** THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **
This giveaway is closed, and the winner has been contacted (CONGRATULATIONS, ISIS THE CAT (AKA JESSICA)!!!), but check back next Saturday for another giveaway.
Weird! I just looked up the term “cutie patootie” in the dictionary, and right there on the page was a picture of Zac Efron!
Fo’ reals, though. 🙂
Girl, how come you didn’t tell me to watch 17 Again sooner!? It was such a cute movie! And I love movies like that. I feel like I really dropped the ball on that one by not watching it sooner… LOL!
Rise and shine, morning glory! Judging by the sun streaming through my windows, it’s a beautiful, but eerily quiet, day. I don’t hear a single bird singing right now, which is highly unusual… Most mornings are a cacophony of bird-related activity, but I don’t hear a single tweet or chirp. I wonder what’s going on out there…
Oh! I can’t believe I almost forgot to mention this, but do you ever play fancy card games? El Hub has been getting me into boardgames and card games lately, and he ordered a really fun one from Amazon called Love Letters. It’s so much fun! It’s quick and easy to play, and only about $10, but we have a blast. Highly recommended for couples.
I’m kind of anticipating some power outages this fall and winter due to this whole El Niño thing, so we’re stocking up on a few games to have around just in case.
Good luck in the giveaway this long weekend, my friend! I hope you’re doing something fun for Labor Day. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
I’ve never even thought about bringing my foundation over my ears. Is that a thing people do? It never crossed my mind lol. This beautiful holiday weekend I plan to live at my pool. I’m expecting to be a shade darker come Tuesday.
I have playedlove letters before. Its surprisingly easy to get a hang off. I played it with my girlfriend and we felt our bond get stronger. I highly recommend this game
Me and my friends are board game fanatics and we have Love Letters too, it is such a fun game! Happy weekend, Karen, Tabs and El Hub!
You too, Agata! Have a great weekend. I’ll just be hanging around the house most of the weekend catching up on my relaxing.
Ooh! What are some other good board games I should try?
Confession: I am already plotting my Halloween makeup.
i love the popcorn factory! 🙂
my dad makes the best popcorn! It is a true treat, and not to be had very often.
Can’t wait to get my hands on Mac’s 2015 fall color collection!
Umm…I learn many new things on this blog but makeup over the ears is a new one for me! My hair covers my ears so probably not essential for me!
I have never brought my foundation over my ears but now I feel like I should try it. I love making popcorn at home. Just oil and popcorn seeds in the pan but when it is done I add Parmesan cheese. So tasty!
i don’t wear foundation and when I do wear tinted moisturiser/bb cream, I don’t cover the ears, and ears are the most flawless thing around my face 🙂
No I don’t bring foundation over my ears. I honestly never thought to, plus my hair is always down and covering my ears!
This isn’t my own, but I love when my friend says it e/ time he’s shocked… “Shut the front door!”
I’m looking into buying my first MAC foundation, but I still have so many questions! I’m looking between pro-longwear and studio fix fluid. I’m in my 30s with very oily and acne prone skin. I’m looking to cover my scarring mainly, need your help! Can u tell me the main differences between the two and which you recommend for my skin type? Thanks!
Underrated hair product: KMS free shape! I have really thick hair that takes forever to dry and this stuff cuts my dry time by at least half!
Boom chicka pop popcorn is my favorite! Although I love trying different brands popcorn all the time.
I’m a nerd, so I have small sections of The Hobbit and LotR memorized! 😀
My parents make the best popcorn!!! Happy saturday!!
Garrett’s makes the best popcorn! My favorite is the cheese and caramel mixed together. I know it sounds sort of strange but it’s delicious!
K&T – I am petsitting for the whole long wknd & the only cosmetic I brought was my new YSL Tint-in-Oil in the Rose shade! It is so luxurious I want them all!! Happy Wknd!
We’re going to have to start our game stock up for El Nino too! Have a great Labor Day weekend!
That card game looks soooo good! N it allows game play for 2, wow!
Not a book quote but a movie quote from Office Space: “I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be.”
Kind of sums up my idea of the perfect weekend! 😉
I can’t wait for Halloween!!! I am spooky at heart. ^.^
I’ve memorized so many Harry Potter passages because of how many times I’ve read and re-read the books⚡️
“A special time of day for you?”
BEDTIME. My child’s bedtime.
I have never used foundation over my ears. This is a totally new concept I am interested in knowing more about!
When I wear a full foundation, which isn’t often, I make sure I take it all the way to my ears. I don’t necessarily cover my ears but I make sure it’s blended into them.
I feel an underrated hair line in general is carols daughter, I’ve used it for about 2 years and my hair has never been more healthy and shiny (:
I probably *should* bring foundation all the way up to my ears, for the sake of thoroughness!
My favorite funny phrase I like to say is “You can’t sit with us!” from Mean Girls. 🙂
My kiddo slept through the night for the fifth time in his life last night. He’s already a year old. This is one tired momma.
My special time is at bedtime with the kids!
“Who makes the best popcorn?”‘
ME. *I* make the best popcorn!!
I make caramel popcorn from scratch and It. Is. AWESOME.
Ive never brought my foundation up over my ears. I probably should but I find it annoying to wash off at the end of the day. haha
My sister make the best popcorn with caramel…mm a bomb eheh
Would love to win!!
I love the popcorn at Garrett Popcorn in Chicago. It was one of the things that I looked forward to whenever I had a layover in O’Hare.
I already have in mind what I would buy with this gift card. Mac fix + and Mac Pro Long wear concealer
Strange as it may sound, since I was teenager I’ve memorized passages of the “Libro del Buen Amor”, a Spanish piqaresque compilation from the 14th century. It has very funny passages, and moving poems, like the death of the “matchmaker” Trotaconventos:
¡Ay Muerte! ¡muerta sseas, muerta e malandante!
matásteme mi vieja: ¡matasses a mí enante!
