Garden Pix & Beauty Blogazons Weekly Roundup 5/30/15
This week flew by, and actually, all of May did too. So happy that we’ve been finally experiencing some warm weather in Massachusetts. And my gardens are trying to make up for lost time. Here are a few pix of my front garden with the mid-spring shrubs and flowers in bloom: flox, azalea, Gibralter azalea …
MyChelle Natural Sun Protection Products
May is Skin Cancer Awareness month, and I wanted to get my review of three of MyChelle Dermaceutricals’ sunscreen options in before June. I went from being in the house almost full-time this winter to working in my yard and gardens for hours at a time as well as jogging outside instead of on the …
No-Makeup Makeup FOTD Featuring Urban Decay Eyes
The No-Makeup Makeup Look was one of the key looks on the fashion runways for 2015. Gee, I’ve been doing that look since I was in college. Guess I was ahead of my time. And I’ve done No-Makeup makeup looks before, but this time, I used the neutral palette that I think everyone thinks about …
New Shine Out Loud Collection from butterLONDON & Giveaway!
butterLONDON is one of my very favorite nail polish brands. Their prestige nail lacquer goes on so smoothly that two coats is more than enough. butterLONDON nail lacquers don’t contain formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, phthalates, or parabens. They dry quickly to a beautiful shine. I believe butterLONDON lacquers are cruelty-free and vegan. About a year or so ago, …
How To Make Your Own Rye Bread
It’s almost summer, and no one is looking for more opportunities to bake! I know, I know. But I’ve been baking my own bread every week for about 5 years. I think I’ve bought a loaf of bread maybe 3 times since I started seriously baking bread. It takes no time, it’s much cheaper than …
Beauty Blog Coalition Memorial Weekend 2015 Roundup
The Red Sox won! Even though we were sitting in the bleachers about as far away as we could possibly be and the overpriced food at the ballpark was terrible, it was still a fun time and I was thrilled to get to go. So it’s late now, and I’m just going to post the …
Saturday Memorial Weekend 2015 & Beauty Blogazons Weekly Roundup
I spent all day Friday cooking and working in my gardens. I made pesto with some basil that I had on hand, then I made rye bread, and finally blueberry muffins since the supermarket had a sale on blueberries. For dinner, I made eggplant stackers using the pesto I made last night. Some day, I’ll …
This and That Before Memorial Weekend
I had another post I had planned to run today. But I noticed so many people seemed to be coming home from work early and leaving town today (Thursday) or getting ready to leave town tomorrow, that I changed my mind. Instead of a regular product review, I’ll just ramble for a minute or two …
Gabriel Cosmetics Eyeshadow Trio, Smokey Matte Grey
This past Christmas season, I got a chance to try the Zuzu Luxe Holiday Palette from Gabriel Cosmetics (review and holiday look here). It’s such a great glam face and eye palette in a beautiful compact. I also like the regular Gabriel Cosmetics line, and so far, I’ve tried the Liquid Foundation (reviewed here) and …
Jetsetter ipsy Bag May 2015
It was the post office’s fault that my May 2015 ipsy bag got delivered first to a city 30 miles from where I live, next to my local post office (2 miles from my house) where it was sorted, then sent on to the Boston post office where it was sorted again and finally returned to the …
Color Club Nail Lacquer: 50 Shades of Love Hearts Topper
I’ve been collecting heart-shaped stuff for years and years. I’ve got quite a collection! I usually show you various pieces from my stash during Valentine’s season, but a serious heart-collector is acquiring hearts all year round. So when I saw Color Club’s “50 Shades of Love” topper on BeautyJudy’s blog a few weeks ago, I …

So you can shop for your favorite beauty products and support a great cause as well. Lovely! Plus they carry an …

Friday Finds: Nourish Organic Body Lotion
Going through one of my bags of beauty products that I’m waiting to use, I found a tube of Nourish Organic Body Lotion that I bought a few months ago in the clearance section of Ulta. I have tried several Nourish Organics products in sample sizes that I got in various ipsy bags and I …
