What’s up, weekenders? How’s your Saturday coming along? Are you doing anything fun? So far today I’ve gone to breakfast (thanks for the Hamilton Cafe reco, Marisol!), took care of some bills, played with Tabs, and now I’m snapping as many product pictures as I can before the sun goes down. We had great light here this afternoon, so I’m trying to take advantage of it.
Do you have time for a little break? 🙂 Grab your mouse; let’s go surfing!

What a beautiful interpretation of one of my favorite INXS songs… Yes, that’s Beck. 🙂
Watching this makes me hyper…
OH, HELL YAH! — Aiden’s baAAAaack!
Enjoy the rest of your Saturday. Oh, Tabs is on the rampage right now… He’s been giving me his “Feed me some gravy, bitches!” face because he finished the last of his Fancy Feast tuna in gravy last night. All he’s had to eat since then has been Science Diet, and he’s none too pleased.
Sorry, cat. We all learn to deal with disappointment sooner or later. Today was just your time. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Oh my god, tell me about it! One of my cats is having nausea issues (its as fun as it sounds) and so all the cats are on dry food for a bit and damn! You’d think I was starving them!
Great links! I’ve started getting into perfume more, and am still trying to figure out how to make it last so that link was perfect!
AWWW LOL. Poor Tabs hahaha.
The compact on that Shu powder is just so damn gorgeous. I want it to house my Shu blushes in.

I cannot believe Aiden’s back! I know the first SITC movie was utter bologne but I’m excited for the sequel. I’m glad I’m not the only one 😀
Love INXS, love Beck – and I loooooove that version of “New Sensation” too! 🙂
I’m also digging that Shu Uemura glow powder as well – gorgeous!
.-= meimei’s last blog post… The Week in Screencaps =-.
Oh I was soooooooooooo Team Aidan! This made me squeal!
Oooh, I am drooling over that Shu Umera compact! It looks really pretty although I will have to see the product in person to see if it will work for me. I cannot wait until SATC2 comes out!
I’ve also heard (about making scents last longer) that applying some Vaseline i.e. petroleum jelly where you apply your perfume really helps ..i haven’t tried it because i don’t have a big problem with scents fading throughout the day . i’m like a freaking sponge .
have you ever heard of this tip ?
I think Shu Uemura is an exceptional brand . They’re so amazing !
and i love the Polysics ! They’re so energetic and get me pumped up .. though admittedly they get on my nerves sometimes . haha . i love music i don’t understand . for real :]
I wasn’t too excited when I saw the first trailer for SATC. I mean, what else could they talk about? I thought that they had left it at a good spot.
But when I saw the second trailer, I was hooked again!
What did you get at Hamilton Cafe? That’s one of my fave places in the area especially when you can sit outdoors. I hung out with my family and went to sushi in San Rafael. Then ended the night seeing Shutter Island. It was pretty good.

That video with Japan is crazy. I think I’d loose my mind in Tokyo, TOO MANY ppl.
.-= Marina’s last blog post… BECCA Bombora Collection for Summer 2010 =-.
I recently saw the trailer for SATC2 and I’m suuuuuuper excited 😀 Have you seen the Japanese flash mob prank videos? Those are hilarious 😉
Also, how do you get Tabs to just lay there with lipglosses on him? Because if I tried that with my cats they’d probably shake it off and look at me funny 🙂 I’m always so impressed whenever you take pictures of your makeup items with Tabs calmly laying next to them or posing with them!
I was a little apprehensive about the Sex sequel, but after I’ve seen that Aidan is in it, I’m totally excited! I always thought she should have been with Aidan! I know, you Big lovers out there are totally going to hate me.
They can hate me too, because I HATE Big, and always loved Aidan! That was my main objection to the first movie, that and Smith Jared getting dumped!
Ive always loved Aidan too!!! Big is just too slick and suave for my taste!!!
I first had a crush on John Corbett in Northern Exposure (Rob Morrow was pretty cute too) and squealed like a 12 year old when he was in SATC. Cant wait to see SATC2 because he’s there. :heart:
That vid on Tokyo is crayyyzeeeyyy!!!
Hi Karen! I love these posts with all the fun links, but is there any way you can set up the website so the links open in a new window? I think it would make it easier for your readers to come back to your page because as it is now, the link opens in the same window, I click around a bit and then it takes a while to get back to your site. Just a suggestion! 🙂
OMG I love SATC and can’t believe Aiden’s back!! Thanks for the link on how to spring clean its exactly what I need =) Just thought I’d let everyone know I discovered a great new mineral makeup range – pinQ.me.