Enemiga del mundo, que non as semejante:
de tu memoria amarga non sé quien non se espante.
Happy Caturday!!! =)
No, i’ve never worn foundation on my ears (or my neck for that matter). I wear a shade that matches my skin tone and I use very little.
Happy Caturday!
I do not use my foundation over my ears.
I do have passages of my favourite books memorized, though not on purpose.
I make the best popcorn.
I have put foundation in my ears once or twice, occasionally when I get tired, my ears turn bright red! So if I know I will be photographed, I use a little foundation on them, just in case!
I never thought of having my foundation over my ear, since i use glasses most day, so i don’t see any point on doing that
I love movie theater popcorn nothing ever tasted as good as when it’s made in a real popcorn machine. At home on the stove or in the microwave its never as good! I need to invest in a popcorn machine because let me you I’m obsessed with popcorn.
I don’t bring my foundation up over my ears.
I add some ground parmesan cheese (the real deal, not that kraft stuff) to my popcorn and the flavor is just amazing!!
I do use foundationonmy ears too if my ears are red. It doesnt always happen.
But on my clients I always put on the ears too. you dont know how they will react over the night.
Sadly our forecast for the long weekend is SNOW! Seriously! It’s going to be summerish again after but for this weekend I’m huddling inside with the kitties, a good book (Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch) and a mug of tea!
I bring my foundation over my ears and down my neck because i wear fake tan and i want everything thing to look seamless.
An under rated or under commented line is Not Your Mother’s hair products. NYM has some great affordable products. Plus the names are fun. One of my must haves from NYM is Kinky Moves.
Here in Brazil we’re always saying “I’m not thank you”, just like that in english, but the real mean for you guys it’s:
“I am not required”
ahahhaha we’re crazy!
xoxo Karen! :*
Listening to Grey on audible this weekend, ? not sure if I like it or hate it lolol
I’ll comment on two. I don’t bring foundation over my ears, however, I always use both foundation and powder, and use the powder over my ears. That seems to do the trick, and I find it easier! As for memorizing passages from a book, I took a Shakespeare course and memorized one of the sonnets (and recited it in front of the whole class!) I also memorized a Wordsworth poem just because I liked it so much!
I try to remember to put foundation on my ears to give a more seamless look.
My special time of the day is the afternoon when I get out of work and I spend quality time with my family and partner.
Skinny Pop has great popcorn 😉
Happy Saturday,
Not sure what’s lined up for the day because it’s raining kittens and puppies and the sun is no where in sight. Quite possibly a Netflix and all day jammies weekend for me. I do have makeup on though because I’m reviewing a few things so I’m walking around the house in full beat with jammies on lol.
Do you bring your foundation up over your ears?
I don’t wear foundation but I do make sure that my tinted moisturizer is blended well into my ears and neck/chest.
Are there any books from which you’ve memorized certain passages?
The bible
A special time of day for you?
Definitely morning time.
Who makes the best popcorn?
Smartfoods (white cheddar)
passage of a book Not really right now
Maybe passages of a grammar book sound more accurate at the moment
I repeat them so many times the past 4 weeks that it seems that is the only thing I have in my mouth/Mind . It seems the studentns never learned it before and some have forgotten them.
First, PayDay is a great game for rainy days! Definitely get that game too.
But I definitely want to tell kinky/curly head chicks that Paul Mitchell Twirl Around is by far the most underrated hair product! It’s a styling product that helps to moisturize your hair while keeping your curls in perfect form without the stiffness or tackiness of most products.
I love movie theater popcorn. But because I live in Indiana (home to numerous corn fields) we have some incredible retail popcorn options. My absolute fave is Just Pop In (justpopinonline.com) ~ their Smoking Goose Caramel Bacon + Cheddar flavor is crazy good!!!
Cheddar skinny pop!
I usually wear my hair down so I don’t really put foundation over my ears
Yes! He IS a cutie patootie! For sure!
I watch that movie about every three months or so. The dancing scene is my favorite!
Teehee! 😉
I think the paul mitchell leave in conditioner doesn’t get enough love. It’s the only thing that leaves my hair manageable after all the bleach ={
The best popcorn is from Trader Joes! No funky ingredients, cheap, and the herb popcorn or the olive oil popcorn is amazing!
I never thought to bring foundation to my ears but I might have to try it 🙂
I make the best popcorn. It’s been proven! ?
I can’t say I’ve ever considered my ears and foundation together. I rarely even notice my ears, come to think of it. Happy Labor Day!
A special time of day for you?
Early morning on workdays and 7 ish pm any night – my man and I finally have the same work schedules after 8 years of him getting up just after 4 am for work. It’s been great getting ready with him in the morning. We get up early so we can leisurely get ready, fix coffee/hot breakfast and we have music playing in the background. It’s 5:30 or so and it’s all quiet and peaceful outside and it feels like we’re the only 2 people up and about. I love that, it’s just he and I for the first 2 hours of the day. 7 pm because that’s when our day is officially done and we head for the couch to watch one of our shows or read or whatever. No answering the phone, no more working on work brought home, just time to ourselves.
I have never really thought of bringing my foundation up over my ears
Beauty confession time: I don’t wear foundation! I can’t stand the feeling of it on my face.
I don’t put foundation directly on my ears, but it somehow ends up there anyway???? My face is weird.
I don’t put foundation directly on my ears, but it somehow ends up there anyway???? My face is weird.
My favorite time of day is afternoon nap with my fiance!
Foundation on your ears? No, it would just end up in my unruly thick hair which would be a nightmare.
