Like any human being with ears, I LOVE the Beatles. But this post is not about everyone’s favorite BritBunch or even the stylish wonder of Sargent Peppers’ jacket. Nope, I have decided that once a month I will post  my Fab Five- that quintet of things that is just making Mimi mad with lust and desire…ok not that kind of blog. But you know how passionate I can get ;)

• Morgan Hotels– If you remember from last year around this same time, I was ravin’ onandonandon about the quirky-chic luxury of Miami’s Delano hotel. Well, I met the equally styling West Coast cousin Clift Hotel while visiting SanFran in February. Verdict? OheMGee- what’s in that water over at the Morgan Hotels HQ? Both spots emit instant-cool with their sexy low lights, drunk socialite decor and see&be seen eateries. Well lucky for you, Gilt Group is having a may-jah sale on Morgan Hotel locales in SF, Boston and LA. Hit me at highendrearend@gmail.com for an invite!

• BarebonesBeauty– Despite reports that job growth is back “partyin’ in the U.S.A.”, I am still recognizing the recession. So when it comes to the beauty routine I’m gettin’ (mostly) homeward bound- these eyebrows must be outsourced. Remember? Well, anyways, for the past few months I have relied on some simple methods to maintain my pretty- taking an ice-cube to my entire eye region every morning and night; homemade body scrub using olive oil and sugar; gettin’ out the footbath (tres 90s-chic, eh?) for at-home manis/pedis; re-discovering the wonders of Vaseline. If its nearly free and ups the face value, count Mimi in.

• Tracy Anderson I have always been a fitness fan, but the celeb excercise elf has me absolutely sprung! Her method, which is dabs of dance/part Pilates/some serious sweat, has whipped into shape some of Hollywood’s most famous fannies. Gwyneth Paltrow, Tracy’s most devoted client, frequently posts videos of her tyke trainer on her blog, and I am absolutely hooked. The workouts are not only effective, but so unique and fun! My fave vid is a killer arms workout set to Keri Hilson’s banger “Knock You Down.” Check it out below!

• Massive Attack I’ve referenced this borderline creepy, hauntingly sexy electronica group H.E.R.E before- but I was only one song deep back then. Pretty sure I was singing “Live With Me” in my sleep. Well, I have since discovered Massive’s entire new c.d. Heligoland and obsession is not even the word! There is such an organic coolness to their sound, I just want to walk around telling people, “I listen to Massive Attack- how cool of me, right?” Wait…there’s pretty much nothing cool about that, huh? Well, ignore lame-o Mimi and download “Psyche.”

• How Loose is Your Goose? For as long as I can remember, I have favored right-tight over bag(gy) lady. You’re probably thinking, “DUH, Meems! Who wouldn’t want their clothes to actually fit?” But no, I had a problem- pants’ buttons imprints that might as well have been tattoos; zippers that needed a starting line-up to close (it takes a village, huh…); and tops that required marathon sucking in. Well, I am a woman reformed- I am loving all things flowy and free…ok, so I haven’t totally kicked slim to the curb, but now I’m balancing it oh so chicly with its fit counterpart. Hellllllo, summer wardrobe!

What are you adoring for April? Don’t be shy….speak up, HighEnders!
