I Bought This/Press Sample/Affiliate Links Although I haven’t used these particular Korean skincare products, I felt that I should at least alert you to them in case you or someone you know is looking for anti-acne products. Both Abib and #OOTD are among my favorite K-beauty brands in terms of efficacy and affordability. Abib Heartleaf …
Press Sample/Affiliate Links Usually, I’m not a real fan of sheet masks. I find them difficult to apply because they are often too large for my face. Also, they tend to be cold, so I try to use them in the warm/hot weather. But I am a fan of the Korean brand #OOTD, so …

Although I’ve been a fan of technology since I was a kid, lately everything I own is broken. Including my website. Including the blogpost delivery service. (As well as my iPhone 17 Pro Max, my Apple Watch, and my car). Yesterday, Jeff and my friend K. both informed me that my blogpost delivery email #1) …
My friend, Gabrielle, a scent lover, recommended the fragrance house, Maison Louis Marie, to me. She mentioned that it is long-wearing and has great projection. Because I’ve been finding that, though I can definitely smell perfumes, I quickly develop olfactory fatigue. I’m not sure if I have a sinus infection or something else, but it …
Although I still have a lot of new products to review, I’ve been trying to clean up my office and bathroom, so I’ve started shopping my stash. I thought about giving this facial oil away, but I changed my mind. I’m a fan of Purlisse, so I decided to use it. I’ve written about Purlisse …
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 …

My Interest in Marin As I’ve mentioned previously, I have blepharitis, the medical term for eyelid inflammation. My eyelids are red. Also, when my dry eyes make tears, they are often acidic and burn the skin near my eyelids. An ad for a cream that helped soothe and treat eczema on eyelids jumped out at …

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 …
There are some brands that, if I had an unlimited budget, I would buy all the time. PCA Skin is one of those brands. PCA Skin is a science-based brand that caters not only to consumers like us but to professionals as well. In fact, PCA stands for Physicians Care Alliance. In addition, PCA Skin …
