A Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway
Win a $50 eGift card from Sephora

Betcha didn’t know that Tabs spends his downtime training as a ninja for an undisclosed employer. There are so many facets to this cat! I can’t believe I’ve been assisting him since 2007, and I only found this out today.

Yeah, he keeps secrets…

Anywho, good morning and happy Caturday!

Can I get an amen for 1) those rare, sweet Tabs pics (please see above) and 2) last-minute plans that actually work out?

Yesterday afternoon, I was thinking that I haven’t gone out on a Friday night in so long with a girlfriend, so I emailed one of my high school BFFs, Cindy, and asked her if she wanted to catch dinner and a movie. She didn’t have any plans either, so we decided to have a last-minute girls’ night out.

We met at a restaurant in Corte Madera, which is in Southern Marin, called Brick & Bottle. A few of the noms…


Ahi tartare


Fried brie with honey and grapes (whoever invented fried cheese deserves a national holiday, for reals)


My main dish: sole with dungeness crab mashed potatoes

After dinner, we watched Warm Bodies, the teenage zombie love story I’ve been “dying” to see ever since I read the book last year. I don’t want to spoil it for you in case you plan to watch it, but I think it was very true to the original work.

As for today, not much planned. El Hub’s visiting his parents, so Tabs and I are holding down the fort here at home. I should probably do some cleaning, but really, all I want to do is nap and relax. Maybe go to the mall and look at some makeup if I can get out of these stretchy pants. We’ll see how it pans out.

What’s on your agenda? Whatever it is, I hope you manage to clear some time in your schedule to treat yourself to something nice, even if it’s just 10 minutes of “me time” at Starbucks with a cup of coffee.

Before you head on out, though, it’s time for the weekend giveaway. 🙂

What folks are saying…

“Hi Karen!!! Wow, that news definitely gets a hoo ray ray and an elephant!!! (I’ve maybe been watching too much Boardwalk Empire.) Thank you so much!!!”
-Shana

“What a lovely surprise it was to see your announcement (after completing one of many exams/papers/projects I have this crazy week)! The eCard will definitely ease expenses for this broke, beauty-obsessed college student. Thank you, Karen and Tabs!!”
-Katie

“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!”
-Jane

“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. 🙂 I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.”
-Angel

“Thank you SO much Karen! OMG! Wishes really do come true! I can’t believe I won! You have no idea how much this will help me through the holidays. I’ve been an avid fan of your blog for the past two years. Your witty and creative entries, informative makeup information, and beautiful photos have kept me hooked. I look forward to more of it. Goodness, you’ve
seriously just made my week and it’s only Tuesday night!”
-Zharlynne

“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!”
-Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)

    As for pet toys, one of my cat’s favorite toys is, much to my dismay, dirty underpants. She steals them from the laundry and I have to constantly look under the sofa before I do laundry.

    This is why I can’t have anything nice. 😛

    As with many cats, mine prefer a good ol’ fashioned cardboard box to all the fancy toys I buy them. Sometimes I think the cats are actually watching for the mailman when they sit and view the world from the front door. I guess they’re anticipating their next box to destroy and sleep on/in.

    The ahi tartare above looks phenomenal. YUM!

    I’ve only recently started doing a bit of makeup on family members. My husband’s sister A. married in September, and I worked on her mother-in-law’s makeup as well as took care of A.’s husband’s under-eye circles. He is very pale and has a habit of not sleeping. Since I took care of those two and they looked wonderful in the wedding pics, I get asked now to help out with a lot of family.

    Thanks for another great giveaway opportunity, Karen!

    OMG!! ur food pics are making me hungrier lol!! I did my cousin’s makeup for her prom last year and we were both real happy with how it turned out 🙂 she hardly ever wears makeup and she limits herself to just lipgloss and mascara when she does so it was like a makeover. As far as nail art I’ve tried and failed besides I have no patience.

