Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 893

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 more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). 1. Are smokey eyes dated? I feel like 10 years ago you could get away with wearing a full-on smokey eye in the middle of the day to go buy a loaf of bread and it was totally not a big deal, right? Because wearing ALL THE THINGS was very much the look of that era. Now? Eh, maybe not so much. That said, I still think that for certain events, a smokey eye still looks classic and chic, but it totally depnds on what you pair it with. 2. How early is too early? Anything before 5:30! 5:30 is no problem, though. 3. Do you enjoy driving? If I’m just scooting about town, then I don’t mind it. If it’s anything longer than two hours on the[Continue reading...]

Man, this inflation is crazy, isn’t it? Rosie’s been doing everything she can to help. I can’t say I have much job security, though, because Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC isn’t quite the plus-size kitty modeling powerhouse it once was. We’re getting by, but it’s tough. At least Rosie’s trying new things and coming up with new ideas to keep the business relevant, like her collaboration with FASA, the Feline Aeronautics and Space Administration. We got a lot of good sponsorships from that one. Yup, that one paid for a lotta chicken, if you know what I mean. 🙂 I gotta say, though, things have been tense around the office. Poor Marnie gets the brunt of it, too. Being an intern, she isn’t used to Rosie’s intensity, and it bubbles over every once in a while… Today Rosie spent five hours exploring the company garden, where she says she does a lot of her best brainstorming work. That’s funny because Tabs used to say the same thing, except that he coupled gardening with deep-tissue kitty[Continue reading...]

Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 892

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 more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). 1. Something on your nightstand? A big ol’ stack of books that are about to fall over, LOL! 2. Something funny your pet does? If Marnie likes you and walks past you, she’ll quickly lick your knee or your leg if you’re wearing shorts or a dress. We call it “drive-by lickies.” 3. Something you’d like to do today? Cook some late summer veggies that I’ve had since Tuesday. I wish all those lovely string beans, squash and zucchini would saute themselves in olive oil and a little salt, but alas, that’s not happening. 4. Something you’re trying to let go of? UGH, the clutter. I always think to myself, “I might need this someday,” but honestly, 99 percent of the time, I don’t even use whatever I[Continue reading...]

Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, Vol. 891

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 more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). 1. How good are you at keeping plants alive? I used to be OK at it, but these days not so much. I think I could still be if I wasn’t so busy with taking care of the other living things in my family (human, cat and dog, LOL). One day soon, though, Connor won’t need me as much, so maybe then I’ll get back into gardening. 2. A drugstore beauty staple you swear by? Aveeno body moisturizers. Sure, they’re not particularly exciting in terms of ingredients, but they keep my skin happily moisturized without any irritation, and the scents don’t aggravate my migraines. 3. What’s worse: getting a really itchy bug bite or having insomnia? Insomnia, hands down. 4. How often do you iron your clothes? Most[Continue reading...]

Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 871

Man, some of the neighbors around here used to have no respect for authority. Everyone knew that Tabs was the head honcho. He was the CFO (Chief Feline Officer), for meowing out loud! Like the local turkey troupe? They were always monopolizing the corporate salad bar. One day, Tabs wanted to grab a quick bite before he started some intense kitty modeling negotiations with Dior, but he couldn’t because of these guys… The nerve! There was a lot of unsanctioned outside activity. Everyone should have known that the so-called golden hour first thing in the morning was when Tabs liked to take his walk, so there shouldn’t have been any unsanctioned horseplay or activity. This guy even had the unmitigated gall to dig a big hole right next to Tabs! Can you even imagine? Some gophers are so disrespectful… 🙂 Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, Karen

Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 870

Tabs… One year on a very special Labor Day, Tabs gave the employees of Tabs the Cat Industries LLC the day off… I know! This came as a shock to everyone because Labor Day was normally one of the holidays the company did not observe, because Tabs liked to interpret “Labor Day” as meaning “a day to labor,” instead of as a day to celebrate labor by taking a day off. 🤔 Even though I basically ran the office on a day-to-day basis, it was hard to question him. He was, after all, the most successful plus-size kitty supermodel in Novato, California, history, so he obviously knew what he was doing. Even though Tabs didn’t encourage time off from work (he was a total workaholic), there was one thing he did encourage… Fashion! He always dressed to the nines, and he liked to see his employees do it too. Whether it was clothes, jewels or crowns, there were always people and cats playing dress-up at the office. Yup, it was a fun place to work.[Continue reading...]
