Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Yesterday, I took the train to Boston to go to Sassoon to get my hair recolored. Since I got to town (what people call the city in Boston) an hour early and it was a sunny day, I walked the two miles to the salon. As I cut through Boston Common, I smelled the divine …
Cool Nights Summer Edition I didn’t realize that Soma added so many new patterns or designs to their lineup of Cool Nights sleepshirts. They always seem to have new additions seasonally to their collection. And that’s not all, they also have pajamas in a variety of styles. In addition to the traditional sleepshirts, …
Months ago, I was sent a bottle of Eclat Rose Water Toner to try out. Before I had a chance to use it, I ended up in the hospital which led to several months of being sick, having surgery, and generally feeling under the weather. I knew I put the Eclat Rose Water somewhere, but …
It’s easy to go through periods with staple products and then all of a sudden discover something new that you just love. I know that there are some brands/products that I stick with for ages, and other brands/products that come along and make me switch. Here are 5 brands/products that I’m loving right now: I …
Tonight (Friday), Jeff and I went to the opening cocktail party at my beach club. The crowd was definitely the biggest since before COVID. Actually, it may have been the first opening party since before 2020! It was nice to see everyone. And the food from the new caterer was fabulous. Because it’s supposed to …
Because I’ve been working so hard in my garden, it just didn’t make sense to paint my nails. The bluestone and marble chips that I was putting onto my walkway did a number on my nails. I ended up having to file them down, but they sure do look better than they did. I love …
I received a new box of skincare goodies from Paula’s Choice just in time for warmer outdoor weather. Inside the box was a beige baseball cap with Team SPF (a $25 Paula’s Choice value) on the side. The best parts about the baseball cap (that I can always use) is that it: Inside the box …
Since I spent the entire day mowing the lawn and working in my garden (it’s 8pm now), I thought I would write about all my gardening projects. Last summer, I spent most of the time replanting grass primarily in my backyard. I had a yard and a half of loam delivered to my driveway, and …
For months, I gave up using spray toners because the spray hurt my post-surgical jaw. I continued to use my Innisfree Green Tea Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Toner that I still love. Because it’s a hydrating liquid without a spray, I can just splash it on and it feels so soft. Recently, I decided to shop …

I had a small (10 oz.) eggplant in my fridge that had to be used ASAP. I decided to modify a recipe for tonight’s dinner that a friend told me about, originally from a vegetarian cookbook. It turned out to be quite delicious, especially as we are headed into the fresh vegetable season. Here’s my …
Today, I went “shopping” with my friend, M, who needed to pick up something she bought at an antique store. Wow, I had never seen an antique store with so much stuff that was owned by one person. Everything was perfectly categorized throughout the store by topic, e.g. Lladro, Hummel, blue glass items, Asian items, …
Another month has gone by, and I’ve done pretty well using up full size beauty products. In fact, I have a few more that are just about empty that I’m saving for June’s empties. Yay! In the meantime, let’s see what’s going into recycling tomorrow. Skincare IT Cosmetics Confidence In An Eye Cream Anti-aging Peptide …
In one of my recent empties posts, a reader told me she was looking for a new eyeshadow primer. I mentioned that I had been using Urban Decay Anti-aging Primer Potion for a long time, but I disliked the “not so new” application wand that they switched to several years ago from the regular squeeze …
Wow, it’s June now. Officially almost summer. But here in New England, we are going from a few days of 80 degree temperatures and sunshine to temps in the 50s and rain. Crazy weather. I am hoping, however, that it will clear up at least for tonight because I would love to see the Strawberry …
