It’s Independence Day! It being a holiday and all, what are the chances of Tabs giving me a raise today? Or a day off? Lukewarm? Slim to none? Because things have been hoppin’ here lately at the shared headquarters of Makeup and Beauty Blog and Tabs the Cat Industries LLC. It’s been very busy! First of all, this has been Potty Training Week here…which is like Shark Week only messier. Connor’s been learning the ropes and making big girl moves. So far, so good. We’re chugging along, and all I have to say is that you haven’t lived until you’ve...

Over the years, I’ve learned that there are three types of gift card people in this world. The people that spend their gift cards decisively and right away without any hesitation.
