Are we ever satisfied with the makeup we have or the routine, or are you always looking for better? More Illuminating? Creamier, Age-defying? I do like to try new makeup and foundations from time to time, and I am all for watching YouTube for some tips. Today I will share some new products I am trying for 2019 and letting you know my thoughts on each.
Hi FriendsSugar cookies, fancy cocktails, chocolate. My mom used to make Buckeyes, those melt in your mouth, chocolately peanut butter balls of goodness. Hungry yet? I know all of these tasty confections can derail healthy habits, but I don't believe in depriving myself during the Holiday Season either. I have always loved baking cookies with my mom and enjoying them. I think balance is the best way to stay in shape during the season of sweet treats. So, moderation is key.
Hello ladies!I don't consider myself high maintenance, but there are things I think make me feel good and are good grooming practices. I was invited by Idolize Brow and Beauty, in Charlotte, for a day to see their new location, spa and get a few treatments. It's a great time to treat yourself to something relaxing!
Happy Friday my friends!Well, this is perhaps what I should be asking you! I think it is one of those wonderful powers of Menopause, the problem of insomnia. I take meds to sleep, but would prefer other methods to try and that is why I wrote about it. Sleep is so important, Dr. Buxton, a neuroscientist, in the Division of Sleep Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, says that sleep can be disrupted by both medical causes and environmental. If you have restless leg, or sleep apnea, it is best to see a physician for this type of sleep disorders. " However, I feel the day to day, lack of sleep, often from worry, loud noises ( planes over head ( we have this) or excessive caffeine are some things we may be able to control. Making our living space very peaceful and comfortable is one way.
Morning friends!By now, I imagine you have heard of Soft Surroundings? I have collaborated with them before HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. I love the philosophy of the brand. "that by putting yourself first, you can take better care of friends, family and community to live a happier, more fulfilling life." Isn't that the truth? I also love that Soft Surroundings has "softness ratings" 1-3, 3 being the most soft, and that is something I appreciate with clothing and bedding. I was invited by Soft Surroundings to check out the store in Charlotte, NC. This is a sponsored post for Soft Surroundings.
Happy Friday Ladies!Well, it is hard to believe we are in August already! Lots of family plans/obligations in the Fall months and we are planing a trip in October! I think everyone needs a holiday, as it certainly helps with our mental health and enjoyment in life! Today I thought, since summer is still here, and we are still wearing bathing suits, that I would talk about body positivity after 50.
You know me. My hair. I joke with my hubby with talk of a morbid sarcastic nature, What would people say about me? "Well, she had great hair!". Kidding, kidding. I had an interesting discussion with my hair stylist the other day. Why do women over 40+ feel that they need to go shorter with their hair?
Happy Friday!Last year I wrote a post about How to Buy Sunglasses for Your Face Shape, today, I am talking about buying prescription sunglasses on-line. It does help to know you face shape, as what might be the most flattering on you.My mom and i recently had a discussion about glasses, as she went to get her glacoma surgery. She said she could do with just "readers" and both her and I agreed that we were so used to ourselves with glasses on! I have been wearing glasses since 4th grade, at the age of 10, so to me, I look strange without my spectacles!
