I don’t differentiate between seasonal or day/night scents. To me preference will always supersede trends. Here is a playful medley of my new favorites… While browsing at my favorite Anthropologie, a tube of Library of Flowers‘ Arboretum caught my eye, but didn’t make a purchase until my visit to New York Botanical Garden weeks later …

Every once in a while I’ll find myself wandering the beauty aisles and find something blog-worthy, like Sally Beauty Supply DCNL’s both pretty and handy-to-have hair accessories. I’m normally a …
My New September Favorite: Farmhouse Fresh
On the first evening in Cape May, New Jersey, my husband and I walked to the main shopping strip (just minutes from the White Dove Cottage, Bed & Breakfast). BTW, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the White Dove; Stella gives it two paws up as well! After a quick preliminary scout around the area, I …
Lush Cosmetics’ Facial Masks

A Rose by Any Other Name Would Smell as Sweet?….
I have been on a long and arduous “Des Esseintes” hunt for rose scented products which actually smell like a real rose = /. My obsession began with my yoga instructor’s rose essential oil which she occasionally dabs onto our hands as we are readying ourselves for shavasana (I love to place it on my …
Third Time’s The Charm: Origins
I first tried an Origins product years ago; I believe it was a small bottle of milky makeup remover. It was okay but didn’t leave a huge impression on me. A few years later I was dorming at college and found out that one of my suitemates was an Origins fanatic. Had I liked her …
Another Nifty Invention: Facial Shield
A few years ago while visiting Long Island, I happened upon a beauty supply store and found a facial shield that I thought my mom would like. She ended up using this shield daily to protect her eyes from all that hairspray. A few months ago, my freshly cut French styled bangs were annoying me …
Primitive Natural Makeup: Lipsticks
My recent visit to Mrs. Green’s Natural Market brought me also to the cosmetic/toiletries aisle. Was really shopping for daikon and almond milk though ;). Besides carrying the wonderful PeaceKeeper Cause-Metics, they also carry an awesome new brand, Primitive Natural Makeup. I wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to test their lipsticks; I was solo …
