Loving Airbrush Legs Leg Makeup

Posted by: monique In: personal gooming

[Editor's note: Thanks to reader Chris for her contribution about Sally Hansen's leg-helper!]

It is called Airbrush Legs Leg Makeup, by Sally Hansen.  I purchased the lightest of the 4 colors to choose from because of my fair colored skin on my legs.
What I loved about it is that it is water resistant, goes on really [...]

Vive les Mini Croissants

Posted by: monique In: food| kitchen

It’s hard to find a good croissant, at least on this side of the Pond. Believe me, I’ve tried. After living in France and eating way too many of these amazingly flaky pastries, I realize I complete took them for granted. It’s something I have regretted with each bite of most inadequate US-based croissants.
Browsing through [...]

Sofftest Shoes Around

Posted by: corine In: clothing

Over-exercising caused me untold plantar foot pain for months.  I read one statement by a foot specialist that said if we live long enough, we’ll all experience plantar foot pain.  After serendipitously picking up a pair of Sofft dress sandals and wearing them to work on a regular basis, the pain eased and then actually [...]

TIGI S Factor Smoothing Conditioner Tames

Posted by: corine In: personal gooming

TIGI products are perhaps known best for their wildly popular Bed Head line.  Enter a new line of premium (read: expensive and not sold at Target) hair-care products called S Factor.  An upscale salon owner in Running Springs, CA, recommended this product after too much sun and pool water (and too much middle age) turned [...]

Bemis Has Easy Seats

Posted by: monique In: bath| organizing

Most people ask too little of their toilet seats. Not me. I require that it be sturdy (so I can comfortably sit while snipping nails, brushing teeth, or whatever), easy to clean (because that’s the division of labor at my house) and the lid doesn’t make a loud bang when I’m too tired to close [...]

Oust, Oust, Damn Stink

Posted by: corine In: cleaning

I love fresh air.  Nothing suits me better than sheets hung on a clothes line and cool summer mornings rushing through my open windows.  In other words, I love bringing the smell of the outdoors in.  Oust does just that without leaving a chemical smell.
Let’s face it, there are places in my house that don’t [...]

Champion Running Skort

Posted by: monique In: clothing

[Editor's note: A dear reader scouted the Champion Running Skort for us and has this fab review. Thanks, Cassie!]

By Cassie Moir
If you are like me and trying to cram your workout into an already busy day, these running skirts are for you.  They are extremely flattering to my almost 40-year-old figure, so I have to [...]

A Gummy a Day

Posted by: monique In: health

Since when did candy become good for you? Since the day Vitafusion Multi Vites Gummy Vitamins came on the market. Every day I pop a two-gummy combo of berry, lemon and orange adult vitamins, and I’ve not only gotten a happy jolt of sugar, but also the vitamins I used to choke down in a [...]
