Thank God It's Tuesday! A lot of time was spent with the mirror, mirror on the wall at TJ Maxx this weekend, which produced only a few purchases and many noticeable blackheads.

Tabloids tell us we'll know for sure soon, but we do know is spring is in full swing and bonus points for you if you've already done a seasonal swap of the ol' curtains if you're anything like me over here. This week, there's a lot of nostalgia in the building thinking of the thriving mall era of the past and Easter Sundays spent doing kid things vs. cheffing it up like Martha Stewart sans-Pyrex glass margarita in hand.

The Brunette Buttonista, Ft. Ashley Austin of Urbane Beauty Co.

Two Buttons Deep — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Thank God It's Tuesday! Not sure what was more dramatic in Buttonista-land this past week, the unexpected hair transformation from blonde to brunette OR the false alarm of a broken toe. Things are good as can be though with a vacation on the horizon and hopefully a halfway decent bathing suit that will arrive on time, no thanks to Khloe Kardashian....

Listen to the latest episode to catch up on the latest happenings and for an interview with Ashley Austin, the owner of Urbane Beauty Co. and a certified injectable enthusiast.

Thank God It's Tuesday but, um, don't thank God for the ironically odd start the Buttonista's new life has gotten off to with Instagram and Facebook being down the day a full-time role doing social media begins. But despite that, the Buttonista's schedule is jam packed with a whole lotta new, from a new podcast studio setup with all the latest equipment, to the pre-my-best-friend's-wedding-jitters hence the loss of the train of thought here and there throughout the show. Follow along if you can...sip a Miller for some liquid courage and support.

Don't mind the Buttonista just crying some HAPPY TEARS over here on the latest episode of the podcast! Maybe it's the end-of-summer emotions running high, or maybe it's the big announcement about halfway through the show, but there is a major sense of excitement in the air as we say au revoir to summer and welcome fall...when the time is right, OK?!?! Settle in and kick off the pre-fall vibes and feel free to laugh, cry, learn and look forward to a whole bunch of stuff as we approach the latter half of 2021. Let's go, girls!

And don't forget, you can still get tickets to this Friday's "Off the Mask" event to support NAMI-NYS where I will be co-hosting the fashion show with Capital Region broadcast legend Benita Zahn.
