About a month ago, I noticed that Sigma had a sale going on with a lot of their makeup brushes on sale for up to 50% off. I had only tried one of their brushes, I think, and I’m not sure how I got it. Must have been through Ipsy. I know that a lot …
So fascinating. Just about one year ago today, we had a big storm with snow on October 30. The trees still had their leaves so the storm and the weight of the snow brought down a big limb on one of my Bradford pear trees. It landed on my lawn as you can see in …
One of my favorite pumpkin spice foods is Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Bread. I think it’s really more of a cake than a quick bread, but no matter. It’s delicious, and it tastes homemade. PR Samples, Affiliate Links At this time of year, I love pumpkin spice facial skincare products, so I was thrilled when …
PR Sample, Affiliate Links Vegamour, the hair health and growth brand, sent me a box chock full of stunningly packaged hair growth products at the end of the summer.

I need to watch the last game of the year for the Red Sox. The Astros got their number. But it was a much better year than predicted, so I will watch them go out with a smile. Flared pants of all sorts have a comfortable, laid-back feeling yet they can still look really good. …
The last time I was at my local Ulta store to exchange the broken FOREO LUNA Mini 3 for a working one, I decided to roam around since I hadn’t been in the store in months. It was fun to look at makeup and skincare products in person rather than just online. Affiliate Links I …
When I was packing last week for our trip to Maine, I stumbled upon two makeup products that I forgot all about. Not wearing makeup very often during the past year and a half, I forgot about a lot of stuff that I used to like. There’s probably more than just these two, but they’re …
I was so happy when the Rafflecopter widget picked the two winners of the Paula’s Choice giveaway: Diana D and Sharon R. Both have been long time followers of my blog, and neither has won any of my giveaways in a long time or ever. Fortunately, each got her preferred product. Nice when things turn …

I Bought This, Affiliate Links I still love Olive & June nail products. I am continuing to find that my mani lasts a week even if I don’t reapply topcoat every night. And if I don’t apply any more topcoat, I still get at least 5 days or even more depending on what I’m doing …
Today, a group of my high school friends who worked with me on our school literary magazine back in the day got together at the home of Pat and her husband who live just over the New Hampshire border. My friend Shelly who lives in Connecticut organized the event since she was in our hometown …
Years ago, my favorite eyeshadow that I used exclusively was gray Ultima II Cream Eyeshadow. Back then, Ultima was Revlon’s more upscale department store brand. I think I may have purchased the eyeshadow at B. Altman on Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. Sadly, both Ultima II and B. Altman no long exist. I remember that …
On Saturday, Jeff and I went for a bike ride on the Rail Trail. The foliage is just really getting going, but the maple trees are in all their glory. The Rail Trail has a lot of wet land area, and the colorful reflections in the ponds and water are absolutely stunning. It’s a real …
