Vests Making a Comeback!
We’re all seen or had a quilted vest. Many times they had a hood, were quilted and had an elastic waist. They seem to be popular for a while, then you don’t see them. Vests are making a comeback. This time around, however, the quilting seems to be less puffy, the fit is more sleek […]
Makeup: Age changes things, ladies!
As you age, makeup needs to change! In my time doing makeup, I quickly realized: Women begin liking a product early in their lives, and think they can use them as they mature. Sorry, ladies, it’s just not so! Sniff, sniff…please read on… When I was in my 20s I actually had oily skin. Now […]

When I look at my mom’s high school graduation photo, I see someone totally different than the lady who raised me. This girl is beautiful, dressed smartly with dark, chestnut brown hair.

Help! I always buy the wrong makeup…
If you are like most women, a trip to the cosmetics counter can be daunting–yes even for me. Most sales associates recommend far more products than we need, but they sound so convincing…and if they work, what’s wrong with that? Anyway, I have learned that ….no. 1, stores want to sell.
