Summer flew by. So sad to see it go. But it was a fun, busy summer for me. No complaints at all. In fact, I was so busy that I didn’t get a chance to write an empties post at the end of July. Instead I’m doing a mega empties post for July and August. …
In 2016, Jeff gave me a bottle of Molton Brown Ylang Ylang Body Wash (mentioned in my 2016 Bath & Body Favorites) after I tried a travel size that came in my Barney’s GWP bag. The full size bottle lasted me a year, and the scent was divine. Molton Brown London makes about a million …
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 …
I found two nail polishes that I am smitten with in less than two weeks. That never happens. But how nice that it happened now, at the end of summer, when my nails are at their healthiest. I introduced you to the beautiful coral, Parasol from Adesse New York that I received in my Ipsy …
This was such a busy weekend, that I didn’t get a chance to put up a regular post today. It was a beach weekend, and we managed to squeeze in a movie too. Sunday was Jeff’s birthday, and we went into Boston to the Capital Grille for Jeff’s favorite, a steak dinner. Definitely a fun …
The weather has been so perfect these last few days. High 70s to 80, low humidity, filtered sunshine, warm ocean temps (warm for here, lol). We’re really trying to pack in as much outdoor time as possible. Also, Jeff’s birthday is this weekend, so there’s a lot on tap. But I still will squeeze in …
First things first. Congratulations to the three winners of the PCA Skin Summertime Essentials kit giveaway: Marilyn N, Mary W and Beverly J! Woohoo! Hopefully, I will hear from them over the next 2 days so I can send out there prizes next week for those end of summer vacations or weekends away. Thank you …
The summer is sadly flying by, and I just received my August Ipsy bag. The theme is “Selfie with No Filter”. Not sure I can connect the theme to the goodies inside, but I got some things I love. I would say that Ipsy has been doing a better job this past year or so …
Today is a rather gloomy, drab day especially after the wonderful sunshine and cooler temperatures of yesterday. The perfect day to show you the colorful and cute crossbody that I bought during our trip to Savannah. Last year, I noticed several colorful leather purses at the museum shop at the Museum of Fine Arts in …
I love vintage design, especially things from the 1940s and 50s. That’s when my mom was young, so maybe that’s why? A few years ago, I discovered the beauty tools and accessories from The Vintage Cosmetic Company, and since then, I have quite a collection of items. I’ve reviewed several of them on the blog …
Although today feels like the beginning of autumn, it has been hot and very humid for much of this summer. I sit under an umbrella and wear a hat for much of the time that I’m at the beach, but it is still hot. Several weeks ago, I was sent a product that helps me …
Even though summer officially goes till about September 21, you can tell it’s one of the last weekends of August. People are on end of summer vacations or getting their kids ready to go back to school if they haven’t gone back already. In fact, the list of posts from the Beauty Spotlight Team this …
Last fall, I started what turned out to be a major crochet project. Almost a year later, I finally finished it! It’s the “Lost In Time” shawl, a beautiful pattern created by a truly talented crocheter and designer, Johanna Lindahl, who creates under the name, Mijo Crochet. Her many patterns are written in Swedish and …
Although I’m a big fan of Korean and Japanese skincare, I still love European products. Some of my absolute favorite bath and body products come from Officino Profumo – Farmaceutica Santa Maria Novella, the world’s oldest pharmacy, in Florence. I’ve been there a few times, and I’ve bought their products in Rome, New York and …
You know I’m a super big fan of PCA Skin’s Ideal Complex Eye gel. It’s definitely one of my all-time faves, and I’ve bought it at least 3 times. Literally, as I was walking out the door to leave for vacation, I received a package from PCA Skin. I quickly opened it before I left, …
