A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
Here are all of my lifestyle posts featuring my family, travel, home decor, and inspirations.
How wonderful to get invited to the Laura Geller holiday soirée celebrating 25 years of beauty. It was in 1997 when veteran makeup artist Laura Geller launched her beauty line on QVC, the home shopping network. The debut product, the contouring set called the Face Structuring Kit, sold out within minutes.
While everyone else shopped Black Friday weekend, I motored to Brandywine Valley to visit an enduring lavish estate for the Longwood Gardens Christmas experience. With my long history of attending the Philadelphia Flower Show, I like to feast my eyes on horticultural beauty; I inherited my green thumb and love of natural beauty from my […]
In my efforts to reduce my carbon footprint, I make intentional purchases, including preloved items and supporting smaller brands. Since that 2021 pledge to buy better, I have discovered that you must have Black-owned brands on your holiday shopping list. When one develops a mindful style, these decisions warrant doing homework. For example, details about […]
September 2022 is history, but it’s worth noting it was Self-Care Awareness Month. A self-maintenance reminder to be true to myself. It’s time for me to reset, recharge, and refocus. Why?

It’s September 16! Happy Birthday to me. As a midlifer, birthdays take on special meanings. Why! For me, I’m claiming excellent health while aging gracefully. This year alone, I’m sad to say I attended two funerals of people younger than me.

Even though the BA.5 COVID-19 omicron subvariant continues to spike, my life is returning to normal. I decided to accompany my daughter, Channing, on a business trip to the Big Apple. I chalk this trip up to another memorable weekend experience in New York City. Last weekend’s stay in “The City That Never Sleeps” didn’t […]
What’s going on? A product review for Global Girl Apothecary shea body butter. What do you do when you have a quick, unplanned trip accompanying someone to the capital city of the United States? On the journey day, rainstorms and cold temperatures were forecasted.
Many recognize Hershey, Pennsylvania, as “the sweetest place on earth.” From my account, it is a beautiful attraction. Nevertheless, nearby Lancaster County is a must-see and visit area. I’m sharing my recent wine and cheese train ride through the Amish community today.
You may recall the slogan from the American Express commercials in the Nineties; “membership has its privileges.” As a member of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, I previewed “In Full Bloom,” the 2022 Philly Flower Show green space theme, the day before its official opening to the public. The Philly Flower Show, sponsored by the Pennsylvania […]
