Back in April, I picked up my Beauty Insider birthday gift from Sephora just before we left for Amsterdam. I know I wrote something about it, but I didn’t really get to use everything at that point. I rediscovered the box a few weeks ago, and I was reminded why I like Bite Beauty lipsticks …

At-Home Spa Treatment for Soft Hands with Parasilk gLOVE Treat
When I used to go to wonderful Georgette Klinger Salon on Madison Avenue in New York in the 1980s and 90s for a facial, the first thing the esthetician did was put big spa gloves on my hands. The gloves contained wax and oils, and they were heated in a microwave before they were applied. …

Our rustic, old school beach club finally put in a hot water shower in the women’s locker room about 5 years ago, I think. It was a long time coming. But since I was a kid coming to the beach club, there were no indoor showers. The club has been around since the beginning of …

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss: Metallic Rose
I can’t wear most liquid lipsticks, and I’ve been dying for lip gloss to make a comeback. Though liquid matte lipsticks are still going strong, lip gloss is seeming to have a moment.
