The smart way to look younger

I admit it; I’m guilty of keeping old bronzers, not washing my make up brushes often enough, and de-clumping mascara with a comb (yes really).  I know that these decisions are NOT smart for me or my skin, but between endless make up counters and glitzy, celebrity-filled commercials, I get a bit overwhelmed!  Luckily, a new, unique store opened in the heart of Doylestown to help me make smart choices, feel smart and of course, look smart. Owner Robin Salerno opened Smart Cosmetic Studio & chose the name for a reason. She wants women to make smart makeup choices. Her goal is to provide professional advice to make you look and feel great. (more…)

Save the tatas!

October is all about pumpkins and Halloween but it also is the time to think pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month. It is easy to show support by simply wearing pink throughout the month. The Eagles were seen this past Sunday sporting their pink gloves and cleats. (Of course, it is also red October for the Phillies!)

So many number people have been affected by this disease one way or another. Luckily, though, there are a variety of ways to support the cause in our own community & help in the continuing fight against breast cancer. Since this month marks the official Breast Cancer Awareness month, Bucks Happening put together a guide including events, support groups, and general information about breast cancer. So many great events are happening throughout Bucks County so you can help support the cause!

Preserving History with the Plumstead Historical Society

Painting by Lyn Dimmig

I have always believed in trying to preserve the past by saving what you can of historical assets. Many old and historical buildings and farms that use to dot the Bucks County Landscape are slowly disappearing to make way for large developments. Once these places are gone they can never be replaced and that part of our history is lost forever. If we could start to save just one historical site at a time we might be able to hold on to what is left of the past.

The Plumstead Historical Society was founded in 2006 by a group of Plumstead citizens who wanted to preserve the rich heritage of the Plumstead Township area.  Plumstead Township is a small community of about 11,000 people just outside of Doylestown. (more…)

Recap: Barcamp Doylestown

Tonight (well, by the time many of you read this, it will be “last night”), BH participated in the first-ever Barcamp Doylestown.  Never heard of a Barcamp?  Neither had we, until our friend Barry Peters looped us in. A Barcamp, otherwise known as an “UNconference,” is a crowd-sourced get together of people getting together to share ideas and information.  A little less structured than a conference, a little more structured than a happy hour or networking event.  (more…)
