New Year, New Me

January 9, 2025

It’s never too early or too late to make changes in your life. For most of us though, the start of the new year feels like the right time to change our ways in some aspect of our lives for the better. It means different things to each of us. One person may want to get organized, while another may want to lose weight. The new year is an ideal time to turn the page and breathe new life into our daily routines. Who’s ready for a change? (I’m over here raising my hand, btw)

We can all step bravely into 2025 vowing to make changes that fill our days with excitement and motivation. Whether it’s finally picking up that paintbrush, or lacing up those walking shoes, or exploring exotic cuisines in the kitchen, every day can be a new adventure. Think of this new year as a perfect canvas, waiting for you to color it with your dreams and desires. We all have the potential to realize our dreams and goals if we’re committed.

new year, new you

If you happen to be looking to make changes this year, I have some recommendations of products that might help you on your journey. I’m over here cheering you on as you become the best version of yourself this year. Remember, take baby steps and 12 months from now you’ll be so proud of your accomplishments.

Beautiful new dresses for Spring and Summer… I l Beautiful new dresses for Spring and Summer… 

I love this beautiful new print with the gold foil and I love that there are options in the fabric. The cotton is lightweight and lovely and the Jude cloth feels amazing and is a workhorse because it doesn’t wrinkle, even when worn all day.

You can’t go wrong with either dress. Which style is your favorite?🤩

Let me know if you want size details and LINKS along with my DISCOUNT CODE!💖

If you think us ladies of “a certain age” are too If you think us ladies of “a certain age” are too old for matte lipstick, then it’s a good thing this video landed in your feed! The new Colour Riche Blurred Matte Lipstick from @lorealparis is nothing like those terrible mattes of the past that dried out our lips and emphasized lip lines and wrinkles.

Available in 10 different shades, their new formula glides on smoothly like a balm and hydrates. It blurs out the appearance of the lines in my lips and just helps me feel more confident.

I’m wearing #590 🍓Blushing Berry🍓 Are you ready to try it?

They also have a matching stretch denim jacket that I have on my wish list. You can see a few more of my favorite pieces from this brand in my feed.

I’m 5’1” wearing size small in both pieces. The embellished pearl stud stretch denim jeans are cropped on others but longer on me so they’re definitely petite friendly which is a win!💗
