It may seem as though I’ve forgotten about this blog, but I’ve kept up with the WordPress updates, regularly delete spam comments, and constantly have it in the back of my mind. So why another long lapse between updates? To be frank, my life is boring. Life is good, but boring with not much to […]
The Neverending Period
I’m sorry if this is TMI for some people, but I have been dealing with this condition for over a year and I’m finally going the surgical route in order to try to fix it. What is this condition? Well, I have had my period since September 2022. Yes, you read that correctly. I have […]
My Top 7 Foundations
In the past, I used to be more comfortable with my bare face but after I hit my late 30s (I’m currently 42), I found myself reaching for face makeup more often. As such, I have tried tons of foundations — in various finishes, coverage, and price points. And while I recommended only one in […]
Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there! J has been away this week on a business trip and will not return until late tonight so we already gave him his gifts before he left. The picture below popped up on my Facebook memories and I couldn’t had a chuckle over how little our […]

Additionally, I am only picking one makeup item per category. (You can see my skincare recommendations here.) And […]
Spring Break in New Orleans
We just returned from five glorious days in New Orleans! I have always wanted to visit the city and finally decided to go for it by combining the girls’ spring break and J and my anniversary trip. J and I are too old to participate in the raucous activities that one usually associates with NOLA, […]
New York Basketball Is Back
You see, I’ve been a Knicks fan since the 90s. I cried when we lost the Finals in 1999. I know we had a glimmer of hope with Melo (and we can’t forget Linsanity), but you can’t deny that being a Knicks fan in the past 20 years has been tough. But two years ago, we […]
Skincare Device Reviews: NuFACE, Light Salon, & Medicube
As a self-proclaimed geek, it’s a give-in that I incorporate technology into my skincare routine. There are three devices I have been rotating regularly, and they are: the NuFACE Trinity (with Eye and Lip Enhancer attachment), the Light Salon Boost LED Face Mask, and the Medicube Age-R Ussera Deep Shot. The NuFACE Trinity is the […]
Simple Skincare Routine, Early 40s Skin
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve pared down my skincare routine greatly. Gone are the days of the 10-step routine. Time is too precious. Simple, effective products are key. Although I don’t use TikTok (I’m too old 😝), I do read about the big trends and I discovered skin cycling last year. Basically, the concept is: […]
