Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
One of the things that bugs me is the droopy skin on my upper arms. I used to lift weights at least three times a week back in the day. But my unfinished basement has been detrimental to me continuing that formerly good habit. I still have my weight bench and my bar, though the …
About a month ago, I was sent a new purse from Latico Leathers, an American company that crafts premium, very well-made leather goods. In fact, I’ve been using my new bag constantly as my daytime bag. Honestly, it ticks all my boxes. In case you’re new to Latico, here’s their brand statement: Redefining Everyday Essentials …

Beauty & Style Spotlight Team Weekly Roundup The Boxwalla October Beauty Box, Autumn in New York, features an Ameōn Skin serum, moisturizer and headband that Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog is over-the-moon about. This extraordinary box is one you won’t want to miss. Blazers are one of the most versatile …
When we went to NYC a couple of weekends ago, I grabbed a b. glen Travel Set to take with me. Although the Clay Wash Cleanser wasn’t for my dry skin, the rest of the product minis were terrific. However, I fell in love with one of the products in particular. QuSome Lotion The b. …
About a year ago, continuing in their focus on pro-collagen peptide products, Paula’s Choice launched Pro-Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm, a super-hydrating, thick, non-sticky lip balm. I guess I’ve been so wedded to my regular plumping lip balm (if you follow NSDB, you know which one I mean!) that I missed this one. And I gotta …
My Trouble Sleeping Falling asleep has never been my strong suit, actually since I was born. My parents always told me they used to drive around hoping I would fall asleep. Even now, to be honest, many nights I am still up at 2am or even later. Not surprisingly, I have a hard time waking …
Before the storm comes up the east coast on Sunday and Monday, Jeff and I are going to make our annual pilgrimage to the Topsfield Fair today. Looking forward to seeing the bunnies, chickens, sheep, goats, cows, llamas, horses, local amateur artwork, as well as the gorgeous fruits, vegetables and floral arrangements. Plus, it’s time …
I’m on the fence about RMS Beauty‘s products. I really like some of their products, and others are kind of meh. I guess that’s probably how I feel about most cosmetic brands. Although I love love LOVE RMS Beauty Legendary Serum Lipsticks (I have 4 of them reviewed here and here), I’m on the fence about …
A day (or several) late and a dollar short. That’s me. Because of our holidays and our trip to New York, I completely forgot about September being Self-Care Awareness Month. But hey, it’s never too late for taking time for self-care, especially from a beauty blog 😉 In addition, it’s rare that I accept …
We just got back from NYC where we had a fantastic time. More on that tomorrow. But in the meantime, I want to post last weekend’s Beauty & Style Spotlight Team Weekly Roundup! BSST Weekly Roundup for the Weekend of October 4, 2025 Vitabrid C¹² Wrinkle Serum and Wrinkle Cream nourish and moisturize the skin while …
Really? Am I really writing about a toenail clipper? Well, yes I am. Just a short plug for Tweezerman. For me, Tweezerman tools really are the King of health and beauty tools. So after struggling with my old toenail clipper for years, I used my CVS cash and coupons to buy a beast of a …
I thought maybe I found a replacement for my missing Hellenist Paris Les Bras de Morphée at Beauty Pie, the UK cosmetics brand that I joined a month or so ago. When I placed my last order at Beauty Pie, I needed a small purchase in order to get free shipping. Beauty Pie Orris Florentina …
Have a lovely weekend everyone! It’s time to get the Fall clothing back into our closets and embrace the beautiful Autumn colours. Nancy at Nancy’s Fashion Style prefers summer much more: the sun, the warmth. Ah well, there is something to say for every season isn’t there? But for now greens, browns, they all come …

Holidays have been on my mind lately, and the upcoming holidays this fall and winter are what I’ve been thinking about. It’s not too early to start thinking about holiday gifting and holiday outfits. I’ll bet many of you have already started putting your lists together, if you haven’t started shopping already. And remembering the …
