Now that the weather is officially cold, I am wearing more layers and more tights and socks. I had lots of opportunities to wear the rest of the hosiery that I received in October from Berkshire (reviewed here). But also, the black anklets and the black and white polka dot anklets that I reviewed last …
Girly accessories are my absolute faves. I enjoy using them and just looking at them! And accessories from The Vintage Cosmetic Company are my go-to when I am buying personal care and bath and body accessories for myself and for women whom I know love the vintage feel. The 1950s inspired prints, retro polka dots, …
This week has been even busier so far than Thanksgiving week. How can that be? I have so much on my plate – good stuff – that I just didn’t get my post up for Wednesday. And I had meant to post this week’s Fashion Flash on Monday afternoon, and I didn’t get to that. …

I was so excited to receive my first Advent Calendar of any kind ever! The 24 Days of Enchanted Beauty Calendar from The Body Shop arrived at my door a couple of weeks ago. I wondered if people who buy their own Advent Calendars or receive them as gifts open them all at once or …

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am still stuffed 🙂 Although I already did a haul at both Ulta and Sephora during their November sales, there may be a couple of items that I can’t resist picking up at a discount. This is by no means an exhaustive list of sales, but they’re the …
Sometimes in the day to day business of living, it’s easy to forget all the things I should be thankful for. How lovely that we have this day to reflect on the things, big and small, that we should be grateful for! I am thankful for all of you who read my blogposts, take the …
Have you noticed that I have been reviewing more and more natural and organic skincare lately? Certainly, the independent brands have gotten the message about consumers wanting beauty products made with better and safer ingredients that are still effective. Hooray for that! Today, I’d like to introduce you to another natural skincare company and brand, …
Ah, the best of intentions! I had planned to get this post up yesterday, and to post about another skincare line that has links to the fabulous exhibit that I saw on Saturday at the Peabody Essex Museum. I started it, but we’re expecting snow tomorrow and frigid temperatures for Thanksgiving so I had to …
When the heat goes on in my house, my skin immediately goes into a tailspin. I’m spending more time inside exposed to drying heat, even with a humidifier. Sadly if I don’t act, my skin gets drier and unhappy. It’s absolutely necessary for me to change up my facial and body care routine adding oils …

Ipsy introduced a full size subscription bag last month. Although I got some nice goodies, I had problems with some of them. I contacted Ipsy Customer Services and received a $10 refund because two of the items were unusable and Ipsy was unable to replace them. Because the new full size subscription bag launched with …

In fact, as I was writing this post, I received an email from Breast Cancer Prevention Partners about supporting the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and Personal Care Products, a …
