Strangely, my post from yesterday didn’t publish so if you’re interested in hair drying tips, take a look at the post after this one.

The past few weeks have been busy, and the next month will be even busier still for me. My friend Sue who moved to DC almost 2 years ago is coming to visit for the next several days. I’m psyched that we’re going for a hike in the woods tomorrow at my favorite place…except this …
The last couple of days have been busy, busy. I haven’t gotten to write a review as I had hoped both yesterday and today. Today, I drove to the train station, took the train to Boston, took the subway to Sassoon on Boylston St. and got my hair re-reded. Then I walked a few miles …
Time got away from me again. As midnight rapidly approaches, here’s a short post about Lewis Carroll’s “Alice In Wonderland” in contemporary art.

I had planned to write about something else, but I received a comment about a product from a company whose lipstick I reviewed. I decided I wanted to write about customer service since that was the writer’s issue. Back in November 2023, I wrote about Color The World Lipsticks here. I bought two lipsticks from …
Gee, we’re in June already, but here are a few Father’s Day ideas in case you’re stuck! Tumbler Knife Sharpener I received the Tumbler Original Diamond Rolling Knife Sharpening Kit around the holidays, but I hadn’t had a chance to review it. I think it would make a fabulous gift for the dad who …

One of my close friends moved to D.C. a year and a half ago, and sadly, we don’t get to see each other very often. But whenever she drives north to take part in a ski trip, she often tries to stop to visit me either on her way to the mountain or on her …

I’m back from Costa Rica, but I’ve been struggling with “getting back into the swing of things”. Hoping I will get my mojo back. Jeff and I had a wonderful time in Costa Rica, our first time in that country. We flew into Liberia, the airport in the north of the country. We rented an …
Just got back from jogging in the beautiful 70° weather this afternoon, and sat down at my desk to check the news on my desktop. I also checked in on Facebook. I saw a very legit looking “ad” that touted receiving a Sephora mystery box filled with brand name cosmetics in exchange for filling out …
