A Day in the Life of a Beauty Blogger
8:00: Alarm goes off. Ponder if you should really get up or maybe sleep in since there’s no one to yell at you if you don’t.
8:05: After snuggling with giant fat cat for a few minutes, brush teeth.
8:06: Consider being one of those people who wakes up at 7:00 for exercise for work. Dismiss idea.
8:07: Ponder taking shower and getting dressed and actually feeling like a normal human OR staying in PJ’s until later.
8:07: After having decided to not shower yet, make coffee.
8:15: Log into the following: WordPress, Gmail, Twitter and Facebook.
9:15: Realize you have spent an hour on piddling around on social media and need to get crackin’!
9:20: The youngest, most needy cat (Chewbacca) begins his morning ritual of pestering until he gets the second part of his breakfast. Feed cats.
9:30: Now that he’s been fed, above cat begins his morning ritual of pestering until he gets to go in backyard for a few minutes.
9:30: Take all three cats outside, watch them eat grass so they can later barf on carpet.
9:31: Check Twitter again.
9:40: Ok NOW get to work!
9:41: Check Twitter again.
9:42: Start editing photos, uploading, writing, editing, scheduling posts for next 1-3 days.

9:48: Continue editing photos, uploading, writing, editing, scheduling posts for next 1-3 days.
10:15: Start getting hungry realizing you have only had a cup of coffee.
10:16: Eat something smallish for breakfast.
10:17: Check Twitter again while eating.

11:01: Check Twitter again.
11:02: Check Instagram and see “likes” and comments for Sammy pic.
11:03: Shower, dress, do hair. Ponder actually putting on makeup because duh, you ARE a beauty blogger. Dismiss idea.
11:35: Check front door for packages.
11:36: Check Twitter again.
11:36: Back to work, dammit!
12:00: Start getting super ravenous for lunch.
12:25: Decide eating is probably a good idea before it’s too late.
12:26: Check Twitter.
12:27: Eat at desk while checking Twitter, Facebook, Email, Instagram.
12:44: Check front door for packages.
12:45: Let cats out into yard again for few minutes.
12:55: Check Twitter.
12:56: Take product and swatch photos, edit, write, etc.
1:30: Sammy begins his mid-afternoon meltdown for more food. Give cats a few kernels each.
1:35: With cats sleeping peacefully, check Twitter.
1:36: Check front door for packages.
1:37-3:30: More work. Check Twitter at least 2-10 times in-between.
3:30: Start getting hungry for a mid-afternoon snack. Eat bag of nuts or more likely pretzels or something carb-y. Maybe string cheese.
3:37: Curse self for not waiting until dinner to eat.
4:00: Sammy begins his late-afternoon meltdown for dinner (served at 5:00).
4:01: Ignore cat, check Twitter.
4:02: Final push through late afternoon slump.
4:30-5:00: Quitting time (usually unless a hot item comes in I need to immediately photograph/swatch).
4:30-5:00: Consider being one of those people who works out after work. Dismiss idea.
5:00-9:00: Check front door for packages approx 5 times.
And fin.

I have to giggle. I was gonna tweet and ask if the cat barfed, but then I read more and they obviously had…LOL…
Haha of course!
Only once? Man, are you lucky. I have to clean up barf at least 2x a day. But then again, I have 6 cats, so I guess it evens out. LOL >^.^<
So cute! Change this to Saturday and that is exactly my day!

Thanks!
11:03 <- Oh, yes. That is me during a day at home. =P
Rochelle´s last post…Different Dimension – Social Suicide
Haha!
Haha this is just like my days! Except mine involves more checking Facebook than Twitter, and more World of Warcraft than is probably acceptable in normal society… >_<
Delindel´s last post…31 Day Nail Challenge: Day 11
I was into WoW for like a few weeks years ago. That can SUCK you in!
Ditto!
Haaaa, love this! This is so my day, just insert “kids” for “cats” and it’s pretty damn similar

Tina B´s last post…New Bath & Body Works Halloween 2012 PLUS a 50% Off Sale
Hee hee
Yep, that’s what I was going to say… -cats +baby. Otherwise, pretty similar. Here is past noon and still haven’t taken a shower…
Nat´s last post…OPI, Essie, Chanel, Essence, Manhattan, Aveda & Lancôme, my picks for Fall
That sounds great!
I am always cleaning up cat throw up / hairballs. I should probably brush my cats more often but they hate it! I have to chase my older cat around the floor with the brush. It’s hilarious.
I do have to say I love exercise. You could always be one of those people who exercises in the middle of the day since you set your own schedule! Plus it’s a great excuse not to shower – “I can’t shower until after I work out.” – but then I really do need to shower after my work outs, so it can back-fire on me! Haha!
This is great!
Emi at Project Swatch´s last post…Revlon Backstage and Fashionista Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick Review & Swatches
Brilliant. Really had to laugh.
LOL you REALLY cracked me up with this one, Kelly! Love the “Take all three cats outside, watch them eat grass so they can later barf on carpet” part and the incessant Twitter-checking!
Sunny @ Mostly Sunny´s last post…Get Berry-Stained Lips with Giorgio Armani Rouge d’Armani #408!
This made me smile, I could pretty much relate to every step. On days when I don’t have work/class, I find that the “should I shower now or later” question always comes up… I usually put it off thinking, well I’m going to work out this morning so why shower before working out? Except then when I don’t work out, I’m just in my PJs until noon
Catherine´s last post…MUG Eyeshadow: Everyday Neutrals
This is my dream work day…except cleaning up the cat barf! LOL.

