So…what is the Monday Poll? Good question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll. 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 gazillion years (more than 10!). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a great start. 👍 1. How good are you about keeping your makeup collection de-cluttered? Ya know…even before I started blogging, I was terrible at it. Absolutely awful. I need someone to hold my hand and talk me out of my crazy...

Quick take: This limited edition spring launch has lots of lovely wearable pinks for your eyes, cheeks and lips. Definitely grab ye a bottle of the Cherry Blossom Fix+ if you’re already in the Fix+ fam.

I think she’s a little disappointed that I’m not as crazy...

And he couldn’t trust his regular hat person, Jean Luc, for this project, despite Jean Luc’s impeccable reputation as the best milliner on the Champs Elysées. Tabs couldn’t risk the design being leaked to the fashion press before today’s big unveiling, so he kept the final design under lock and key and worked through the night shaping the reindeer antlers himself. Expect to see cats...

Say what!? You don’t have a favorite tree? That, my friend, is crazy business. You need one. You owe it to yourself to find a tree 🌳 that speaks to your soul, and designate it as your favorite. 🙂 This one’s been my favorite for years, and it goes OFF in the spring. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I get so emo about this tree! I could get lost for hours just staring up at it. I love her pale pink flowers, silvery gray trunk and the light green lichen on her branches. I look forward to it every...
