Middle of the month means ipsy time, and I got my February Valentine’s #ipsyLove bag. The bag itself is pretty cute. It’s made out of a synthetic fabric that reminds me a little of old-fashioned oilcloth in that it’s somewhat stiff, holds its shape and won’t get dirty. It’s a raspberry pink to celebrate the …
The awards season is upon us, and the Oscars are Sunday night! I’ve always wanted to be invited to an Oscar party, and maybe this year I’ll luck out. Just in case, I will want to be ready, and that means having my skin look its best. Asian skincare is my favorite. Japanese and Korean …

This winter in the Boston area is one for the record books. We have gotten an unprecedented amount of snow in a very short time, well over five feet. And we’re expecting more snow on Thursday and another blizzard during the weekend. The trouble is there’s no room to put it. Even in a wooded area …