Are you ready for this colder weather?
Enjoy your blogging day!
lovenailpolish´s last post…Better Know a Versatile Blogger – AWARD TIME!
I haven’t laughed so hard since your Fall Nail Trends post!
Jammies´s last post…China Glaze Wicked Collection: Immortal
I want your job! Minus the cat barf, of course. I do the same stay in pj’s/get dressed dilemma too on my days off. Unless I am on a make up or polish haul, then it’s dressed and out the door and ready when they OPEN! But yeah it’s a nice treat to hang out and be a bum in the jammies for a few hours after waking.
This post is hysterical and made my day xo!
Hahaha, this is so spot on! Hilarious– I got a good chuckle out of this. And it pretty much accurately describes my Saturdays when I’m trying to swatch and get things ready for my blog!
Cat´s last post…Nail of the day!
You lead such a glamorous life!! This had me giggling!
Lindsey´s last post…Dots and Waves Mani
Whoa! I felt like such a slacker, and then I read this
You can exchange PhD Student for Beauty Blogger and that describes my day as well. …Sit down, write a few lines of my dissertation, review my to-do list, check Facebook again… lol.

Jenny´s last post…Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer Photos and Review
Lol cute. I love checking for packages and seeing what goodies have been delivered. And instead of cats, I’m constantly letting 6 dogs out haha.
Jacqueline´s last post…Little Random Update
LMAO I love this. So true!
Brooke @ BlushingNoir´s last post…Halloween Nail Art From Illamasqua
I love this!!! I can totally relate to this when I’m off from work. The only difference is it’s my daughter nagging me instead of cats, lol.
Marisa´s last post…Deborah Lippmann – Footloose
LOL That is awesome! Replace the cats with children and multiply the interruptions by 10 and omit the cat barf and you have my day. LOL
Perilously Pale´s last post…What’s Inside my October 2012 Topbox?
Hahaha this made me giggle!
Deborah´s last post…Sephora by OPI Traffic Stopper Copper over Sinful Colors In the Mist
Sounds just like me! Except I wait for my kids to get up so I can bath them then bath myself and I have no cats. Oh and I rarely check twitter so it’s always fb. lol
Very funny!! Do you really check Twitter that often? I’ll have to tweet to you right now and check! xo
Sounds like my day, except you have to insert: “read and write about painful, mind-numbingly boring stuff” everywhere you have: “work”, “take product and swatch photos, edit, write, etc.”, or “editing photos, uploading, writing, editing, scheduling posts for next 1-3 days”.
Lol.
At least cleaning up cat barf keeps me sane.
(!)
I’m not a blogger but this made me laugh! Reads sort of like my days went when I was a stay at home mom!!
Haha love it! Similar day for me too. Only with kids not pets and pee not barf. Add in the occasional kool aid spill, dumped potted plant, and broken nails and tada my life.
rebecca´s last post…Zoya Reece
Take out the cats and sick, add in some Bejeweled Blitz (OK, a lot) and some work on my business and ta da, there’s my day. Intersperse a few expletives and that’d be more truthful!
Leah´s last post…The A-Z of me
GIANT LOLZ!!! I was reading this entire post while nodding in agreement – sounds like one of my days, with the exception of cater to my dog aka: his Royal Hound-ness, and driving my daughter to and from school! Seriously funny – thanks for sharing! PS: still laughing!!!
Eugenia´s last post…A very royal wedding … Greek style!
This made me LOL, but instead of a cat, I have a dog.
ChiChi´s last post…BOO to you!
Oh this is so funny! This was bascially what my life was like when I was in uni!
Kimberley´s last post…Herbal Essences None of Your Frizzness Shampoo & Conditioner
OMG this is the best post EVER.
I wish I could contribute to my blog on a daily basis. I would love to do it just because it’s fun and it’s a great outlet. But unfortunately I’m moving and have 2 young kids, 1 & 3. They barely let me go to the bathroom by myself much less post a blog entry. Wait, I actually can’t remember the last time I went to the restroom alone lol
