A great two piece swimsuit that has coverage and support!
This suit is great for active outdoor water sports.
It stays in place while swimming laps, paddle boarding and boating.
I love the variety of suits available for whatever people enjoy while in the water!

A joy of midlife is wearing what makes you feel good without caring if you have dents in your thighs and rolls on your tummy.
I love how younger women and girls are embracing this as well!
In fact, seeing the younger people having joy in their body confidence has led me to feel the same.
This bikini gives me the coverage on the body and the support on the top.
The ruffles balance out with the hips.
Wear what makes you feel great!

Spring is right around the corner and swimsuit season is creeping up on us!
10 years ago, I most likely would have NEVER posted of full photo of me in my bathing suit on social media, much less have anyone take a photo of me in my suit, but now, I am proud to be in this suit living a great midlife and feeling confident without needing anyone’s approval on how I look.
Being encouraged by all the confident midlife women I’ve found on this space has been so wonderful!
I love this swimsuit and its style.
I have it in another color combination as well. The cut is flattering and it comes in sizes 0-24.
I plan to post more of my favorite suits as the season continues

Do you ever have those days when you’re feeling puffy?
We just got back from a trip and spent the day before driving 7 hours home.
I didn’t get to fit in a workout and eating at drive-thru restaurants definitely was a contributing factor!
Geometric prints can help camouflage the tummy when you’re feeling kind of puffy.
The bootcut jeans also even out my legs and give them a longer appearance.
This outfit will keep me in a decent mood while I detox from the junk I ate yesterday!

I suffer from plantar fasciitis and it can really hinder your tennis game!
These Adidas Barricade Court Shoes have done wonders and got me back in the game.
A great price on these quality shoes.
I usually buy two pair in different colors and switch between them when I play.
Great for pickleball too!

All white at Wimbledon!
Loved the Womens match and the attitudes of the players!
This skirt with the pleats brings a classic look to the courts.

Accessories add so much to your Kentucky Derby Ensemble!
Here are a few accessories to add to your Derby outfit to really make your outfit pop!
Both women & men can go all out with these fun fashion statements!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKparties #LTKstyletip

Men need to shine too on Derby Day!
A classic seersucker jacket is always in style, but you better get it now or they will sell out before the big day arrives!
A classic suit is also a great choice!
If your seats are on the 4th, 5th or 5th Floors, no denim allowed, so get your wardrobe in order!

A day at the races is fun, however, being at the track all day outdoors in a dressy outfit with unpredictable weather can be daunting.
Life is much easier if you prepare ahead of time with a few essential items!
1. If wearing heels, walk from parking to the track in flip flops. Change into your regular shoes once you are at your seats! You will want to opt for rain boots if it is a rainy day!
2. Emergency sewing kit and add some safety pins and Bobbie pins. Straps break, buttons pop and hats fly! Be prepared
3. Clear rain poncho! Get these early! I searched and search one year the day before Derby and people were selling them at 10.00-20.00 off the street. Normally only 2.00-3.00.
4. Rain cover for your hat! Get one! Those hats can cost quite a bit and feathers and rain are not a good mix.
5. Clear bag. While not required, it can make entry much easier.
6. Small first aid kit for blisters, stubbed toes and headache meds.
These items will lend to a more enjoyable Derby Day should life’s little emergencies arise.

A flown dress has me feeling fine!
Of course I live the link in this dress and the smocked bust area is figure flattering!
The sleeves add balance to shoulders!
The trim is a throw-back to my youth but doesn’t make me look like I’m trying to be a child again.
I live how this dress is dressy yet comfortable at the same time!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKover40 #LTKVideo

Feeling the warm weather in this flowing maxi dress!
The colors bring me so much happiness and the pockets only add to that happiness!
Great for a wedding or a sunny outdoor event!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKmidsize #LTKover40

I’m so excited for more daylight hours in my future!
A few days of hunkering down with snow and a crackling fire is all good and fine, but I NEED sunshine and a warm breeze!Getting ready for spring weather with this fun dress!
I pair it with a bright cardigan for a chill in the air. A denim jacket would also look great!

Great Patio Sets for Small Spaces!
Perfect for apartment or condo patios or decks or a small porch area.
Quality at a great price!

#LTKxTarget #LTKfamily #LTKhome

We updated our outdoor space this year and are looking for outdoor lighting options that won’t be harsh and also won’t require us to call an electrician.
These outdoor options are fun and portable!

#LTKfamily #LTKhome #LTKparties

Looking forward to sunny days!
Today may be a tease of warm weather, but I will take all o can!
I love spending time outside under this large umbrella working on our podcast or having dinner.
These chairs are super comfortable and give the feeling that I’m at a French bistro, even if I’m enjoying something I prepared in my air fryer.

I love designer bags and LOVE getting the real deal for a great price!
I love checking out the consignment shops for classic pieces.
My sister was looking for a Louis Vuitton Pochette and there were in 7 of these left in the country at the Louis Vuitton store!
I got mine at a consignment store and paid less for this classic bag!
The shops guarantee authenticity and always state the true condition of their products.
This is also a great option if you decide to sell some of your designer pieces.

Gucci’s Matelasse’. chain Wallet!
Perfect for spring in its bright pink color!

Fashionphile has so many quality pieces for a great price!
Here is the Gucci Mimi Ophidia Round Backpack. It can hold my phone, keys, cards and some cash.
I put on my back and my hands are free for touring, walking, biking and carrying!

One of my favorite skin care moisturizers is LA MER, but it can be very expensive and out of reach.
When you can find it on sale, even at a smaller size, it is worth the money!
You use such a small amount with each use and place it on your face very sparingly, that even a small container can last you quite a while

Need to add some shine to your hair but you don’t have time for an extra rinse?
IGK’s Antisocial dry hair mask can help!
It softens while it repairs and you can just go with a great shine to go along with you!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKBeauty #LTKStyleTip

I am out in the sun quite a bit!
Whether it’s playing tennis, pickleball, swimming or going for a walk, my hair is constantly exposed to harmful uv rays.
That’s where IGK’s in-shower gloss named Expensive comes into play!
This clear gloss enhances sine and color like a clear lite protector!
Expensive keeps my hair color in check and my hair poking and feeling healthy!

#LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKStyleTip

Great looking hairnot only makes a great impression, it can play a part in how you feel!
Bad hair days equals bad mood!
Washing and drying my hair everyday is not always an option for those of us with a busy schedule not to mention taking time to style everyday.
That’s what IGK’s First Class Charcoal Detox Dry Shampoo is so helpful.
Some dry shampoos can really leave a build up of product on your scalp, but First Class lifts dirt and build-up and absorbs oil.
I’ve finally found a dry shampoo that doesn’t leave my hair and scalp feeling dry!

That last time I wore overalls, they were maternity overalls and that was 31 years ago!
I thought I would tiptoe into the overall territory by renting them from NUULY and I’m so glad I did.
I’m really liking these and they are very comfortable!
Glad to see them making a comeback.
