Today’s post will be short and sweet. Although I like my Michael Todd Soniclear Elite cleansing brush, the brush head was a little too harsh for my skin. As a result, I could only use it about once a week. Instead, I have been using a Foreo Luna. So I’ve been dancing a jig since …
Winter can do a number on our skin. Not only our faces, but our hands and feet. About a month ago, I received a beautiful wrapped package from a new-to-me Israeli company, Bloom Mineral Beauty. Bloom skincare products are made with minerals derived from pure salt from the Dead Sea. They combine that salt with …
Zoya Professional Lacquer is probably my favorite or at least my most purchased brand of nail polish. I love their cream polishes, and I think they have the most fabulous collection of nudes and neutrals. On Black Friday weekend, Zoya had a big sale with 50% off and free shipping. You know how much I …
Now that the holidays are here, we all want our hair to look its best. A great cut and, for some of us, fresh color give us a boost of confidence during party season. But taking care of our hair with a great shampoo, conditioner and oils on a regular basis are the backbone of …

I started holiday shopping at the end of August this year. When Jeff went to visit his older daughter in Atlanta, I drove up to Newburyport, a beautiful seaside city north of Boston, that’s a great place for boutique shopping. It was a lovely warm but not hot Sunday, and I thought I was so …
October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month Breast Cancer Awareness Month has personal significance for me and my family because my father died from breast cancer. He was one of the rare 2% of men who had breast cancer. It was especially difficult for him, a very masculine guy, to have what he considered to be …
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a fan of Jesse’s Girl, an affordable makeup brand that you can find online and at select RiteAid and Longs drugstores. I can’t stop singing the praises of their liquid lipstick Matte Finish Lip Color (reviewed here and here), the only one I can wear without drying out my already …
Are you familiar with AmorePacific? Although it is a luxury skincare brand, AmorePacific is also the number one brand of cosmetics in Korea! I wrote about it last year when I tested out their lovely Age Correcting Cushion Foundation SPF 25 (here). AmorePacific’s founder built the company based on the antioxidant benefits found in green tea …
I’ve written nostalgically in the past about both the Georgette Klinger salons and their line of fabulous skincare products. Whenever I posted about Georgette Klinger, I got comments from women who found my posts when they were searching for info about the Georgette Klinger salons and skincare products. Like me, they never found as good …
August means the Waterfront Festival in beautiful Gloucester MA, and my yearly meet up with Daphne, the esthetician and artisan behind Natural Island Botanicals natural skincare products.

This week, I must show you some more pretties from his eye makeup collection. Hyperreal Eye Color Palette: Bedroom Eyes Let’s start with eye shadow! The Hyperreal Eye Color Palette comes …
If you have super dry skin like me, you need to know about these affordable yet powerful body lotions from the drugstore from Curel, a brand recommended by dermatologists.
