When I worked in San Francisco, I used to walk through this building every day on my way to the office.

During the week I like doing full face looks with foundation, eye makeup — the whole nine yards — but the weekends are a different story.
If I’m just gonna lounge around the house or run errands, I might just wear a little tinted moisturizer, concealer, brow powder, blush and gloss.
It depends, but unless I have big plans, I usually won’t spend much time on my makeup on Saturday and Sunday. Unless, of course, I’m just playing around. 🙂

P.S. Have you ever seen Buena Vista Social Club? I can’t believe I never have. I’m watching it right now and being kinda blown away. GREAT MUSIC!
How’s it going tonight? Are you ready for Monday? Sorry, that’s a terrible question. I’m not ready, LOL! I’ll hang in there if you do.

When I was a little girl, I always looked forward to the animated Christmas specials they showed on TV every year. It seems like there aren’t as many of them as there used to be, cartoons like A Charlie Brown Christmas and Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer…
That reminds me — things have been slowing down lately for Tabs with his modeling career, and he’s had to resort to doing voice work for holiday specials like this one (click here to see the video).
I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend, ladies. Tabs says hi (actually, he’s napping on the couch right now). 🙂

Yesterday I took a walk along the Embarcadero in San Francisco.

MY BEST:
Finally (after seven months!) getting my hair cut, and I’ve got bangs! Now I don’t feel like I’m carrying around a small animal on my head.
MY WORST:
I guess I haven’t gotten enough sleep lately because my dark circles kicked into overdrive, 🙁 and none of my usual tricks are working. On the bright side, it gives me a good excuse to try a new concealer! 🙂
What were your best and worst beauty experiences of the week? Please share yours in the comments.

P.S. How’s it going today? I’m taking it slow and steady this morning. I watched part of So I Married An Axe Murderer on Hulu while I had my coffee. That movie cracks me up every time, like the part where they’re dancing “like children of the night!” I so want to do that.

P.S. Lunch in the city today was a lot of fun, and I think I got some good pictures of the ferry building. I hope your Saturday’s treating you well. 🙂
