I want to let you know that I just discovered a potentially useful website called www.scamadviser.com. I checked the website Janeswear.com that I ordered the cashmere sweaters from, and it had been given a 20% Trustscore rating, a “very low” rating. Gee, I wish I had known about this website before I ordered! But now …
A Sucker Is Born Every Minute or I Must Resist the Ads on FB for Chinese Knockoffs
What in heaven’s name is wrong with me? I don’t seem to have good judgement at all. I succumb to the siren’s song of ads from unknown retailers that I see on Facebook all the time. But maybe, just maybe, I’ve finally learned my lesson. Cheap Sandals That Didn’t Fit and Smelled Bad In August, …
Happy New Year!!
Wishing you health, happiness, accomplishment, peace, and good vibes for 2020! Hope you had a fun holiday season! For me, it was a combination of getting together with friends and enjoying being together. Now we just have to make it through winter in New England, lol. But I can tell that the days are getting …
City Beauty Line-Smoothing HydroMask
I’m not usually a fan of sheet masks. They’re often messy and difficult to apply. Most of the time, I prefer a mask in a jar or tube. So I didn’t have high expectations when I decided to try City Beauty Line-Smoothing HydroMask. I received this mask a while back, and I have been dragging …
All the Best on Thanksgiving and Quick Appetizer Recipe
Everyone is so busy on Thanksgiving day (and probably the day before too, but anyway), so I want to wish you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving now. Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday IMHO: no gifts and lots of food! This year, I am going to my cousin’s house about 30 miles away. I was …
Skincare Products I’m Loving This Fall
I don’t think I’ve done a current favorites post in ages, so why not now? As always, there are many terrific beauty products out there, and favorites are very personal, but what the heck! I started out thinking I was going to do a general favorites post, but it was getting too long, so here …
Merry Christmas Eve!
My guess is no one is reading blogs on Christmas day (and probably on Christmas Eve for that matter). I’d like to take a moment to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas, if this is the holiday that you celebrate, now rather than on Tuesday when you’re enjoying time with friends and family. …
Small Gifts Under $30 for Holidays 2018

In addition to beauty products, I will mention some other cool stuff that I’ve come across. Cambridge Rainbow Color Titanium Plated Stainless Steel Flatware I’m in …
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sometimes in the day to day business of living, it’s easy to forget all the things I should be thankful for. How lovely that we have this day to reflect on the things, big and small, that we should be grateful for! I am thankful for all of you who read my blogposts, take the …
Back from Savannah!
Just a quick hello and a few vacation pix! I’m back from our trip to Savannah and Tybee Island to celebrate Jeff’s birthday.

LovelySkin.com: Great Retailer for Mother’s Day or Any Day!
I discovered LovelySkin.com a couple of years ago while searching for the best price on a skincare product that I wanted to buy. My order was filled quickly, there’s free shipping always, I got a 20% off discount that they send with each purchase, and I was completely satisfied with my shopping experience. In addition, …
I’m Back with Tulip Pix from Holland!
Well, our trip trip to Amsterdam and Holland is sadly over, but we have lots of great memories and photos. I know this is a beauty blog and not a travel blog, but – if you’re interested – I’d like to share some of the highlights from our Dutch trip over the next couple of …
No Power Again and I’m Sick of Winter
Just a quick hello. My neighborhood lost power again (3rd time since January 1), and we may not get the power back till Saturday. I’m disgusted. Although the lines are underground in my development, the ancient lines on the main road keep disconnecting either because of heavy snow, strong winds or tree branches coming down. …
