DAZZLE DRY: DISCOVERING THIS NAIL POLISH SYSTEM

By Libby|2019-02-03T17:24:23-05:00February 3, 2019|Shopping|

It’s been quite a while since I have posted a

The time has come to introduce you to
DAZZLE DRY

Here is the Starter box you get with all three bottles. This time I used Essie “Geranium” for my color.

I was on vacation last summer and went to a lovely spa for a manicure. This new-to-me nail system is now my #1 and only nail product I use.
It is FABULOUS
I have dry skin which translates to dry nails and cuticles. Polish just never, ever lasts more than about five days…at best. It chips so easily no matter what kind of base, brand of polish, or top coat I use. And no, in case you ask, I cannot use any kind of synthetic i.e. acrylic nails as I am allergic to them.

It was a never ending problem.

Enter DAZZLE DRY.

This is amazing stuff! There is an entire protocol and sequence to using this.

1. First, on dry, clean nails you rub on, with cotton pad, the Nail Prep.

2. Brush on a generous coat of Base. Be sure to, as they instruct, “encapsulate” the nail by brushing the end/edge of each nail.

3. Allow this to […]

FRIDAY FLOWERS: VALENTINES DAY IS COMING

By Libby|2019-01-24T16:50:10-05:00January 24, 2019|Friday Flowers, Shopping|

Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it, so let’s get a jump start!
Whether you are looking for a present for someone else, or perhaps for yourself, here are some fun ideas. I’ve tried to keep the selection in the “flower” range, with, obviously, some red or pink. And I’ve included a variety of price points.
I hope there is something for everyone…

Let’s start with some flowers. But no, not roses (or even tulips) but some dried amaranth flowers in pretty pink:

Find them ~here~

Succulents are everywhere, including many Valentine gift sources. Here’s a cute idea:

I’m always on the lookout for unique iPhone cases: there are SO many out there. This Etsy vendor has a great assortment, including this very pretty watercolor:

Just so lovely. These vases come in a variety of sizes and the pale design lets the flowers shine.

How about 80 (yes, that’s eighty!) Anemone stems!

FINDING COMFORTABLE, BUT FASHIONABLE, WEDGE SANDALS!

By Libby|2018-05-13T14:04:21-04:00May 13, 2018|Shopping|

Is this possible? Can a woman of a certain age find a stylish, contemporary, fashionable shoe that is also comfortable?
By the time you reach my age… six decades…almost everyone has some sort of foot problem!

The search started with this yummy pair of wedge sandals:

From SOLUDOS

Somehow I kind of fell in love with them! A little dressy, straps not too thin, nothing climbing up the ankle (!) , solid hemp sole and great, versatile color.

Out of stock 😥😥 So time to move on and get serious with more shopping, right?

Let me show you a few alternatives and what I finally ended up with.

I like these…a lot…but they were a bit too sporty for what I wanted.

Corso Como Beeata at Zappos

Yes…BUT…. again too sporty and just not really stylish.

El Naturalista at Zappos

I like these. A bit ’70’s ish? I think I had a similar pair back in the day. But a nice look!

Ralph Lauren Cecilia at Zappos

Great looking and probably […]

FRIDAY FLOWERS: PLANT STANDS

By Libby|2018-02-22T11:17:06-05:00February 22, 2018|Friday Flowers, Garden, Shopping|

Are you running out of space to keep plants indoors? Or, do you want a compact and space saving way to keep smaller plants outdoors?

Look no further! Plant stands have come a long……way since the mid-century days of your Mothers and Grandmothers! Now, don’t get me wrong: I love those vintage plant stands with metal curlycue feet and maybe painted a pale, dusky yellow. They have their time and place.

But I’m also seeing SO many wonderful contemporary plant stands, many made with sustainable wood and lots of new design ideas.

Let me show you my favorites and why:

I love this! The zinc is so good looking. The tray is removable. The stand is light and not bulky at all; it would fit anywhere. And with green foliage, it looks fantastic. Also comes in a variety of shape trays. Buy it HERE

This is one versatile and wonderful way to have plants indoors or outdoors. I love that you can actually put soil in the tray and grow your plants right there. Or, you can put pots in it. And for all the succulent lovers out there…isn’t this great? See it HERE
