Happy weekend! The summer is absolutely flying by. I wish it would slow down a bit so we could savor these lovely days and warm nights. An old friend who lives in Cali is coming to visit me on Monday and Tuesday. He’s a drummer and he’s bringing a guitarist from Congo with him. They’re …
My nails are usually at their best in the summer, but this year, like the summer weather they were a little late. The fact that I was gardening like mad probably didn’t help. But all of a sudden, I noticed my nails were longer and they looked better. Time for nail polish! Earlier this week, …
Retinol is the ingredient that just about all dermatologists say is a “must have” ingredient in anti-aging skincare. Retinol boosts collagen to reduce fine lines, speeds up cell renewal to even out discolorations and smooth the skin, and it helps unclog pores. It’s a clinically proven powerhouse ingredient. But when it comes to eye cream, …
National Lipstick Day is just a few days away on July 29, and this year I didn’t want to miss it. Recently I was sent four shades of Burt’s Bees Liquid Lipsticks to try out. I freaked out when I opened the box, and not in a good way. As I’ve said a million times, …

Because I’ve been doing so much yard work, I haven’t been wearing nail polish. But I’ve taken a short break from gardening, so I decided to do an easy summer mani with some polishes I haven’t used in ages. In searching through my polish drawer and my apothecary jar, I noticed that a lot of …
Back in April, I picked up my Beauty Insider birthday gift from Sephora just before we left for Amsterdam. I know I wrote something about it, but I didn’t really get to use everything at that point. I rediscovered the box a few weeks ago, and I was reminded why I like Bite Beauty lipsticks …
I got a sneak peak at three new skincare products for Fall 2018 from one of my favorite natural, organic, cruelty-free, and affordable brands, MyChelle. Rather than overwhelm you with all three at once, I’ll tantalize you with the one that I’ve almost used up! MyChelle Bio-Firm Hydrogel Concentrate. When I first open the small …
How could it be that it’s Monday again already? Slow down, summer! But there it is, and that means that the latest edition of Fashion Flash is live. This week, the Flash, is hosted by Deb of No Nonsense Beauty Blog, and there’s lots of good stuff to find out about: how to take a …

But looking through this week’s post from the Beauty Spotlight Team, …
