Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I put my crocheting away for months. I don’t know why, but I lost interest. Fortunately, I decided I needed to get back into it. Crocheting can be relaxing, and I can always use a stress-reducer. To be honest, I have more scarves, hats and shawls than anyone I know, lol. I used to gift …
I love the beach. It’s truly my happy place. I’ve posted lots of photos from my favorite, Good Harbor Beach. But even though I always wear sunscreen and sit under a small umbrella, I need more protection from the sun’s rays. I am covered with dark spots so I try to cover up as much …
Did you see the movie, Manchester-by-the-Sea? I did and though I think the movie was more about the people of Gloucester, it was a terrific movie and Manchester-by-the-Sea is a beautiful town. My aunt was visiting with me over the holiday weekend, and today she helped me work on a floral display that my friend, …
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. My friend, Laura S. (I actually have three friends who are Laura S. but hopefully she knows which one), has a wonderful sense of style. She was an artist and designer before her children were born, and now her home and her fashion sense reflect …
The other night Jeff brought me the new summer catalogue from Uno Alla Volta. I call it my Wish Book because I wish I owned just about every item in it. I found an amazing, colorful wind chime that I put on the “next time there’s a gift-giving occasion for me” list, lol. So imagine …

I’ve mentioned this about a million times: outside of makeup, my love is jewelry and accessories. A girl can never have enough IMHO. In that spirit, I’ve teamed up with some of the gals from Fashion Flash, and I’m kicking off a series of giveaways that we’re hosting over the next week or so. I’m giving away …
In spite of being a beauty blogger, jewelry is my jam. Especially earrings. I must have over 100 pairs of earrings easily. When it comes to receiving a gift, earrings are always welcome IMHO. I am an earring addict. I can probably tell you how I acquired or for what occasion I received every single pair …
Around Valentine’s Day, I showed you my new heart-shaped drop earrings from Uno Alla Volta, the online catalogue and retailer that sells unique artisan-made jewelry, accessories, fashion, and home decor (article here). I love my Joli’s purple drusy earrings, and they go perfectly with my new acquisition from Uno Alla Volta. Just in time for the spring …
Soufeel, a Korean competitor to Pandora, got me hooked on charm bracelets almost two years ago. Now I’m on my second bracelet. Their adorable, affordable, sterling silver charms are addicting! I’ve written about Soufeel charm bracelets twice before: Mother’s Day gift ideas and holiday gift ideas from Soufeel. Somehow, they recaptured me the other night, after quite a …
While makeup and fragrances always make great gifts for a beauty lover, I’d like to make a few more suggestions that are beautiful IMHO but outside the beauty realm. In fact, one of them is the gift I already received for Valentine’s Day from Jeff this year! Gifts from Museum Stores When it comes to …
Jeff is a big-time catalogue and online shopper. And over the years, he has given me very beautiful and memorable gifts for Valentine’s Day, my birthday and Haunkah. One of the catalogues I often find on his desk or dining room table is Uno Alla Volta, an online retailer that specializes in artisan crafted jewelry, fashion, …
I own about a zillion scarves. I’ve crocheted some of them, but many are various shapes and sizes of silk or silk and velvet scarves that I’ve bought or received as gifts over the years. When it comes it innovative ways to wear them and tie them, I’m clueless. I know the one where you …
Who couldn’t use a breath of springtime? Even though the snow really hasn’t start to fall around here yet, I know I’m ready for spring. And this year’s Pantone Color of 2017, Greenery #15-0343, a vibrant lemon-lime shade, definitely feels like a springtime shade to me, like the color of brand new baby leaves. Here’s …
Today my friend Sybille and her friend Emmy and I went to the new exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem MA. The show is brand new, it just opened a few days ago. If you are anywhere near Salem MA during the next couple of months, I strongly recommend this terrific show if …
