The Trader Joe’s beauty section should have a big-@ss warning sign above the aisle — something akin to “BEWARE! YOU’RE ENTERING SPUR-OF-THE-MOMENT SPENDING TERRITORY!” That would work, or better yet a huge LCD screen with winged dollar bills floating away, since we’re moving toward a world where we will soon be communicating solely through emojis. 💸 💸 💸 💸 💸 I’ve always had trouble saying “no” to anything having to do with makeup removal, especially face oils, because what goes on, must come off, so grabbing this facial cleansing oil was a no-brainer. Somehow, TJ’s found a way to make...

First reaction: “Eh…it’s a’ight. It’s not really doing it for me.” Eventual reaction, sometimes months/years later: “WOWWWWWWW!” This has happened to me a few times, where the first time I used something I thought, “bluh,” but then time passes, things change, I change, maybe my skin changes, and then I’ll re-try a product and be like, “This is actually pretty good! What was I thinking?!” It happened just recently with Hourglass Retouch Fluid, their lightweight concealer, which I have in Sand.

“It’s classy. Not trashy!” You may recall these glistening gems from your last buried treasure discovery…or from the last MAC Holiday collection, but if you don’t, or if you missed out the last time around, grab ye one from the new MAC Get Blazed collection.

Yup, even for daytime. The trick is to apply them with a soft fluffy brush, and I...

Elon Musk on his “mind blowing” mission to Mars:“Essentially what we’re saying is we’re establishing a cargo route to Mars, it’s a regular cargo route. You can count on it. It’s going happen every 26 months. Like a train leaving the station. And if scientists around the world know that they can count on that, and it’s going to be inexpensive, relatively speaking compared to anything in the past, then they will plan accordingly and come up with a lot of great experiments.”Via WPImage caption: “An artist’s rendering of what a SpaceX Dragon capsule would look like landing on Mars.

Oh, man! Fall was my former employer’s favorite time of year. It meant the purr-fect combo of comfy temps and low humidity for fabulous fur. In fact, he did all his best fur work in fall. Best kitty modeling fur campaigns, that’s for sure. He loved fall fashion, too. Chunky scarves, boots with the fur (faux fur, of course), and he also had a thing for down vests and cozy ties. I don’t know if you knew this, but Tabs was the first to make tabby lunchtime walks a thing. He basically pioneered the entire feline lunchtime fitness craze. He...
