Over the weekend, I made a recipe that required two egg yolks. I can’t remember what it was, but it left me with two egg whites. Sunday was a dreary, chilly, rainy day, so I decided to make individual pavlovas with the two egg whites. I also had a pint of blueberries that were somewhat …
Walasa Luna Vintage Clutch
In September, yet another enticing Facebook ad called out to me. I was quite taken by a red handbag in a vintage style from the 1940s-50s. And of course, it was on sale. The red handbag was from Walasa, a brand that was new to me. Frame and Clasp Closure The old-school look with a …

Intuition Soaps: “Under the Sea” for Summer
You probably already know that I’m a big fan of bar soaps, especially artisan-made, natural bar soaps. Since my old favorite, Daphne from Nature Island Botanicals, appears to have retired, I was on the hunt for a new soap at the Waterfront Festival in Gloucester this past August. I discovered Intuition Soaps, a new brand …
Thrive Causemetics Sheer Strength Hydrating Lip Tint
The other day, I noticed that a childhood friend changed her Facebook cover picture. It’s been several years since I’ve seen her, but she looks terrific. In her photo, she was dressed for cross-country skiing, and I was a little surprised that she was wearing bright red lipstick. She looks great in red lipstick, but …
Heat Holders Socks Keep My Feet Warm At Night!

Inspired by Dublin, Guinness Brown Bread Recipe
We had an amazing time in London and Dublin. To be honest, writing about it all in one post is overwhelming because we did so much. Every day, we covered a lot of territory, walking 4.5-6.7 miles exploring the cities. So, instead of one post, I’ll do a few. Guinness Brewery Tour One of the …
Mid-October ’23 Beauty Spotlight Team
I’m trying to get back into the swing of things, but it’s a slower process than I expected. Also, the P.A. who I met with after my ultrasound told me to start jogging again, so I have and that takes time. But she was right, I am feeling better now that I’m jogging routinely. Whatever …

Bombay Hair Flat Iron
I’m back! We had a fabulous time in London and Dublin. When I have more time, I will post highlights from our trip. Before we left for London, I was thinking about bringing a couple of haircare tools with me. I did pack my dual voltage adorable (it has strawberries on it!) travel hair dryer …
