Aloha, friend! Chances are, as you’re reading this, I’m on a plane ✈️ soaring over the Pacific Ocean, because we’re headed to Hawaii 🌺 today (the island of Oahu) to see family. Word on the street is that it’s “cold” (air quotes) over there right now, but you know…if cold means upper-70s with an occasional downpour, I’ll take it.

I wonder how long the cats on the cover actually had those sweaters on…because Tabs would have slipped out quicker than a cheetah chasing dinner. Anywho…if you’re looking for a gift for your favorite crazy cat lady, I think this would be purr-fect. I’m taking it easy today because,...

Oh, gosh, where do I even start? — because there are so many levels and layers to this answer! Out of all the things that are hard for me about doing eye makeup (and, dude, there are so many of them), the hardest for me is applying eyeshadow. Loved it since the beginning of time, but it took me years to figure out what to do with it with any degree of competency. And when I really started putting ALL THE THINGS on my lids, I read books and tried to follow tutorials, so I’d put color in the crease...
