I’ve been waiting for the July 4th sales to pick up a couple of things I need or want. And my patience seems to be paying off in spite of the fact that there seem to be fewer sales than usual. One of the Friends & Family sales that I took advantage of is Tatcha. …
Korres, a clean skincare brand from plant-based ingredients from Greece, is rapidly becoming one of my favorite skincare brands. Recently, I wrote about my very positive experiences with Korres Velvet Skin Drink (review here) with Santorini Grape (Resveratrol). It is the most lightweight yet hydrating oil I have ever used! So when I had the …
I’ve been reading lots of articles about the new trend in manis called “Milk” or milky manis. A milky mani is supposed to look like milk. In some articles, the key identifier is a translucent polish. In others, the polish can range from translucent to opaque. This return to mani simplicity can encompass different styles …

I guess you could say I was asleep at the wheel. But I totally forgot that City Beauty’s buy one, get one free sale for their fabulous Beyond Mascara. Beyond Mascara adds length and volume to lashes while conditioning them to help them grow longer and stronger. In fact, check out my review and results …
Tonight, Jeff and I are going to the Rockport Chamber Music Festival at the stunning Shalin Liu Concert Hall in Rockport MA. Below is the view out the window of a piano recital we went to in early May. I’ve been going to concerts at the Chamber Music Festival for more than 20 years. Tonight’s …
Yesterday, I took the train to Boston to go to Sassoon to get my hair recolored. Since I got to town (what people call the city in Boston) an hour early and it was a sunny day, I walked the two miles to the salon. As I cut through Boston Common, I smelled the divine …
Cool Nights Summer Edition I didn’t realize that Soma added so many new patterns or designs to their lineup of Cool Nights sleepshirts. They always seem to have new additions seasonally to their collection. And that’s not all, they also have pajamas in a variety of styles. In addition to the traditional sleepshirts, …
Months ago, I was sent a bottle of Eclat Rose Water Toner to try out. Before I had a chance to use it, I ended up in the hospital which led to several months of being sick, having surgery, and generally feeling under the weather. I knew I put the Eclat Rose Water somewhere, but …
It’s easy to go through periods with staple products and then all of a sudden discover something new that you just love. I know that there are some brands/products that I stick with for ages, and other brands/products that come along and make me switch. Here are 5 brands/products that I’m loving right now: I …
Tonight (Friday), Jeff and I went to the opening cocktail party at my beach club. The crowd was definitely the biggest since before COVID. Actually, it may have been the first opening party since before 2020! It was nice to see everyone. And the food from the new caterer was fabulous. Because it’s supposed to …
Because I’ve been working so hard in my garden, it just didn’t make sense to paint my nails. The bluestone and marble chips that I was putting onto my walkway did a number on my nails. I ended up having to file them down, but they sure do look better than they did. I love …
I received a new box of skincare goodies from Paula’s Choice just in time for warmer outdoor weather. Inside the box was a beige baseball cap with Team SPF (a $25 Paula’s Choice value) on the side. The best parts about the baseball cap (that I can always use) is that it: Inside the box …
Since I spent the entire day mowing the lawn and working in my garden (it’s 8pm now), I thought I would write about all my gardening projects. Last summer, I spent most of the time replanting grass primarily in my backyard. I had a yard and a half of loam delivered to my driveway, and …
For months, I gave up using spray toners because the spray hurt my post-surgical jaw. I continued to use my Innisfree Green Tea Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Toner that I still love.
