I wanted to get this week’s edition of the Beauty Spotlight Team all set to go for today because I know everyone has stuff to do on New Year’s Eve day. But I had a rather distressing thing happen on Friday night that kind of slowed me down. Got time for a quick story? My …
It’s frickin’ freezing here! This afternoon, it was 8 degrees. The temperature warning light for my tires came on in my car, and after I had air put in all my tires, the light went back on again on the way home. It’s that cold. The temperature is going down to minus 3 tonight, and …
Are you ready for New Year’s Eve? This year, Jeff and I may be staying home. But even if we do, I like to look a little fancy. I’ll be reaching for the limited edition BECCA Après Ski Glow Eye Lights Palette. Yesterday, I wrote about being inspired to buy IUNIK Vitamin Hyaluronic Acid Vitalizing …
January is when I often concentrate on skincare products. It just seems to fit in with New Year Resolutions to take better care of ourselves. But even though January is just next week, I felt like talking about a skincare product I’ve been meaning to write about for weeks now. I often get fantastic skincare …
Another Christmas has come and gone. Christmas started out in the early morning with rain that turned to 3 inches of snow, and then around noon the sun came out. Everything looked so pretty, like a postcard of New England in the winter. The plows came out in the nick of time, and we were …
I know this is a busy weekend with last minute gift and grocery shopping, house cleaning and hopefully lots of parties. But if you have time to take a break for a few minutes, take a look at this week’s posts from the Beauty Spotlight Team. Lots of makeup makeup makeup and tips on getting …
When I was waiting for a prescription at CVS a couple of weeks ago, I killed time by doing a once around the store. I ran into a new display sticking out into one of the aisles in the crowded little CVS near me. The display was for RK from KISS, the company best known …
Yesterday we looked at my Ipsy Snow Globe bag for December, and today let’s look at Sephora Play’s Glam Straight bag. For the holiday and to fit with the Glam Straight concept, the drawstring bag is a pale peach satin with art deco style font and design. What’s inside you ask? Here are the travel …
I had great expectations for the December Ipsy bag. With the exception of maybe the last month, I had a good year of Ipsy bags and goodies. I thought December would be la pièce de la résistance of Ipsy bags for 2017. I do love the festive bling-y silver faux leather makeup bag (the silver …
About a year and a half or so ago, I finally made the switch to a natural, non-commercial deodorant. I’ve been using LAVANILA Natural Deodorant, and I generally like it. For most occasions, it’s just fine. And if I shower daily (which I try to do!), it’s fine. But if it’s a particularly hot and …

I love mini-things. I love that they don’t take up too much room, and that they don’t last forever. So when I heard the excitement about Huda Beauty Obsessions shadow palettes, I needed to try one. Presently, there are 4 Obsessions palettes – Warm Brown, Mauve, Electric, and the one I chose, Smokey. In fact, …
December 16 is forever associated in my mind with Beethoven’s birthday. I’m probably one of the few who think of it. But there it is. If you have time, listen to the 7th Symphony, or if you have less time, listen to a few of the Bagatelles and you’ll hear one of the earliest examples …
Zoya Professional Lacquer is probably my favorite or at least my most purchased brand of nail polish. I love their cream polishes, and I think they have the most fabulous collection of nudes and neutrals. On Black Friday weekend, Zoya had a big sale with 50% off and free shipping. You know how much I …
I love masks of all kinds, and I try to use them frequently. Today, I want to introduce you to four masks – two for the face and two for eyes – that I think you need to know about. I think they’d make good gifts or stocking stuffers for the skincare lovers on your …
