I was at Joann Fabrics today. While I was waiting for them to call my number, (so that I could get a yard of fleece for Kay who is making a jacket for the dog) I saw some stackable plastic drawers. I picked up… Continue Reading “Deep Lacquer”
Warning: Disingenuous Rant to Follow I was in the Bath and Body Works. I was once a regular customer of this branch. While I have defected to The Body Shop for most of my shower gels and creams, I still go to Bath and… Continue Reading “Credit Card Processing”
I started wearing make up at eleven. I know stuff. I don’t know everything, because who can be bothered? But trust me on this one – eyeliner. I have pale skin and pale eyes, so eyeliner has always been my one most important cosmetic.… Continue Reading “Product Review – Eyeliner Sealer”

Which is why the totally not-green plastic flossy things have been… Continue Reading “Being Grateful for the Little Things”
Janet Franz wrote a mid-winter article in the Chicago Tribune comparing hand creams. It seems Aveda wins and Neutrogena is the best from the drug store. (Neutrogena is also the best for boys that don’t want to smell like girls.)But the real conclusion Franz… Continue Reading “Hand and Foot Creams”
I was in junior high school when I discovered the wonderful, wonderful world of bath products. Before I knew any more about skin care than benzoyl peroxide (which I am sure I could have properly spelled at the time), I was spending my daddy’s… Continue Reading “Dirty, Dirty Traitor”