I’m pretty much obsessed with goodreads! It has motivated me to read so much more in the past year. 🙂
I only put foundation on my ears when I change my skin color for a costume or something. A week ago I dressed up as a zombie for a local event and put the grey-ish base I mixed up on my ears, throat, back of my neck and even hands.
No, no foundation on my ears 🙂
I bought M.A.C. products for the very first time yesterday…umm, is that Madonna singing in the background? Jeez, I actually remember being scandalized when I heard her sing it on thr radio for, like, a 100 times a day. That’s right, I’m that old (54). I know exactly what I’ll if I win the gift certificate. Two lipsticks… Brave and Twig. Wishing you a wonderful laborless long weekend!
No foundation on my ears !
And I HATE popcorn (but in France popcorn is less popular than in the States).
Hi Karen! Hope you enjoyed your Sephora makeup session! It makes me feel special when other ppl do my makeup lol!
So I’m lovin’ that Fast Play on you, it’s a perfect neutral pink shade—which is something I always seem to be searching for…. I see that they went up a $1, same thing with UD’s singles, & just about everything else across the board for American consumers…
Right on with the card game! They’re fun. You should totally play chess if you don’t already!
Have a great weekend 🙂
SMARTFOOD! !
I can still recite The Raven from memory if need be as well as parts of Le Petit Prince in French from high school 🙂
My mom makes the best popcorn. Yummy
Hi Karen,
So I’ve been looking for a day or so trying to find my perfect red lip colour, and so far, it’s really hard. Do you have any tips or any suggestions for what I should try? If it helps any, I am olive skinned, green eyes, and dark brown hair. Thanks so much, and have a lovely weekend!
I’ve never put foundation on my ears unless it was for a stage play and then it was a $%&!# to clean off properly!
I think I have inadvertently memorized some children’s books because I’ve read them so often to my kids.
I’ve memorized certain portions of classic literature.. and some JRR Tolkien and some Winnie the Pooh..
I should probably put foundation over my ears but it’s not going to happen
My favorite time of the day is Tea Time. Lighting a candle, brewing some tea and reading a few pages as it gets dark outside is perfect to unwind.
special time of the day (or night) for me? 2am. all’s quiet, and i am reading a great book.
thanks for this chance
Happy Aloha Saturday, Karen!
I like Chio popcorn !
Oh, my gosh! Yes, 17 Again! Greta movie. One of my favorites by him. I’d love to hear your thoughts about your Sephora Make up class. Was your “Smokey Eye” post related to the class?
I think the most underrated hair product is cheap hair gel. I use a little gel to stop frizz, and I have tried all kinds of brands. I find the high end ones either hold too much and feel like glue, or flake and make me look like I have dandruff. I have the best luck with the big tubs of store brand. The cheaper the gel, the better it seems to work!
I haven’t memorized any book passages, but my husband and I have lots of movie & TV show quotes memorized. He can do the court room scene from A Few Good Men spot on.
I do bring foundation over my ears when my hair is up. Only thing is I over-think it and wonder just how much of my exposed skin should be covered in foundation as well. So I never put my hair up or wear foundation when my hair is up so that I never have to stress over that haha
I just saw this & thought of you – cat street view! Like Google street view, but with kitty locations – from Japan 😀 http://www.seafm.com.au/hobart/scoopla/life/blog/2015/9/cat-street-view-is-here-and-you-are-never-going-to-want-to-leave-home-again/
My special time is every morning when I don’t have to get up early to go to work, like these next couple of days. – yeah!
I bring my foundation down my neck and ears sometimes if it doesn’t match perfectly!
Wow, a three day weekend and every day is going to be beautiful and sunny. I don’t want summer to end. We’ll be celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday on Monday. Yikes, that means that mine is coming in a few months.
I do not put foundation on my ears…Normally I don’t on my eyelids either but I got sunburned and now I have too because my eyelids are darker than my foundation!! Aaah!!!
Zac Efron was so hot in “Neighbors” and he had his shirt off for most of the movie! Hope you have a great holiday weekend!
A local movie theater chain around here has unusually good popcorn – I think they say it’s Orville Redenbacher. At home I just make Pop Secret in the microwave!
I’ve memorized most of The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery. It’s one of my favourite books, and I can read it over and over.
Hope you enjoy your holiday weekend! It’s supposed to be gorgeous.
Hi Karen,
I do bring my foundation up to my ears, just what’s left on after I’ve done my face though. 🙂 hope you have a great weekend!
Ooh that game looks good! My boyfriend got me into card games and board games. Last game night we played Coup and Settlers of Katan!
I definitely have things memorized from “The History of Love” by Nicole Krauss.
My favorite time of the day is just before sunrise.
– Are there any books from which you’ve memorized certain passages?
Yes, I have actually memorized certain passages from the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. I’m a huge Tolkien fan 😀
Hope you’re having a great weekend Karen!
We love making popcorn and playing card or board games.
I would love some new lipsticks from Mac!
Suave’s shampoo is underrated. The brand’s products are affordable, but perform well for a basic shampoo.
I feel like hair products from both Fekkai and John Frieda are super underrated
Lately I look forward to my commute (1 hour each way) so I can listen to my podcasts)
The movie theaters make the best popcorn.I think any kind of microwave popcorn called movie theater butter is good,too.
Funny things said?
My human says “Move!” a lot and I think it is hilarious. Like I am really going to move.
I do not put foundation over my ears!!
Movie theater popcorn is the best!
Special time of the day for me is when I’m sleeping.
An adorable little family run movie theater near my house makes the most amazing popcorn!! They have won awards for it 🙂
Do you ever wonder what your cat is thinking? My cats are very vocal and needy. When I don’t give them the attention they want i.e when I’m doing dinner or helping kiddos with school work. They will give you this look and I swear he has to be thinking of you don’t rub my back right now mom. I’m going to scratch up that nice new couch you got. Get it. Lol but really do you ever wonder?
