Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I started holiday shopping at the end of August this year. When Jeff went to visit his older daughter in Atlanta, I drove up to Newburyport, a beautiful seaside city north of Boston, that’s a great place for boutique shopping. It was a lovely warm but not hot Sunday, and I thought I was so …

Gimme all the hydration for my skin! I saw Vichy Mineral 89 Daily Skin Booster on a number of bloggers’ sites, and what first attracted me was the bottle. The thick glass ombre bottle looks like water, and the upside down V shape is so unique and modern. I couldn’t pass it by. Vichy Mineral …
I love face oils especially at this time of year when the temperatures dip. And they finally dipped on Tuesday night north of Boston. We had our first freeze. Several weeks ago, I received a relaunched and reformulated version of the popular Amalie Beauty anti-aging face oil: Rewind Face Oil, based on the idea of turning …
At the end of the summer, I noticed the cute casual shoe-sneakers that my friend Audrey was wearing when we were having lunch at the beach club. They were adorable, and they looked so comfortable. I decided I needed to get a pair of my own. When it comes to footwear, I guess I’m pretty …
You may know Derma E for first rate, natural and affordable facial skincare. I recently wrote about their lovely Nourishing Rose Cleansing Oil and Microdermabrasion Scrub not long ago. Well, Derma E is more than facial skincare! They also make “therapeutic topicals”, skincare products to address a variety of skin conditions and to help create healthy skin. I …
October was a banner month for me in terms of using up a lot of cosmetics, including a number of full size products. Yay! Let’s take a look and see which were the winners and which not so much. Cleansing Products Murad Essential-C Cleanser: This wonderful gel facial cleanser is my favorite for the warm/hot …

Things have been hectic and off schedule this week. But sometimes that just happens. Usually I put up the link for Fashion Flash on Monday or Tuesday the latest, but here it’s Friday already. Yikes. The supremely accomplished Barbara Grufferman is our host for Fashion Flash this week. Her current blog, Best of Everything After 50, …
I’ve been at Jeff’s for about a week so far helping him after his hip replacement surgery. Now that he can use only one crutch, he’s more self-sufficient but he’s still not quite back to his old self yet. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a dishwasher. I grew up without a dishwasher, and my longtime New …
When I was offered NeoCell Ceramides Skin Hydrator to try out, I don’t think I knew that it was a bottle of supplements (though I have tried other supplements from NeoCell before). But when they arrived, I was happy to receive a bottle of skincare capsules rather than another skincare serum or cream to try. …
I’ve been seeing a lot reviews for various Physicians Formula Butter products lately. Because I’m a fan of cream-to-powders or creamy powders, I wanted to try it. I had a $5 off coupon at Ulta, so I decided to give it a go. At Ulta, just like at CVS, there was a very small selection …
There’s nothing like a piece of new jewelry to perk me up especially jewelry that is linked to the new season. I received a new amber necklace from the artisanal jewelry, accessories, gift, and home decor retailer, Uno Alla Volta last week. I’ve written about them several times before. If you recall, Uno Alla Volta …
Happy weekend! Quiet weekend here. Jeff is home from the hospital after his hip replacement, and he seems to be doing pretty well. But on crutches, not being able to bend and still very tired, we’ll be taking a break for a while from our usual busy schedule. Hopefully, Jeff will try to walk down …
A couple of years ago, an esthetician who did my facial told me that my skin was well-hydrated. I was thrilled to hear that. Since then I’ve been doing what I can to keep my skin hydrated. I need to get one of those electronic meters to figure out how I’m doing. Because I don’t …
