For a few months, I’ve been using a new eye liner that I am absolutely in love with and I keep meaning to tell you about it! I’ve never been great at applying liquid eyeliner, and it seems awfully harsh for everyday wear. But I’m not crazy about pencil eyeliners either; they never really seem… Continue Reading →
I think springtime is finally here to stay, and I’m happy to say buh-bye to dry, itchy skin. I was literally scratching my legs raw this past winter, and then not only did I have itchy legs, I had itchy legs with scabs. Pretty! And let’s not talk about my face. Dry, itchy patches around… Continue Reading →
This post is brought to you by John Frieda. All opinions are 100% mine. Ever since I started coloring my hair (which was only a couple of years ago; I waited until the grays started to torment me and decided it was time to give up the ghost and join the rest of the civilized… Continue Reading →
True confession: Until about a year ago, I was never one to carry a compact in my purse. I always carried lipstick, but that was it. I hardly ever touched up my face when I was out and about. But a few months ago I went to a travel blogging conference at which the fabulous… Continue Reading →

Last week I mentioned that I am loving my new Sonia Kashuk Weekender makeup bag, and I had several requests for some photos of the bag as well as a roundup of the makeup I’m currently using. Since I aim to please . . . hear ya go! Here are a few shots of the bag. Outside… Continue Reading →
It will probably surprise no one that I’m a bit of a product snob. I buy most of my skincare and makeup at a department store (actually, right now I’m using and loving the Theraderm products for skincare; I write for their site so they send me free stuff. WOOT!) But you get the point. I… Continue Reading →
One of the highlights of my trip to the Target HQ with the Inner Circle crew was our makeovers with celebrity makeup artist Sonia Kashuk. What made it a true learning experience more than just a fun makeover was that she set us up with our own makeup and brushes and lead us through the… Continue Reading →
I have mentioned many times that I have the skin of a lizard. It is so terribly dry. One of the reasons I love summer so much is that I get a delightful reprieve from the itchy, flaky, scaly dry skin that plagues me during nine months of the year. Even with the HINT of… Continue Reading →
I’m glad you're here! I'm a writer, talker, coffee addict and collector of people and handbags. I live outside of Philly with my husband, 3 children, and a terribly spoiled shih tzu named Savannah. Read More →
