My grandmother owned every gadget ever made to help her fasten her bracelets. Her generation wore real bracelets, not like us slacker Gen Xers with our bangles and jelly bracelets. She wore bracelets which have to be fastened. Have you ever tried this? It’s really hard and annoying. Which I suppose is why an entire [...]

When I lived in Florida I was able to slip over to the Basin Store at Downtown Disney for the occasional luxury bath item. Since we’ve relocated this is one little luxury that had gone by the wayside. But on a recent business trip to Minnesota I strolled through the Mall of America and what [...]

All summer I’ve been slathering on sunscreen which usually means my already oily skin has to deal with extra products clogging my pores, making me more likely to break out. Each year I search for the perfect skin-care regime to keep my skin acne-free and I’ve returned to a tried and trusted brand from my [...]

A few weeks ago I spent what seemed like a small fortune on razor blades. Actually, I picked up a combo pack that included a Gillette Venus Breeze razor and about 18 refill cartridges that I hoped would last several months. I’d used several versions of the Venus razor before and been satisfied. They seem [...]