A funny phrase I say often is “…that’s what she said”.
The best popcorn is when you don’t get evil shards of corn cut into your gums! That is the worst!
My special time of day is very early in the morning. I get up with my dogs and drink coffee, check email, watch YouTube videos and work out, all before my husband gets up. I love that quiet time in the morning with my dogs.
A special time of day for you?
My special time of day is at night , when all my family is together .
Foundation over my ears? Uh, no way. 1) My hair covers my ears. 2) I usually only concentrate foundation over the center of my face and blend it out to nothing at the sides of my face where my skin is more even toned. I don’t think my foundation ever goes on thick enough or far enough to make it to my ears or jawline. Just my preference. I like sheer to light coverage foundations and meticulous application of concealer over any red spots.
VO5 Simply Stunning Leave-in Conditioner smells amazing (hubby and girlfriend approved) and works great.
Foundation over the ears?? That’s taking it a bit too far, next will be that I have to make sure to carefully foundation the insides of my nostrils. Besides, I’m always running late anyway, so I’m usually lucky if I cover my actual face, under the chin is only if I have the time to give a crap.
BTW, you have the greatest makeup looks, I would love it if you did tutorials (just like every Tom, Dick and Harry and YouTube!).
I memorized a passage from “Conversations with God” book 1 that I try to follow daily….
What you truly believe will come to pass, your faith will make it so…” I love that passage because the faith it talks about is faith in what you believe, not relating to religious faith….I so enjoy spirituality in relation to life. I also love cats, that’s quite a spiritual thing for me….
I love skinny pop!!
We have always played board games and now my girls have their own “nerdy” board games they play with their friends for game nights.
funny phrase I say – Gotter Otter.
I have a few phrases that I say often & they do make people laugh, so I guess they count as funny. One of my most popular is “Thanks for noticing!”, but here’s my personal favorite: “I like living indoors in a lifestyle to which I’ve become accustomed, so I continue to shop up for work.”
I just bought a new foundation from Mac called Studio Sculpt. Have you ever used it? And do you like it?
Don’t want a gift card, but whatever you did to your blog format makes it way too hard to read . . . I will most likely unsubscribe.
I didn’t wear makeup till I was 40 and 17 years later, I still don’t have a knack for putting it on so it looks good. YouTube videos don’t help. I look like I have something smeared over my freckles and it looks hideous.
I have a box at my local UPS store and I was told by one of the employees that he and the rest of the employees have a running bet of who gets the most packages each week, me or this other woman. He puts the money on me and he’s winning!!! I had 6 come in this week and I think the guy wanted to hug me or something.
If my mom and I are together and we see something odd, funnny or indescribable, we will immediately look at each other and say WOMP WOMP.
We saw this phrase, if you can call it that, on a random billboard in some small southern town when we were traveling a few years ago and have used it ever since. We dont kn ow what the billboard was about but we thought it was so peculiar.
Who makes the best popcorn? Boom Chicka Pop makes really good kettle corn!
“Summer” is over, me sad.
Cat adoption season starting up, me happy!!! 🙂
I actually make the best popcorn according to my family. I have an ancient oil popcorn maker and between the butter and popcorn salt, it is the tastiest!
Enjoy your Labor Day!
My favorite time of day is the morning because I love breakfast foods and watching tv in bed! I never thought of putting my foundation above my ears. I may try that the next time I pull my hair up. I have a long bob and I like to pull half of it up into a high ponytail at the top of my head! It’s so 90’s but I have a lot of fun with it. One of my college friends always called it my “whale tail”.
Special time: whenever it’s dark, especially from midnight to about 5.
My favorite time of the day is super late at night, like 2 a.m. I’m a night owl and I thrive after midnight
Garwood Orchards made really good popcorn. We would take the kids to pick apples. Then we would go to the orchard store and get the popcorn and apple doughnuts. It was a great introduction to the fall season. I miss living by that place.
Understated product: suave dry shampoo. I like the ones in the gold bottle but the silver is good too. Dry shampoo is magic! If you’re not getting compliments on your hair on day 5/6/7 you need to try it!
I definitely don’t bring foundation up over the ears – it’s not necessary!
Foundation over my ears?? I’ve never heard of such a thing. If I did that I would get it all in my hair :)). I live in Chicago so I have to say Garretts popcorn on Michigan Ave and my dad’s popcorn too. And I think the most underrated hair product is any Goldwell product. I don’t think that brand gets the attention it deserves.
I have some portions of the Hobbit memorized. My SO always laughs that my two loves are Lord of the Rings and make-up and he can’t figure out how they fit together.
Hello, Karen! Greetings from the cool and cloudy Pacific Northwest.
There is a candy store in Seal Beach, OR called Indulge Sweets that makes the best caramel corn in the history of ever. My husband’s homemade kettle corn is my next favorite.
TARGET popcorn! The smell of popcorn when you walk into a Target is just heavenly.
I love DR.WHO!!
I do sometimes bring my foundation over my ears but its just when I think about it theres no real rhyme or reason to it haha
I don’t reuse funny phrases a lot but I do quote a lot of Lord of the Rings! I get the biggest kick out of it too, no one else does but it makes me happy 😀
Smartfood is my favorite popcorn!
I’m actually eating popcorn right now and having a glass of wine nothing fancy just me and the girls. Happy Memorial day weekend! I’m really loving Shea Moisture I just got in the bandwagon of naturals love it ❤
A special time of day is when my toddler is napping and I can spend a good chunk of time on my getting ready for the day ritual and Netflix/YouTube. Also when my husband comes home from work. 🙂
I’ve been using two non-sense phrases a lot- sad panda and shmoopty shmoo. Things are sad panda (not people) and shmoopty shmoo is for when you can’t remember the name of something, or are referring to a group of something without a good name (like a pile of trash).
