Beauty Spotlight Team Black Friday 2017
Happy day after Black Friday! Did anyone do any shopping? I picked up a trio of polishes and a topcoat at the Zoya sale. I almost bought something online at MAC, but the shipping for that one little item would have cost more than what I saved so I bailed. How about you? Any great …

Happy weekend! Quiet weekend here. Jeff is home from the hospital after his hip replacement, and he seems to be doing pretty well. But on crutches, not being able to bend and still very tired, we’ll be taking a break for a while from our usual busy schedule. Hopefully, Jeff will try to walk down …
Fashion Flash Winding Down October 2017 Edition
It’s been a hectic October, but I am sad to see it wind down. As much as I like Thanksgiving, I hate to see the leaves fall from the trees, I hate turning back the clock, and I dislike the grey and brown of November. Oh well, that’s part of living in a part of …
Beauty Spotlight Team 21 October 2017

Â As a result, the foliage seems to be behind by a week or two, and the colors, especially the sugar maples that are typically very bright, are muted. The weather has been …

It’s been a hectic week, but Jeff and I made it to Portland, Maine for the weekend. I have’t been to Portland since I was a teen, and boy, has it changed! We got here just before sunset so we haven’t had a chance to see much in the dark. In fact, I wish I …
Beauty Spotlight Team Columbus and Canada Day Weekend 2017
What are you up to this weekend? For some, it’s a three day weekend, and for others not. For me, it is. This afternoon, Jeff and I are making our annual trip to the Topsfield Fair, the oldest county fair in the nation. We do the exact same thing every year, but we enjoy it. …
