Saturday Surfing

September 18th, 2010 by Karen 11 Comments

Hi, good lookin’. How’s it going? What are you up to this weekend? I’ve been living it up leisure-style today. First, I slept in, then I caught up on Project Runway, and now I’m watching Cats 101 on Animal Planet (I want a munchkin!).

Some days, like today, I just feel like letting my mind wander, you know? I’ve been watching the tube, surfing the web, reading and hanging out with Tabs and loving EVERY MINUTE OF IT! I almost wish today would never end, le sigh…

Speaking of web surfing, you know what we do on Saturdays, right? Last one in the water is a rotten mascara.

This makes me wanna dance!


Speaking of dancing, this kid’s got skills!


You best believe I’m in love, baby!

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Karen,
    I really LOVE the Saturday Surfing section of your Blog. I always check out the Random Bright Spots, there’s always something funny and/or unique posted.

      Hi Hana,

      I’m glad you enjoy these posts!

      How is your Saturday going? Did you have to work today? I hope you managed to sneak in some time to relax.

        I took the night off from work. Had a baby shower this afternoon (it was really cute!), and going to a party tonight. My skin is being crazy and i’m breaking out. Ugh.

          Mine does that when I’m stressed, not exercising and/or not getting enough sleep. 🙁

          What are you using to fight the breakouts?

    <3 Janelle Monae. Her music doesn't fall into my usual listening tendencies (okay, so maybe I don't have any other artists in my entire iTunes library that sound even a bit like her,) but she's just… amazing. Love, love, love!

    P.S. Those munchkins are SO cute. Echoing your statement!

    I really love the bright aqua and deep purple lips mentioned at The Cut 🙂 I like to wear both of those colors on occasion.

      I can totally see you in those brights!

      I like the idea of them, but I don’t have the guts to go out in public with crazy bright lips.
