All this talk about under-eye concealer, and about forgoing it lately, has me thinking about the kinds of makeup that people *don’t* wear. Incidentally, I’m actually surprised to hear that so many of you gals (and guys) forgo under-eye concealer! I’m really shocked. I thought I’d be in the minority, but I don’t think I am. Anyway, I’m scrolling through my makeup mental list, and here’s what I’ve got… Powder lipstick. I realize that this is rare, but NARS released a palette of them in the Erdem collection, and even though it was kitschy cool, the lazy lady in me...

When you’re well into your second decade of life, sometimes you can’t help but look back at the cats, toddlers and humans you’ve known, the places you’ve been, the flowers you’ve sniffed, the collars you’ve rocked, and the makeup looks you’ve inspired. Call it a fall career retrospective, if you will. Tabs (and I) got a little emo today looking back at old pics from falls of yore. Fall has always been one of Tabs’ favorite times of year, and not just because the turkeys are plump and the grass is extra green and tasty, but also because of fall...

I’ve had “mom hair” on my mind lately — pretty much ever since I saw this Saturday Night Live skit a couple weeks ago (thanks for sending it, Jen!). Haven’t laughed that hard in ages. 😂 When I think of “mom hair,” I think of my mom and the moms of my friends in the 80s, many of whom had some iteration of Princess Diana’s short hair style. Seems like the current version is shorter on the sides, but with smooth, severe bangs and spiky knives in the back. Even though I don’t think I’ve had a trademark mom hair...

As I sit here typing this on my laptop in my dining room, I still have sand between my toes, salt water in my fur… Actually, in my hair, but the word, “fur,” slipped out because throughout our entire trip down to San Simeon and Hearst Castle this weekend (I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow), I kept thinking about how much Tabs loved beaches. Some of his most historically successful, legendary kitty modeling photo shoots occurred ocean side. Waikiki on Oahu in Hawaii, and the Central California Coast, were among his favorite beach locales, and not just for kitty...

In case you need to reach me, I’ll be at the Michaels in San Rafael, California, because apparently I live there now! 😂 What is it about craft items I technically don’t need but desperately want? — like this Golden Girls cross stitch kit?! Never you mind that I’ve never stitched a cross in my life (?), but I want it anyway. I’m going again later today to get some frosting tips and bags so I can practice piping cupcakes this weekend. Maybe some more cookie cutters, too, if I find some cute ones. How about you? What are you...
