love this blog. It has inspired me to start my own and share my makeup info and discoveries from over a decade of buying, collecting, and comparing products!
In my country you have to be 16 years old to get citizenship and i just turned 16 last oct.<3No shaving on winter!thought it would give these poor skin break form pulling and tugging! 🙂
I had sleepovers at my best friend’s house every weekend when I was jr high. Fun times!
Haven’t had a slumber party since I was in high school!
I sleep on my side.
Also, I just discovered a mail forwarding service that lets me order online, have it shipped to a US address, and the company forwards it to me in the Philippines. How cool is that? First thought was: Sephora!
So if I win the gift card, I’ll have a Sephora shopping spree whee!
Just bought 2 new lipsticks from Artdeco. Love em!

I love Sephora! It’s like a playground for me and makes me so so excited! I haven’t been to a sleepover before though…
I was a kid at my last slumber party
Anyone hear about the cat that had tools taped to it, trying to get into the prison to help in a jail break? Lol it’s pretty funny. I saw it on CNN.com on the sidebar to the left.
Slumber parties were so cool as a kid, now I sleep so early that I ruin the fun xD
I am suffering through some haircuts trying to get the right bangs for my short forehead. I kind of like them sweeping to the side but we aren’t there yet.
I had my bangs cut too shortly and it was a nightmare because I tend to ruin my eyebrows and rely on my bangs to cover my mess.
I do shave my legs in the winter, just not as often as I do in the summer.
Side sleeper!
I love my cat more than anything!
My kittens have doubled in size in the last month!

Hate winter
Can’t wait for spring
I am a side sleeper! 🙂
Once when I was about five or six, my little brother cut my bangs while I was sleeping! After that, I had to wear them pushed to the side so his handiwork wasn’t so noticeable.
I like sleeping on my belly!
My husband is going on a mission trip; so my sister is coming to visit for an overnight. With wine and chocolate, I call that a slumber party!
The last time I had bangs was the mid-1990’s. Had to give it up because no matter what I did to make tyhem lie flat, my wavy hair would reassert itself by mid day and I ended up with the wonkiest fringe imaginable. Not a flattering look and really not the image I wanted to project at work.
Hi Karen,
Yesterday was the first day of my running club. I am training to do my first half marathon this summer. So excited!!! Have a great weekend! 🙂
I went to sephora yesterday evening before picking up the Hubs from work, in the hopes of finding the new Make Up For Ever pro foundation. But they have not stocked it yet. I became lost, looking around at all the new items, then I get a call from the husband, “where are you? You went into sephora an hour ago?!” Yikes lol
I’m enjoying the winters coz where I live (Mumbai, India) it’s just wonderfully cool and breezy. No need for heavy woollies, just light cardigans are enough, or even not those.
Wouldn’t I just LOVE to win the Sephora gift card??? My birthday is next week and winning the gift card would be icing on the cake!!!
I am definitely a side sleeper.
I sleep on my tummy and my side, I move a lot
Thank you so much for the lovely giveaway.. No matter how i try i cant quit buying make up 🙂
I shave my legs daily year round. I hate stubble.
My hair it’s so dark, I could never get away with not shaving during the winter.
I need jan to end now!!
X-mas is over and i wish it was summer 🙂
I normally shave during the winter time because I find it to be much faster and less painful in my opinion.
I’m ready for summer too!
I have really thick hair and so when I went in to get some blunt bangs the lady decided not to use enough of my hair to have that blunt bang look so my bangs came out very …thin? =( I was mortified
I really need to get some more powder but no dough right now.
I sleep on my tummy, cuddled up with my pillow.
I’m contemplating cutting bangs at my next hair appointment..I usually regret it though!
I sleep on my stomach.
Oh heavens, have I ever had bangs too short, it’s the worst!!
Fingers crossed. Happy New Year to all.
Haha I don’t shave in the winter because no one sees my bare legs at all during this time of year!! Even if I had to expose my legs, I don’t have much leg hair so I could still go without shaving if I really wanted to!
