As usual, you’ll find a varied list of beauty, health and wellness, exercise, travel and lifestyle posts of interest to women over 40. Not sure why Deb always decides to …
In July, I saw an ad on Facebook for a skincare brand I had never heard of: DefenAge. The ad made a claim about their products that got my attention. To be honest, as a former advertising exec, I take advertising claims with a grain of salt, but something about the ad got me. It …
We’ve got sort of a long weekend in the U.S. Columbus Day is a holiday that not everyone celebrates. Some people are working, and others are off. It’s more of a retail holiday than anything else. So if there’s anything you were thinking you couldn’t live without, now’s the time to see if it’s on …
A couple of weeks ago, I was watching a YouTube video from a very sweet blogger/vblogger, Cassie from Southeast By Midwest, who was talking about her 5 favorite nail polishes. I don’t know what came over me, but the minute she showed one of her favorites, TGIF from Formula X, I had to have it. …
Sadly, I have put away my sandals, though I am hoping that we may have some Indian Summer days at some point before the real cold weather hits. When I wear shoes, I wear socks or stockings. In fact, for years, I wore nylon knee-highs, and sometimes I still do. But when we were in …
I haven’t been feeling well for the past several days. Some form of gastroenteritis, I think, or else it’s the return of diverticulitis. I don’t usually complain on my blog about health stuff, but this has been a drag. For the past three days, I haven’t been eating but just drinking clear liquids to give …
It’s the beginning of October already! How did that happen? The leaves are starting to change here in New England, and we’ve been drinking cider and picking apples. For this first week in October, the “over 40” bloggers of Fashion Flash have a variety of lifestyle, beauty, health and wellness, travel, and exercise posts and …
Well, it is definitely fall. Today, Jeff and I are making our annual pilgrimage to the Topsfield Fair, the nation’s oldest agricultural fair. As usual, we’ll spend hours looking at all the animals and every fruit, vegetable and flower. What’s on your agenda this weekend? If you have a few minutes, please take a look …
First, I want to announce the winners of the Farmhouse Fresh Lip Scrub giveaway. Julie W’s name was picked first so she gets her scent choice, Blackberry Wine. Cynthia R’s name was picked second, so she will get Beach Punch. I’ve emailed them both, and hope to hear back soon. If I don’t hear from …
Last November during the Sephora pre-holiday sale event, I picked up the Laneige Good Night Set containing travel size versions of Laneige Water Sleeping Mask and Lip Sleeping Mask. At the time, I thought, for me, that the Water Sleeping Mask was the star, but I’ve changed my mind. I am not going to do …
Last night, I caved. I turned on the heat in my house. The outside temperature was around 53, and inside my house, it had dipped to 63. I was freezing even wearing a sweatshirt. Although they say it may reach 80 today, the past two days have been downright chilly. The return of the cool …
This August the weather was so consistently humid that nothing, and I repeat, nothing kept my hair frizz free for more than a day or sometimes only for a few hours. Plus I was jogging in the heat and humidity as well as swimming whenever the water was warm enough. As much as I love …
It’s Monday already! Where did the weekend go? But I bought a new bike on Sunday, the first new bike I’ve bought in about 20 years. It’s so much more lightweight. You can tell how excited I am 😀 To get your week started, head over to Mirabai from Moving Free’s website. Mirabai is an …
I’ve been dying to try some Perricone MD skincare products. The brand has a good reputation, but it’s quite pricey. I’ve gotten a few sample packets over the years and I’ve tried testers occasionally at Sephora and Ulta. But the samples weren’t big enough to form a real opinion. So I was thrilled when I was …
Happy first weekend of fall! Does it feel like fall where you are? This past week, we’ve had almost every kind of weather: hot beach days at the beginning of the week, heavy rain from the remnants of the hurricane in the South, very chilly nights, and beautiful sunny days in the 60s and low …
