Rosie, who has a scientific mindset, enjoys baking. She values the accuracy of it and likens it to conducting experiments in a lab, but one where you can taste the results of your efforts.
We’re all thrilled because she launched her new French bakery, La boulangerie de Rosie, in Novato this past weekend.
I know! How exciting!
Sadly for Rosie, Marnie was supposed to be her baking assistant, but that doesn’t seem to be working out since Marnie disregards recipes and measurements…or really, any form of precision.
In fact, the concept for the bakery wasn’t originally Rosie’s. Tabs, as you might recall, was quite a visionary, and in the later years of his reign, he intended to open an upscale cat bakery that catered to both humans and felines, from which Rosie drew inspiration.
We can confidently say that had Tabs managed to launch the business, it would have been a tremendous success.
Indeed, everything that cat touched turned to gold. 💛
Your friendly neighborhood beauty enthusiast,
Karen

Welcome back to another delightful edition of our cherished series, “Tabs the Cat – Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot.” Now at its 856th volume, this weekly homage celebrates the life, legacy, and fabulous charm of Tabs the Cat, the original style icon and inspiration behind the Makeup and Beauty Blog.
### Who Was Tabs the Cat?
Tabs the Cat was no ordinary feline—he was a supermodel, beauty influencer, and the charming co-founder of the Makeup and Beauty Blog alongside his human assistant, Karen. With his magnificent tabby fur, captivating eyes, and impeccable fashion sense, Tabs enchanted readers for over a decade with his weekly style showcases, product critiques, and exclusive insights into his glamorous life.

### Volume 856: A Look Back at Tabs’ Iconic Spring Campaigns
In this week’s feature, we revisited some of Tabs’ most unforgettable spring campaigns. As the flowers blossom and days grow longer, we recall Tabs’ affection for seasonal beauty trends and his remarkable knack for making any backdrop—from a garden trail to a makeup station—feel like a runway.
#### 1. **The Cherry Blossom Collection**
One of Tabs’ most famous photo sessions unfolded beneath a canopy of cherry blossoms. Donning a custom-made pink satin collar embellished with faux pearls, Tabs posed elegantly amid the petals, promoting a limited-edition blush palette inspired by spring blooms. The campaign was a success, with fans lauding the soft, romantic vibe and Tabs’ innate photogenic appeal.
#### 2. **Pastel Perfection**
Tabs had a sharp eye for color theory, and his spring campaigns frequently showcased pastel hues that accentuated his warm tabby coloring. In one memorable session, he relaxed next to a collection of pastel nail polishes, each bottle artistically arranged to harmonize with his surroundings. His favorite? A mint green hue dubbed “Purr-fectly Polished.”
#### 3. **The Garden Glow Highlighter Launch**
To promote a new line of glowing highlighters, Tabs literally ventured into the garden. Surrounded by daffodils and tulips, he showcased the benefits of a radiant complexion (and the allure of a well-timed sunbeam). The campaign celebrated natural beauty and the delight in basking under the spring sunshine.
### Tabs’ Legacy in the Beauty World
Though Tabs crossed the rainbow bridge in 2019, his influence keeps inspiring beauty aficionados across the globe. His impact remains evident in the Makeup and Beauty Blog’s whimsical tone, innovative content, and ongoing tributes. Each week, Karen shares anecdotes, images, and musings that keep Tabs’ spirit alive and remind readers of the happiness he brought to their world.
Tabs was more than just a mascot—he was an inspiration, a guide, and a model of confidence and creativity. His weekly features continue to uplift readers, blending nostalgia, humor, and heartfelt admiration.
### What’s Next?
As we anticipate future volumes, fans can look forward to more never-before-seen snapshots from Tabs’ archives, themed retrospectives, and even guest appearances from his successor, Rosie the Kitten, who’s following in his paw prints with her own distinct charm.
Stay tuned for Volume 857, where we’ll delve into Tabs’ favorite summer beauty trends and his adventures in poolside glam.
