I’ve been using coconut oil, argon oil, and grapeseed oil in my beauty routine for years, but these oils have been used in beauty routines for centuries. My husband just recently joined Pinterest and one of the first things he discovered on Pinterest was how oils could help moisturize his itchy beard. He had me run to the store and to Sally’s Beauty Supply to pick up a combination of grapeseed, jojoba, and almond oils. I already had coconut oil (because I cook with it) and Josie Maran’s argon oil (which I picked up on sale from QVC). You can mix […]

I also got a Formula X in a taupe color (#254), and a OPI Nail Envy in Hawaiian Orchid. When I get my first mani-pedi of the Spring, I usually opt for something […]
Curly Hair, Don’t Care… But I Do Care!
I love my naturally curly hair, but sometimes I’m not “in love” with my curls! There are days when I want to go “G.I. Jane” and shave it all off. Not only is my hair curly, and sometimes unruly, but it is mousy reddish-brown, thinning (thanks to being in surgical menopause), and graying at the roots. Since I was 16, I have had a love-hate relationship with my hair. The summer between my freshman and sophomore year in high school, I used Sun-In to lighten my hair. In my sophomore class photo, my hair was orange. My senior year in […]

The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, is tonight. If you’re like me, you watch the pre-show leading up the the Oscars, where all the actors and actresses stroll down the Red Carpet, stopping to talk with interviewers like Ryan Seacrest, Giuliana Rancic, Robin Roberts, and Lara Spencer about not only the films they are nominated for, but who they are wearing!
