My NEW Blog Design & A Giveaway to Celebrate

December 25, 2013

I want to start this post with a Merry Christmas to all of my friends and family!  I appreciate each and every one of you.  You all make my heart happy!  I hope that all of your holiday wishes came true.

As you may know, I love to change things around and organize things on a pretty regular basis.  I think my life is always a work in progress.  I’ve been blogging for about 3 years now and decided to change up my blog design (once again) for the new year.  As always, I hired Jenn from Munchkin Land Designs to help me create or re-create my vision.  This time I wanted something simple, clean and easy to read with an air of sophistication.  Let me know what you think of my new design.

So, with this new blog design comes a giveaway.  I LOVE doing giveaways and this gives me a great reason to do one. One of my favorite things to give away is an Amazon gift card.  I feel like I can buy nearly anything at all that I might need on Amazon.com.  I also love buying their gift cards because I can send them to recipients via email with just the click of the mouse.

The only requirements for this giveaway are:
1.  Leave a comment on this post.
2.  Follow my blog.
3.  Like my blog on Facebook (for an extra entry).
Thanks for stopping by!!
Good Luck!


a Rafflecopter giveaway
*I paid for the Amazon gift card that I am giving away with my own money

Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordst Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 💛 

After trying on a dozen dresses, these two made the cut (I’m 5’1” and 60 years old) as well as this gorgeous new bag that I couldn’t resist. Classic, versatile, and a little fun—just how I like it!

✨ Which look is your favorite? Tell me in the comments and let me know if you’re shopping the sale too!

Bonus, both dresses are under $100 and I know I’ll wear them for a long time to come. Let me know if you want the links.💖

At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — and a weighted vest. Adding this simple tool to my daily walk is already making a difference in how I feel, move, and show up for myself.

Here’s why women over 50 might want to give it a try:
1️⃣ Supports Bone Health: Extra weight = gentle resistance = stronger bones = less chance of fractures in the future.
2️⃣ Improves Muscle Tone & Posture: Great for balance and core strength.
3️⃣ Burns More Calories: A simple walk becomes a low-impact strength workout.
P.S. It’s great for men & women of all ages!💪🏼

It’s never too late to level up your wellness routine. And you can get the benefits while doing your house chores, going up and down stairs, gardening, etc. for even more opportunities to improve bone density.

Do you walk with a weighted vest too? I’d love to hear how it’s helped you!

Comment LINK for more information on this particular vest and why I purchased it after a lot of research.💗 (be sure to follow to receive my message with the link).⚠️

I couldn’t resist this audio! It’s been in my I couldn’t resist this audio! It’s been in my back pocket for a while just waiting for the right moment to use it.😂😂

We all want what we don’t have… I’ve always wanted straight thin hair, but my genetics decided that wasn’t in the cards.

Anyway, this root touch up powder is my new best friend for covering my grays roots between salon touch ups (which happen more frequently these days).😅

It’s a clean beauty formula too! Let me know if you want a link to purchase it for yourself. It’s available in 5 different shades. I’m using the medium brown.

By the way, I turned 60 years old a few months ago and love sharing beauty, fashion, life stuff and my travels. If that sounds like something you’re interested in, then follow my account and let’s be midlife friends. It’s harder to find friends at this stage in our lives and this platform is where I’ve found some of my besties.💗💗