I live in GA andnwinter pretty much just started! Hate it
I need a makeover!
I would LOVE tips for facial skin discoloration….
I am a side sleeper.
I rarely shave in winter.

I sleep on my right side. sounds like you girls had a fun time.
I’m a stomach, side and back sleeper. I tend to roll around a lot!
When I was a kid I would watch The Princess Bride at most of my slumber parties!
I feel like eating chips and popcorn.
I think my side sleeping caused some of my eye wrinkles. I wonder if it could have been prevented! Too late now…
Hot chocolate is the best in winter.
This would make me feel a whole lot better about my frequent shopping expeditions at Sephora :X
last slumber party was in Nov’12 the girls and I went to Vegas as a 10 year anniversary trip· NO kids husbands or chores, just drinks, food, gambling,drag queens and fun.WE ARE already planning for our next get away.
Id love to win…so many things I want to buy.
This past week I purchased my first ever M.A.C. makeup and first ever NARS blush!
Every time I try to cut my bangs, always too short.
Have so much fun at Claremont Hotel spa day with your gf’s! So jealous, I wish I was having one 😀
I do NOT shave my legs in the winter, since they are all covered up. I’m the scary spider lady! 🙂
It’s never truly “winter” here, but I really don’t feel like shaving my legs too often at all! Yay for pants 😀
I agree with with @solangel. I have a great aesthetician and go to her for waxing when it becomes really bad, just to avoid shaving my legs. =)
Last slumber party walast night!s(I feel like its an awesome slumber partay every time the cats get sleep in the bedroom!). I’m a tummy.sleeper, I’m not sure there are too many of us out there! Thanks for giveaway!
I’m watching football while waiting for the laundry to finish. I’m rewarding myself with an at-home manicure.
I sleep on my tummy but I’m trying to stop. The way I tuck my arm up under my head is messing up my shoulder. It’s really hard though to change how you sleep after 30 years! 🙁
I sleep on my tummy. =]
I sleep on my side
Hmmm… I hate shaving! And I sleep with lots n lots of pillows!! 8)
I haven’t had bangs since I was 9.
Never had bangs too short, but I had bangs that looked pretty crooked for a lot of my childhood.
i am back sleeper most of the time!
pick me!
tmi but I don’t shave my legs in the winter
I like to sleep on my sides and back.
When I was in middle school, I tried to cut my bangs myself. Oh my…

Ive been too nervous to try bangs!
I got a tattoo of a strawberry on my foot!
I sleep on a combination of my back, side and stomach. I’m kind of a thrasher.
yay gieaway
I do still wax my legs in the winter, but don’t stay as on top of it as in the summer.
Great giveaway! Why don’t you do a post about your makeup collection and how you organize and storage it. It would be very cool!
you caught me! I am way too lazy to shave my legs in the winter.
I thought Tabs was having a sleep over at first!
I’m a side sleeper. I fade my skin discolorations , usually with Ambi cream (cheap and effective). I’m dark-skinned, so my discolorations are almost black and nearly impossible to fully cover.
A slumber party sounds like so much fun!
I was looking into getting that Zella hoodie you talked about some time ago, but looks like they are not available anymore… so sad!
I stay over at my childhood best friend’s house almost every weekend. Does that count as a slumber party?
I hope you had so much fun with your friends at your slumber/spa party! Thanks so much for having this giveaway! 🙂
You are almost solely responsible for my Becca addiction, and I’m so grateful!
When I was little, my parents never let me go to slumber parties 🙁 but I had a great one these break!
I am a dedicated back sleeper 🙂
I have a slumber party with my best friend almost every weekend. We’re 25 but exactly like sisters.
Happy Sunday!
I LOVE MAKEUP! OH YEA!
My lips have been so chapped lately, but a new lip butter acquisition from Korres will hopefully remedy this situation 🙂
At 45, I’m having a makeup midlife crisis! A Sephora gift certificate would be the perfect solution. Thanks for the opportunity!
