Gurls, I recently had a reader ask me to share the skincare products I’m actually using right now, and I thought, “Well, you asked for it.” Lol! My routine is not exactly cleanser, moisturizer, and out the door. I started following this particular skincare schedule back in May, and I’ve tried to be consistent with...
Gurls, today is officially the first day of fall, but depending on where you live, the weather may not have gotten the memo. The morning may have you reaching for a sweater, and by afternoon, you’re wondering why you didn’t just wear short sleeves. That in-between weather is exactly why I like lightweight fall pieces..
Apparently, crossbody bags have entered the same danger zone as skinny jeans and ankle socks. Lol! I’ve recently started seeing younger women refer to crossbody bags as an “old woman” bag, and naturally, that got my attention. I happen to own quite a few crossbody bags, and I’m certainly not planning to gather them all
I love sweater weather. Itchy sweater weather? Not so much. There are few things more annoying than putting on a beautiful sweater and spending the rest of the day scratching your neck, tugging at the sleeves, or wondering how something that looked so cozy on the hanger suddenly feels like sandpaper. At this age, I...
Have you ever held on to something so tightly that you didn’t realize it was actually holding on to you? Maybe it was money, a possession, a grudge, a worry, or even a plan for how you thought your life was supposed to turn out. We tell ourselves that we can’t possibly let go because...
Fall sporting events sound wonderful in theory. Crisp air, changing leaves, Friday night lights, and a few hours outside cheering on somebody you love. The reality can be a little different. You’re sitting on a cold metal bleacher, the sun is directly in your eyes, the temperature has dropped 15 degrees since you left
Gurls, I stopped by Chico’s recently to see what was new for fall, and apparently, brown had taken over the store while I wasn’t looking. Lol. Chocolate brown, camel, burgundy, paisley, dark denim…it was all there. That actually worked out well for me because these are the kinds of colors and pieces I can see...
Winter skin is just different. Once the temperature drops and the heat starts running inside, my skin can start feeling drier and tighter than it does during warmer months. I notice it most when my face feels uncomfortable after cleansing or when makeup starts emphasizing dry areas that normally don’t bother me. I use
Have you ever wondered how long you are going to live? I don’t mean in a morbid way. I mean, if the Lord offered to tell you the exact number of your days, would you want to know? At first, I thought I might. There is something about knowing that feels comforting, and I’m a...
Hi friends, it’s Stephanie, Tania’s daughter-in-law! I love a good pair of jeans as much as anyone, but sometimes I just don’t want to wear them. Maybe I’m going to be sitting for several hours, running errands all day, or I simply want something a little softer around the waist. Surely I’m not the only...
Getting dressed for a casual fall dinner sounds like it should be easy. Then you start wondering exactly how casual “casual” is. Are we talking jeans? A dress? Do I need a blazer? If you’ve ever wondered what fall dinner outfits over 50 should actually look like, you’re certainly not alone. And if Joe is...
I’ve always had a soft spot for pumpkin season. Years ago, there was a pumpkin farm near us that sold pumpkins so cheaply that I told Joe I wanted to cover our entire front yard with them. His solution was to send the dump truck. Lol. We ended up with around 100 pumpkins scattered all...
