My favorite products

I'm no Oprah....but I do have a list of some of my favorite "products" to share. .....here they are. Not in order:

Kiehl's hand and body, aloe vera & oatmeal lotion. This is the best! I forgot how much I loved it-until I replenished last week. Great for hands, feet, elbows and legs. Won't leave you greasy or over scented. 

Trish McEvoy black curling mascara. I've used this for 13+ years. It goes on like butter. And, it comes off with soap and water. You don't need to scrub and you don't need make up remover. 

Senna golden brown eyebrow gel. Sometimes my brows get dull and drab. This product helps shape them and give them a nice color lift. I know it sounds weird, but it really is good stuff. Lasts a long time too!

Skinceuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair. I suffer from chapped lips every winter. I have 10 different chapsticks, and nothing has truly solved the issue. Until I found this! It has saved me all winter. Doesn't smell. Isn't sticky? And, really has repaired and prevented chapped lips. It was expensive for what it is BUT worth every penny if you suffer like me! It's a cream...you can use it on and around your lips.

Nars orgasm blush. I think it's ranked #1 in the country....not just because it has a catchy name...but because it looks good on everyone. Whether I'm pale or tan-a little of this makes it all come together. 

Priori mineral skincare loose powder/foundation. Lasts about 2 years. You can use it to set foundation OR it can be foundation alone because it gives nice coverage by itself. I love this stuff. I don't use Bobby Brown powder anymore. This also has SPF!

Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Peppermint Pure-Castle Bar Soap. This soap comes with me when I travel because it feels like home. It's gentle and fresh. Wakes you up in the am. Isn't drying isn't overly scented, and we love it!

Trish McEvoy flawless lip primer. I'm out of it, and I forgot how much I love this stuff. Why? Because I rarely re-apply lipstick or gloss because I forget. This helps anchor your lip color. Good stuff. 

Smith's Rosebud Salve or strawberry

Moroccan Oil

Senna Dusk lipstick. Wore it on my wedding day. I've bought so many lipsticks since that day, and I'm pretty sure this is as close to perfect as I'm going to get with a good color. I'm always on a quest, and then I always end up wearing Dusk. 

Enjoy!

Nothing Gold Can Stay

I have been thinking about this famous Robert Frost quote for years, but the significance of it has picked up over the past several months. "Nothing gold can stay". Four words with such true and raw intensity. Things keep moving forward. Nothing can stay as they are. Especially age.  Today marks my 50th birthday. A half a century. The age that my mom was when I thought she was old. And, now-here I am. I remember a decade ago like it was yesterday, yet I can’t seem to remember what I did two days ago. I remember my first day of kindergarten (I wore red), but I have minimal recollection of last week. Clearly, the short-term memory can’t stay! Nothing gold can stay. Including my 40s. This past decade has been life-changing. Then again wouldn’t every 10 years of a life naturally be? 10 years. From 19-20, I was a rising junior in college (the same age as my oldest child now). And, when I was 29-30 I was pregnant. From 30-40, we raised babies into little kids. From 40-50 kids to te

To my first born who is about to leave for college

If you had been born on your due date, I would not be writing this. Why? Because you would have missed the cut-off, and you would be entering your Senior year in high school. Not Freshman year of college. But, you made the cut-off, and in two weeks, you will be spreading your wings as you enter the next chapter of your life. College. Over the past year as we entered the college application process, I have been running your life's timeline over and over again in my mind. Savoring, holding onto, and remembering the moments big and small. I keep trying to get those actual feels that I had in those actual moments, and sometimes I can actually feel that time. And, while it is hard to put it into actual words, that is how I have been processing this big life-changing experience, my son. You came into my life on August 20, 2003, at 36 weeks. And, you lived your first few weeks of life in the NICU. With every passing day, all I could think about was the time that was cutting into my matern

I am coming clean...

My name is Kimberly Tucker Kutnick. And, on February 8, 2021, I had bariatric (gastric bypass) surgery.  I am coming clean.  It's been over a year, and I am ready.  I have written and re-written this so many times because I wasn't sure I was going to post this. Or, how I was going to tee it up (that sounds so corporate America of me). But, a friend once told me that my superpower is writing. So, here I go. First, I want to clear myths. Bariatric surgery is not only for people with morbid obesity. More people who are not morbidly obese have the surgery vs. those who are morbidly obese. My BMI was "obese", but I was not categorized as morbidly obese.  Secondly, this is not the easy way out. This is not a "solution". This is a tool. This is one of the most challenging things I have ever endured. When you hear the expression "It takes a village"...for bariatric it certainly does...I have a team that consists of a surgeon, psychiatrist, therapist, di
