Last night, I caved. I turned on the heat in my house. The outside temperature was around 53, and inside my house, it had dipped to 63. I was freezing even wearing a sweatshirt. Although they say it may reach 80 today, the past two days have been downright chilly. The return of the cool …

On Friday, I finally succumbed. I drove out to the mall and stopped in at L’Occitane to pick up the Spring 2015 L’Occibox. It’s been a while since I purchased anything from L’Occitane, and the $20 L’Occibox in the pretty cherry blossom decorated hat box was too good to pass up. I read reviews of the L’Occibox …
Some time ago, my friend Sybille gave me a bag filled with beauty products and samples that she didn’t want. They definitely found a home with me. The big prize was DiorSkin Nude BB Creme, but there were plenty of other goodies in the bag as well. One that I recently discovered was a deluxe …
