A Nod to Liner Notes

Living· Relaxing

A tribute to the time when buying an album (and the liner notes inside) was an occasion not to be rushed, but to be savored. You remember. You’d go downtown to pick up a new album at the record store. For me, it was the Record Bar. You’d browse through the racks of albums on display. You’d pick one up,…

I Can’t Stop Reading Karin Slaughter

Favorite Things· Relaxing

I love to read. I can’t imagine settling into bed at night without a book in my hand. And I do mean an actual book. I may be one of the last people on earth to say this, but I’ve never read an entire book on a digital device. It may seem old-fashioned, but I just can’t seem to make…

Dabbling in Essential Oils

Favorite Things· Home & Garden

Years ago, I decided to learn a little about essential oils and it’s become a fun hobby for me. I was trying to make my home “greener” and use fewer chemicals whenever possible. Essential oils are natural and contain beneficial properties for a multitude of uses. Aromatherapy hasn’t been vastly studied scientifically, but there are some promising results and users…

When You’re Caring For An Aging Parent

Living

According to statistics from the Family Caregiver Alliance, over 34 million Americans have provided unpaid care to an older adult in some form over the last 12 months. Close to 75% of those caregivers are women. The average caregiver is 49 years old and spends over 24 hours per week giving care over a period of 4 years. Obviously, these…

As soon as there is a hint of Fall in the air, I start feeling cozy and looking forward to losing myself in a new TV series or catching up the newest season of an old favorite. I am a sucker for a good British murder mystery series whether in print or on screen. Who doesn’t love a good British…

Perfect everyday face wash.⁠ I love this face wa Perfect everyday face wash.⁠
I love this face wash so much! @paulaschoice "Ultra Gentle Cleanser" has become my go to everyday face wash. I use it in the shower and as a 2nd cleanse after a cleansing balm in the evening when I've been hot and sweaty all day or if i've had on sunscreen or makeup. Perfection for my mature skin.⁠
⁠
My number one consideration in a face wash is if i can use it on my very sensitive eyes and am happy to say this one fits the bill. You only need the tiniest bit so I expect this bottle to last a long time. Love it! No fragrance, just a very clean but not strippped feeling to my skin. So glad I found it ♥️.⁠

(no ads, just real recommendations) I love my @syd (no ads, just real recommendations)
I love my @sydneygraceco custom palette! I think of it as my "Cool Winter" palette, not because it's wintertime but because I love being able to select cooler toned colors just for me.. 

SWIPE for arm swatches of these beautiful colors.

I'm a minimal make-up person but this is all I need for shadows. And it never irritates my sensitive eyes!

Couldn't wait to post because they happen to be having their amazing "Christmas in July" sale.

The hype is real! Today's recommendation has gotte The hype is real! Today's recommendation has gotten a lot of mentions recently but I think it's deserved.⁠
⁠
"The Body Wash" from @necessaire really surprised me. I got the unscented version and I thought how much of an impression can an unscented body wash really make? But it really does leave your skin feeling soft and moisturized. Never have I almost forgotten to put on body lotion after a shower but I have to try to remember to do it now! ⁠
⁠
Just ordered their body lotion to try and can't wait to get it!⁠ Available at @sephora, @necessaire, @credo and more.⁠

I want to share a few basic skincare & beauty item I want to share a few basic skincare & beauty items over the next couple of weeks that I've REALLY been enjoying this (sweltering) summer. ⁠
⁠
First up are 2 lip products from @cayskin.⁠
⁠
I use both of these daily & LOVE them. On the left is the ⁠
"Isle Lip Balm" in clear. Lovely, shiny, long lasting lip gloss moisture and an SPF 30! This stays in my bag & goes with me everywhere this summer.⁠
⁠
The other, on the right, never leaves my bedside. It's the "Deepwater Lip Mask" and what I use at bedtime every night. I truly believe it has made a difference in the plumpness and moisturisation of my lips.⁠ ⁠
⁠
If this company isn't on your radar yet, I suggest you check them out.!⁠
⁠
 Available on @cayskin website and @Sephora.⁠

Lots of stress, anxiety, grief and adjustments. But I'm still standing! We've welcomed my mom into our home and all I can say is to all the caregivers out there, YOU ROCK!
