In spring, I have roses on the brain. I’m trying to clean out the leaves that have gathered since last fall around my rose plants so I can fertilize them. This past weekend, Jeff planted my new rose plants for me. Although I don’t always have the best luck with roses, I still adore them. …

Last week, I went to the mall to pick up my birthday gifts from Ulta and Sephora. I like the fact that you get a choice among a few options these days instead of the one gift, take it or leave it! I don’t know if Ulta still changes up the options with each quarter, …
I’ve been on the hunt for what I thought was a clear, mineral sunscreen from Dr. Brandt. I wanted to try it before I bought it. I tried Ulta, Macy’s, Nordstrom, and Sephora.

Jeff’s older daughter sent me an early birthday gift last weekend. It’s the perfect gift for me, and I thought you might like to hear about it as a possible gift idea or for yourself! Bonne Maman is the brand known for French jam, jellies, marmalade and other spreads as well as for its well-known …
Actually, I couldn’t think of another name for this weekend’s BST other than Income Tax Day, lol, so hopefully this will do. Fortunately for me this year, two of my very good friends are taking me out to celebrate on Monday, and Jeff is taking me out on Tuesday night. I am very lucky! <3 …
