Somebody play with me! 🤗 There’s a list of the questions down at the bottom of this post. Just copy and paste them into a comment with your answers.
Inquiring minds want to know: Which person are you?
1. The person whose messy bun is legitimately messy because she can barely be bothered to brush her hair, OR, the person who takes five tries to achieve a perfectly messy bun?
Me: Legit messy, homie. I did NOT purposefully design the stray hairs on my head to shoot out at crazy-@ss angles… I call the look “struck by lightning” chic.
2. The person who paints her toenails and then smudges the paint on her big toe after taking one step (!), OR, the person who paints her fingernails right before bed and ends up with dents and creases all over her manicure?
Me: Uh…both people? I’ve done the big toe smudge sooooo many more times, though, so I’ll go with that.
3. The person who accidentally burns off a chunk of hair with a flat iron or hair curler, OR, the person who accidentally rips off a chunk of upper lip skin while waxing?
Me: I don’t mess with heat stylers that reach temperatures capable of baking cookies, so no to that; however, I am definitely the person who rips off a chunk of skin while waxing! Been there, done that.
4. The person with a massively chipped gel mani, OR, the person with a massive collection of split ends?
Me: I’ll take split ends for $1,000, Alex.
5. The person who cuts off lopsided bangs in the middle of the night, OR, the person who waxes off half an eyebrow in the middle of the night?
Me: Ha ha ha, BOTH! 😂
6. The person who changes out of the previous night’s pajamas first thing in the morning before donning another pair of fresh “daytime pajamas” for the day ahead, OR, the person who has completely given up on wearing pants altogether?
Me: I’m currently in the “one pair of pajamas into the next” phase, but I see a complete lack of pants in my near future… I give it another week.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Happy hump day! 😀🤙
1. Legit messy bun, or five tries to achieve it?
Too legit to quit!
2. Big toe nail smudge, or dents on manicure?
I’ve been able to avoid the former by recycling my toe separators. And, since I don’t have to go into the office, I can start my pedi way early in the morning and have it dry before going to bed at night.
3. Burn off a chunk of hair, or rip off a chunk of upper lip?
Neither, thank goodness.
4. Massively chipped gel mani, or massive split ends?
Neither, thank goodness.
5. Lopsided bangs, or half an eyebrow?
Unfortunate curtain micro bang (YES BOTH) situation. Luckily, hair grows fast in this environment and that my cut is one that only needs bang trims at this juncture.
6. Never ending pajamas, or #teamnopants?
#teamnopants!
Happy ….. uh …. Wednesday?, YEAH WEDNESDAY!

1. Legit messy bun, or five tries to achieve it? five tries and then gives up, because my hair is too baby fine and will not stay up.
2. Big toe nail smudge, or dents on manicure? definitely the manicure, so I finally had to give up doing my nails at night!
3. Burn off a chunk of hair, or rip off a chunk of upper lip? I totally burned of a chunk of my bangs ( and burned my forehead) with a curling iron in high school.
4. Massively chipped gel mani, or massive split ends? Never had a gel mani, but I am notorious for running around with chipped nails because I am too lazy to get out the nail polish remover and take it off!
5. Lopsided bangs, or half an eyebrow? I have both trimmed my bangs and left them lopsided, and over-tweezed my eyebrows, and now thanks to hormones, I am permanently missing half of both eyebrows. Thank goodness for brow pencils.
6. Never ending pajamas, or #teamnopants? Neither, but I have pretty much lived in sweat pants for the last 6 weeks that I have worked from home. Did you hear that there is a small town in, I think Maryland, where the local police had to send out a request that people remember to wear pants when they go out to check their mailboxes? I hope they were at least wearing clean underwear! Can you imagine that many people going to the mailbox without pants? What’s up with that? P.S. thank you for posting your oatmeal cookie recipe – can’t wait to try it! ( and the flour thing is universal, because I cannot find flour in the ‘burbs of Atlanta, either.)
1. Legit messy bun, or five tries to achieve it?
Messy all the way! Although I’m noticing some thinning at my crown so I’m wondering if it’s due to a lifetime of messy buns!?!?
2. Big toe nail smudge, or dents on manicure?
BOTH! But definitely more often the sheet marks!
3. Burn off a chunk of hair, or rip off a chunk of upper lip?
Fortunately neither. I now use an eyebrow shaper to “shave” my moustache! LOL
4. Massively chipped gel mani, or massive split ends?
Fortunately, neither!
5. Lopsided bangs, or half an eyebrow?
Half an eyebrow! I’ve been doing my own for the past few years and golly, if I pluck just one hair too many, my brows will be all screwed up!
6. Never ending pajamas, or #teamnopants?
My FAVE question! Definitely, my nighttime PJs transitions into daytime PJs/house clothes/daytime PJs. I’m the odd neighbor walking her dog in PJs, her cowboy boots, and my winter parka. #quarantinefashion!
1. Legit messy bun, or five tries to achieve it?
Totally legit, I have no patience when it comes to hair styling.
2. Big toe nail smudge, or dents on manicure?
Ugh, dents!!!
3. Burn off a chunk of hair, or rip off a chunk of upper lip?
Neither!
4. Massively chipped gel mani, or massive split ends?
Split ends, it’s been soooo long since I’ve had a haircut. I’ve been side eyeing my scissors again, but I’m trying not to give into the urge to cut my own hair.
5. Lopsided bangs, or half an eyebrow?
I have very short bangs, I trim them myself so lopsided is a total possibility.
6. Never ending pajamas, or #teamnopants?
You know…I could do either. Loungewear is life.
1. Legit messy bun, or five tries to achieve it? Legit messy bun
2. Big toe nail smudge, or dents on manicure? Both? But I’ll say big toe smudge
3. Burn off a chunk of hair, or rip off a chunk of upper lip? Neither…wtf?
4. Massively chipped gel mani, or massive split ends? Both. Split ends since my nails are rarely painted ever actually
5. Lopsided bangs, or half an eyebrow? Lopsided bangs
6. Never ending pajamas, or #teamnopants? Neither. I hate loungewear. I wear PJs to bed. I get dressed in actual clothes during the day even in quarantine. I only stay in PJs if I’m sick and I’m not sick. And I’m nooooo nakey person. Real clothes. Cute tops, sweaters, jeans, pants, fresh socks and undergarments. No ugly schlumpy lazy only when I’m really sick loungewear (or active wear unless I’m physically working out but it is off once I’m done)!!!!!!

