I recently reviewed a serum that had anti-pollution ingredients, and shortly after I got the serum, I received two lovely anti-pollution skincare products from the exquisite French luxury …
Brushes that straighten hair are all the rage. I was so curious about them because they looked like they’d do less damage to my hair.

When we stayed at the beautiful Junipine Resort hotel in Sedona AZ a couple of weeks ago, the amenities left for us in our townhouse bathrooms were from Tarocco, a brand that was unfamiliar to me. The bath and body products were scented with Sicilian Blood Orange, a scent I love. I found out that …
Lash serums have been big news over the past several years. While I was given the opportunity to try some of them out, I passed because I was concerned about irritating my already sensitive and finicky eyes and eyelids. But over the past few years, my blonde invisible lashes started to get sparser and more …

In addition to having a fun-to-shop website with over 350 products, MojoSpa is a family owned store located in the trendy Wicker Park area of Chicago. I wish I had known that when I used to go to Chicago on business. …
How can it be that May is here already? 2016 is zipping by much too fast. But I’m glad that spring is on the way, and I say “on the way” because it’s still cold here and there are no real leaves on the trees yet. In fact, I’m afraid we’re going to bypass the …
I am tough customer when it comes to teeth whitening. I have extremely sensitive teeth, a small mouth and a terrible gag reflex. Last summer, I tried to use a teeth whitening kit that required me to make a custom-fitted tray. Well, the tray wouldn’t fit in my tiny mouth. And the white strips sold …
Moss is taking over my lawn. I know it’s a losing battle, but I’m trying to fight it. My lawn needs “rejuvenation”. I’ve tried calling a couple of landscaping/lawn care companies, but so far no one has returned my calls. Today, Jeff helped me try to rake some of moss out of the backyard lawn. …
When the Beauty Spotlight Team decided to post about storage solutions for cosmetics, I must say I felt I was a little out of my element. Frankly, I have been overwhelmed by the size of my cosmetics collection. For most of my life, I could fit my entire makeup collection in a small makeup bag. …
Last night was the monthly meeting of the book club I belong to. I usually make an effort to get a little dressed up. Although most of the women in the group don’t wear makeup, I look at it as an opportunity to do so. How nice to actually leave the house wearing makeup rather than …

Joseph Nogucci makes a variety of fashion bracelets and necklaces made with different materials including beads, charms, metal links, leather, and crystals. It’s easy to choose jewelry …
I’ve mentioned a number of times that I am a fine soap lover. I can’t get enough. I love the way they look, the way they smell, the natural ingredients, and the special care with which they’re made. I use them in the shower, to wash my hands and occasionally on my face. Because I …
After a warmer than usual winter, we’re having a colder than usual spring in Massachusetts. I was still wearing my parka till recently. But when we went to the southwest on vacation, I realized that spring had definitely sprung outside of my little world. Spring and summer often mean switching to lighter scents. Perfect timing …
