Painter's Tape

Painter’s tape is the blue, easy-peel tape decorators use to protect edges, and it became an unlikely star detail of this story: Mel Robbins wrote her name on a strip of it and wore it as a makeshift name tag while greeting PEOPLE’s photo crew at her Vermont home, a small gesture the magazine used to show how down-to-earth the self-help mogul remains.
