* Rules For Being a Girl by Candace Bushnell & Katie Cotugno This might seem a little bit silly to say considering I’m 45 years old and referring to YA (young adult) literature, complete with teen angst and problems I left behind almost 30 years ago… BUT OMG THIS BOOK WAS INCREDIBLE! Okay, incredible might …
I’m a strict believer that beauty and wellness care must start from within. This belief is handed down from my mother, who was considered a “health nut” by the standards of her time (70s/early 80s) when it wasn’t so widely accepted or understood even. When once on a trip with the family when I was …
I saw this short film on Instagram the other day and watched it at least 5 times before sharing it on my stories as well… you’ve probably seen it by now because within a few days it’s gone viral… and well it should because it’s so absolutely on point you just want to see it …
What I’m Wearing… * Faux Leather bomber jacket (from a few years ago) I linked to a similar one that’s $21 but I can’t vouch for quality, though it’s cute! Mine is thick and lined and warm enough to wear in the snow, though I can’t find it available anywhere (in an affordable price). * …
This post is sponsored by Exuviance® Lovecats! Here’s my update on my Exuviance® #MyAHAPeel Challenge & the results and benefits I’m seeing so far! A few weeks ago I joined the Exuviance® Performance Peel AP25 Challenge (check out my first post about it here), and now that I’ve been using the product and am halfway …
This post is sponsored by Exuviance® I’m Doing the Exuviance® #MyAHAPeel Challenge! Lovecats! I’ve partnered with Exuviance® and will be using their Performance Peel AP25, and I’m super excited about it… but I’m a little bit nervous about it too! I’ve never done a skin peel of any kind before, I don’t really have an …
This interview with Jamie Lee Curtis popped up in my inbox the other day and I had to share. I know I have a really diverse group of women who stop by here to read this blog – HI 🙂 …from teens and twenty-somethings to women in their 50’s, ’60’s, and ’70s and beyond, and …
Why are we so afraid of aging? It happens to all of us, no matter what, from the time we are born and every day after… we are aging. Is it because we are afraid of death and aging is a sign that we are getting closer to the finality of life? But what about …
A few weeks ago Helena (from BrooklynBlonde.com) shared a similar jade roller on her Insta Stories and I was so intrigued, I hopped right over to Amazon and bought one. As obsessed as I am with my foam roller to massage out the kinks in my back and legs, which I’ve used nearly every night …
I love a great fashion documentary. Really, I love any great documentary, period. But for obvious reasons, I gravitate toward fashion documentaries, as many of you may too. But if you generally don’t, I’d like to suggest these three to you… for more than just fashion and an inside look at the fashion industry, but …
As I near my 37th birthday, I’m noticing my fine lines becoming deeper crevices by the day, and they’ve got me thinking more about injectables. I daydream about filling my forehead lines up with Botox and making them disappear, but the thought that follows is one of terror… so I’m looking for a little feedback …
The only time I really find myself wishing I were younger, is when I feel too old to wear certain styles. Yes I was part of the original 90’s grunge era, and it was fun, but this new grungy style mix, and what I’m referring to as Music Festival Mainstream: 60’s Flower Child meets 70’s …
* see my full outfit post w/details here *Because I don’t feel any older than I did when I was in my early twenties {though hopefully I have learned a thing or two since then}, I find myself reminding myself that I am actually 36 years old on a pretty frequent basis. As I apply …
Now that I’m working from home full time, I rarely put makeup on unless I’m going out {and even then, on occasion, I don’t}. However, I’ve noticed this lack of getting ready in the morning before I go to work — even if it is just in the other room — sort of makes me …
When I was young I truly thought lines and wrinkles that accumulated on women’s faces were signs of a life well-lived. With every crease there represented a memory of fun & happiness, or hardship & sorrow and each were to be looked upon as beautiful, graceful, & well-earned. I thought a woman should be proud …
