Seven Random Things You Didn’t Know about Karen at Makeup and Beauty Blog
1. I love all types of music. I hoard mp3s, and have songs that span all genres and eras. I realized last night that I had absolutely no Phil Collins songs in my music library, and for some reason this REALLY REALLY REALLY bothered me. So the first thing I did this morning was download “Billy, Don’t You Lose My Number,” “Sususudio,” and “Easy Lover.” I feel a bit more complete now.
For many years the real lyrics to the chorus in the song Invisible Touch (”She seems to have that invisible touch, yeah!”) eluded me. 
2. I collect quotes that I like. I keep them in a quote journal and when I need inspiration I flip through the pages and read through them. Here are seven of my favorites:
“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”
–T.S. Elliot.
“ You are a warrior, and you are not to turn your back on the battlefield.”
–Suze Orman
“I tell you one lesson I learned
If you wanna be something in life
You ain’t gonna get it unless
You give a little bit of sacrifice.”
–The Roots
“There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.”
–Martha Graham in “Dance to the Piper”
This is my favorite picture of Martha Graham. I had it on my bedroom wall for many years. 
“…rewriting is the essence of writing.”
–William Zinsser
“God has bigger plans for you than you could ever imagine for yourself.”
–Oprah Winfrey
“Life is terrific.”
–Random sticker in the laundry room
3. I drink lots of coffee. If I don’t I become very grumpy, especially in the morning.
4. My very first blush purchase was MAC Blushbaby in 2005.
5. I believe everyone should have a theme song! Your theme song can change depending on where you are in life or what you need at the moment. Currently mine is Jay-Z’s “Dirt Off Your Shoulder.”
6. I write travel articles, and if you’ve recently taken a cruise to Hawaii on one of the major cruise lines (Princess, Norweigan Cruise Lines) you might’ve read the hardcover book in your cabin with different stories on things to do and places to see in Hawaii. There’s a high probability of you reading something I wrote!
7. I like buying accessories, especially earrings, bracelets and hats.
