When we went to London in October, we took the tube to Camden Market on a warm, sunny day. Getting off at the Camden Town station and hitting the main street, I thought I had been returned to the 1960s-70s because the shops looked like Hippie Haven with brightly colored storefronts selling inexpensive merchandise and …
In my last Ipsy bag, I got a tube of Il Makiage Lip Service Hi-Shine Kuo Glaze in shade PDA. I don’t remember if I chose this or if Ipsy/Boxycharm chose it for me, but regardless, it was a good pick. The Il Makiage lipgloss comes in a very thick, sturdy and rather heavy plastic …
We were only in Asheville for less than two days. And we were there to celebrate Jeff’s granddaughter’s 2nd birthday. So there wasn’t much time for shopping. (P.S. She loved the dinosaur dress I bought her so much, she instantly put it on over her clothes and wore it for the rest of the evening!) …
I just got back from my southern travels yesterday. It was spring in North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington DC. In Massachusetts, it was 32 degrees. I heard I missed the warm weather in MA, but it sure was hot in Asheville where it was 80! The cherry blossoms in DC were lovely with peak …
I am so sorry because the City Lips two for one sale is almost over. It happened while I was on vacation, and I thought it went from 3/23-3/26. Silly me! If you are still up and thinking of ordering, check it out the City Lips Sale here. Again, a million apologies!!
Gee, we just got back from LA, and we’re heading off again! Frankly, we hadn’t planned it this way, but this is how it worked out. We had planned this trip a while ago. We’re going to celebrate the 2nd birthday of Jeff’s granddaughter! And after that, we’re going to drive to Washington DC to …
OK, so I never pulled the plug on Ipsy. I am still an every other month subscriber. I couldn’t give up those pricey skincare items that still come my way either in my semi-monthly box or as a deeply discounted “add-on”. I haven’t reviewed any of my boxes in the longest time. Not sure why. …
It’s not even spring quite yet, but I am already thinking about preparing for the beach. Or for spending more time outdoors. At CVS recently, I was looking for something I could buy with the $10 off coupon I got last time I shopped there. The front and center display of Sun Bum products caught …
So many people hate changing the clocks, but for Daylight Savings Time I’m there for it! Big time. I remember those weeks of it getting dark at 4pm. Seven o’clock sunset on Sunday is just the antidote. I know we all lose an hour, but please check out this week’s Beauty Spotlight Team when you …
Back in October during my trip to London with Jeff, one of the things on my to do-list was to buy a lipstick from Lisa Eldridge, famed makeup artist to the stars as well as the new Creative Director at Lancome. I’m not sure how she pulls off the Lancome gig while heading her own …
Winter is usually a tough time for my nails. They tend to grow very slowly during the cold weather, and they look and actually are brittle, more fragile and definitely thinner. Their winter condition has definitely gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. Ugh. So often, I will accidentally hit my hand on something, and one …
It seemed to me like January lasted forever, but February was over in a flash even with Leap Day today! So we’re at the end of the month already, and I spent more than a week away from home. How did I do using up beauty products in February? Project Pan February ’24 Bath & …
We’re ready for a rainy weekend to welcome March. In the Boston area, it either snows or rains for most of this month. But we’re in meteorological spring as of yesterday, and actual spring is less than 3 weeks away, so it can’t be all bad. Jeff and I are going to a global music …
