During the summer, I got a chance to try out City Lips Lip Plumper (reviewed here), and it has become one of my favorite products of this year. I just finished up my first tube of clear, and started my next one. I have since purchased more clear that I wear every day and night, …
After years of haircare monogamy, I’ve been having all kinds of new relationships with haircare products, and my hair is thanking me for it! Be Gentle. Be Kind. When Sebastian discontinued the shampoo I used for years, I tried a new shampoo based on a glowing review from another blogger I follow. Briogeo. Be Gentle. Be …
Hope you all had a good Halloween! We were lucky that the bad weather held off till today, Saturday, so it didn’t ruin everyone’s fun time on Friday night. Though chilly, it seemed to be a perfect Halloween night. This year, we only had about 175 kids if we estimated correctly. Usually, it’s over 200. …
I have been a big fan of the original L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara, reviewed here. I loved the formula that both lengthened and volumized my lashes. It was that unwieldy wand that I couldn’t quite master. It is curved and wider at one end but only on one side. While it’s great for my right …
I love serums, and I never get tired of trying new ones. I use them at least twice a day. I practically drink the stuff 😉 For the past month, I’ve been trying out a serum from a brand that was new to me, Foxbrim. The product is Foxbrim Hyaluronic Acid Serum with Vitamins C …
Marc Jacobs Cosmetics recently introduced a limited edition collection of mini versions of the Highliner Gel Crayons, sold exclusively at Sephora. I first heard about it a couple of weeks ago, but when I read about the collection and saw the photos and swatches on Prime Beauty Blog here, Cindy easily convinced me that I had to …

I was blindsided this week. We had a Nor’easter that started on Tuesday night and finally moved out on Friday. I thought it was just supposed to rain. We had more than 5 inches of rain in a few hours and gale winds. That meant flooded basements (luckily, not mine), downed trees and limbs (one …
When I first met Jeff, he used to bring me roses frequently. Like almost every weekend. Pink ones. Yellow ones. And then finally, my favorite shade, coral. Now that we’ve been together for about 12 years, he brings roses for my birthday and Valentine’s Day, and I love getting them…I just wish they came a …
Recently, I received Teadora Rainforest at Dawn Nourishing Lip Butter to try out. The packaging is very well done: modern, attractive, and it reinforces what the brand stands for. Teadora celebrates the Brazilian rainforest by using natural, anti-oxidant rich ingredients from the rainforest in their bath and body products: acai: protects skin from environmental stress buriti …
My hair washing routine has been very spartan: shampoo and conditioner. Every now and then, a deep conditioner or hair mask. I was aware of the new oils on the market, and on occasion, I would use one on my ends after conditioning my hair/before blow-drying. A couple of weeks ago, I was sent a …
Another gorgeous autumn day. I took a stroll through my now shady backyard, since the sun is so much lower in the sky these days, and I noticed the last rose of the season. A stunner! Farewell flowers till next year. 😥 We’re off to a fall festival in beautiful Rockport MA, but before I go, …
Hi ladies, Because of the Monday holiday here in the U.S., this week seemed very short. So happy it’s Friday again! As I mentioned last week, Jeff and I went to the Topsfield Fair. We go every year, and everything is pretty much the same, but I love it anyway. Something new for us this …
ipsy completely surprised me this month. Why? They delivered my ipsy bag early, like the earliest I’ve ever gotten it. They sent me a notification yesterday saying the bag had shipped. I didn’t even bother to look at the tracking info since it usually takes a week from that point to get delivered. Well, yahoo! …
Remember a few weeks ago I crowned myself the queen of Vitamin C serums? Well, I’m adding another jewel to the crown with Kleem Organics Intensive Rejuvenating Vitamin C Serum. There are a zillion vitamin C serums on the market now. They certainly have taken the skincare world by storm. I’ve had good …
