Although this was a good month, I think I’m most excited about the makeup bag itself because it is so different from any of the bags I’ve received from ipsy so far. It’s woven raffia, and it fits well with this month’s theme, Beautifully Bohemian. It does look like something from the ’60s. I also …

A couple of months ago, I shared the new modern matte lipsticks from Jordana. They have become my matte lipstick of choice. They are beautifully pigmented and not drying. They last on my lips for hours and leave behind a stain once they fade. Plus, they are incredibly affordable. Jordana has introduced 6 new shades …
This was the toughest winter since I moved to my small town, up here on the hill two miles from the ocean. It was freezing, windy, anything but comfortable. Over a four week period, we got more than 10 feet of snow. Every day, I’d bundle up, head outdoors and shovel for 2-3 hours. Good exercise, but it got …

My color-treated red hair is a big investment. I could take a nice vacation on what I spend to have it colored in a salon in Boston. So I try to take care of my bright red locks by keeping the color vibrant and the hair healthy. To Prevent Fading I avoid washing it too often. Every 4-5 …
