We were only in Asheville for less than two days. And we were there to celebrate Jeff’s granddaughter’s 2nd birthday. So there wasn’t much time for shopping. (P.S. She loved the dinosaur dress I bought her so much, she instantly put it on over her clothes and wore it for the rest of the evening!)… Continue reading What I Bought in Asheville NC
Welcome Spring Beauty Spotlight Team
I just got back from my southern travels yesterday. It was spring in North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington DC. In Massachusetts, it was 32 degrees. I heard I missed the warm weather in MA, but it sure was hot in Asheville where it was 80! The cherry blossoms in DC were lovely with peak… Continue reading Welcome Spring Beauty Spotlight Team

I am so sorry because the City Lips two for one sale is almost over. It happened while I was on vacation, and I thought it went from 3/23-3/26. Silly me! If you are still up and thinking of ordering, check it out the City Lips Sale here. Again, a million apologies!!
Yet Another Trip
Gee, we just got back from LA, and we’re heading off again! Frankly, we hadn’t planned it this way, but this is how it worked out. We had planned this trip a while ago. We’re going to celebrate the 2nd birthday of Jeff’s granddaughter! And after that, we’re going to drive to Washington DC to… Continue reading Yet Another Trip
Ipsy/Boxycharm March ’24 Box
OK, so I never pulled the plug on Ipsy. I am still an every other month subscriber. I couldn’t give up those pricey skincare items that still come my way either in my semi-monthly box or as a deeply discounted “add-on”. I haven’t reviewed any of my boxes in the longest time. Not sure why.… Continue reading Ipsy/Boxycharm March ’24 Box
Sun Bum Face Mist SPF 45
It’s not even spring quite yet, but I am already thinking about preparing for the beach. Or for spending more time outdoors. At CVS recently, I was looking for something I could buy with the $10 off coupon I got last time I shopped there. The front and center display of Sun Bum products caught… Continue reading Sun Bum Face Mist SPF 45
Spring Ahead Beauty Spotlight Team
So many people hate changing the clocks, but for Daylight Savings Time I’m there for it! Big time. I remember those weeks of it getting dark at 4pm.

Finally, My Lipstick from Lisa Eldridge from Selfridge’s in London!
Back in October during my trip to London with Jeff, one of the things on my to do-list was to buy a lipstick from Lisa Eldridge, famed makeup artist to the stars as well as the new Creative Director at Lancome. I’m not sure how she pulls off the Lancome gig while heading her own… Continue reading Finally, My Lipstick from Lisa Eldridge from Selfridge’s in London!
DefenAge 360-Rejuvenation Nail Root System
Winter is usually a tough time for my nails. They tend to grow very slowly during the cold weather, and they look and actually are brittle, more fragile and definitely thinner. Their winter condition has definitely gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. Ugh. So often, I will accidentally hit my hand on something, and one… Continue reading DefenAge 360-Rejuvenation Nail Root System

Welcome March ’24 Beauty Spotlight Team
We’re ready for a rainy weekend to welcome March. In the Boston area, it either snows or rains for most of this month.

Jeff and I are going to a global music… Continue reading Welcome March ’24 Beauty Spotlight Team

Remember Me? I’m Back for Now!
Jeff and I are back from Los Angeles. We had a stressful trip, but I think we managed to help Jeff’s sister get home from the hospital and re-settled in her second floor apartment after surgery and hospitalization for a couple of weeks. She is using a walker to get around after her spine surgery,… Continue reading Remember Me? I’m Back for Now!

If you are celebrating Valentine’s Day with whoever is important to you or on your own, I wish you a happy heart day! Valentine’s Day can be a strange celebration since not everyone feels included.

New Colorful Makeup Products from 2 Brands I Like
Two makeup brands that I like have just launched some new shades. I haven’t tried these particular shades yet, but since II have tried other shades in their mascara and gel liner collections, I have a sneaking suspicion the new addition will be good ones to try for a little change of pace. Thrive Causemetics… Continue reading New Colorful Makeup Products from 2 Brands I Like
