- Welcome to my weekend vlog! On this vlog, I share my Sephora & Nordstrom Haul! Friday, with the combination of the blue skies, sunshine and warm weather Mark decided to get out the deck furniture while I added all of my decorative touches! We enjoyed a fun night with friends grilling on the deck, enjoying cocktails and listening to music around the chiminea! With our vacation right around the corner I shared some of the outfits that I am packing and a lot more!
Hugs!
Karen

Praying for your friend. You know, we don't like to think about it much. But, life is short. There have been so many people in their 50's that have recently died.

It looks like you are going to have a wonderful vacation! Thanks for sharing~ Wendy

HI Karen, I've had the Sud Pacifice(?) Fragrance in Vanilla Apricot. I hope they still make that one, it is so soft and yummy! I finished it and went on to other scents and you reminded me of it and how much I enjoyed the perfume. I'm so sorry to hear of your friend, it's so sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family and friends. Enjoy your vacation. Xox-Ellen

Aw, so sorry Karen. Hugs.
I agree with displaying the fresh produce in the fridge, sounds silly to some but it really does make it more inviting and encourages you to choose that first ; )
I loved how you style your outdoors, we are still so cold and grey outside yet. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Deb! Definitely, agree about making fruit more inviting! Everyone eats it when they see it right there! I love making our outdoors look like an additional room! I can't wait to get my flowers! It's still too chilly at night for that yet! Hugs! Karen xo

