Summer Scent

I am generally a fan of Champagne by Yves St. Laurent, but my former mother-in-law just gave me a massive bag of beauty supplies, including products by Shiseido and Lancôme, as well as various perfumes by Elizabeth Arden.
One of the Arden perfumes was Green Tea and I am completely in love with it as a […]

That Crease Between My Eyes

Inside my head I am 18. Seriously, I can close my eyes and take a deep breath and I honestly feel like a teenage. However, I am not 18 anymore and sometimes it really shows.
I am in the process of getting my face back in top shape. I let the skin on my face go […]

Medical Bracelets

When I was young, my mother wanted me to wear a chunky medical bracelet so that if something happened to me people would know I was allergic to Penicillin and that I have asthma. I hated that bracelet. There was absolutely no way to make it look cute or trendy. It was such a downer […]

The Merits of Home Waxing

I have been waxing my own eyebrows a home for years. Still, I like to go and have them waxed at a salon about every third or fourth time. Doing that helps me maintain the shape of the brows. After all, I’m no expert. I do, however, like to do it myself more often than […]

It Feels Like Christmas

I just had dinner at my former mother-in-law’s house tonight. I missed her chicken curry and rice pudding and just sitting and talking with her. It was a great visit and the first time since my divorce that I have had extended time with her. We both decided there is no real reason for use […]

Health Care in the U.S.

As is the case with an election year, the topic of healthcare is hot. We have so many uninsured people in the United States, nit to mention those who can just barely afford insurance for policies that are debatably not even worth the monthly premiums.
I think a lot about health insurance. I carry COBRA right […]

I Smell Clean

I just got another set of perfume products in the Clean line. I have a bottle of the original Clean perfume I was given for Christmas and since I was so smitten with that bottle, I decided to go for another in the Clean line. This time I got a bottle of Clean Ultimate perfume, […]

Like Tying a String Around Your Finger

Wow. OK, I was randomly surfing the net and somehow I came upon this old picture of Madonna’s kid, Lourdes. And all I could think, obsessively and persistently, is that that really need to go into the bathroom and heat up the waxer. Seriously. I am now completely compelled to wax every stray hair I […]

One More Reason Hollywood’s Idea of Beauty is Crap

People Magazine and their annual list of 100 most beautiful people has always been a little suspect in my opinion. This year, though, they have hit rock bottom. I am not sure who the editor’s are trying to appease, but the fact that RUMER WILLIS is in the issue is proof that you can look […]

Contacts and Eye Comfort

I love contact lenses.
I was in 6th grade when I jokingly tried on my friend Kathleen’s glasses. I stopped laughing when I noticed I saw the backboard better when I was wearing them. That night I told my parents I should probably go to our family eye doctor.I was prescribed glasses and told to wear […]
