"I Like Getting Older"

Happy Day this and thatters!

How are you all doing? 

I have to tell you that I often listen to talk radio.  It is something that has slowly happened over the past few years.  I blame it on my commute or maybe I should blame it on my age.  :)

I was driving in this morning and listening to an interview and the woman (who is very famous) said simply "I like getting older.  I know more, I know who I am and I am happier."  I have to agree with her.  I too like getting older because I think it brings a certain amount of honesty, knowledge and experience.

I know when we were all younger we wanted to be grown-up and then we grow up and we want to be young again.  Well not me, I like getting older.  When I was younger the world seemed like a big, scary place and I was pretty much scared of everything. 

Being an adult and being single for a long time gave me incredible gifts.  I know I can take care of myself, I know I don't have to be afraid all the time and I truly appreciate the life I have now. 

The radio show went on to another topic but I kept thinking about age, life and experience.  About how much I've changed and how little I have changed. 

So maybe the secret to life isn't being scared about getting older or staying young but instead to embrace the stage that we are in.  To love where we are no matter how hard it is and be thankful for it!  

 Cheers to you and me for getting older and hopefully better, stronger and happier!

 xoxo

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

The Power of Positive Thinking

Happy Hump Day readers!!  I hope you're having a great week.  From time to time I get emails or requests for certain topics and honestly I've gotten this request in some form or fashion a few times lately.   People have emailed or Facebook messaged me about positivity or how to stay happy during hard times etc.  To be honest I was a bit surprised that these asks kept coming.  I decided it was a sign that I actually needed to blog about it.   I think we've all heard the typical attitude is everything comments and most of the time they are in one ear and out the other.  Or we don't think they apply to us just everyone else.  However, I don't believe that.  I truly believe our attitude and thoughts shape our hours, days, years and ultimately our life experience.   I think this is a huge shift for most of us.  To take our thoughts from the place they have always been is super difficult.  When I got honest with myself I realized that a lot of times what I was think
