A Tribute to My Mom

November 5, 2014

This post is a tribute to my mom.  As I write this post it is Tuesday evening.  This is the evening that my mother passed away just 2 years ago.  I will probably remember the exact minute that it happened forever.  I miss her more than words can ever express.  The death of a loved one makes us realize what really matters in life.  My moto has always been to “take the time to smell the roses,” do what you love, and to be kind to others.

When my mom passed away I started a group that sends cards (store-bought or handmade) to those who might be suffering from cancer or another illness.  It’s designed to bring a smile to the face of someone who needs it.  Please go to my site and sign up to send cards.  And even more importantly, sign someone up to RECEIVE cards.  I have the hardest time finding people to send the cards to even though I have over 100 people ready and willing to send the cards.

So as you go through the days of your lives ahead I say to:

  • Hug your loved ones
  • Tell them that you care
  • Live without regrets
  • Take chances
  • Spread kindness
  • Leave a legacy
  • Smile more

What would you add to my list above?  I’d LOVE it if you could share this post on all of your social media sites and help me with my project.  Thanks so much!!

    thoughts as you go through this difficult day and time! May the memories soon become sweeter as time passes. I have lost 3 grandmas (2 were grandma in laws but still close like grandma!) and 1 one grandfather. I have not lost a parent so I cannot feel your pain. Whether the pain be fresh or old it can still tear apart the soul! Praying for you!

    It is hard to believe that it has been 2 years already, my thoughts are with you today. I too have lost a parent but it helps knowing they are always there in your heart.

Sharing is caring so I decided to share the things Sharing is caring so I decided to share the things I bought and recommend from this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I mostly bought clothes this year.

Comment for the links along with a few things I bought that are currently out of stock, but may be back before the sale ends.

I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good beauty products that work well for my mature skin in hopes that others will discover them too.

Be sure to let me know if there’s anything you’ve been loving lately too.💖

Today I’m including:
•a body makeup product that helps cover, disguise and blur my dark spots from sun damage from too many years spent in the sun.

•an at-home FDA cleared fractional laser to improve the appearance of my skin and even help get rid of some of those dark spots. I’m using it nightly.

•a beautiful pink lipstick that is like happiness in a tube

•an excellent facial spf product that protects my skin when I’m outdoors. I purchased mine when I was in France.

•some tasty gummy supplements I’ve been using including a multivitamin and a gummy prebiotic and probiotic combo to keep my gut happy

•and a balm that works great for keeping my skin hydrated that I like to dab under my eyes and on the lines above my lips because hydration helps make fine lines look better/less obvious when I look in the mirror.
We had a baby shower for my daughter this weekend We had a baby shower for my daughter this weekend and I wore this gorgeous dress that was perfect for celebrating my next grandson. I felt like the accessories complemented my outfit perfectly.

I’m feeling blessed and I hope you’re feeling the same as we kick off a new month.🩷

Guess what? Get ready for the day doesn’t have to Guess what? Get ready for the day doesn’t have to be time consuming or complicated. I can apply my makeup for a natural look in under 10 minutes and then I’m out the door. 

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

All of the products used in today’s Friday Finds are new to me in the last few weeks and work well for my mature skin. Let me know if you want DETAILS on anything you see here.🤩

I’ve learned that fine lines and dry skin don’t ha I’ve learned that fine lines and dry skin don’t have to be part of my everyday look. #OlayPartner 

I’ve been using the Olay Micro-Sculpting Cream, and I love how hydrated, smooth and refreshed my skin looks and feels. Our skin changes as we age and keeping it moisturized with effective ingredients is one of the simplest ways I keep mine looking firmer, smoother, healthier and more radiant at 61 years old.

The @olay Micro-Sculpting Cream has triple collagen peptides, niacinamide and pro-vitamin B5 to support younger looking skin.

If you’re looking for dramatic results without taking drastic measures, then this is a moisturizer you will be impressed with. It layers beautifully under makeup and delivers lasting hydration.

Comment your skincare goals and save this reel for your next beauty shopping trip.♥️

If you’ve been around here for a while, you already know I can never resist a great lip product. 😄 Whether it’s a creamy lipstick, a glossy finish, or the perfect everyday nude, these are the ones I keep reaching for again and again.

A great lip color has a way of pulling my whole look together in seconds, and these favorites have definitely earned a permanent spot in my makeup bag.

If you’re looking for the best lipsticks for women over 50, that include long-lasting lipstick, hydrating lip products, or everyday favorites, I hope this gives you a few new ideas to try!

Now I have to know…👇

💋 What’s the one lip product you refuse to leave the house without? Bonus points if you tell me the shade—I might have to add it to my ever-growing collection! 😍
