What a busy week! I’m exhausted, but that’s how it goes. I did quite a bit of yardwork, drove to pickup a friend who had day surgery quite a ways from home, and on Friday going with Jeff to his first appointment at Dana Farber, Boston’s well-known cancer hospital. Hoping for the best, and looking …
Sometimes things happen for a reason. Or at least happen serendipitously! Not long ago, I used up the root touch-up powder that I apply to my part between hair colorings. I had been using that brand for quite a few years, and I was satisfied with it. But the following day, I was asked if …
Spring often means a change in my skincare routine. For one thing, I spend a lot of time working in my gardens, and I am often covered with dirt at the end of the day. This year is no different. Today, I mowed the lawn (although Jeff did half this time), and trimmed with a …
My Interest in Marin As I’ve mentioned previously, I have blepharitis, the medical term for eyelid inflammation. My eyelids are red.

Last week, one subscriber was kind enough to let me know that she hadn’t a daily post from Never Say Die Beauty in a few weeks. That was news to me! I hadn’t realized that MailerLite had stopped delivering my blogposts (although I think they still delivered the Sunday campaign of 3 recent posts). It …
OK, I fell for another mascara brand with a unique point of difference. And I bought two, again. Benefits of Olivia Blaire Curling Iron Mascara This time, the mascara is Olivia Blaire Curling Iron Mascara. The “curling iron” part was the unique part. The wand is made from metal: no bristles, no plastic teeth, just …

During the open artist studios in Beverly MA in December, I bought a raincoat from my friend Constance Festo Lafond (mentioned here, here and here), an artist whose semi-bespoke clothing made in Canada by Le Galeriste features her abstract and representational paintings and photographs. The painting that was transferred onto the raincoat is called “Garden …
I’ve been on the hunt to replace my favorite navy blue canvas wedge shoes from Grasshoppers for months. I have had them for at least 3 years or maybe longer, and I wore them to death. In fact, the navy blue canvas on the sides of the shoes faded from the sun! Although Grasshoppers still …
On Friday, Jeff, his older daughter and I went to Boston’s Museum of Science. The joint was certainly jumping because it was school vacation. But actually, it was great to see so many kids and parents at the museum. The kids were very engaged with all the exhibits, and so were we! Especially important and …
April is just flying by, but I am so confused because of the cold weather. I keep thinking it’s still March. So I forgot that Earth Day is today, April 22. I realize you’ll be receiving this on Thursday, a day late. You may remember that I love hiking in the woods, so I try …
