In December, I placed an order with Korres. I can’t remember for sure if I bought the terrific holiday box, “Spread Joy”, Olive Blossom trio in order to spend enough money to get points that would get me a free product, but I think that’s what happened. What I remember is that the “Spread Joy” …
Aceology appears to be an Australian cruelty-free skincare brand known for its treatment masks (for acne, hydration, lifting, firming, detoxifying, anti-aging etc.) In the past, I’ve written about their Lifting Treatment Mask (here) that I like a lot.

March literally passed in the blink of an eye for me because of our trip. Honestly, I was shocked that we’re already in April. I forgot to mail my cousin’s birthday card for April 2 because I thought it was still March! But time marches on (pardon the pun!). In spite of my being away …
We were only in Asheville for less than two days. And we were there to celebrate Jeff’s granddaughter’s 2nd birthday. So there wasn’t much time for shopping. (P.S. She loved the dinosaur dress I bought her so much, she instantly put it on over her clothes and wore it for the rest of the evening!) …
It seemed to me like January lasted forever, but February was over in a flash even with Leap Day today! So we’re at the end of the month already, and I spent more than a week away from home. How did I do using up beauty products in February? Project Pan February ’24 Bath & …

It seems to me like Christmas and Hanukkah just ended, but here we are just about at Galentine’s and Valentine’s Day! Jeff and I decided we will skip gifts this V-day (though chocolates and/or flowers are allowed). I don’t usually celebrate Galentine’s Day, but I know other people do. And Galentine’s Day is next Tuesday, …
Looking for a Valentine’s gift for your partner, your friends, for a couple, or for pampering yourself? Let me tell you about TOA Waters Bubble Bath for adults.

Valentine’s Day is less than a month away. Actually, it’s in a little more than two weeks! If you have people that you like to give a little something to, here’s an idea. As you may know, I’m a bona fide lover of all things heart-shaped. I came across a bright red heart-shaped soap from …
I found the bag where I was storing my empties from last summer. Finally, I am eager to recycle them and start to clear out my bathroom closet, as well as to close out the year on Project Pan 2023! As usual, my two big categories were Skincare and Bath & Body. Because there are …
Recently, I was sent two products from what turns out to be an almost local company from Cornish New Hampshire that started out making natural bar soap. Actually, the owner, J.R. Liggett and his wife, Diane started making “hair soap” from an old recipe that Jim found in an old cookbook. He had originally learned …
TreeHut makes affordable body and bath products in a variety of fruity and tropical scents.

My experience with TreeHut has been with their …
Oh dear, 2023 has come and gone, and I haven’t yet caught up with my 2023 beauty empties. I will do the best that I can. I will do one post that includes July, August and September at some point soon, and this post will be December. Hair and fragrances led the way in December. …
