The care and feeding of a fifty year old face

A selfie of me, no makeup, hair barely brushed.

I am not a skin care expert. I am a normal person with a tendency toward laziness who was also gifted with very good genes. My primary concerns are pimples, rosacea, and dryness. Here is my fifty year old face’s…

Adventures in hair color: Garnier Light Nude Brown

Beauty tips that took me 25 years to learn: Eyeshadow brushes!

I’ve never been much into makeup, much to the dismay of my Mom who used to swish blush on my face as I glumly ate breakfast in the morning before school. Now to hide the world-weariness that 11+ years working…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
