In the fall after tick season is over, I like to go hiking or walking with my friend Sue in the woods near where I live. Over the past couple of years, we have become very interested in the mushrooms that we’ve been seeing. Red ones. Pink ones. Red and pink ones! Purple ones. Polka …

Robin McGraw Revelation Luxury Skincare
A couple of week’s ago, I told you I was hooked on DefenAge Skincare (reviewed here), and that I didn’t want to switch to another line. Well, I finally looked at some of the products I had been sent, and I realized one brand sent products that were for different uses so I wouldn’t have …

An Introduction to La Collection Muscs Fragrances from Sylvaine Delacourte Paris
I must be Facebook’s favorite customer because the ads they post get me every time. Well, not every time but often enough. 😀 I’ve been a fragrance lover since I was a little girl. Instead of my interest in perfume slowing down, it has actually increased. Facebook is primarily responsible because through FB I …
Kiehl’s “Made for All” Gentle Body Wash
Once the heat in my house goes back on in the fall, my skin protests. All of a sudden, it feels drier and itchy. Ugh. Kiehl’s “Made for All” Gentle Body Wash came along at just the right time! Its formula is both gentle and soothing, and it’s a pleasure to use. The two key …

Greetings from the Berkshires! It really feels like autumn here with crisp air, the smell of fires in fireplaces, and some colorful trees. It is very New Englandy! We visited The Red Lion Inn, a hotel that was opened in 1773, before we went off to dinner in another town. Here are a few pix. …

eva•nyc Mane Magic 10-in-1 Hair Primer Giveaway
Subscription boxes and gifts from Influenster have been useful trial services for me. I actually have purchased quite a few full sizes of the samples that I have received. Yesterday’s post on the Luxie Rose Gold Kabuki Brush Set was a case in point. And today, here’s another one. A couple of months ago, I …
Luxie Rose Gold Kabuki Brush Set
Ipsy introduced me to Luxie makeup brushes. So far, I have received at least 10 Luxie brushes in my Ipsy bags over the years. Most of them are the pretty pink handled brushes with the rose gold ferrule, the metal piece that holds the bristles in place. I love them, and find myself reaching for …
New Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Compulsion Lipstick with Oil
I haven’t bought any drugstore makeup in a long time, but the CVS Extrabucks and 30% off coupon were burning a hole in my pocket. Not sure what attracted me to the Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Compulsion Lipstick (whew, what a long name!). It was probably the rose gold case that did it. The rose …
