Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
As a kid, I was in love with Davy Crockett because of the TV show on Disney on Sunday nights. I really wanted a coon-skinned hat, but my mother got me a Davy Crockett patch that she sewed on my jacket instead. Not quite the same as the hat, but better than nothing. In late August, …
Recently, I was asked to join a group of elite beauty bloggers, Beauty Spotlight Team. I’ve been blogging for about two and a half years now, so this was an important accomplishment for me! Every week, I’ll share links to their favorite beauty blogposts from their blogs, and I’ll also feature the post of one member …
It’s almost summer, and no one is looking for more opportunities to bake! I know, I know. But I’ve been baking my own bread every week for about 5 years. I think I’ve bought a loaf of bread maybe 3 times since I started seriously baking bread. It takes no time, it’s much cheaper than …
I had another post I had planned to run today. But I noticed so many people seemed to be coming home from work early and leaving town today (Thursday) or getting ready to leave town tomorrow, that I changed my mind. Instead of a regular product review, I’ll just ramble for a minute or two …
BeautyKind, a new online beauty products retailer, recently launched. What makes them different is they give back 5% to either one of the charities that they support or to the charity of your choice. So you can shop for your favorite beauty products and support a great cause as well. Lovely! Plus they carry an …
May and June are two of the busiest gift giving months after December over the course of the year. There’s Mother’s Day coming up on Sunday, followed by graduations, and of course, wedding season. And unlike the traditional gift-giving winter holidays, these occasions are memorable and should be marked by a gift of something special. For me, …
This was the toughest winter since I moved to my small town, up here on the hill two miles from the ocean. It was freezing, windy, anything but comfortable. Over a four week period, we got more than 10 feet of snow. Every day, I’d bundle up, head outdoors and shovel for 2-3 hours. Good exercise, but it got …
Just for a change of pace, I thought I’d share an easy recipe for frico or Itallian parmesan crisps. A couple of weeks ago, I hosted my book club and that means making dinner for a group. One of our members is gluten-free, so I am often on the lookout for recipes without gluten or …
A year and a half ago, I wrote a blogpost to accompany an article in the New York Times on Linda Mason, makeup artist, artist and fabulist. She believes in the transformational power of makeup as well as makeup as art. She had a makeup studio and store in lower Manhattan that I had hoped …
March came in like lion and is going out like a lion around here. It’s snowing again, and it’s actually sticking. Hopefully, it’ll melt soon. Like later today. I need to read some beauty blogposts to take my mind off of this weather bleakness, lol. Here are this week’s beauty posts from the Beauty Blog …
The ladies of The Beauty Collaborative got together and decided to put together all of our favorite looks for Spring 2015. I think it will be very interesting to see all the different spring makeup looks that everyone has come up with. So after you read my post, please check out the other gals’ posts listed …
I have red hair, and I live in the Boston suburbs so some people think I’m Irish. They think my last name – Cohen – is Cohan. Though I’m not Irish, I join the crowd around here and play one on Saint Patrick’s Day. I break out my Celtic’s jacket whether they’re winning or not (this …
Yesterday, Jeff and I made our annual pilgrimage out to the Berkshires to South Face Farm, one of our favorite maple sugar shacks. We drive out there – a 3 hour drive via the scenic route – basically to have breakfast! South Face Farm is quite cute inside: green and white gingham tablecloths and curtains, …
Somehow I lost track of time. Even though I stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts for another heart-shaped donut, I didn’t realize that Valentine’s Day is this Saturday! This week, Jeff is in New York on business, but he asked to take me out to dinner on Valentine’s Day. Hopefully, we’re going to try …
For a change of pace, I thought I’d share a DIY or craft post. I love to crochet, and from time to time, I like to show you what I’ve been working on. Today, I’ve got one of the hats and infinity scarves that I crocheted earlier in the season. I’m pleased with how they …
