Every year in December, my book club has a special get-together with a festive meal and a Yankee Swap with books. No matter whose house it’s at, Linda, one of our exceptionally talented members, brings a little gift for everyone that she made herself. One year it was a tree ornament, another year it was …

A year ago, I wrote about the new L’Oreal Age Perfect Rosy Tone Moisturizer that I received for review from L’Oreal (review here). The ad campaign featuring Helen Mirren and the peachy-pink shade of the cream had caught my eye long before I received the product. A few weeks ago, Influenster sent me a new …
It’s freakin’ freezing out! Tonight it’s going down to single digits and the wind is howling! I guess ole’ man winter has finally arrived. Jeff and I were going to go to a bonfire tonight, but it’s just too darn cold. So I think we’ll see a movie instead. We still haven’t seen Bohemian Rhapsody, …
Right now, I have 8 different shower gels and scents in my shower. The vast majority are from Molton Brown. I got started on my road to ruin, lol, a couple of years ago, when I got a travel size bottle of deep purple Molton Brown Relaxing Ylang Ylang Shower Gel in my first Barney’s …
Yesterday started with me being awakened by the doorbell. The HVAC repairman arrived 90 minutes early. When does that ever happen? He brought a part to install in my ancient humidifier that was added on to my furnace when I bought the house 17 years ago. I offered him a cup of coffee, and when …
It’s been ages since I’ve done a look of the day, and this one isn’t really a LOTD. I am home on a dark, gloomy, rainy day, and it was a good opportunity to get out a couple of new-to-me makeup products that I’ve been playing with for a little while. Since I had to …
Now that the holidays are over, you’re probably tired of cooking. But then some of us love to do more cooking during the winter when many of us spend more time indoors. Here’s an easy vegetarian appetizer, lunch, dinner, or side dish that’s a cinch to make. It’s great for company, to bring to a …
Looking back at the bath, body and hair products that I tried in 2018, there were a number of standouts for me. Here we go! Bath and Body Farmhouse Fresh Vanilla Bourbon Body Oil: The vanilla bourbon scent of this body oil is truly divine. I wish that FHF would make a matching body …
Even though the holidays are over, there’s still a lot going on. For one thing, Jeff finally talked me into getting a new big flat screen TV for the great room. I’m probably the last American to get a big screen TV. Costco had a good price on a 55″ Samsung with a center support …
I love to look back and see what I discovered in 2018 that I really loved. Here are the makeup products, makeup tools or accessories and two nail products that I found in 2018 and have become favorites of mine. Surprisingly, no eyeshadow palettes. I am thinking I don’t need to buy any more …
I am committed to moving more of the products in my stash in 2019, and what better way to start 2019 than with a giveaway! Especially exciting is a giveaway with 3 lucky winners! RoC Skincare was very generous to send me 3 more jars of RoC Retinol Correxion MAX Daily Hydration Creme, a product …
You know I’m all about my empties. I am always so happy to use stuff up and make room for the new things. I am trying to get better at tossing/recycling old makeup and skincare that I know I am not going to ever finish. I have a hard time tossing unfinished things, but I …
Best wishes for a happy healthy 2019! This New Year’s Eve was a quiet one. Jeff and I got dressed up and stayed home and ate smoked salmon, lobsters and my leftover birthday cake that I froze and we drank champagne. It was fun especially since it was raining tonight and not great for celebrating …
