OMG, I am so exhausted that it requires too much energy to even breathe. I just got in from shoveling snow for 3 and a half hours. Our Nor’easter yesterday dropped about 7 inches of snow, much less than predicted, but then it turned to rain and compacted and drenched the snow, and then it …

To be honest, it’s tough to make an appraisal of a beauty product from a small sample. But a number of samples of varying sizes have come my way recently, and there are several standouts among the bunch that warrant buying a full size IMO. I thought I’d tell you about all of them and …

I recently wrote about an organics ingredients certification that I hadn’t been aware of, NSF/ANSI 305, that certifies to a particular standard. The world’s largest certifier QAI is authorized by the USDA to certify organic operations according to …
I’ve written about glo-minerals Bold Pursuits Holiday 2016 Makeup Collection and also glo-therapeutics Cyto-luxe skincare in the past. I’m a big fan of both product lines. I was happy to receive a selection of glo-minerals new products for Spring 2017. I received two new primer products – Shadow Primer and Mattifying Primer – and two …
Well, calling it a haul is an exaggeration, but this was my first little shopping spree at Darling Girl Cosmetics, a cruelty-free indie brand that appears to specialize in duochrome, color shifting and glittery eye, face and lip makeup, some of which is vegan.

Greetings from Mittersill Community in Franconia NH! I’m visiting friends in a reproduction Austrian alpine community at Cannon Mountain. It is too cute for words. Each chalet has a slightly different style and different decorations of their shutters. Here’s my friend’s chalet and moose shutters. Although it is going to be very cold today (around …
Masqueology is a Korean sheet mask brand that I wrote about before Christmas. I recommended them as stocking stuffers or affordable small gifts. They’re available at Walmart, and at $2.50 a piece, they’re a really good deal. They have a pricier version sold at Dermstore. I’ve come across another Masqueology mask that I wanted to …