    I could answer so many of these! So I will 🙂

    What’s your favorite type of dessert? Type of dessert would need to be a lightly sweet dessert that isn’t overly rich.

    Have you ever tried doing nail art? Oh yes! One of my hobbies 🙂

    What counters do you visit when you go to the beauty department? Usually the first counter I go to is the nail polish department. Then I’ll check out eye shadows, and then I’ll wander around everywhere else.

    Have you ever done makeup for any of your friends or family? Yep. For my sister’s prom, I did her makeup (as well as the makeup for a few of her friends).

    What lipstick makes you feel like a million bucks? I love wearing Dior Incognito – my lips but better.

    What’s your favorite way to spend a Saturday afternoon? Lazy times at home with family/friends.

    1.) My favorite desset would have to be oh my gosh pretty much everything sweet, but I guess if it has to be one it would be cherry cheese cake.

    2.) I have tried a couple of times to do nail art but sadly to say I’m not very good.

    3.) The counter I love to visit most is the blush.

    4.) I have helped do my sister’s makeup for homecoming and any other time she will let me.

    5.) My cats favorite toy is bascially anything that moves, he loves to get the others cat’s tails when they move them.

    6.) Saturday afternoon’s I prefer to spend them just being lazy at home, or date night is always great!

    I love Tiramisu, but I’m a huge sucker for any kind of dessert. I’ve tried, but I never have the patience to wait for my nails to dry so they usually come out as a hot mess. I always go to Chanel and Bobbi Brown 🙂 I did it for my sister once way back when, I wasn’t as good as I am now and I’m still not even good. I love hanging out watching tv with my boyfriend 🙂

    I have done makeup on my friends. The one thing that I excel at is cat eyeliner. I definitely notice all the different eye shapes they have but they always ask why it looks so different on them. It’s extremely hard to pull that look off on a hooded eye. Someone that has hooded eyes that has been practicing can obviously do it better than I can. I do try but makeup looks different on everyone and I’m not a trained professional. I guess you can’t please everyone so whenever I do a friend’s makeup now I’ll only do it on someone with a similar eye shape to mine.

    My boyfriend’s mom got our two kittens this “cat tunnel” sort of thing for Christmas… except they’re growing every month, and have almost grown out of it. But they still like to play “ostrich” and stick their heads in, leaving their bodies out… as if we can’t see them… pretty adorable.

    My boyfriend loves our cats (Linus and Lucy, b-t-dubs), but if I were single/if we weren’t living together I’d probably have a few more… I completely relate to the crazy cat lady mentality.

They seem very similar to me, but I haven’t swatched the LM. Wondering if I need it since I already have the NARS one.

    Hmmm…Nars is my poison. An old friend turned me on to Nars, about 8 years ago. There’s an emotional, magnetic quality to his work. It’s as if he studied women… I’ll take something like the London eye pencil, and it’s grey, but with a subtle range of blue and green in it…it makes my eyes look like jewels.
    If I win a gift card, it’ll all go to Nars.

His food bowl is in our basement, but he stands at the top of the basement steps and meows until one of his dutiful servants walks him down the stairs to his bowl. What a prince! We also have a black-and-white grumpy cat, Olive, who sleeps most of the time, and a fluffy Maine Coon named Viola who routinely kills small rodents.

    I happily spent yesterday with a good friend catching up on our lives and the last 5 episodes of Homeland. That show is so crazy good.

    Random: I just saw a photo of Lil’ Kim and she is losing her mind…her face is getting so weird looking and she’s beginning to resemble Michael Jackson.
    It’s sad…she was cute/pretty before she messed with her face. 🙁

    I definitely want to see Warm Bodies. I didn’t read it yet, but the movie looks really cute. 🙂

    Awww, I love how Tabs has come around. Maybe he’s almost ready for a less-stuffed friend? 🙂

    I’m really into bold lips, not sure y, but I wore my first red lip a few months ago. I’m really excited about the Millani lipsticks, and can’t beat the price so I can try a few! Thanks for your post!
