Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
Gee, we just got back from LA, and we’re heading off again! Frankly, we hadn’t planned it this way, but this is how it worked out. We had planned this trip a while ago. We’re going to celebrate the 2nd birthday of Jeff’s granddaughter! And after that, we’re going to drive to Washington DC to …
Jeff and I are back from Los Angeles. We had a stressful trip, but I think we managed to help Jeff’s sister get home from the hospital and re-settled in her second floor apartment after surgery and hospitalization for a couple of weeks. She is using a walker to get around after her spine surgery, …
In case anyone wonders why you’re not getting daily posts from me this coming week, I am going to LA with Jeff to help his sister who has been in the hospital after having emergency surgery. Wish us decent weather for flying since LA is supposed to have another flood over the next three days. …
If you are celebrating Valentine’s Day with whoever is important to you or on your own, I wish you a happy heart day! Valentine’s Day can be a strange celebration since not everyone feels included. Celebrate Galentine’s Day with a friend today instead of yesterday. Even when I was acknowledging the day on my own, …
I became aware of toxic chemicals called PFAs in nonstick cookware. As a result, I have replaced the vast majority of my nonstick pots and pans. Recently, I was contacted by a woman who was the Outreach Coordinator for a group called ConsumerNotice.org who passed on links to a highly informative article that talks about …
Best wishes to all of you who celebrate Christmas and this lovely time of year! Let’s all hope for a peaceful and joyous day when we can count our blessings. Merry Christmas!
Hope you and your family and/or friends have a lovely Thanksgiving Day! Whether you’re hosting and being a guest like I am this year, have lots of fun, great food, and many things to be thankful for. This Thanksgiving, I am thankful to Jeff and also to Miriam for recognizing that I needed to go …
We had an amazing time in London and Dublin. To be honest, writing about it all in one post is overwhelming because we did so much. Every day, we covered a lot of territory, walking 4.5-6.7 miles exploring the cities. So, instead of one post, I’ll do a few. Guinness Brewery Tour One of the …
If you are a subscriber to NSDB, yesterday you were sent two mailings with the same post (Clutch Pro Phone Charger). But you never received my post from Tuesday about Sand Cloud Turkish Beach Towels. The company that sends out my daily (or mostly daily) post is trying to figure out what went wrong. As …
Just before Labor Day, I was seduced into buying a new beach towel…because of course, it was on sale. But I ended up absolutely loving it because it ticks so many boxes for me! And why I love it goes back to my last beach towel purchase. Five summers ago, Jeff and I flew to …
Our trip to London and Dublin is in less than three weeks, and I have so much to do to get ready. First, I am hoping that the new covid booster will make the last hurdle today, so I can make an appointment ASAP. Jeff got covid either in the airport in Raleigh where we …
Labor Day Weekend Festivities Between gorgeous summer weather and the last weekend at the Beach Club, I’ve been busy doing fun things. Every year, Gloucester MA hosts a schooner festival with schooners coming from around New England, and this year’s festival was a real success. I didn’t take as many pix as usual since we …
Before I forget our vacation, I thought I would share a few pix with you. We were gone for almost two weeks, the longest vacation I have had for years! In fact, we drove much of the state. We flew into Raleigh and spent two nights in Chapel Hill at Jeff’s older daughter’s house and …
Jeff and I are going to North Carolina for his birthday to visit his two daughters, their husbands and his little granddaughter who is now about 15 months old. It’s been quite some time since I have seen them, last October, I believe (although his older daughter came to Boston to visit in February). We …
Yesterday, I took the train to Boston to go to Sassoon to get my hair recolored. Since I got to town (what people call the city in Boston) an hour early and it was a sunny day, I walked the two miles to the salon. As I cut through Boston Common, I smelled the divine …
