Housewares are the Bomb!
Once in a while I will go into a store looking for a fashion item and instead be fixated on items in the decor/housewares department. That was the case yesterday when I stopped into Silver in the City on Mass Ave in Indianapolis (there is also a store on Main Street in Carmel, Ind.). I […]
Out-of-the-way places for unique clothing and jewelry!
We live near Broad Ripple, considered the artsy, fun neighborhood north of Indianapolis. We love it here because we live next to White River, yet our neighborhood is very close to downtown Indianapolis.

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 […]
Valentine’s Day Gift Idea! DryBar…

When it’s warmer, sometimes ladies will wear white jeans or a blue jean […]

Think Pink: Breast Cancer Awareness Month
I am little late, since October is almost over, but I would be amiss if I didn’t talk some terrific products that benefit breast cancer research or celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month by being “pink.” Donations to the American Cancer Society funds research for breast cancer studies and programs. Susan B Komen’s Race for the […]
Makeup for the seasons
When you shop for makeup, department stores like to sell you new colors for the season. I have to agree with them: you should change up your makeup for different times of the year. Through the summer, you probably wore less makeup, relied on tinted moisturizer, bronzer and tinted lip balm. You were wearing your […]
