Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
I saved this week’s Fashion Flash to post while I am visiting friends in the frozen north for a few days. To be honest, I am done with winter especially after a day of almost 60 degrees this week. But this was the only time we could agree on for our visit. Hopefully, Jeff will …
Wearing sunscreen on my hands is one thing that I wish I could go back and get a do-over on. For the longest time, I never thought about it. By the time the brown spots starting showing up, it was too late though I try to put it on to prevent it from getting worse. …
Around 10 years ago or maybe even a little longer ago, my two aunts and I went to an exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum. That was before my older aunt developed dementia. We enjoyed the art and a casual lunch, and before we left we ended up, of course, at the PEM Museum Shop. …
Being a beauty blogger has given me the opportunity to try out a lot of indie beauty brands that I probably wouldn’t have bought before I became a blogger. Although I was adventurous when it came to trying foreign brands especially when traveling abroad, at home I was risk averse. I mostly stuck with well-known …

Because I wrote about the different strengths of perfume yesterday and I mentioned, Grand Soir from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, I thought I would post about it now. First, a word or two about the creator of the scent, Francis Kurkdjian. “Francis Kurkdjian (born in Paris on May 14, 1969) is a French contemporary perfumer and …
In one of the fragrance enthusiast Facebook groups I belong to, one of the members shared a blogpost from ACHARR, an online retailer in Malaysia that explained the different strengths of fragrances. I thought I would summarize it here since it seemed like useful information. Overall, the difference in fragrance strengths has to do with …
For a few years now, I have been touting two of my very favorite lip treatment products. If you follow Never Say Die Beauty, you know what they are, and you can read about them here and here. Actually, I’ve written about those two faves many times! But now I have added a new-to-me brand …

As I mentioned last week, I am trying hard to get into use it or give it away mode. I bought a set of Sonia Kashuk makeup brushes at Target a few years ago with the intention of doing a giveaway with them. They have been waiting patiently taking up space in one of my …
Hope you had a nice V-day with your spouse, special someone, family, friends, or chilling out on your own! Now we’re on the back half of February, and though it is 9 degrees here, I can see Spring ahead in the distance. And it still isn’t completely dark at 5:45pm. Awesome. This Presidents’ weekend, take …
In spite of the fact that I have a humidifier built onto my furnace, my skin still feels somewhat dry and tight toward the end of the afternoon. As a result, I have become a mister. I still hate spraying myself in the face, but I am getting better at it, lol. A couple of …
I just received my Ipsy Plus box for February, so I better get on the stick and tell you about my January box. Called Clean Slate, it emphasizes new beginnings. To that end, the Clean Slate box has 3 skincare products out of the 5 full size products. That makes sense to me. And since …
This is my advice to myself, lol. Today, while looking for an old iPhone to give to my cousin’s daughter, I ended up finally cleaning out an antique-style secretary in my bedroom that I allowed to be burdened with piles of stuff that I didn’t know what to do with. It is such a pretty …
After owning several Sonicare electric toothbrushes over the past 25 years (I’m estimating), I began to have issues with my current Sonicare that became more than just annoying. For the past year or so, the bristles on the Sonicare brush heads were getting bent out of shape after just a couple of weeks. In addition, …
