Wooden Watch Review In spite of the fact that summer is my favorite season of the year, there is no doubt that the colors and fabrics of autumn really are the most beautiful, especially here in New England when the leaves begin to change color. And my closet becomes more appealing when I begin to …
I have thick, coarse, color-treated hair that was more dried out from a summer spent at the beach than I realized. I wear a hat at the beach as often as I can, but I get too hot wearing a hat when I’m outside jogging or gardening. So in spite of trying to do the …
This past week, I had two dinner engagements in Boston to celebrate birthdays, and it gave me a chance to get a little more dressed up than usual. And in figuring out what to put on my nails, I decided to revisit an old friend, Deborah Lippmann Single Ladies, a vampy, deep burgundy that was …
Happy Saturday and holiday weekend in the U.S.! I’m looking forward to our annual visit on Sunday to the Topsfield Fair, and I hope to have some photos to show for it. But now, here’s the next installment in the Beauty Spotlight Team’s series “Guilty Pleasures”, in which we get to see another side of the …

Amelia Thompson, the artisan behind Radical Works, makes bath and body products and fragrances in the most incredible and fun flavors and scents! The scents range from …
I know I’ve said this before, but I measure the passage of time in ipsy bags, and I got my September bag a couple of weeks ago. This year is just flying by! I wish it would slow down. This month’s theme is Face Fashion, and all of my products were face makeup, skincare or beauty …
I bought a Beautyblender months ago, and I love it. I don’t use it everyday. I switch off with kabuki brushes and foundation brushes. I’m always looking to save money. I would rather spend on something I really want and look for ways to do other things more inexpensively. I’ve been cleaning my Beautyblender with …
I’m a small person, and for me, small is beautiful! Stowaway Cosmetics had the brilliant idea of making their cosmetics in smaller sizes. Why is that a great idea you ask? Because it is so rare to use up makeup before it expires! In a recent study conducted by Stowaway and Poshly, it was shown that …
As I’ve mentioned before, I am the serum queen! I adore serums. I believe that they provide extra oomph to my moisturizer. I love to try new ones. About a month ago, I received MitoQ Power Antioxidant Rejuvenation Serum to try in exchange for an honest review. Brief Background on MitoQ and Its Mitochondrial Research MitoQ …
Giveaway News First things first. Congratulations to Marnie G, the winner of the Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline fragrance giveaway! Woo hoo! I sent her an email to notify her of her win. Hopefully, I’ll hear back from her soon. In the rare event that I don’t, another name will be selected by Rafflecopter. Thank you to …
It’s the weekend!, and I’m kinda pooped after a week of travel to Atlanta and San Antonio for work. So I’m looking forward to a restful weekend. But it’s going to be a chilly, rainy, windy, gloomy weekend here in MA. 🙁 Hopefully, the hurricane won’t hit us, but we will be getting more rain …
As a kid, I was in love with Davy Crockett because of the TV show on Disney on Sunday nights. I really wanted a coon-skinned hat, but my mother got me a Davy Crockett patch that she sewed on my jacket instead. Not quite the same as the hat, but better than nothing. In late August, …
As I mentioned recently in my review of Bellatorra Cellular Renewal Complex Advanced Facial Moisturizer, I am a true believer when it comes to a committed skincare routine. I started taking care of my skin in my late teens and really got on the bandwagon after I graduated from college. I’ve been adding different skincare products and …
I am a subscriber to Scentbird. Back in March, I reviewed Scentbird, the subscription service that sends a different 30 day supply of fragrance in a distinctive glass purse-size spray tube every month for $14.95. The 30 day supply is great because it’s enough for me or for anyone I would think to decide if a …
Happy first weekend of autumn! It’s definitely chilly here in New England, but still warm in the sunshine. Heading out to do some shrub trimming to get ready for having my house painted in October, yay! When you have a few minutes to yourself, take a look at this week’s beauty blogposts from the Beauty …
