Product Review: Versed Dew Point Hydrating Gel Cream

January 26, 2022

VERSED DEW POINT MOISTURIZING GEL-CREAM FIRST: This is Not Sponsored. My daughter put this magical (o’crap, I just gave away the ending) moisturizer in my Christmas stocking. So I’ve been using it for a month and have already purchased a second tube <- serious endorsement right there, ha ha. When I first

Monday again. I remembered to try and not wear something DARK dark…though it’s still a little dim and foglike. That’s okay. I actually prefer grey skies to bright sunny ones. Bright light hurts my eyes. While I LIKE this plaid button-down, I haven’t LOVED it with the other items I’ve worn it

MONDAY 1.17.22 I really wanted to read on the sofa today. But. Sigh. I was getting more things ready to list on ebay and it took way longer than it should have cuz I was obsessively checking Discord all throughout the day to see if I was selected for Bangtan Academy (the

b-r-r-r-r. It’s super cold (teens) AND I’m going out to dinner after work so will be OUT AFTER DARK. Whoa whatta concept. Had a hard time deciding in what order to layer. Buttondown UNDER crewneck would have been neater BUT. Meh. Ha. I was just cold and Warmth and Comfort were

Overslept. Keeping it simple. Black and cream. Done. I’m finally wearing this sweater more since I moved it to a more prominent spot in my closet. Do you have things that are just a little too “out of sight out of mind” so they don’t get worn/utilized as much as they should?

It seems that without intentionally doing so, I often dress “dark” on my first day of work after a weekend or vacation. I’m considering this ensemble a fail…wait, let me spin that in a more positive light. It was an EXPERIMENT that I will not be trying again, ha ha. In my

I’m home from work for Martin Luther King Day. I’m just running up to get coffee. I managed to not “deli” over the weekend but Saturday I wanted a coffee so bad that I finally said to myself JUST MAKE SOME INSTANT COFFEE AND STOP YOUR WHINING. I didn’t even have milk

MONDAY 1.10.22 Apartment Therapy January Declutter: Day Something. Today’s post started with “Humans are designed to become desensitized to things they see most frequently.” YES. And I don’t think that’s limited to “seeing,” but that’s another topic. But…haven’t we all walked past piles of junk, sinks full of dirty dishes, chairs heaped

Yay for a non-bitterly cold day 🙂 and I’m back in one of my favorite autumn/winter outfits. I still love this cardigan so much. In my mind I want a black one and a cream one and a burnt orange one but I haven’t actually assessed my wardrobe to see if those

Welcome to the monthly edition of Where Bloggers Live. It’s kind of like HGTV’s “Celebrities at Home,” but…Bloggers! Who doesn’t like to peek behind the scenes and see inside people’s homes?

Another cold one! We’ve been fortunate…it was mostly mild (of course, I do prefer the colder temperatures) right up through the new year. But now is that time of year when I WISH I HAD MORE CHUNKY TURTLENECKS! This 2-month period – Jan-Feb – is when that’s all I want to wear.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2022 Oh, this was not the plan. I knew it was going to be VERY cold today, so today was supposed to be my WARMEST get’up…but then I realized that a) my black cashmere crewneck is missing (WHERE DO THESE THINGS GO???) and b) I didn’t really want to

Surprise! I’m trying out something new. Instead of a weekly round-up of all my outfits from the week, I’m going to post one outfit each day. So there will be MORE posts…but they’ll be much shorter. Also, I’m going back to only sharing M-F outfits and cutting myself a little slack on

Since I was on the last legs of my vacation and I didn’t leave the house once all weekend (not even for deli breakfast), my nightgown and I never parted ways…so. Yeah. Let’s just start with Monday when I actually put on clothes and left the house. MONDAY 1.3.22 We had a
