I saw the cutest thing on my Facebook feed that cost almost nothing so I had to go for it. Blending sponge holders with little bird feet that help the sponges dry faster. Aren’t these adorable? I had never heard of Rosegal, an inexpensive online retailer from China. For about $10 delivered, I bought: two …
Last month, I wrote about my experiences with a new to me shampoo and conditioner duo from White Sands (review here). I really liked the results as well as the easy-to-use pump bottles. As I get to the end of two squeeze bottles from another brand, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate White …

It’s the weekend again! Our summer weather disappeared during the week, but it’s supposed to reach 60 on Sunday, and that sounds good to me. Jeff and a friend of ours are going to drive to Providence RI this evening to go to a comedy club to hear a comedian we like a lot. I’m …
Saturday April 22 is Earth Day, and it’s more important than ever to do things to help protect the environment and to advance science to that end. I actually remember the first Earth Day oh so long ago. It was a very big deal because so little was being done at that time to protect …
Today I went into Boston to get my hair colored and cut, or so I thought. It turns out I didn’t have an appointment to have my hair cut after all. I am sure I asked the receptionist a month ago to make me an appointment with both my colorist and my stylist. Oh well, …
I always get excited about getting the birthday gifts from Sephora and Ulta. My birthday was on Easter Sunday this year, but I made my visit to Sephora and Ulta more than a week in advance. In fact, Ulta sent me home empty-handed! They said I had to wait to get the coupon before I …

I thought I had found my HG liquid foundation quite a while ago. I really love Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation. It’s lightweight, it covers well, and Sand is almost a perfect match for my skintone. But my head has been turned by another liquid foundation, MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Foundation. A few …
