Apparently I need to post some code right here before I can “claim” my blog on Bloglovin.’ Doesn’t that seem odd? Well, I’ll give it a try:
<a href=”http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/3703026/?claim=7vsrfffsppt”>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>
And yes, it worked. I’ve added a “widget” near the bottom of the right-hand column. You can also follow me on Google+ now!
Since I’ve just celebrated one year of blogging here at Tinsel Creation, I thought it would be fun to look back and see which which posts have received the most attention. Thanks to WordPress’s handy statistics-tracker, I was able to see at a glance which of my own obsessions found their audience. What were they?

Today is Tinsel Creation’s one-year anniversary.
Many thanks to the friends who encouraged me to create this blog, and to the readers who continue to visit it!

What’s on my mind, during this “cruelest month”? Here’s a quick list…
Reading: I finally got around to starting Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall. Amazing.
Audio: Lately I’ve been having some 90s nostalgia and listening to Garbage’s earlier albums.
Beauty Products: I’m going through a big crush on Aesop skincare; reviews to come.
Garb: New spring dresses from Boden and eShakti, which I’m already starting to wear with tights and cardigans. (Sorry, don’t expect any real “fashion-blogging” here!)
Art: A rare and wonderful exhibition of John Singer Sargent’s watercolors at the Brooklyn Museum (open through July 28th).
Eats and Treats: Chobani “Bites” yogurt, especially Coffee with Dark Chocolate Chips. I’m also still nibbling on leftover Easter candy.
Worry: Our cat M. is recuperating from treatment for hyperthyroidism, and it’s hard not to see her quite herself (yet).
Joy: The “longer days” of Spring, meaning the extended daylight, which makes me feel perkier and more productive.
What are your current preoccupations? Feel free to share in the comments!

Just about a year ago, the product-sampling club Birchbox invited me to take part in a competition. Twelve bloggers were submitting their ideas for a new nail polish color, with a name, a description and a “mood board.” Three winners would see their concepts made into actual products by the nail-polish brand Zoya.
How could I refuse?
