Midlife beauty, health tips, skincare reviews and advice for women over 40

Fashion Flash – May 3, 2021

May 3, 2021

Hi Friends! I hope you’re all doing well. I know that many of us had tons of April showers that will hopefully bring us all beautiful May flowers. Speaking of which, I’ve been taking walks through my local nature center and botanical gardens looking for the beauty of mother nature to practice my photography skills. I’m posting a few of my favorite photos below for you to enjoy too.

Being outside on a daily basis has been a real necessity for me lately (more so than usual). I haven’t been feeling my best and have been working through things with my general practitioner and a cardiologist. I think we’ve determined that my problem is sleep apnea. I’m going to do another post here on my blog soon about this topic because I’ve done ALL the research. In addition, this is something that affects a large percentage of post menopausal women, so I think you’ll be interested to hear about it since we’re mostly women over 40 around here.

This week’s Fashion Flash Newsletter

Enough about that… I’m happy to share that I’m hosting this week’s Fashion Flash newsletter post here on my blog. This is a weekly roundup type of post from top women bloggers who are all over the age of 40. We talk about many different topics that are of interest to women including beauty, lifestyle, health, fashion and so much more. Please see below for this week’s fantastic posts. Please show some love to these wonderful ladies by visiting their posts. In addition, it would be fantastic if you could use the little sharing buttons for social media at the bottom of this post to spread the word. Thanks so much!

    OMG, Stacie! Your photos look award worthy! And I’ve been hearing about how important it is for body, mind and spirit to be out in nature…and even to just look at it. So my conclusion is that it is healthy for us all to look at your pictures. 😉 Thanks for sharing – Angie, http://www.yourtrueselfblog.com

Are you going to a wedding or another special even Are you going to a wedding or another special event this summer? This dress with the embroidered flowers and lace is a beautiful option.

It’s technically a midi, but more maxi on me because I’m a petite 5’1”. Available in 2 color options and lots more similar styles. And there’s even a warehouse sale happening right now with dresses starting at $39.

Let me know if you want the link with sizing details and discount code.💙💚

*Thank you @maggylondon for this gorgeous dress!
Happy new month friends! I’m sharing a cute outfit Happy new month friends! I’m sharing a cute outfit that’s perfect for a summer day of running my errands. My new large terry cloth tote is so fun and unique. It’s great for travel or even a day at the beach too.

Anybody traveling for the 4th of July weekend? We’re going to our usual destination where we hang with our kids and grandkids to enjoy the celebration which means I will be busy today getting ready to go.🎆

😎 Be sure to check out the fun quilted tote. Comment for the LINK.👜

Thank you @seamariedesigns for the beautiful bag!
Dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in one of Dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in one of my favorite vacation places wearing one of my favorite dresses with my most favorite person in the world. 

Scroll to the right to see the back of this gorgeous pleated dress that packs into a little pouch making it travel friendly. It’s currently on sale too!☀️

Comment for the LINK.

The maxi dress has a raw hem so it’s super easy to cut without having to get it hemmed. That worked out perfectly for me and my petite 5’1” height. I cut 3 inches off the bottom of the dress and now it fits me exactly how I like it. I love the color too!

I’m loving the back of the dress so I thought I’d share it in a video when we were walking back from the restaurant after dinner. The restaurant is called Hacienda and it’s by the marina in Cabo. We’ve been going there for years. This trip we went there for brunch too and it was excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner if you’re ever in Cabo.
Beach vacation makeup is all about looking fresh, Beach vacation makeup is all about looking fresh, glowy, and effortless. ☀️🌴

*Let me know if you want DETAILS on what I used.*

Whether I’m spending days or nights by the water, I skip the heavy, full-coverage products and reach for lightweight favorites that let my skin breathe while still giving me that healthy, radiant glow.

Think: sheer coverage, a touch of bronzer, creamy blush, and plenty of luminosity. The goal isn’t a perfect makeup look—it’s looking like the best version of yourself while enjoying every minute of vacation.

Are you a full-face-on-vacation girl, or do you keep your makeup light and simple when you’re at the beach? Tell me below! ⬇️

We always have our favorite restaurants that we go We always have our favorite restaurants that we go to when we’re in Cabo. Toro is one of them and I finally started making my husband take a picture out front these last few years. Swipe to see the previous years and read the captions for each slide to see what I love about this restaurant… ➡️

(Separate picture captions is a new Instagram feature if you didn’t already know that)

I love that they have live music playing out on the patio almost every time we’re there. The band was exceptional this time. They played cover songs and sounded amazing.🎶

The food is excellent. I love that they have some vegetarian options. I always get their delicious beet salad. This time I also got the vegetarian empanadas and had a big scoop of mashed potatoes which were heavenly with crisped parmesan cheese on top.😋
My travel outfit requirements are comfy, put-toget My travel outfit requirements are comfy, put-together,  layered pieces that can easily be added or subtracted depending on the weather or air conditioning situation.

This outfit checked all the boxes for my flight to Cabo, brunch and a few hours of looking at real estate. 

@coldwatercreek has some great options for layering any time of year. And I must admit, I’m kind of obsessed with this linen jacket. I might need to add another color.😉
