Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
It certainly isn’t winter yet, and later this week, the temperatures are supposed to rise into the high 60s and 70s. In fact, I think Saturday is supposed to be 76 degrees! Yay. But I just can’t get used to the cool fall weather we’ve been experiencing since the end of September. I’ve turned on …
We had an amazing time in London and Dublin. To be honest, writing about it all in one post is overwhelming because we did so much. Every day, we covered a lot of territory, walking 4.5-6.7 miles exploring the cities. So, instead of one post, I’ll do a few. Guinness Brewery Tour One of the …
I’m trying to get back into the swing of things, but it’s a slower process than I expected. Also, the P.A. who I met with after my ultrasound told me to start jogging again, so I have and that takes time. But she was right, I am feeling better now that I’m jogging routinely. Whatever …
As you start to put together your list for the upcoming holidays, I want to let you know about the new curved SoapStandles for curved soap. Plus I want to remind you about the traditional SoapStandles for flat bar soaps (originally reviewed here). Over the past couple of years, Jeff who always had oily skin …
I’m back! We had a fabulous time in London and Dublin. When I have more time, I will post highlights from our trip. Before we left for London, I was thinking about bringing a couple of haircare tools with me. I did pack my dual voltage adorable (it has strawberries on it!) travel hair dryer …
Although I have been preparing for this trip to Great Britain for a long time, I am so unready! Hopefully, by tomorrow afternoon, I’ll have my “stuff” together!! I am trying to pack for cool/cold rainy weather (boo!), but I hope I’ll be pleasantly surprised when we arrive. In years gone by, October is often …
About 5 years ago, I was invited to an event at a med spa in Newburyport MA that was hosting the organic luxury makeup brand, Kjaer Weis, and their founder. I was sent home with a few samples that I truly enjoyed trying out. Since then, I have kept an eye on Kjaer Weis. They …
It’s been eons since I used anything from Too Faced. After the founder sold the company and TF started coming out with a new scented eye palette almost every month, I lost interest. Also, the brand became really too juvenile for even this heart lover. But in my last Ipsy/Boxycharm box, I discovered a lipstick …
Last week, I introduced you to Bigger Than Beauty, the sister brand to Thrive Causemetics. In fact, I told you how much I love their total eye area gel-cream, Defying Gravity (reviewed here). Today, I have two lip treatments from BTB to tell you about. Both are: Bigger Than Beauty Lip Treatments Pout Hero Liquid …
The days are certainly getting shorter. The sun sets around 6:30 and rises at about the same time. Right, equal day and night. But autumn is a beautiful season especially in areas where the leaves change color. A few of the maple trees have turned, though not a lot. I heard that the leaves will …
City Lips is launching a new Limited Edition shade of their iconic City Lips Lipgloss just in time for autumn. “Sparkling Cider”, a spicy red-orange translucent lipgloss, has pink shimmer in the light of day. I love the new shade that reminds me of autumn leaves. (Thankfully, our leaves haven’t started changing quite yet.) And …
Bigger Than Beauty is a new sister brand that was created by the people at Thrive Causemetics to accompany Thrive makeup.That immediately got my attention since I’m a fan of Thrive Mascara and Brow Gel, two results-oriented makeup products. Like Thrive, Bigger Than Beauty is also a results-oriented skincare collection. In fact, BTB talks about …
What initially attracted me to new-to-me J’s Natural Beauty skincare products is that it is a clean beauty brand made with natural and organic ingredients. It is vegan, plant based, non-toxic, and of course, cruelty-free. While I don’t only use plant based skincare products, if I have the choice, I prefer to. God’s Gift Day …
I had waist length hair till I was about 25. In fact, it was my trademark for a long time. I had a lot of hair. Stuffing it into a shower cap on those days when I didn’t want to wash it in the shower was tough. Try This An That Extra-Large Shower Cap Recently, …
As you may know, this is one of our big Jewish holidays, Rosh Hashana, the start of the new year. It’s a busy time. Even though it is just Jeff and me this year because my cousin who always hosts a big dinner is away, it’s even busier for me. I’m making everything for our …
