2023 Word of the Year

December 30, 2022

Can you believe it’s about to be 2023??!! What a fast year 2022 was (I think I say that every year). For the past 7 or 8 years or so, I’ve chosen a “word of the year”. My word is something that I focus on to make myself better. It took me a while to come up with my word for 2023 and I’ve decided that it’s going to be ACTION. I like this word because it can be applied to so many different aspects of my life.

my word for 2023

Action: noun

  • the process or state of acting or of being active
  • something done or performed; act; deed
  • an act that one consciously wills and that may be characterized by physical or mental activity
  • actions, habitual or usual acts; conduct
  • energetic activity

Goals for my word for 2023

I plan to take action on the things that I want to achieve instead saying that I’m going to do something. We all know how that is, don’t we?

I will take the action to purge my closets down to be more minimalist.

I will take action to organize drawers, shelves, etc so that I don’t waste time looking for things because I will actually know where they are.

I will take action to volunteer somewhere on a regular basis. I used to be a member of my local Lion’s Club and found the work that we did very rewarding, but I want to find something that speaks to me more.

I will take action to plan out my content for my blog and social media instead of always flying by the seat of my pants. My inner self is a procrastinator and it’s a trait that I’m not exactly proud of.

I’m going to do a blog redesign and take action to recommit myself to posting more regularly. Social media is fun, but our blogs are something that we actually have full ownership of. I always feel refreshed and more energized with a new design (I’ve had a blog since 2012).

I will take action to complete the online courses that I signed myself up for. I started taking a skincare course and a photography course. They’re both really good, but I need to set aside the time to spend on learning.

I’m sure there will be many more situations that will come up throughout the year that will need my action. I plan to be keep the word at the front of my mind and form better habits.

getting ready for action

Do you set a word for yourself with each new year? If so, what’s your word for 2023?

Once I start talking about something that I’m pa Once I start talking about something that I’m passionate and excited about, I just don’t stop. That’s why I decided to post some long-form videos on YouTube (where I started my journey back in 2010).

I love makeup, skincare and anything beauty. I also love clothes, jewelry, handbags and accessories. That’s what I mostly share over there. 

I hope you’ll join me over there with your morning coffee. I plan to post once a week (on Fridays) for now. 

Let me know if you want the LINK to this week’s video (also link in my profile). I’m pretty proud of it, if I do say so myself.😉

For this week’s video, I shared what I packed in my vacation makeup bag (I kept it extra light) and also few outfits that I wore (most items are on sale).

July favorites photo dump… These are some of t July favorites photo dump… 

These are some of the clothing and accessories that I loved wearing and sharing with you throughout the month of July. And apparently, all of you loved them too!💖💖

These are some of my favorites and bestsellers for women over 50, 60 and beyond. I always say to wear what makes you happy and not what society dictates.  Because if you love what you’re wearing then you’ll feel your best, boost your confidence and achieve your goals.

Age is just a number! Who’s with me?😎

Let me know if you want LINKS to any of these outfits with sizing details.💖

I’m all about affordable fashion (most of the time😉) and shopping the best sales and deals. If that sounds like you too, then give me a follow for lots more.🥰

Happy Monday! I’m back from vacation and already Happy Monday! I’m back from vacation and already dreaming about the next one.

There’s nothing like getting back into the swing of things right away and today’s casual swing dress and jewelry are perfect for the meetings and appointments I have.

But first… a walk with my weighted vest because I actually missed it while I was away. 

Let me know if you’d like the LINKS. The dress is on sale in limited sizes and I have a discount code for the beautiful jewelry.

Have a great week friends!💗
