December and November were big months for me for finishing up and recycling empties, so I thought January would be a little lighter, and it was. But I’m still happy to finish up a number of products and make way for others. Most of my January empties were products that were relatively new to …
When I was in college when everyone else was doing the natural look and wearing tie dye T-shirts, I was wearing vintage clothing and bright red 1940s style lipstick. I collected and carried vintage compacts with me, and loved to whip out my red lipstick and fancy compact to reapply in public. I loved platform shoes. …
Happy Sunday, ladies! Hope you’re having a good weekend. I must say that we had several fun things going on. I don’t know if this is your thing, but it is mine. Jeff and I went to an HD performance from the Metropolitan Opera of Turandot. I had seen it at the Met a number of …

January is not quite over, so I’m going to get in my skincare favorites for 2015. For me, 2015 was a banner year for skincare, and it looks like 2016 will follow suit. Frankly, in each of the skincare subcategories, it will be hard for me to pick a winner and I know I’ll have …
I had been trying to increase my usage of glycolic acid in my skincare routine by jumping from a cream with 5% glycolic acid to 10%. But my poor skin objected! Just too painful for my sensitive skin. But a new way to use glycolic arrived on my doorstep several weeks ago: Exuviance Firm-NG6 Non-Acid …

As a collector of all things heart shaped, I love Valentine’s Day! Fortunately, Jeff helps me celebrate and we usually go out for a nice dinner. In fact, last year there was a blizzard, but Jeff and I got into his 4Runner with four wheel drive and headed out to a restaurant a few miles away. …
Woohoo! I’m first! I never get to be first. I’m usually last. Well, this week I was on the ball with the link to my perfume giveaway! If you are adventurous and would like to try a new scent, check out my review of indie brand, Juliette Has A Gun, and the scent, Lady Vengeance. …
Saturday means this week’s posts from the Beauty Spotlight Team. Have a look, and have a great day! The latest big obsession on Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog isn’t actually makeup or skincare, but instead a S’well Water Bottle that keeps liquids cold for 24 hours and hot for 12. Luminous skin begins with good …
The young stylist at Vidal Sassoon told me that my hair is in good shape! I thought it was very dry and damaged, but she assured me it only had dry ends. Yay! I’ve been working hard at trying to cure the dryness, and I guess I’m succeeding. That said, it made me nervous to …
The first ipsy bag of 2016 is themed “The Eyes Have It”, and it’s filled with goodies for eyes. And the makeup bag featuring 1950s faces with cat-eye sunglasses is the most adorable I’ve received yet in more than 2 years of subscribing. Don’t you just love it? Four of the five items I received …
I almost feel guilty posting this empties post because I have sooooo many empties from last month, December. I thought I did well in November, but not nearly as well as December. Since there are so many, I’ll try to be brief. Personal Care/Body Care Whish Shave Cream with Hair Inhibitor – Coconut: …