Hey Karen! After being cat-less since my beloved elderly cat passed away last October at the ripe old age of 19, I’ve finally gotten 3 kittens and brought them home this afternoon!
Never thought of bringing my foundation over my ears. I do bring it into my hair line and under my chin though.
A special time of day for you? Sunset, nighttime & sunrise – all of them are magical.
My husband makes a really good kettle corn, so that is my favorite. Thanks for the chance to Win!
I love Orville Redenbacher kettle popcorn!
My favorite time of day is the morning. I get up early to watch the sun come up. so calm and quite in the house. before the kids are up.
Hello Karen and Tabs,
My absolute favorite time is early morning when no one else is up. I love to search the internet for all sorts of things, and read my bible. I don’t always read my bible, but I have a morning devotional that I read called, “Jesus Calling”, that I really adore. It has scriptures at the end that I look up to start the day. It helps me be ‘God centered’ for the day.
Hope you and El Hub are well. Tabs too. Gracie and I are doing well.
I have random excerpts from poems memorized from my days as an English major!
popcornopolis makes the best popcorn!
I am drowning in red lipsticks, but still I am not satisfied. Will I ever be?
I love making my own popcorn. I have a popcorn maker similar to one my parents had growing up. Hands down the best popcorn.
my fave time of day is at night once the kiddos are asleep and i can read, browse the internet and have a guilty snack. 🙂
cute & little
Favorite time of day: morning coffee on the porch with my hubby.
I plan on resting on this long weekend. I hope you have a great one too.
I say some 20’s sayings such as “doll”, “cat’s pajamas”, “the bee’s knees”, etc.
I have never even thought to put foundation over my ears! Then again, my hair usually covers my ears.
I never thought how important it was to blend foundation on the edges of the face and near or on ear, until random people pointed it out to me when my hair was tied up….how awkward. i have long, animalistic hair and most of the time noone can even tell how my makeup is blended on the edges of my faces and ears. but this time i got caught and became super self concious afterwards. lol!
have a good weekend everyone!!!!
I just had the most special day in my life yesterday. My birthday was on 5th Sept and I had a wonderful birthday celebration. Had my favourite cake, got lots of wishes from friends, and had some quality time with my loved one!
I love Love Letter! It’s so fun and easy to teach people. Not all games are like that.
Are there any books from which you’ve memorized certain passages?
Nope. I do have a document where I input passages of books that really resonate with me. Sometimes I write them out and put them on my walls. The only time I’ve ever taken the trouble to memorize passages was when I took a Shakespeare class during high school. We were quizzed on each act and some questions required us to quote passages from memory. This was the most difficult literature class I’ve ever taken (including my college years) but definitely one of the most enjoyable–i’ve always thought I was so lucky to have a teacher who was so dramatic.
I don’t usually put foundation on my ears because I usually put my ears down.
A tale of two cities – every person in class had to recite the first page….hope everyone is having a good weekend!
Maybe I’ll start a new trend.. foundation on my ears followed by bronzer, strategically placed blush and maybe some sparkles!
I wish I could fly !!!
I wish I could get my El Hub to play card and board games! Playing games is big with my family.
Underrated hair product = dry shampoo!!
I have tons of funny sayings and cannot for the life of me think of one right now–please ask again next week!!!
It’s my birthday next week so I would love to win 😀
You should make a youtube chennel.
Hi Debbi,
Done! 🙂 Here it is: makeupandbeautyblog
I love board games! Have never heard of this one though…will definitely be checking it out 🙂 Have a great weekend!
a special time of the day for me is from 7 to 8 a.m. when i’m drinking cofee and doing my makeup.
My favorite time of day is 6:30 am – I’ve usually just gone running outside and am eating breakfast or getting ready to do my makeup. It feels nice, like I’ve done so much but there’s so much day left.
Never thought of going all the way to the ears before. That looks like a really unique game, I definitely want to try!
It never even occurred to me to apply foundation to my ears! Is this something people do?
I always go up over my ears 😀
I always bring my foundation over my ears.
I have never put makeup on my ears!
I love the game of Life.It’s my fave board game 🙂
.
I always bring my foundation over my ears
My hair is usually down so i always forget about foundation on my ears!
No, I don’t bring foundation up to my ears. I’m not sure I can get it all off properly if I did and I am so particular with taking maleup off.
Bedtime is my favorite part of the day…
My favorite funny phrase I like to say is “I am too lazy to be lazy” 😉
I really miss running, I have to get special trainers because I have problematic feet. I’m so happy that fall is upon us, it’s birthday season in my household. I’m ready to mark the season with my customary gingerbread latte, I used to feign over the pumpkin spice latte but once I tried the gingerbread ‘good golly!’ Though I’m thinking the gingerbread might be a winter flavor 🙁 anywho, nice chatting talk to y’all again next week!
I feel really weird now. Never thought about wearing foundation in my ears. Shit, do I look like I’ve borrow someone else’s ears!?
I remember going to watch 17 again at the cinemas not knowing what to expect. I ended up loving the movie and still love it to this day even though it’s corny as hell
I don’t bring foundation over my ears cause it kinda freaks me out (I mean how do you then get it out of all those nooks and crannies??) but I’m crazy religious about shade matching so it’s not an issue. 😀
Plus my curls are almost always down!
I don’t put foundation over my ears
I love movie theater popcorn. Butter. Salty. Perfect.
i’m on vacation this week!
We like to cruise with our good fiends Bob and Sandy. We always take along the game Sequence. The ladies always win!
A phrase that I use fairly frequently that I find amusing (not to mention supremely cheesy) is “the bomb.com”.
A special salute to Tabs!
