I spent all day Friday cooking and working in my gardens. I made pesto with some basil that I had on hand, then I made rye bread, and finally blueberry muffins since the supermarket had a sale on blueberries. For dinner, I made eggplant stackers using the pesto I made last night. Some day, I’ll …
This and That Before Memorial Weekend
I had another post I had planned to run today. But I noticed so many people seemed to be coming home from work early and leaving town today (Thursday) or getting ready to leave town tomorrow, that I changed my mind. Instead of a regular product review, I’ll just ramble for a minute or two …
Gabriel Cosmetics Eyeshadow Trio, Smokey Matte Grey
This past Christmas season, I got a chance to try the Zuzu Luxe Holiday Palette from Gabriel Cosmetics (review and holiday look here).

Jetsetter ipsy Bag May 2015
It was the post office’s fault that my May 2015 ipsy bag got delivered first to a city 30 miles from where I live, next to my local post office (2 miles from my house) where it was sorted, then sent on to the Boston post office where it was sorted again and finally returned to the …

L’Occibox Spring 2015 from L’Occitane
On Friday, I finally succumbed. I drove out to the mall and stopped in at L’Occitane to pick up the Spring 2015 L’Occibox. It’s been a while since I purchased anything from L’Occitane, and the $20 L’Occibox in the pretty cherry blossom decorated hat box was too good to pass up. I read reviews of the L’Occibox …

Now that the weather is getting much nicer, I’ve noticed that fewer women seem to have time for blog reading on Fridays.
