A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
When I think of Fifth Avenue, I think of women wearing hats and gloves and sashaying in furs while walking their pedigreed dogs. Perhaps I have watched way too many film noir movies. Anyhow, I am still learning about the rich culture that is well-established in Manhattan, especially on the Upper East Side. My daughter […]
The third Sunday in June, and you know what that means: time to celebrate Dads! It’s Father’s Day! It’s no surprise that Father’s Day was instituted following the success of Mother’s Day, inspired by Anna Jarvis. Another woman, Sonora Dodd, was behind the movement to recognize fathers and fatherhood. It’s a great time to talk […]
I recently discovered an online social networking website that facilitates offline group meetings with common interests in various locations worldwide. I saw a #meetuplyvore in New York City upon exploring this site. I am always game to motor to the Big Apple for fun, exploration, and seeing my daughter. Social media sites are funny. […]
If one believed AAA, more than 36 million people will take to the roads this Memorial Day weekend. I was one of them. I traveled less than 15 miles to the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center for the 2014 Club Twenty-one annual Shining Moments. Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer; I […]
The last two weekends, I entertained a Philly State of Mind. I journeyed to Philly last week to spend time with my Mom for Mother’s Day.

I adopted this quick and easy ritual to my morning beauty regimen, and my […]
Mum’s the Word Once again, the calendar says it is time to celebrate Mom. I asked the same question last year: why do we need a holiday to remember our beloved mothers? The Word of God says to honor thy father and mother as a commandment. Anna Jarvis, as a woman defined by her […]
Go Fish Does anyone play cards anymore? Do you remember the card game “Go Fish” from childhood? Getting the proper nutrients for our body is like the card game Go Fish. As I recall, the strategy of the card game was to collect a set of four cards of the same kind, and the game […]
Spring Is Here, and So Are Allergies One of the aspects I enjoy about not having a traditional desk job is the opportunity to be outside and relish the seasons as they change. Telltale signs that spring is here—empty roller coasters being tested at Hershey Park, the mulched lawns, the yellow daffodils, yellow forsythia bushes, […]
The death of a local woman in my town–who was relatively young at 53 years old–prompted me to revisit the topic of women’s heart health. This woman’s death (apparently of a heart attack) begs me to remind you that heart disease is not something that strikes older Caucasian men. We all should take this matter […]
