Happy Mother’s Day, or, as Tabs calls it, “Employee Appreciation Day.” Today he granted me an audience with himself, which I enjoyed very much. We sat and read together and watched birds on the front steps. *sigh* He’s not my little kitty boy anymore. 🙁 He’s a captain of industry, and he doesn’t have as much patience as he used to. Now he’s all about productivity when it comes to…pretty much everything, LOL. When we’re outside, he doesn’t like to just sit and chill quite as much as he used to. He’d rather patrol the circle or go exploring on...

This month I am CRAZY ABOUT CREAMS. Stay tuned for some of my favorite cream makeup products all throughout January. BRRR! You guys…it’s so cold! ⛄ I know that that must sound mildly hilarious coming from a ☀️ Californian, but seriously, there’s a big difference between Northern California and Southern California. Here in NorCal, it gets almost freezing… Hardy-har-har, yes, I know that 37 degrees isn’t arctic, but let me tell ya, it’s been so cold in the mornings that my butt bones, my teeth and even my eyebrows are cold! Now, you’re probably thinking, “DUDE, why are we talking...

One of my grandest multitasking loves could be considered basic…but it’s a wonderful workhorse. It’s MAC Brun Eyeshadow, and I use it as a brow filler, an eyeliner and, yes, as an eyeshadow. Dark brown Brun is neither too warm nor too gray, and its satin finish looks almost matte when it’s on skin. Also, yeah, it’s surprisingly easy to blend. 🙂 I’ve been wearing it for north of a decade now (YIKES), and it’s one of my tried-and-true MAC faves. It’s truly a staple. That said, I also ❤️ me some Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer, which is practically...

More adventures on the gluten-free front. (Good morning and happy Saturday, by the way!) I should have taken pics along the way when I made this GF veggie spaghetti the other day, but it was totally improvised, a.k.a. I had no idea if it was going to taste gross, so there were no cameras up in the mix. Cameras only get involved when there is 0% gross factor, ha ha! The pasta turned out pretty darn delicious, if I do say so myself. It’s made out of yellow lentils and brown rice and tastes kinda nutty, like Japanese soba noodles....

So…what is the Monday Poll? Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start. ? 1. To blend or not to blend? Blend it! And then, even if you don’t think you need to, blend it some more. 2. One thing your best friend(s) taught you? They taught me...
