I’ve been trying hard to incorporate more natural and organic products into my skincare and haircare routines over the past year. Since skincare and haircare ingredients are absorbed into the body, I am sometimes a little uneasy about some products that I used to use all the time. So I am actively seeking out new …
Tarte Picture Perfect Lash Curler
A few months ago, I bought the Tarte CC Matte Be Mattenificent Shadow Palette (reviewed here) on the Tarte website. As usual, I got a deal. I bought it at 20% off for signing up for their email list. In order to get free shipping, I had to spend a certain amount. To get to …
Weekly Roundup 20 July 2014 Beauty Blog Coalition
Well, the weekend is just rolling along. I hope you’re having a good one. On Saturday, it was cloudy. Instead of going to the beach, Jeff and I went for a long (for me) bike ride. Although jogging has always been my exercise of choice, my old knees and leg muscles aren’t what they used …

Fairy Princess Mani
I was inspired by a mani that I saw on Facebook to create my own version of what I’m calling my fairy princess mani. Maybe it’s more appropriate for an 8 year old, but I don’t care. I love it, and I think it’s so pretty, sparkly and girly. …

80 Acres Body Care of McEvoy Ranch
Last week, I was in San Francisco on a business trip for about 30 hours. Before work, I was able to get in a long walk to one of my favorite haunts, the Ferry Building. If you haven’t been there, the Ferry Building is just that, the place you go to get the ferry to …
Weekly Roundups from Beauty Blog Coalition and Beauty Blogazons July 12 2014
Hey Ladies, I’ve been traveling all week to Atlanta and San Francisco. I think the project went well, meaning my clients learned what they needed to, and all my flights were on time. That said, I’m exhausted in spite of having a good trip. This week I am going to combine the links for these …
NOTD: Blue Sparkles Mani Inspired by Shanghai Tang Memories
Several years ago, whenever I went to New York, I always visited one of my favorite stores, Shanghai Tang on Madison Avenue. Shanghai Tang is a high-end Chinese clothing, accessories and decor store started by Sir David Tang, that was billed as the first Chinese international fashion and luxury company. They even had the …
Hare Magic Green Moroccan Lipstick
Ever buy something on a whim and then think, Why did I do that? Well, I sorta feel that way about Hare Magic Green Moroccan Lipstick. I read a post about it on Total Beauty, I think it was. A young woman tried out a magic green lipstick that changed color on her lips and stayed on …
Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Eyeshadow: Vintage Plum, Deep Forest
I have no idea why it has taken me so long to write about the Maybelline Color Tattoo line of cream eyeshadows. As you may know, I’m a big fan of cream shadows. I know that not everyone is. I’ve got dry eyelids, so I have no problem with cream shadows sliding around on my …

Saturday 5 July ’14 Beauty Blogazons Weekly Roundup
Well, Fourth of July was a washout, literally here along the Massachusetts coast. We got soaked, but fortunately not as bad as the southern part of the state and Nantucket who got the brunt of the storm with severe flooding and high winds. Whew, no damage here, just lots of rain. So instead of a cookout, …
Happy Independence Day!

Hope you enjoy the holiday with fireworks, barbecues, picnics, beach, boating, camping, baseball games, and all those things that Americans do for fun in the summer. Unfortunately, due to the threat of a rainstorm, the fireworks that we usually go to in Gloucester …
essie Nail Lacquer, Mojito Madness
On the way home from the CPA’s office, I stopped into Whole Foods to pick up a few of their delicious and affordable sausages as well as chicken breasts that were on sale. The approximately 18 year old cashier made my day when she told me she loooooved my nail polish. That almost never happens. …
