Last night before going to bed, I decided to change my nail polish. I reached for a polish that I don’t remember buying, but I must have. I don’t think I have worn it previously, and it was unopened and still wrapped in the bubble wrap that it came in. From Olive and June‘s Long-lasting …
Bedroom Renovation Another busy day in my house. In the morning, the wallpaper hanger came to install my new wallpaper, Seaview Designs Crestview Watercolor Ocean Tide, a watercolor inspiration of the ocean. It took him about an hour to install the paper on the 8′ x 12′ accent wall. It looks great with the light …
Though I still haven’t posted my May empties because my website went down in early June, I thought I would do both June and July together while they are fresh in my mind. I’ll do May empties later on. Here’s what I’ve used up this summer. Bath & Body Celestial Body Moon Bath: My friend …
Winter is usually a tough time for my nails. They tend to grow very slowly during the cold weather, and they look and actually are brittle, more fragile and definitely thinner. Their winter condition has definitely gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. Ugh. So often, I will accidentally hit my hand on something, and one …
It seems to me like Christmas and Hanukkah just ended, but here we are just about at Galentine’s and Valentine’s Day! Jeff and I decided we will skip gifts this V-day (though chocolates and/or flowers are allowed). I don’t usually celebrate Galentine’s Day, but I know other people do. And Galentine’s Day is next Tuesday, …
I found the bag where I was storing my empties from last summer. Finally, I am eager to recycle them and start to clear out my bathroom closet, as well as to close out the year on Project Pan 2023! As usual, my two big categories were Skincare and Bath & Body. Because there are …
When it comes to nail polish, I’m into reds these days. The cabernet colored shade, “Obsessed”, was my Thanksgiving favorite. Now, I’m in love with “Lipstick Stain“, a new long wearing polish from Olive and June that I bought during the pre-Black Friday sale. Although Olive and June describes Lipstick Stain as a “deep berry”, …
November was a good month for using up beauty products for me. Though I still have two or three summer months to catch up on, at least I’m sort of on schedule!

As the holidays are coming up, think about red polish for your nails. I have found my red! Actually, Obsessed came in the Valentine’s Day Mini Set I bought last January. How did I let it sit around for almost a year before trying it? Although I often don’t wear very dark polish, this one …
The summer is going by way too fast, and of course, it’s pouring rain again today. Perfect day to update you on my June beauty empties. June was a decent month for me in terms of using up beauty products. I used up 10 empties and 4 samples. And I already have a few …
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 …
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 …
Today, I spent 5.5 hours working in my gardens. I seriously cut back two 21 year old azaleas that were blocking my dining room windows. I also decided they needed to be cut back because I had a tree company in the autumn cut down two very overgrown shrubs, and I realized that the azaleas …
How did I not remember that, at some point, I bought the lovely springtime polish from Olive and June, Yogurt Parfait? I finally removed the equally lovely mauve World Lit polish that lasted me for two weeks (!), and I spied Yogurt Parfait in my O&J stash. I looked at it like I had never …
