I’m not a big cosmetics person. Aside from a lifelong tick of wanting/needing to wear mascara every day, I do not wear cosmetics consistently. Skincare – mildly obsessed. But cosmetics, meh. I have a bare minimum regimen often spiced up with eyeliner. But I’m very picky about my eyeliner. It needs to really glide on. It needs to be hand sharpened with a sharpener – the mechanical sticks are too delicate and snap on the regular for me. It needs […]

Her hair was actually not Rapunzel’s greatest asset. If the pandemic has shown me anything, I’m rather more impressed by her ability not to lose her ever-loving mind through the day after day of sameness. I, however, have neither the hair nor the patience of Rapunzel. But I am trying with my hair – I am beginning to be known as Katharine the “Baby Lion” on my Zoom calls! After some stops and starts, this is my current and, I […]

It happened one day. I saw a picture posted on Facebook that someone had taken of me at a party. I was clearly happy – laughing, relaxed, carefree. It was a great picture. I looked….my age. It was the first time that I noticed how old I looked. It is not a bad thing because I’ve lived a pretty awesome life so far and I look pretty darn good for my age if I do say so myself. However, it […]

We had a little snafu with nature this weekend. In an effort to welcome sprummer (DC’s version of spring which presents itself as early summer), we diligently attended to our backyard. We cleaned the patio furniture, weeded, mowed the lawn, power washed the deck, pruned trees and bushes and…accidentally wiped out a cardinal’s nest. My husband carefully conveyed the fledglings to a raised garden urn and for the next 36 hours we diligently chased squirrels out of the yard […]

I have been atrocious to my skin this summer. I have been very good about sunscreen on face and neck at all times. I have not been very good about exfoliating, moisturizing and make up removal. Mon dieu! My skin finally rebelled and presented me with feisty little bumps along my hair line and jaw line. Not to mention turning the other cheek…in to sandpaper. It was time to provide some supercharged TLC. First, I cleansed with my Clarisonic Mia3 […]

Sometimes we realize that we are stifling our own creativity. Sometimes it may take a few — okay, a lot of months to realize it. But the good news is we…I…did realize it. And now I’m back! Here are some things to remind me and you, why that is a good thing. Well, just because, how cool is this? – Monki Pyramid Purse – ASOS $22 Summer / Fall transition can be rough but this shirt can help – BP Stripe […]

Winter lethargy has done a nasty number on my fitness level so I am working toward a better me. Better in the sense that there may be a chance I’ll fit in to my spring clothes. Sigh. So my recent purchases have been not so much clothing. Polished Metal Front to Back Earring in Silver – Sole Society $24.95 Polished Metal Front to Back Earring in Gold – Sole Society $24.95 As you can see I tend to buy multiples of something […]

Elizabeth Taylor as Gloria Wandrous in BUtterfield 8 What perfume did Gloria wear? Elizabeth may have favored Bal A Versailles at the time but in the opening scene of the film she wanders into Dina Merrill’s dressing room and samples a few perfumes on the vanity. Gloria finally settles on one. She liberally applies it thoroughly enjoying the sensual act of perfume meeting skin. The perfume was Caron’s Tabac Blonde. Created in 1919 by Ernest Daltrof this Leather perfume’s notes […]

Winter brings its own brand of aesthetic to our skin. That flushed pink hue on our cheeks may be free – no Mac blush needed. But at the expense of chapped, dry, itchy skin, I’d rather pay the price in dollars, thank you very much. And while Norman Rockwell makes rosy cheeks look so charming, we know the reality is very, very different. So what do I do? Not much. Seriously. 1. Cleanse with Olay Total Effects Nourishing Cream Cleanser using […]