Yay, this would be great for things Santa forgot to bring me 😉
I would love to get Benefit’s She’s so Jetset kit before it sells out!
I would love to win this.
I definatelly shave my legs in winter!
I sleep on my stomach! Only way I’ll fall asleep quickly!
I need a haircut!
In other everyday news, I have been playing with looks using my new Naked and Naked 2 palettes (not that these haven’t been around a while) I just discovered them as of late…. and I am in LOVE!
I also never knew I could pull off a cat-eye look! MEOW!
Excited for a chance to win a giftcard to try out more new and exciting makeup and beauty products! Yay!
I haven’t had a slumber party in forever! I really want to now, though. Get my BFF and a bunch of Disney movies and go to town!
I don’t shave my legs in the winter 😛
I sleep on my side
Had a slumber party for my sister in law’s bachelorette party a few months ago. Was pretty fun.
I’ve decided to go back to school. I’m excited but scared. It’s been going on 15 years since I set foot into a school.
i always end up sleeping on my back no matter how much i move around. just thinking about it makes me want to take a nap haha
I could do with a spa visit right now.
where do the weekends go?
Well I’ll be 32 on the 16th do I feel any older not really I still look 25 thank God for good genes 🙂
I could really use a massage right about now………and every day for that matter.
I sleep on my side.
I’m expecting so I’m only able to sleep on my side!
Totally wish I had a slumber party/ spa day this weekend… Sad face but instead I had a good weekend with the hubs and little one! We also officially booked our trip to Houston!
I accidentally cut my bangs too short all the time.
just got a haircut!
I just got back to school, 2nd quarter freshman! Go UCLA!
Hello T-Money and K-Dawg! My lower back has been sore for a while. I blame it on getting older (which makes me sad). I have adjusted my bed sleep number to a cushier setting. Hope it works! What do you do when your muscles aren’t cooperating with your energy level?
I need some new foundation so this would be great!
I have hyperpigmented eyelids, I use Smashbox eyelid primer to even out the color! love it.
I toss and turn and then inevitably wind up sleeping on my back.
I’ve got to remove a glitter manicure tonight. I’m glad to know about the foil method, but still dreading the hassle.
I just realized my brow shade I’ve been using has shimmer in it. Boo 🙁
Hanging out with girl friends is also fun, regardless of when and how we hang out!
I sleep on my side with my head cornered between pillows. I sleep in the fetus position.
I rarely shave my legs in winter. My boyfriend seems to think the blonde peach fuzz that grows in is cute, so I just go with it!:D
I sleep in every position possible. That probably explains why I am a zombie all day.
I’d love to buy that nars tinted moisturizer if I win!!!!
I still have slumber parties with my girlfriends! (We’re in our mid-20s and lead otherwise adult lives, I promise)
I love that you include your cat in your cat in everything! I love my kitties!
I need to go to more slumber parties!
Love being able to finally master curling my hair with a flat iron
Hope you had a fun slumber party!!! 🙂
I start off sleeping on my back but somehow shift to my side during the night…although the past week it’s been tough to sleep comfortably with a cat sleeping on my legs!
I sleep on my stomach
The longer my hair gets, the more I have to wash it and I’m feeling like it needs to get chopped because I just wear it in messy buns, anyway.
Love spa day get togethers with friends & it’s been a long time since my last one! I’m jealous!!! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
I am definitely a side sleeper!
Did my first sensationails manicure 5 days ago. Love the staying power !
I only went to one slumber party when I was a kid, and it was a disaster. I refused to ever go to one again. :/
I usually begin by lying on my back, then end up switching to my side or tummy over the night!
Thanks for the chance, I love Sephora!
Finally finished modifying and fixing my boyfriend’s old boots, and I NEED to do a blog post about them!
I love couscous with garbanzo beans! 😀
I once cut my hair super short and decided heavy anime bands would look spectacular with it. So insane, it took forever to grow out!!
Woo hoo! Mama wants a Urban Decay Eyeshadow she has been stalking at sephora.
I very, very rarely shave/epilate in wintertime. I need the extra warmth! 😛
