But I have been trying to limit the number of times I go to the supermarket to every 2-3 weeks. I try to think about what I’ll need that will stay fresh. I …
As we spend more time at home, some of us (I’m talking about myself here) are spending more time on our computers and phones. And we are exposing ourselves to more blue light from our screens.

I’ve been working so hard, not only in my yard and gardens, but in the gardens in the front entrance to our neighborhood. My talented friend, Sue, has agreed to take care of our gardens this season for very little money. Because the gardens badly need some updating, TLC, a new design, and new plant …
Our mid-April edition of Fashion Flash is being hosted by the lovely Stacie, the Makeup Obsessed Mom. Because the new edition hasn’t been published at the time that I am putting together this post, I don’t know what is being covered this week.

In spite of the stay-at-home order, yesterday was a lovely day for my birthday. I spent a lot of the day talking on the phone, and my friend Kim and I took a chilly walk at Sagamore Hill/Donovan Reservation in Ipswich MA. The trail was occasionally muddy but the view from the top of the …
Graydon is a fabulous Canadian brand of cruelty-free, natural, plant-based, reasonably-priced skincare products that I’ve written about in the past.

I’ve been using Graydon Skin Stuff Face & Eye …
I must wash my hands about a billion times a day now. When I go to the mailbox and bring in the mail, I wash my hands afterwards. When I come back from the drug store, I wash my hands. If I go for a socially distanced walk with a friend, I wash my hands. …
