I found two nail polishes that I am smitten with in less than two weeks. That never happens. But how nice that it happened now, at the end of summer, when my nails are at their healthiest. I introduced you to the beautiful coral, Parasol from Adesse New York that I received in my Ipsy …
Two Hours of Relaxation at Spalenza Day Spa/Salon
Because my doctor and I don’t seem to be able to get my blood pressure under control yet in spite of quadrupling the amount of medication I started taking about 6 weeks ago and because of some other things, I’ve been really stressed out this winter. For decades, I have been running just about every …

Fairy Princess Mani
I was inspired by a mani that I saw on Facebook to create my own version of what I’m calling my fairy princess mani. Maybe it’s more appropriate for an 8 year old, but I don’t care. I love it, and I think it’s so pretty, sparkly and girly. …
How-To: Easy Random Dot Mani
When it comes to doing my nails, I’m a real klutz. I’m a leftie, and I have a hard time doing anything with my right hand. So applying nail polish to my left hand is a real chore. But last night I thought I’d give another dot mani a try. …
First Day of Summer Mani-Pedi
Today’s the first day of summer, and it finally feels like it here in the northeast. I bought a Groupon months ago for a mani-pedi, and it expires next week. So I took some time off from report-writing today and went down to Studio Hair Design, 28 Cabot Street (though on the Rantoul side of …
