Wish I’d have known – life at 20
SO much happening and it’s all SO important! What can I tell you that you don’t think you already know? I say that tongue in cheek but not without more than just a few grains of truth and a whole lot of love.

Inspiration vs Reality – Wk 1
Welcome to the inaugural (and perhaps final) episode in my new series Inspiration vs Reality where I take a makeup look created by one of the artists or influencers that I follow on Instagram and do my best to replicate it on my 57 yr old face using the products that I have already in…

Taking Care of Your Self
How are you at self-care? What I’ve found over time, is that there are a lot of people in my age group who really struggle with self-care and many others who don’t believe in it at all. Obviously I can’t and wouldn’t dictate what is “right” for anyone else but I know how much better…

I keep talking about how these days are hard mostly because they really are hard. Really. Hard! Not to project too much here but I’ve found getting up, just getting up, almost too much on some days. When one day flows into the next with no opportunity to partake of the usual “out” activities that…

Remember Travelling?
Remember traveling? That ever-so-awesome opportunity to explore other countries, cultures, foods, geographies; the chance to remind yourself that you are one small prism in this beautiful kaleidoscope that is Planet Earth. I miss it SO much.

One Year
Everything has changed in this last year. Everything. Conspiracy theories aside, you cannot deny the long-range impact this pandemic will have on society; hopefully some good but so much sorrowful damage has been done.