And Karen, could you please confirm whether the lipstick that you’re wearing in the YouTube Fab 5 video is the same as the one featuring on the slideshow of your blog (where it looks less pink and more brown). I really love how it looks on you in the still image where you’re posing with the Chanel jar so I’d love to give it a go myself…thanks!
Hi Neha,
Bomb.com is a good one, lol! Do you remember which Fab 5 video it is? Was it the Chanel one? I think that lippie might be 434 Mademoiselle, one of the Rouge Coco Hydrating Lip Colours.
Aussie hair conditioners are amazing and very affordable!
A highly underrated hair product? Basically everything from Living Proof. Have a great weekend, Karen!! xoxo
No, I don’t put foundation over my ears. Bedtime is my favourite part of the day. 🙂
My mom makes killer popcorn. Popped on the stove and covered in melted butter. So good!! Way better than anything from the microwave!
I’ve been made up, styled, and had hair done by professionals in preparation for magazine shoots before and no one has ever put foundation on my ears. That is ludicrous. It’s too heavy and doesn’t match if you need to do all that. Gross.
Hi Karen! Hv a nice weekend!!
I’ve memorized many passages from the Wastelands – my favorite!
I love Trader Joe’s kettle corn. 🙂
I officially fell for Vamplify yesterday. I bought Tuned In which seems a little brown for me now (I lived the 90s once. . . ) but I think it will be great for fall. I wish the shade range was a little more diverse because the formula is beautiful.
My dad makes the best popcorn, old-school style by popping kernals on the stove and adding flavors or seasoning himself! I have a phrase I say all the time and I have NO IDEA where it’s from: “scoot your boot” instead of get outta my way!
Help with locating an amazing sea salt hair product?!
I played Love Letters for the first time last night! It’s fun!
Movie theater popcorn with butter is always the best, but I am planning on heading to TJ’s today to pick up a bag of their dill pickle flavored popcorn! My friend said it’s delicious!
I have never put foundation on my ears but I may try it 🙂
Anytime everything is going my way I say “EVERYTHING’S COMING UP BERTHA!” which is an edited line from the Simpsons. Milhouse is wearing jeans that are too short & everyone’s making fun of him and then a huge flood comes through and he says “EVERYTHING’S COMING UP MILHOUSE!” I don’t know why it cracks me up so much!
Board games are the best! My husband and I love playing Ticket To Ride or Munchkin with our friends!!!!
I’ve never heard of people putting foundation on their ears. Maybe I’ll try it.
I am so ready for fall! I just did a fall look yesterday just because I could, and to get me even more excited for my favorite season. Part of my look was made using MAC shadows. Yes I have a MAC shadow addiction ? .
Oh and I do bring my foundation up on to my ears. Something I’ve just recently started, to be honest it’s something you never really give much thought to until it’s brought to your attention. Then it’s like oh yeah I guess that does make sense.
I have never thought of putting foundation on my ears, does it look good, more even and natural, will have to try it.
I’m a morning person.
my special time of day is bed time lol
Lunch time is a special time of the day for me. Its when I fill my stomach.
I bring my foundation all the way to my hairline, ears, and to my neck. I definitely don’t want to look like I’m wearing a mask!
bleargh
How do you choose the right highlighter without going too dark?!
I mean too light haha!
Hope you are well Karen? Am entering a give away on your blog after ages! Hoping to win this week… x
where are the birds??
No,I do not bring my foundation up over my ears. I think it is not necessary and must be quite messy in winter if you are wearing hats and scarves and high necked coats.
I love love love Davines OI / All in One Milk spray for hair. It’s my holy grail. It softens my hair and smells so amazing and lightly feminine. I got it once in my Birchbox and have been hooked ever since. I love to use it as a hair-refresher for “dirty” 2nd/3rd day hair. I feel it helps even give it a little volume and it’s highly underrated!

I’m in spring-cleaning mode this Labor Day weekend. Better late than never!
I have super pale skin and it’s challenging to find a foundation that perfectly matches my skin tone, so I will at times bring it up over my ears!
my hair covers the side of my face, so i don’t put coverage on my ears, it’s already hard to blend it into my hair line.
I don’t bring my foundation onto my ears. I always drag some down my neck, but I feel like I’d forget to wash my ears off when I wash my face at night, eek!
I never thought of bringing foundation over my ears. My hair does cover my ears and I really don’t have much space between my hairline and my ears, I just looked.. lol. My husband makes the best popcorn. We have a popcorn maker and we add melted butter, salt and sugar. We add all the extras to it while tossing it in a brown paper bag. It does take 2 people. 1 to add and the or her to toss the popcorn around in the bag. it’s soo yummy
I really loved your end of summer mermaid makeup tutorial! I tried it and really like it!
Thanks!
Never heard of the whole foundation over the ears thing. Do people really put foundation on their ears?
Kettle corn vendors at fairs and festivals make the best popcorn!
My daughters have become regular school age card sharks playing War, Spit, Go Fish and Speed. I taught them how to play poker and their dad just taught them how to play Spades. My BFF and I play black jack with fake poker chips. When I was young, my family was really into board games.
We really enjoy bananagrams. It’s pretty simple and we get really competitive. Plus, it can go from two players and up.
I Could use the $50 to get my bf something for his birthday next month! ?
No, I don’t bring my foundation up over my ears!
I’ve never even thought about foundation on my ears! When I wear it, my foundation is done with a very light touch, and it’s a good match for my skin, and I blend it out so that it is nonexistent by the time it reaches the edge of my face.
I can’t wait until September 10th, when we get to celebrate my nephew’s 4th birthday, stay over at my sister’s, then walk my nephew to his first day at kindergarten!!!
My favorite popcorn is “skinny pop”? It comes in a green bag and tastes like theater popcorn. So good! My favorite saying is “it is what it is”
Foundation over the ears? Huh.. never thought about it. Why would that be a thing?
