Vivéa Signature Set Review: Cooling, Gentle Skincare for Perimenopausal & Menopausal Skin

Just before Christmas 2025, I joined a local networking group for women in business. One of the members owns Vivéa® Skincare – a skincare company that focuses on one aspect of being a woman: menopause.

You Can Do Magic by R.L. Merrill

As part of the blog tour I was lucky enough to receive an ARC (Advance Reader Copy) of R.L. Merrill’s You Can Do Magic. There’s a little something for everyone in this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The book is part of the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries Series.
