Usually I list the topics that are covered, but because I’m going to be out and about on Monday, I am writing this intro to the Mid-May Fashion Flash on Sunday night before I’ve actually seen it. But …

Right now, my bathroom and I smell like a tropical paradise! Such an excellent antidote to the continually dreary and cold weather we’re having in MA this spring.

I love the name of this new eye cream from PRAI: PRAImordial Eye Creme. So witty! A play on the word primordial, of course. Primordial usually refers to something that’s the first, the earliest or elementary, but in this case, it can refer to collagen, one of the elemental and most important building blocks of …
In January and then in March, I wrote about how much I love the limited edition Holiday 2018 fragrance from Molton Brown, Muddled Plum. As I wrote previously, the scent smelled like a spiced holiday punch. I loved it so much that I tracked down a full size bottle of the shower gel, and I’m …
