How did April go by so quickly? I can’t believe that it’s almost May. Although it’s supposed to rain for the next three days (April showers still?), I am getting a jump on my gardening. My muscles hurt a little afterwards, it keeps me from thinking about my neck and stomach, lol. All the grass …
Sadly, most of my good friends seem to be moving away. Like far away. Boo. Today, I had lunch with my friend Ellen who is moving to Maine. I met Ellen a few years ago in the supermarket. She came up to me and told me she thought I looked like her sister. Then, she …
I have a few quick thoughts on products I’ve recently tried that I thought I’d share. Ilia Makeup Duo: Sephora Birthday Gift Last week, I picked up my birthday gift from Sephora. I chose a travel size duo from clean beauty brand, Ilia. It contained the Ilia Multitasker cheek and lip stick in a pretty …
In December, I was in a tea drinking mood. As usual, I saw an ad on Facebook that tempted me. A company based in Hong Kong called Teatsy was advertising a glass mug with a removable infuser that looked very appealing. I went for it. Snowy Sunshine “Snowy Sunshine” is a Japanese style high borosilicate …

About a month ago, I registered for a Bzzz Agent social media review. The project was to test out two of the several products for menopausal and post-menopausal women. They must not have had that many women volunteering because I was accepted almost immediately, lol! Frankly, I always thought that skincare for mature women made …
Sephora Today, I decided to go pick up my free birthday gifts at Sephora and Ulta. I knew that at Sephora I wanted a makeup duo from Ilia: Ilia Limitless Lash Mascara mini and Multistick cheek and lip stick mini in At Last, a mauve rose shade. I remember at the end of the year …
Although Olive & June nail products aren’t 100% perfect, you know I love them. Even the Quick Dry formula that I wrote about two weeks ago ended up lasting me a week! Right now, Olive & June is selling their Mani Jetsetter kit of minis as their best-selling gift for Mother’s Day. Whether you are a mother, …
Woohoo, this weekend we have five of us bloggers participating in the Beauty Spotlight Team weekly roundup! It’s been a while since we’ve had almost full participation, so I am happy about it.

Today was my 5 week appointment at my vascular surgeon’s office. The goal of the appointment was to get an ultrasound and determine if the blood was running through my two carotid arteries. For some reason, I was misinformed, thinking I was going for a CT scan. I also thought that I would get to …

Conscious Beauty Collective is a group of clean beauty brands that have teamed up to promote their products. Over the past several months, I have been making my way through the box. I wish …
The spring holidays are finally here! I couldn’t be happier unless the temperature went up above 50 degrees or so. The daffodils and crocuses are starting to open, though the magnolia, cherry and pear trees could definitely use a little more sun and heat here in northern MA to help their blossoms open. I hope …
Wednesday night was the first Seder of Passover, so I didn’t have a chance to post yesterday. My cousin Ellen and her husband always host, and there’s a big crowd, 20 people or so. It was a long evening, but I was happy to get to see my cousins and my aunt. And I cooked: …
Speaking of products from my Ipsy bags, I received AHAVA Smoothing Hand Cream. I got it during the winter, but I already had a couple of hand cream bottles and jars open. Recently, I thought why am I saving this? I have waaaaay too many cosmetics that are “waiting in the wings”. I opened it, …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links In an earlier Ipsy bag where I forgot to pick my products, I received a bottle of Ipsy’s house brand, Refreshments Radiant Micellar Water. Since I had never tried any products from their private label brand, I was kind of happy to get it. It is a clean beauty brand, …