Just discovered Boom Chicka Pop popcorn, good!
So grateful to my vet for taking good care of one of my cats this past week.
Foundation over ears? Nope
Hair product: Some of the ION products work well for me.
The special time of the day for me is early morning when everyone is still asleep. I am able to have some quiet time to myself, enjoy my coffee and peek in at my kids and hubby sleeping peacefully.
Hello!!! 🙂
Do you bring your foundation up over your ears?
I do not put foundation over my ears.
The now discontinued kevin murphy shine spray is my jam! It gives my hair the wonderful golden look that I love <3
I don’t wear foundation, just concealer under the eyes, some Bronzer and blush for everyday! =)
I’ve never brought foundation over my ears. I honestly never even thought of it. Now I’m going to have to notice if anyone I know does it.
My favourite time of the day is late at night when everyone else is asleep!
Im wondering Karen are you cheered up by simply trying a new makeup item..I feel it defeinately boots my mood…and Theater popcorn in the midwest cant be beat! Have a labor free holiday!
Ohhh what is that game like?
Best hair product ever: Kerastase Mousse Substantive. It don’t use it often because it is crazy expensive, but I keep it for special occasions. It is a wonderful hair product, I never found anything that is even close.
My favorite popcorn would be what my parents made. It’s nothing too fancy, adding a few shakes of Frank’s Red Hot sauce in with the oil before popping on the stove. Adds a nice little spicy kick without a soggy sauce or dry seasoning that might not stick after the fact. ❤
I don’t know why or where it came from but I say f*cking A. Not about a person, more as an exclamation.
The more I think about it, the more I wonder…like why just an A? why don’t I say the entire word? I can be so weird sometimes.
Whoa, I’ve never thought about bringing my foundation up over my ears. You learn new things every day!
Every night after my nighttime routine, this includes putting the kids to bed, I always go on my phone and read many blogs about beauty products. Lol! By the way, I’ve never thought aviut putting foundation on my ears, but I think I would be annoyed to wash my ears at night though… 😉
Thanks for the giveaway, Karen! 🙂
I love long weekends!
No, I never thought of bringing my foundation above my ears. According to my husband, my foundation blending skills need some help. Maybe I just need to win the gift certificate and get a new color from MAC!
Garrett’s caramel popcorn is my favorite.
My favorite day time is dawn,calm n peaceful
It gives me serenity.
I make the best popcorn 🙂 I have an old-fashioned popper that I like to use. I also like Jenny’s caramel corn if I don’t want to make it myself.
I don’t usually bring my foundation up to my ears unless I have my hair up. I have that little “sideburn” divider that doesn’t make the transition too obvious!
Whaaaaaat? Foundation over the ears?
Damn it. Just when I think I’ve got makeup figured out, there’s something new thrown in that I was supposed to be doing…
Certainly, I remember a few sentences of the book , they are from ” The Divine Comedy ” by Dante Alighieri, he is one of most important of italian litterature.
I’ve never thought about putting foundation on my ears
I never thought about putting my foundation up over my ears because I usually have my hair down over them. I’m curious to see if you can tell they don’t match my face now the next time I wear foundation.
over the last month I’ve done wayyy too much shopping. I know this and yet I’m already planning 2-3 more online purchases? Doesn’t help that I’m so ready for fall weather and lots of sweaters and layers… my name is bin du and I am a shopaholic
I shop way too much for purses and makeup !
I don’t wear foundation over my ears.
Never thought of bringing foundation over my ears, but I use bare minerals now anyway so..
I brush my foundation up toward my ears, just starting to cover them. I also blend my contour that direction, so it probably gets a small amount of my ear, too.
I usually bring foundation to my ears because I get costume to that because of short hair.
I’m a night owl. I love to relax at 1-2am with a favorite movie, like Sabrina or Leap Year 🙂
I used to write down my favourite passages from book because I have a terrible memory for that sort of thing.
Favorite time of day is when I get my awesome cup of coffee to start the day ?
AMC theaters make the best movie theater popcorn while I think Trader Joe’s makes really good microwavable popcorn because they claim that they make it without any artificial ingredients, although I don’t know how they make good butter popcorn with less fat!
Agave oil! Argan and Jojoba oils have been sooo popular lately, but Agave is where it’s at! 🙂
Best popcorn: Orville Reddenbacher Pour over butter popcorn… Butterlicious!!!
I work afternoons so my favorite time of day is when I get home from work at midnight!
“you must be the one who killed me and the dark lord will fully trust you” dumbledore
I have never been a fan of popcorn. It doesn’t taste particularly good to me and the kernels always get stuck in my teeth!
The Cinema’s popcorn is the best !
Ha! I don’t put foundation anywhere near my ears. My hair covers them and I don’t want to take a chance of breakouts around them.
Today was my nephew’s 1st birthday party and he cried nearly the whole time! Poor baby ?
Sometimes I bring my foundation up over my ears, but probably not as often as I should haha. Hope you have a great weekend, Karen! And thanks for the game recommendation–it looks so fun for dreary, stormy days especially. God Bless!
I think the popcorn you can make yourself from scratch are the best! I make mine with butter instead of oil. Makes them look a bit dirty but tastes so good!!
chess is the only board game we have. my boyfriend loves playing chess, but I just don’t have the patience and the necessary experience to play against him, so no board games for me. but I love playing cards. Also, as a child, we used to play Monopoly for weeeks…we loved it.
I just went to my friend’s house and realised I need to lift my makeup game, so I compile my list of new products I need. Unfortunately I do not have $300 to spare, don’t you love the student life?!
No, I never bring foundation up over my ears! 🙂 🙂
I love adding buffalo sauce to my popcorn!!
I have never brought foundation up over my ears.
