I began this discussion yesterday on Instagram, but here on the blog, I can write more. It’s also far easier for me to share my thoughts with both hands on the keyboard instead of attempting to be coherent with two thumbs. I am 5’3″ tall, the average height of an American woman in 2019. I…

They always say the older you get, the fewer f*cks you have to give. I see this when it comes to my wardrobe. I have less patience for clothing that is difficult. I don’t want to be pinched or sucked in, I don’t want anything too complicated to care for, and I’ve started breaking all…
It was a tough week, and I realize one reason it was so tough was because I now don’t have normal periods but perimenopause periods. Women over 40, you know what I mean. It’s something no one talks about but it suuuuucks. It’s like I’m 13 again. My period comes late, it comes early, it…

The self-timer on my iPhone and this handy (and nicely priced) Bluetooth phone remote have helped me capture more of what I’ve worn off the blog. These are all casual looks as my nicer ensembles got captured and shared as true outfit posts. What I wear on weekends, early mornings, when I’m sick, and when…
Yesterday I shared a post-workout selfie on Instagram Stories. I was wearing new Athleta leggings that I looove and with it, a cropped top also from Athleta (sold out). One that doesn’t cover my belly, one that rides up on occasion. And I love it too. I felt fierce. I was so sick all week…
I play with beauty products all the time, it’s literally my job. Sometimes this playing introduces me to new amazing products, sometimes it introduces me to breakouts, sensitive skin, and lackluster results. I recently tried a bunch of new products and few were good enough to even mention. It made me appreciate even more my…
