Today I went into Boston for two pampering appointments. I passed the Public Garden on my way to my facial and my hair appointments. Though the Swan Boats haven’t returned to the pond yet, quite a few trees had tiny leaves sprouting on their branches. On St. Patrick’s Day. In Boston. Hmmm. Not normal. The …
Wearin’ O’ The Green: FOTD for St. Patrick’s Day!
Today is St. Patrick’s Day, a holiday that’s pretty big in the Boston area because we have so many people of Irish heritage. I even have a few friends who are actually from Ireland (and they won’t be the ones wearing green, most likely!). I thought I’d break out the Celtics jacket that my …
Ipsy Hello Spring Glam Bag March 2016
Yesterday I showed off my new Birchbox, and today is ipsy’s turn. How is it that I lucked out with two great boxes this month? ipsy’s theme is Hello Spring, very apt. But I was surprise that the pretty pastel colors on the postcard didn’t really go with the fabulous spring green bag with the …

Zoya Paloma Nail Lacquer: A Raspberry Jelly
Zoya had an amazing promotion a few weeks ago that I took advantage of. I ordered four shades one of which was a jelly named Paloma. I had never tried a jelly polish before. Frankly, a couple of years ago, I had no idea what a jelly is. Just like cream, matte, glitter, sheer etc., …

The Battle of the Balms: Lip Balms for Seriously Dry Lips

StriVectin, well-known for their research-based skincare products with their patented …
