Usually I go to the Sephora store to pick up my birthday gift, and that often coincides with the Spring VIB event. But this year, everything is online. I got an email a couple of weeks ago that my favorite Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb was back in stock. Yay! I knew that the VIB sale …
These days, every day seems the same, so it’s easy to lose track. I had meant this post to go live on Earth Day, but I got my days mixed up, lol. At any rate, it’s relevant for any day! About two months ago, I received two boxes of fabulous and versatile Purifyou Reusable Mesh …
I’ve been coloring my hair various shades of red at Vidal Sassoon since 1987 when I first went red at the Sloane Street Sassoon in London. I take the train into Boston and then take the subway to Boylston Street every 4 weeks to get my hair colored. I’ve been going to my colorist, Laurel, …
I’ve been working so hard, not only in my yard and gardens, but in the gardens in the front entrance to our neighborhood. My talented friend, Sue, has agreed to take care of our gardens this season for very little money. Because the gardens badly need some updating, TLC, a new design, and new plant …
Our mid-April edition of Fashion Flash is being hosted by the lovely Stacie, the Makeup Obsessed Mom. Because the new edition hasn’t been published at the time that I am putting together this post, I don’t know what is being covered this week. I just know that it will be as jam-packed with interesting and …

In spite of the stay-at-home order, yesterday was a lovely day for my birthday. I spent a lot of the day talking on the phone, and my friend Kim and I took a chilly walk at Sagamore Hill/Donovan Reservation in Ipswich MA. The trail was occasionally muddy but the view from the top of the …
Graydon is a fabulous Canadian brand of cruelty-free, natural, plant-based, reasonably-priced skincare products that I’ve written about in the past. I love Graydon Face Glow Multi-Purpose Tinted Moisturizer (reviewed here). And I have a couple of other serums that I’ll be writing about in the future. I’ve been using Graydon Skin Stuff Face & Eye …
I must wash my hands about a billion times a day now. When I go to the mailbox and bring in the mail, I wash my hands afterwards. When I come back from the drug store, I wash my hands. If I go for a socially distanced walk with a friend, I wash my hands. …
The other night my friend Amy, who is currently living in Mexico, posted on Facebook the coolest thing that she discovered recently. It’s called Radio Garden. Via the Radio Garden website (to find it online, I googled Radio Garden and clicked on it; otherwise it is something like radio.garden/listen/name of radio station) or the get …
Hope you had a good holiday weekend in spite of the weirdness of it all! We had our belated seder on Zoom on Saturday night, and it was a lot of fun. Actually, it felt pretty darn similar to the in person seders we’ve had in the past except this had people sitting at a …
This is a weird holiday season for so many of us. What is usually a time filled with get togethers with family and friends may be spent solo or with one’s spouse. Nevertheless, I hope you have a peaceful and happy weekend with phone calls, FaceTime, and Zoom get togethers. We’re having a belated Zoom …
Today is a dreary, almost completely dark day with pouring rain. It’s tough to be stuck in the house. So I am cheering myself up with turquoise. I’m never sure what the difference between turquoise and aqua is, but I don’t think it matters. Zoya Lillian Probably because I haven’t been bothering to wear makeup, …
About a year ago, I tried a muscle pain reliever with CBD, and I had good results. In addition to the non-THC CBD in the formula, it contained the traditiona topical pain relief l ingredients found in Bengay: menthol and menthol derivatives. So I was never sure what was making the product work. Not long …
