Thank you so much for your kind comments about our daughter and son-in-law’s hometown reception last weekend. You were so supportive when my mother died… it’s nice to have happy news to share! I’ve got some quick things to share along with Cindy and Annie. Like stylish eyeglasses to try on virtually… it’s fun! Really cute beach accessories that will make you the most fashionable on the sand. What to read and watch on television…and a just-released face oil product I’m using!
Stylish Beach Blanket And Umbrella
Get the most out of the last days of Summer! Alexandra put this darling umbrella, soft beach blanket, and beach bag on her bridal registry and they were very happy that they got everything! Especially since they live in Southern California. This feels like finishing summer IN STYLE! Alexandra and her friend, Staci only brought the blanket with them this time.

What to Read
We are going to a wedding in Maine next week so I wanted to read/listen to:
Haven Point: A Novel By Virginia Hume
It’s a new book about three generations of a family that spends summers in a seaside enclave on Maine’s rocky coastline. I enjoyed the audio version that I ordered from the library.
Stylish Eyeglasses To Try On Virtually!
Eyebobs
With Eyebobs and a camera on your phone or computer… you can virtually try on glasses! As I did below. I got $10 off with my first order (I think you will too). They cost more but are sturdier than my Target readers. I bought these in red.
But I could use another pair! Try them…they have sunglasses and prescription glasses, too.
Others I am considering…
What To Watch On TV
The Cook of Castamar TV Series On Netflix
It’s in Spanish and we watch it dubbed in British English with English subtitles too so we don’t miss anything 🙂 Howard even likes it.
“In 1720 Madrid, a talented cook catches the eye of a widowed duke just as he returns to aristocratic society.”
All-In-One Face Oil
I have very dry skin and I like the way this new Summer Fridays “Heavenly Sixteen” face oil soaks in quickly makes my skin feel good. Yes, this old gal has wrinkles (evidenced above in the unretouched Eyebob photos), but Heavenly Sixteen does plump up and softens the crepy texture on my neck.
One last thing, my daughter texted me to say that Anthropologie is having an extra 40% off already marked-down sale items. I know I shouldn’t pull the trigger, but I love a deal, and here are some things in my cart that are an extra 40% off. Shop My Cart:
Let’s check out what Cindy and Annie have for us!

Have you really watched the cook of castaway? I started watching, and within a few episodes I saw clearly that a vignette of porn was included in each….it began with a scene with the original cook having a graphic romp with a man, and thus she is fired…and the next two or more shows have more explicit scenes. I think you are a lovely person and probably never noticed anything beyond the exquisite costumes and set design and lighting…..

I hate it when it gets raunchy…and will turn it off…but so many new shows have sex. Did you see Bridgerton!?
Mary from Life at Bella Terra says
Mary Ann, I love the EyeBobs info and also I need a new book and show to watch. All very timely this week! Thanks for sharing.
Mary Ann Pickett says
You are welcome, Mary!

Hi Mary Ann,
I always enjoy a good book recommendation as well as a new series to watch on TV. What a lovely time of the year to be in Maine. I’ve heard of Eyebobs but never realized what type of glasses they sell. I never have enough readers!
xo,
Karen
Mary Ann Pickett says
Actually, they sell all sorts of glasses, Karen.
Branch says
Love your blog but I find the faded font hard to read ~ Eyes are not what they used to be
Mary Ann Pickett says
I actually had the font made bolder recently, Branch. Can you try refreshing your browser?
Stephanie says
My face is super dry too. I will try that face oil.
Annie Diamond says
Mary Ann!
What a summer it has been for you and your family! Loved seeing your photos of Alexandra and Luca’s hometown wedding reception. I love your choices for eyeglasses too!
xx
cindy says
Hi Mary Ann
That beach blanket is such a great idea. I love eye bobs but I can’t spend much on readers since I need the real thing (and they are a fortune). What a great idea to read that book before your Maine trip. Can’t wait to hear about it. You guys are going to have so much fun!!
Mary Ann Pickett says
They make prescription glasses too. I think I am headed for those soon!
Linda Salazar says
I will have to check out the sale an Anthropologie. I have been using the Strivectin neck cream but I really don’t see any change in the crepy texture so I might have to give the oil a try! Happy Sunday!
Linda
Mary Ann Pickett says
Let me know how you like the face oil, Linda!
