The Beauty Spotlight Team’s feature continues with cosmetics storage solutions from Marcia from BeautyInfoZone. Marcia tries to convince us that she’s disorganized but I don’t believe her for a second 😉 Join me as I head over to her site to see her post, “The Organization of a Disorganized Beauty Blogger” and find out what …
Have you tried manuka honey? I first heard about it early last winter when I had diverticulitis. Some people believe that honey that comes from bees that pollinate the local manuka bush has healing powers in treating wounds and other infections. Honey including the regular honey that most of us use has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Manuka honey …
May went by too fast! It’s time for empties again! I finished up quite a few things this month. So let’s go through the mini-reviews and see what’s worth repurchasing for me. Skincare StriVectin Tightening Neck Cream: This is the second full size jar of StriVectin Neck Cream that I’ve finished up since last August, …
As you know, I’m a big fan of StriVectin skincare products. Their Tightening Neck Cream is a must-have for me, and I love their Multi-Action Restorative Cream and the Oxygen Infusion Smoothing Mask that’s so fun to hear the bubbles pop. A couple of months ago, I received StriVectin Intensive Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles to …
Blending sponges have really revolutionized the application of makeup. At least they have for me! I still love using brushes for certain applications, but blending sponges are so fast and I love the airbrushed finish that I get from them. Often I use a sponge in conjunction with a brush particularly with highly pigmented and deep blush …
It’s been at least 4 years since Jeff and I went canoeing on the Ipswich River. It used to be something we did every year. Saturday was the perfect day to restart our tradition. It was warm but not hot, partly sunny, not humid, no bugs. We drove over to Foote Brothers in Ipswich MA to …
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend! Saturday was the gem of the weekend here, so we got outside and enjoyed the day. Sunday we’re expecting rain. But local wine shop, Savour, is having a rose wine event with cheese and charcuterie pairings so it’ll be a nice way to spend the afternoon. What are you up …

For Spring 2016, Barielle came out with a new Signature Collection of nail polish with ProSina, a patented, highly specialized polypeptide that works with keratin to strengthen, condition, protect, and improve the health of the weak, thin or brittle nails. They selected shades from their original collection and, I believe, added some new ones too, …
Just in time for real spring weather and the glorious summer yet to come, Mirabella sent me their new Lighten Up Collection Spring 2016. I’m in absolute love with these bright, warm spring hues that are perfect for this redhead…but frankly, I think they look great on brunettes, blondes, raven haired and pastel-haired beauties alike. Let’s take …
Tonight, I’m hosting my book club and that means making dinner for the group. That put me in mind to do a cooking post today. No, I’m not making a Dutch baby for dinner, but I suppose I could. I’m making chicken with mole sauce, but I’ll leave that recipe for another day. Chris, my …
Last night, we were invited to our friends’ home for dinner. It was a hot night, almost 90 degrees, and we had spent the afternoon at the beach. It definitely put me in a summery mood. I pulled out a pair of shorts and an aqua polka dot T-shirt that goes with my aqua Sofft …
First, congratulations to Susan P. the winner of the Exuviance Sheer Daily Protector Sunscreen SPF 50! Woo hoo! Sue’s face should be nicely protected from the sun with this terrific sunscreen.

The Beauty Spotlight Team’s feature on ideas for storing cosmetics and beauty products continues this week with classic solutions from Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog. I’ve put several of her solutions on my purchase list. Take a look! Helen from Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog had, what seemed to be, an insurmountable storage problem with all of …
Why is it so difficult to find foundations and BB/CC creams that are the right shade? And why is finding foundation with the correct undertone almost impossible? Why does my skin tone change substantially in the summer in spite of the fact that I wear sunscreen? It is what it is. So I’ve had to …