+Suzanne Legg here is a much older video.. this is where we share how we met and how we started our channel! ruclips.net/video/6dJODvQp5-A/видео.html Hugs! Karen 😘
Omg I don’t know what to say! I’m soooo upset. I lov watching you and Karen. But it’s effecting me in negative ways. I’ve never seen girls have so much in their lives. You both are lovely but I’m soooo depressed watching. I haven’t had such a wonderful life. I’m 72 yrs old , 3 strokes, 2 heart attacks. Daughter with mental illness, etc. what I wouldn’t give to be able to buy myself a pretty lipstick! I’m so envious it’s painful. I guess that’s really my problem if I’m honest. What could it possibly be like to have a home, shop, the $ to take care of your self. Fam. Husband. Unimaginable! Your both so blessed. I lov you girls. I lov to decorate and I lov make up , jewelry,body products. I love my taste . Same as you both. Traditional. I try 2 hand shops for everything. It just doesn’t seem fair. My therapist said life isn’t fair. I don’t even go to a restaurant 1 a yr. no movies. 4 Days @ jersey shore for vac. That’s it! Rehab and med. for my 37 yr old daughter. 😂😂😂 I keep myself looking nice. Immaculate house. Verbally abuse husband. Anger issues. I’m sorry. Wish I could just have a day in your life. Depression is Painful. I don’t see anything getting better. Trying to hold onto my house I built 45 yrs ago. Can’t afford taxes. We didn’t exchange Christmas gifts because we couldn’t afford to. We gather a few $ and sent to St Jude.❤️🙏 I have to say you girls do seem grate ful. Hope you realize how blessed you all are. God bless.
Hi Dear Karen, First, my heart is hurting for you and your friend. I can see how sad you are....I am so, so sorry. As you know I've been there. There are no words except that I pray for peace and healing.....it's in God's hands.
You, my dear, look stunning! Beautiful! Whatever your doing don't stop!!!
I hope you have a wonderful time on your vacation with your friends!
Oh! And the porch looks great too!
I don't always get to comment but just know that I love you and Lauren and I watch all your video's. Take Care xxoo Bev
Hi Beverly! I can't express enough how much your kind words mean to me. Sadly Michael passed away yesterday. He's finally in peace & we're thanking God for that. We are really looking forward to our vacation.. It's much needed! Hugs sweet friend! Karen xo
Hi Karen- sending prayers to your friend- I am so sorry- that really sucks.
Hi Jodi, thank you! Michael passed away yesterday. A very sad day. He's now in peace and that's all we prayed for. Thank you for your kind words. Hugs! Karen xo
My thoughts n prayers n sent ur and ur friend Mike's way🙏🏻. Remember in r weakest times, God is carrying us👍. Luvd ur vlog per usual Karen! Hv a BLAST in Punta Cana my friend!🤗
Hi Lolu! Thank you so much for your prayers & kind words. It means so much to me. Sadly Michael passed away yesterday. He's with the good lord and now all we can do is remember the wonderful times we had with him and celebrate his life. :) We're looking forward to our vacation! Stay tuned for vacation footage on my next Vlog! Hugs! Karen xo
Missing you so Im popping by to see your face. HUGS Jennifer
Your skin does look awesome ! You look great with your weight loss also!
Thank you so much! You are too sweet! Hugs! Karen xo
Karen you know when you weigh in at weight watchers there are rules! Strip everything off that you can.. With out scaring anyone of course 😉 and pee first! Lol... Love the new outfits. You all are going to have the best time! Sending prayers and hugs for your friend and their family. May they find peace in this sad trying time. God bless.
Hi Cassie! You are too funny! Actually there is a lady who changes for weigh in and she wears the same shorts & shirt each time! So cute! I appreciate your prayers and kinds words for my friend Michael. Sadly he passed away yesterday. He's now in peace. 🙏🏻 Hugs & God Bless, Karen xo
+2 Orchids I am sorry to hear your friend has passed. He is definitely in a better place now. Hugs...
Your weigh in can be affected by the clothes you are wearing and what you had to eat before weigh in. I am not getting to go to the meetings anymore but I always wore the same clothes and our weigh in was at 5:30 pm which really sucked because even if I ate light I still had breakfast and lunch in my system before weighing. A good thing for breakfast or a snack is fat free cream cheese mixed with cinnamon and Splenda or Stevia on top of toast or English muffin
Hi Gloria! I totally agree!! Clothes and time of day do make a difference when weighing in! I'm headed in the right direction so that's a good thing! Lol! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Hug! Karen xo
I loved your Punta Cana vlog. Haven’t been in a couple of years. Can’t wait to to try the pedicure!!! BTW where did you get those cute hammered gold bracelets??? Love them!!!
OH honey I am so sorry about your friend...hugs and prayers...xoxo Kristin
+Kristin Gehm Thanks Kristin! Michael passed away yesterday.. so sad and so loved. He's at peace, I'm going to miss him :) Hugs Karen xo
So sorry to hear about your friend - sending prayers your way. Your weight loss looks great. What do you mix in the PB powder?
+joy wells Hi Joy, thank you for your prayers. My dear friend Michael passed away yesterday.. so sad and so loved. Thank God he is now in peace.
I mix the PB2 in my yogurt and add to my smoothies..I also love it mixed with the 1 TB water, then I spread it on my toast! It's yummy! ... Hugs Karen xo
+2 Orchids. My sympathy.
My dear friend Michael passed away on April 25th. Rest In Peace my dear friend...
I'm late in catching up on vlogs (like always) but I had seen on Facebook that your friend had passed. I'm so very sorry for your loss, taken far too soon but he will have loved spending some time with you. Sending prayers to you and all of Michael's loved ones, he is at peace now. Lots of love xx
Do you know name of sweater from Urban Outfitters?
Hi Karen! It's BDG Parker Cardigan! I love it! Hugs! Karen xo
HI Lauren, I love the outfits. They are adorable omgsh! How do you pack them so they are nice when you take them out of the suit case. I usually take a travel bottle full of this dewrinkler by Downy I buy at Target to get the wrinkles out when I get there. I hope you have a wonderful vacation!! I am very very sorry about your friend. That is so sad. I will pray for him and his family. I am very sorry :( Hugs, Becki
Hi Becki, great idea about the Downy dewrinkler! I'll have to pick it up! Thank you for your prayers for Michael. Sadly he passed away yesterday. He's finally now in peace. We will miss him so much. :( Hugs, Karen xo
Ohhh :( I am so sorry for your loss. I will say more prayers too. Big hugs, Becki
Hi Karen, you are suppose to weigh yourself first thing in the morning, totally nude, that is your true weight, thats also why I always make my Dr's appointments the earliest possible, before you eat anything etc, love those lip colors, and clothes, pretty... I know this is a older video (April) Oh I love Home Goods, I can't believe you didn't find anything there ? Love love your pillows and stand.. Did you ever try Wax Melts? Great video as usual ! PS Little Archie looks so sweet in the front door ! Great job on your deck !
+Denise Millikan Hi Denise! I had to think back on that shopping trip to At Home! I'm surprised as well that I didn't come home with bags of stuff! Lol! I have tried wax melts! Actually I have some burning as we speak! :) Its hard to believe summer is almost over already! :( It's going so fast! Have a wonderful night! Hugs! Karen xo
