Before lockdown, I was going to a gym five mornings a week lifting weights. I did this for a little over two years, and it really showed me that it’s never too late to start something new. As we get older, our bodies may not be as durable or flexible or capable, but a lot… Continue Reading And For My Next Challenge… Learning to Scull
I recently went to the beach for a long weekend with some of my best girl friends. I looked at what I packed and realized if I added just a couple of items, I’d have a great active beach getaway capsule wardrobe that would extend far beyond three nights. I decided to take some of… Continue Reading Active Beach Getaway Capsule Wardrobe: 1 Carry-on, 27 Looks
This past weekend, I filled out forms to have my daughter transfer from homeschool to middle school next year. We homeschooled her this year because we were concerned about covid.

I gifted the pants, shorts, and tunic to another.… Continue Reading Universal Standard Stretch Linen Review

Inspired by the women’s strike in Iceland (BBC), Piazza believes that if all women avoid social media for just one day, it would be… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #199
It has been a bit since I shared what I wore recently. We had Spring Break and then suddenly life got really busy. It has been two years since I lived and died by my Google Calendar but I’m back, baby. Lots of, I can do that Tuesday but only after 2pm; I’m free Friday… Continue Reading What I Wore Recently: May 06, 2022
When I started this blog, it was the 2000’s and I wanted to be polite to any potential readers. I wrote trying to create content that would appeal to everyone, since my goal was to offer style advice regardless of age, size, or lifestyle.
