happy weekend. I have a pretty busy one. Today is going to be a sad day – I have a memorial service today for my friend who passed away this winter. At the opposite end of the spectrum, tomorrow I’m having a party for no reason other than wanting to eat tacos and drink tequila with my favorite people. I really love entertaining and am making it a goal to have at least one spontaneous party a month this summer! This week was pretty busy. My friend Jackie was visiting from San Francisco so there was quite a bit of eating and drinking. Add to that a few more dinners and a black tie birthday party and the week flew by! Whatever you’re up to, I hope it’s great. Let’s hope for some sunshine (and eesh – so nervous for that second to last episode of Game of Thrones!!!)

Loved that list of Long Lasting Beauty Products. Now, give us your review on those prod please. Some look interesting. I use Sunday Riley Good Genes everyday, so can I use the A313 cream at night? Or is that too much of something?
Thanks for your help.
Hey Cynthia,
I am not familiar with the A313 cream so can’t speak personally to it but it looks like it’s an acid (and so is Good Genes) so I personally would not use both at the same time.
