I tend to stay away from reading too many beauty articles. Mostly because I like to discover and create my own beauty regiment, and follow what works for me. God knows I’ve tried them all, brands, colors, application techniques, different regiments, and through it all I found what works for me personally. This is one area I feel isn’t shareable because everyone is different, and not all products work for any two people the same way. But since I also believe in mostly organic beauty secrets, like the ones my grandmother, and aunts used decades ago, I found this article simply delightful, and for sure something worth sharing. What are your beauty secrets? {photo and article credit click here}
Here I go again, revamping something I’ve done years ago. Sharing with you all a few interesting finds online. 1. I go to Paris at least once a year, and during my trip I shop at Monoprix for all of my snacks, and bottled water and so on. I actually look forward to doing that. So, here’s a story about Monoprix and how I will never venture out into their basements. Although it is an interesting find: 2. Twenty-Five things I didn’t know about Breakfast at Tiffany’s was an article I stumbled upon while looking up information about George Peppard-at the time the handsome actor who portrayed Holly’s love interest in the film. I was using his portrayal as research for my next novel. Anyway, here are the facts if you are interested. 3. Flight MH370 disappeared nearly a year ago (3/8/2014) and its story the most daunting. Still today, we have no idea what happened, and all of us rely on speculation, although deep down we all have a pretty good idea as to …
What am I missing? This year, I wasn’t at all impressed with the gowns the women over 40 chose to wear to the Golden Globes. But, if I am asked to pick just one, I would have to say Helen Mirren knocked it out of the park.
I am a fan of the man. The man behind the mask, behind a beard, behind an Irish accent, a killer in a role, a lover, a hero, on land and on the water. A preacher, a soccer player, anything goes. And while I was researching for book 3 – which I’ve been working on diligently to have ready by February 2015, I stumbled upon this video, pausing to take it all in. It was filmed in San Francisco, I know exactly where, since I stalked the shoot, naturally 🙂 It’s wonderful to see the finished product. Anyway, enjoy for all of you Gerard Butler fans, or not. Happy birthday to the man of today!
I might be traveling across the UK, but there is nothing stopping me from following the Paris Fashion week, admiring some of the most beautiful fashion from designer Zuhair Murad Check out my favorites: {photo credits from here}
I, for one, don’t photograph well, not anymore that is. My photos don’t do justice to my face or body, so I can only imagine the pressure celebrities feel when being photographed after 40. Because in all reality, untouched photos don’t lie and sometimes they bring the worst out of you, no matter how unique you want to appear. With all that cleared up, I think celebrity over 40 crowd, particularly women, missed it for this year’s gathering.
Two things dictated how I wanted to dress for New Year’s Eve this year. Top priority was comfort and the second, dressy but casual. So I opted for pants, then a simple sequined top, followed by strappy shoes which would give me enough support to last throughout the night and a simple pair of earings to accessorize. As for the coat, I love fur, faux that is and since this year faux fur is in, I decided to incorporated it into my ensemble from here. 1. DKNYC Sequin Pullover Sweater 69USD 2. Sondra Roberts Clutch – Woven Satin and grosgrain box 125USD 3. Elie Tahari Tara Faux Fur Jacket 221USD 4. Judith Jack Sterling Silver Crystal Earings 75USD 5. Theory Pants Belisa Mandatory Slim 235USD 6. Vince Camuto Strappy evening booties 129USD
I love this part of our trips to Europe, the stop in the French Riviera. We took the slow train from Genoa (not intentionally) that was how RailEurope site booked it for me when I did my point to point reservation and within four hours pulled into the Cannes train station. I gladly jumped off the cart and walked to our hotel, which is always across the street from the train station. I prefer it that way. We wasted no time in freshening up and running to the promenade to walk along the shore before heading into old Cannes to have dinner. Cannes is an amazing place to stay, it has everything you need and not as chaotic as Nice is during the busy Summer season. You can spend the mornings, shopping, then in the afternoon sunbathing at a number of public beaches and then get dressed up and go to dinner at any number of indoor/outdoor restaurants along the promenade, followed by a walk along the shore. It’s definitely designed for the over forty …