I love my popcorn with some truffle salt, or for a sweet treat, with some peanut butter m&m’s mixed in, they get melty delicious!
The very best time of day is when I come home and plop into bed. It’s the best feeling ever. I just want to melt into my sheets and fall asleep immediately. My cat likes to join me so he can be the “little spoon”.
May sound odd but I LOVE day old movie theatre popcorn, definitely the best.
A special time of day for me is early morning when it’s quiet and peaceful. Love it.
No I dont bring foundation up to my ears; that seams too messy and not necessary. My ears look great without foundation!
I’ve put my foundation on with a buffing brush, typically. I then quickly buff the excess on my ears. This is done prior to any earrings, of course. The main reason I do this goofiness is because my ears tend to be constantly more red than anywhere on my head. If I blush, my ears turn nearly crimson, lol!! I also feel it provides a nice, unified canvas across the face. I usually use a light to medium coverage foundation, a la MAC’s Face and Body or Smashbox BB water foundation. This technique may be tougher with a full coverage, but do-able by using the excess at the end. Love your blog! It’s my go-to daily beauty blog!
Hmm, I guess I never thought about bringing my foundation over my ears. Might have to give it a try tomorrow!
I have certain passages from East Of Eden memorized. It’s my favorite.
I use cornstarch in my foundation for a more porcelain look that does not get oily
*a little goes a long way*
I MAKE THE BEST POPCORN!! seriously come try it 😀
I love popcorn from the movie theatre!
love the movie 17 Again! you need to watch The Duff if you haven’t already. Another funny movie.
Hope you’re having a great Labor Day weekend! I’m on my way back from visiting my sister and brother in law. If you’re looking for a fun and silly game, check out quelf! It always gets my family cracking up. Have a great day from one beauty lover to another!

Two random facts about me! ?
1. I’ve had the movie Labyrinth memorized since I was a young child.
2. I can say all 50 states in order alphabetically in less than 30 seconds. ?
True!
Happy LDW!
I don’t bring my foundation up over the ears.. I’ve never thought of it
The movie theater has the BEST popcorn! Sometimes I feel like I’m going to the theaters mainly for the popcorn, and the movie is secondary.
Why popcorn when you can have sunflower seeds for your movie time? Trader Joe’s are the best!
I usually don’t remember to brush a little foundation over my ears if I have my hair up!
Underrated hair product: ShiKai Body Lotion (not a typo). Just a little is a light-weight, great-smelling smoother/moisturizer for thick, coarse, dry, unruly hair!
We love board games in this house! It’s one of the few activities that actually get my kids playing together. We all crack up playing Kadoo. Love Letters sounds like it might be good for their dad and I to play, but I really want to know how you play! Ya can’t go wrong for 10 bucks! lol. I ♡ Amazon. Thanks for the recommendation! 🙂
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott is my favorite book and a passage I’ve memorized is “I look good strong words that mean something”
No, def do not put foundation over my ears. Lol! ?
Zac Efron huh? Nope, I’m not too old for him at all… Oh hell, just call me cougar!
Ooh! I’m so pleasantly surprised that you brought up Love Letter. I’m a huge fan of tabletops especially those focused on role-playing so if you ever need any recommendations, I’m your girl!
The movie theater of course makes the BEST popcorn. I own not a single mac makeup product! Exciting!
i love perfume and need a new one!
Foundation…love and hate game. I love days when it goes on flawlessly and absolutely hate it when I rush and look like a freshly spackled wall!
Btw, do you know when the Mac 2015 holiday palette will be out and what they are?
Movie Theater Popcorn: Yum!
Movie Theater Popcorn drenched in butter by the Husband: YUCK!

The best popcorn I ever had was made in my Hello Kitty air popper until I wore it out ?
Foundation…over the ears. That’s just weird!
I’m constantly saying “get your life together!” in response to funny stories my homegirls tell me! 🙂 🙂
I’m still looking for the perfect foundation for me.
I always say “y’all come back now ya hear” and my friends always make fun of me…? I just always heard my grandparents say it as a kid, and I guess I just like to remember the good memories of them.?
I keep my foundation to my face. I don’t even like it on my throat because it rubs off on my clothes.
I usually just blend foundation into my hairline but never thought about my ears!
I’ve never considered bringing my foundation up over my ears! I think it would really bother me though, I fluff my hair in that area a lot throughout the day!
I’ve memorized some pretty good sized chunks of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Well,I’m the master (of disastear :-D) so the best popcorn is DIY from Fibika (it’s my nickname)….coconut oil and a bit of coconut-flower sugar,tastes like a small piece of heaven hmmm….Have a nice day! 🙂
I make the best popcorn!
Answering 3:
Do you bring your foundation up over your ears?
No…but I probably should, then again I’m lazy.
Are there any books from which you’ve memorized certain passages?
Harry Potter…though I’d never recite outloud, but definitely mull over during random moments.
A highly underrated hair product?
Don’t have one but would love recs from anyone willing to share their secrets to fuller silkier King Thrandruil/Legolas hair.
The most special time of day for me is dinnertime! XD And movie popcorn trumps any store-bought kind I’ve ever tried by a mile~
I really enjoy watching the sun come up; although i don’t consider myself a morning person.
my daughter makes the best popcorn ever! we have one of those movie theater type oil popcorn machines and shes learned how to make the most delicious popcorn with it 🙂
Funny phrase I always say it’s a spanish one “chingaou” it means “dang it” or “dang it” my husband who’s not hispanic laughs every time I say it.
Aussie 3 minute miracle is a great deep conditioner at a affordable price. I stock up on this and use it as daily conditioner too and smells great.
Thanks for the game recommendation. It’s hard to get my husband to play a game, cuz nothing seems to challenge mr engineer. But I will have to try this one. Have a great day! And thanks for the chance to win!
