What Am I Reading? – May 2014

May 20, 2014

I always have such high hopes that I’m going to relax with a good book.  My intentions are always good, however everything else in my life seems to get in the way.  Not in a bad way.  I’m just not very good at unplugging from technology long enough to enjoy a good book.  But that doesn’t stop me from trying!  I’ve bought a few books in the past few months.  Here are the ones I’ve chosen:

Books I'm Reading - May

Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand*

I just saw this one at Walmart while strolling through the aisles.  It looked like an interesting story and had a “special price” sticker of only $8.  I also figured that if I hold an actual book in my hand rather than a digital version I might be able to stay unplugged.  I haven’t started this book yet.

Came Back Early Today by Marie Marley, PhD
A Memoir of Love, Alzheimer’s and Joy
I actually have no idea how I ended up purchasing this book on Amazon.  I always enjoy reading non-fiction books and this one caught my attention.  I’ve actually read a few chapters of this book now and it’s pretty interesting.

From the Moment We Met by Marina Adair*
I think I downloaded this book for free as part of the Amazon Prime membership program.  They recently sent me an email with a choice of four books to download for free.  Can’t beat that as a perk.  I actually have no idea what the book’s about.  Looks life a romance novel, huh?
I also purchased a few books on the topic of blogging.  I still strive to make my blog a place that readers will come to visit, make themselves at home, and return to over and over.
What are you reading?  Let me know in the comments below.

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!💗
