As promised, I am pleased to review the Makeup Eraser. I’ve used both the full-sized and mini cloths for over a year and love this product. I love them so much that I’ve given them as holiday stocking stuffers. I normally wet the cloth with warm water and I proceed to removing my makeup. I …
For the past week I’ve been trying Fenty Skin by Rihanna, specifically the Total Cleans’r, Fat Water, and Hydra Vizor. While I’m not the biggest Rihanna fan aka “Navy”, I must admit I’m loving this trio as much as my long-standing beloved Origins routine. My Fenty Skin Start’r Set was a Sephora gift as part …
I was looking for a steal vs splurge version of these trendy ribbed sweater pants which Jennifer Aniston has already made popular as she was seen wearing them on her Christmas tree shopping outing earlier this year. While I don’t follow all trends, I’m generally open-minded and love clothing that’s comfy and these are really comfy besides being stylishly fashionable. I bought a beautiful light grey set which includes the coordinating short sleeved cropped cardigan and bralette. Planning to pair them with a modern long paper clip style chain and plain white sneakers as seen on the model below. My set is from The Drop Store on Amazon. I also bought similar knit bottoms from Amazon’s Waitfairy; however, this particular brand sells only the knit pants. I can attest that both The Drop Store and Waitfairy versions are well made, soft, comfortable, a great thickness for autumn, winter, early spring, and possibly summer. I’m planning to purchase more in mostly classic neutral colors. I’m about 5’3” 123 lbs and bought the small/medium. I could have chose the medium/large maybe but wanted it to fit more snug. Please keep in mind this knitwear is quite stretchy. The pants have a drawstring. I was also delighted that they weren’t overly long on me and fit perfectly so no need for tailoring.

I may have skipped the 2019 version by accident so I will include it in this post. I believe this one was sent through the mail. Sadly I don’t have any Hallmark shops nearby any longer, at least not that I’m aware of, or I would have likely purchased it from a store. This pretty …
Looks like a new Hallmark ornament artist has taken over designing the cupcake series? Will miss Ruth Donikowski’s creations. Not sure if she has retired or working on other projects? I bought a felted one “Merry-Mint” and a large ceramic & metal special edition Limoge-like hinged keepsake with clasp a few months ago. At regular …
I’ve been wanting to write about this ever since the last northeaster we had. There were many downed trees and power lines over the span of a short period of time. We had no electricity for a few days and our only light source were from candles. My extended family also live in areas where …
The Sweet Reindeer Treat, priced at $14.99 + tax, is the newest addition to the Christmas Cupcakes Limited Edition series. Hallmark once again doesn’t disappoint. Just look at those darling little pretzel ears squeee. Honestly I look forward to their new ornament unveiling every year during Christmas in July at their Keepsake Ornament Premiere event. …
I can’t say that I was ever really consistent with my skincare routine before but over the years I’ve loved Benefit Cosmetic Mint Souffle, Neutrogena, Amore Pacific, and Origins. A few months ago I promised myself I would include skincare as a self-care priority and started facial mask Mondays and Fridays. More on this in …
I’m currently using a vertical layout Classic Happy Planner (since end of December 2020). Normally I’d prefer something much more portable but due to the pandemic and having an 18 months 2020-2021 planner already handy at home, I decided against buying a new one. I had contemplated my next to be either a Classic or …
I’m so sorry I haven’t been posting that much lately. Just caught up on replying to some comments and equally apologize for the delays in responding to those. I hope you are taking exquisite care of yourself, your family, and with that indirectly those around you from your community during this pandemic. Always remember that …