1. Legit messy bun, or five tries to achieve it? Legit messy bun. It’d take more than 5 tries to get the perfect messy bun for me. And it’d cause too much angst.
2. Big toe nail smudge, or dents on manicure? Big toe smudge. I only attempt a mani every 5 years when I forget that I’m totally hopeless at it.

Legit messy
2. Big toe nail smudge, or dents on manicure?
Dents
3. Burn off a chunk of hair, or rip off a chunk of upper lip?
Upper lip :'(
4. Massively chipped gel mani, or massive split ends?
Chipped gel mani, of course
5. Lopsided bangs, or half an eyebrow?
Lopsided bangs!
6. Never ending pajamas, or #teamnopants?
#teamnopants
1. Legit messy bun, or five tries to achieve it?
Legit messy bun, because my styling abilities aren’t good.
2. Big toe nail smudge, or dents on manicure?
I don’t paint my toe nails a lot so I have to choose dents.
3. Burn off a chunk of hair, or rip off a chunk of upper lip?
Can I change the rip off for cutting? Because while shaving I’ve cut myself a lot.
4. Massively chipped gel mani, or massive split ends?
Split ends, I can’t stand chipped Mani.
5. Lopsided bangs, or half an eyebrow?
When I was around 5 I cut my hair myself, and in the end my parents solved it with a buzz cut, so I’ll go with bangs.
6. Never ending pajamas, or #teamnopants?
I’m wearing short daily, in which category it enters?
1. Legit messy bun, or five tries to achieve it?
Legit messy bun, homies! Well – my hair is a little short right now for a messy bun. I either need to grow it out, or commit to bringing my undercut higher again so I can pile my hair on top of my head even when it’s only chin-length. Although the undercut thing would require me asking my boyfriend to cut my hair and I do NOT see that happening, lol!
2. Big toe nail smudge, or dents on manicure?
Dents on manicure 100%. Good lord, I need to redo my nails. *hides head in shame*
3. Burn off a chunk of hair, or rip off a chunk of upper lip?
More likely to rip off a chunk of upper lip, lol! I haven’t used heat stylers in soooo long.
4. Massively chipped gel mani, or massive split ends?
Neither at the moment – only because I don’t get manis, and because my hair is short so split ends aren’t as much of a thing.
5. Lopsided bangs, or half an eyebrow?
Oooh… I’m much more in danger of the bangs thing since I’m trimming my own at the mo.
6. Never ending pajamas, or #teamnopants?
#teamnopants though honestly I defect to never ending pajamas pretty regularly too.
1. Legit messy bun, or five tries to achieve it? messy bun all the way
2. Big toe nail smudge, or dents on manicure? big toe is my big enemy! i can never get it to look just right like when i get a professional pedi
3. Burn off a chunk of hair, or rip off a chunk of upper lip? luckily i haven’t done either! I am off heat for hair and I am now a pro at upper lip waxing. I use the pre waxed strips which u only have to warm with your hands, so no chance of burning yourself. HIGHLY RECOMMEND (Nad’s Facial Hair Removal Strips – I get mine at ULTA)
pro tip: I havve cut these in half and waxed my brows in a pinch! and it worked great as well!
4. Massively chipped gel mani, or massive split ends? well i soaked off my gel mani so i guess split ends
5. Lopsided bangs, or half an eyebrow? haha so far so good. I don’t have bangs and my eyebrow game is still strong. see #3
6. Never ending pajamas, or #teamnopants? team leggings! 😀
