And while I’m at Ulta… it’s the Jumbo Love event where 10 Curlsmith products are included. I’m more than happy to share which I use regularly. #curlyhair #wavyhair #curlsmith #ulta #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare
🧜🏼‍♀️A lot of my friends say I have mermaid hair. Somedays it really looks like I've been tossed around by the waves. And not in a good way. This new hair tool helps refresh my mermaid hair so it looks more like the beach waves people actually want versus the kind that look like the surf is rough. Really loving my line of products from Wavytalk. #wavytalk #wavyhair #mermaidhair #beachwaves #longhair #over50 #LTKgrwm #LTKBeauty #LTKOver40
Smooth volume with a soft bounce! If you’re looking for a round brush that actually works on long, thick, wavy, curly hair 😮‍💨, you found it! The new Kitsch 1.5” medium thermal round brush makes getting a smooth 90s blowout easy & quick! Okay, Kitsch LLC you were right, it totally works with my hair. This is a happy GenX girl! #kitsch #90sblowout #blowoutathome #thermalroundbrush #longhairdontcare #LTKBeauty #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

Wait til the end to see! We ordered my mother of the bride dress! Lula Kate allows you to design the dress of your dreams by selecting the perfect bodice, skirt, fabric, print for your special event. We decided on the Eva bodice, gathered skirt, in the Garden Flora Dreamy Blue. 🩵💙🤍 I can’t wait for it to arrive! Today we have my daughter’s first alteration visit so I’ll be traveling with her dress this afternoon. Exciting time! #motherofthebride #wedding #springwedding #springformal #formalwear #outdoorwedding #bridesmaid #formaldress #mobdress #LTKstorytime #LTKmomlife #LTKWedding

Mother of Bride
DRMTLGY has been my primary skincare line since 2020. I started with their Needless Serum and slowly added products. Some I only used once, but the ones shared here have all been reordered and used regularly. Many daily, some on occasion. Happy to share my routine - day, night, and weekly, occasional. #over50 #skincare #matureskin #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty
Sharing a few of my regular bathroom counter items. All products I know & trust. Get ready with me as a 51 year old woman who is working from home as an affiliate marketer & online educator after unexpectedly retiring early due to federal restructuring. How specific is that? lol #workfromhome #over50 #skincare #LTKOver40 #LTKgrwm #LTKselfcare
💖I'm in my 50s so my skin has lived a lot of life. I've never had a facial & I wanted to try something gentle at home. I see plenty of young women promoting similar products so l'm excited to see this on my more mature skin. 💖This is a 4 week gentle, hydrating peel program. I had an esthetician friend look it over before trying. I'll check back each week and show you what's changing - the good, the honest, all of it. If you want to try, let me know! I'd love to share in your experience, too. #homefacial #matureskin #glassskin #koreanskincare #newyearnewme #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Oh this senior puppy of mine. He’s such a gentle and playful soul. Here are a few of the babies, or similar, that he’s been drawn to lately. #dogmom #goldenretriever #seniordog #dogtoys #LTKKids #LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife
Just a casual content creation double dog walk. 🦮🦮but seriously, this leash has made walks a lot less stressful. Linked here if you’d like to give it a try. FWIW, she’s a 10 year old wild woman and he’s a 13 year old gentleman. And daily walks are good fitness goals for us all! #goldenretriever #dogmom #dogleash #LTKfitnessgoals #LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife
Stopped at Tractor Supply for bird seed and came home with these two cuties for Charlie. And apparently Nora loves livestock, too. I’ve linked some of the other cuties available at Tractor Supply. These are not designed for pets but many of Charlie’s favorite babies aren’t. How stinking cute are these?! A lot are marked down after the holidays. #dogmom #LTKKids #LTKSaleAlert
Puppy Love
🐾My pups need fresh food so hoping to find some meat that’s been reduced this morning. 🦮We started making their food a few weeks ago when our senior boy was sick & refusing to eat. No problems now, they love meal times! 🦴Do you make your own dog food? I’ve really been enjoying the process. #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKOver40 #LTKPets
I might be sleepy, but don’t sleep on these jeans! They’re my favorite jeans for a reason. #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKOver40 #LTKSaleAlert
I know I’m not alone here with this closet dressing room routine! Loving the easy lightweight versatility of these full length linen pants from Quince. Each of these tops are from Loft, and are currently on sale (or very similar styles are). I recently retired unexpectedly and am in the process of going through my closet and deciding what to keep, donate, and what needs updating. All of these are regular rotations and that means they stay! #LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize
Love Loft Sale
Man, I love Calia. And I’m a sucker for neutrals. 🤍🤎🖤 anyone else? Like each top is just different enough to want them all. I love that her clothing line can easily move from active wear to street wear. And so many pieces that work for work and dressier occasions. #calia #dicks #athleisure #over50 #LTKOver40 #LTKvlog #LTKActive
Calia is always calling my name for athletic & leisure clothing. Why? I know a medium will always fit. I know the quality will be good. I know the materials will be so comfortable. I know it will be flattering. (Except sometimes full length pants aren’t quite right for me) I was really surprised to see a satin pleated pant and denim options today. And pants that can go from full length to a jogger cuff. And the softest leggings with wide leg & flare options. All great tops; I’ve tried the sweater on in red before. My favorites today? The pink top, love the pleated cuff, with the wide leg leggings. Everything is a Medium except a small in the pink top. I’m 5’8 and pushing 160 today. Left the house in my favorite loft jeans, basic white tank & black cardigan, with last year’s casual sneakers from Target. Catch my husband making a cameo trying on some pullovers - he’s past due. #calia #dickshouseofsport #LTKvlog #LTKMidsize #LTKootd
If you’re looking for pockets in active wear, this is for you. Most linked here are available XS-3X. Pockets are a non-negotiable for me & I bet they are for many of you. I can always count on Calia for stylish activewear with pockets. And if you’re an East Carolina Pirate girly (or know & love one), I found the cutest sweatshirt! 💜💛🏴‍☠️ #allsizesmatter #ecu #getoutside #LTKActive #LTKStyleTip #LTKU
