What I’m Loving Lately: Winter Pampering

Well it’s Valentine’s Day, I should be writing about love and how to dress yourself in red and pink and make some weird craft incorporating hearts, right? Instead I’m taking the day to share what I’ve been loving lately. Consider it a bit of a Treat Yourself post, with beauty and pampering things I have…

Little Bits of Luxury: Manicures

My bridesmaids bullied me into a manicure for my wedding day. I went to the salon just for an updo, but left with Essie Ballet Slippers on my nails. I felt for the manicurist because she was trying to make dry, rough, gnawed nails and cuticles look Wedding Day worthy. That was the last manicure…

Take Good Care of Yourself, You Belong to You

Image by Karsten Moran for The New York Times Last week on my Facebook page, I shared a New York Times article about Martha Stewart’s beauty routine.  I was surprised when so many news outlets reported on her OMG $2,000 beauty routine, and surprised by how many of you were critical of her skincare process. …

Best Beauty Buys of 2013

I bought a lot of beauty products this year. Maybe it’s getting closer to 40 or maybe it’s changing my makeup to change my personal style, but I did a lot of experimenting, watching more YouTube tutorials, and subscribing to more beauty blogs.

Reclaiming my Curly Girl Status with Salon 46

When I was a baby, I had curly hair. As I got older and my hair got longer, I forgot that I had natural ringlets, and instead cursed my frizz. When I was in middle school, I took my waist-length hair to a salon, armed with the latest issue of Teen Magazine that featured Tiffani…

Recent Beauty Buys: Creating a Natural “No Makeup” Look

Come summer, I feel like an idiot rocking shimmery shadows, high-pigment lips and airbrushed skin. Warm weather is a time when freckles and a flush is apropos, but as I age I find it less possible to achieve a natural “no makeup makeup” look with just a little dab of concealer and tinted lip balm….

Recent Beauty Buys – Anti Aging Edition

My skin is now at the point where anti-aging products aren’t just to prevent wrinkles, but to make my current skin look better. I’m finding products for aging skin have ingredients to plump, add extra hydration, and often add a bit of shine or a dewy look. Yes please, I’ll take it all! Here’s some…

Hair Update: Hairstyle to Hide your Bangs

Summer is coming, and bangs don’t work well for me in the hot months with sweat and humidity. I find they end up curling, separating and sticking to my forehead. So when I saw this video on BlogHerTV on how to style to hide your bangs I was excited: This is such a simple way…
