Healthy Hair with Vegamour Lovestruck Biotin Gummies
Two things about me: I love all things heart-shaped. I’m a true believer in biotin for healthy hair (and nails). So I jumped at the chance to try heart-shaped Vegamour Lovestruck Biotin Gummies for Hair! They are so darn cute! And they taste good too with a natural mild strawberry flavor. I just pop two …
New Guru Nanda Body & Room Sprays!
Summer colds are the worst. I’ve had this one for almost 10 days. Most of last week, I stayed at home because I had no energy at all. Plus 3 days of a sore throat and 3 days of a fever. Ugh. Now I’m on to the congestion phase with a stuffy and runny nose …

Healthier, Longer Lashes and No Stinging with RapidLash Eyelash Serum
Over the years, my lashes have suffered a bit. They are not short, but they’re not naturally long either. Jeff is the one with the good eyelashes, longish and black. In order to make my lashes longer and more plentiful, I use lash serum from time to time. But I have very, very sensitive eyes …
Lightening My Smile with Luster AM/PM Toothpaste
A couple of months ago, I needed to have a crown replaced at the dentist. I’m sure you know how expensive that can be. As a result, my plans for getting a professional teeth lightening has been put on hold. Two years ago, I reviewed a gel from Luster that gave me good results at …
Marvis Toothpaste: A Little Italian Luxury for Everyday and Giveaway!
Who gets excited about toothpaste? I do! I’m that old that I can remember when they first starting putting stripes in toothpaste. And I remember the tubes that stood up on the sink and looked kind of like a rocket ship. When I worked in advertising in New York, one of my accounts was for …
Good News and February Is Heart Health Month
My Good News First, a little tooting my own horn. I got an email and saw a post on Facebook yesterday morning from Feedspot, a blogging organization, letting me know that Never Say Die Beauty was chosen as #5 out of the Top 25 Beauty Bloggers Over 40. Yippee! They also gave me a cute …
Petite Heart Galentine’s Day Giveaway!
I had never heard of “Galentine’s Day” till a couple of years ago. I guess that’s because I don’t watch a lot of regular TV. Not surprisingly, I’ve never seen one episode of Parks and Reaction, even though I like Amy Poehler. But the idea of “ladies celebrating ladies” or friends celebrating friends on February …
NeoCell Ceramides Skin Hydrator Supplements
When I was offered NeoCell Ceramides Skin Hydrator to try out, I don’t think I knew that it was a bottle of supplements (though I have tried other supplements from NeoCell before). But when they arrived, I was happy to receive a bottle of skincare capsules rather than another skincare serum or cream to try. …
Country & Stream Honey UV Water Gel SPF 50+
I am always on the lookout for lightweight sunscreens especially for my face. Though I prefer physical sunscreens to the chemical ones, I do use both. On Renu’s blog, Cosmetopiadigest, I read her mini-review of Country & Stream Honey UV Water Gel SPF 32, and I was intrigued because she said it was lightweight. When …
Browsing and Shopping at New Cuddlefish in Manchester-by-the-Sea
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, …
Anti-aging Skincare for Your Body: DerMend Fragile Skin Moisturizing Formula
Several weeks ago, I received a body care product to try out from a new-to-me brand, DerMend Mature Skin Solutions. DerMend makes several anti-aging products to protect and help reverse the signs of aging skin on the body. I remember years ago visiting my Aunt Dorothea in a nursing home at the end of her …
Sundown Naturals Vitamin B12 Gummies via PINCHme
