Happy last day of November! How is this even possible it seems ❤️ Time flies! Enjoying a cup of ☕️ and gearing up for a crazy but beautifully busy December filled with fun & family. Take a moment, a deep breath and get ready for the day! #nationallampoonschristmasvacation anyone?!! Make sure to make “me” time when you can and just enjoy the festive fun 🎄 I’ve been absent on here for awhile and that’s just what I needed to do! Real life Holidays don’t always look like a perfectly curated Insta Reel or a Hallmark Movie! Do you, be your Beautiful self and take the Holidays and Social at your own pace. Sending you extra caffeine, patience, grace, gratitude and love as we head into December! Failing that….there’s always wine 😉🍷 XO’s Always • • • • • • #happydecember #happyholidays #letthefestivitiesbegin #yougotthis #takeiteasy #christmasiscoming #breatheinbreatheout #coffeehelps #instagood #instabeauty #instablogger #bbloggersca #yycbloggers #beautyover50 #fitnessover50 #dontstressyourself #keepsmiling #keepcalmanddrinkwine #christmasvacation #greatexpectations #familyfun #canyourelate #itsthemostwonderfultimeoftheyear #griswoldfamilychristmas (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clkc4buruxE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh Hi 👋 and happy almost Fall. Haven’t been on here in forever! What a day ……anyone else?!! Had a lot of questions after my last story about fitness over 50 and happy to share! I am fortunate to work with a personal trainer who pushes me. Nutrition, motivates me and always strives to show me what I can do to improve….although sometimes I wanna tell him to #foff not gonna lie 😂 @jl_fitness__ Almost 3 years ago I had never set foot inside a gym and now it’s just a part of everyday life ~ which is amazing! One of the best things I’ve ever done for me is to take charge of my health and learn about my body and what I can do to improve my wellness. I am now 52 and in the best shape of my life ~ so reminder it’s never too late to look after you. When you feel good on the inside it translates to the outside 🫶 Happy last day of Summer….not quite ready to let it go here either 😎 All the strong XO’s your way! • • • • • • #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnessover50 #bestrong #beyourbestself #personaltraining #personaltrainers #goodlifefitness #doitforyourself #instabeauty #instablogger #bbloggerca #yycblogger #beautyover50 #bebeautiful #bestrong #besmart #behealthybehappy #feelgoodaboutyourself #yyclife #yyclifestyle #behappywithyourself #behappyandsmile #doyouboo #happyfallyall (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiwS2kkrxCe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Have the most amazing weekend and all the XO’s your way!

No cute caption or products in today’s post. Just an “Oh Hi” and a smile 🤍 Things have been busy lately and lots going on in life ~ as I’m sure in your world too! I had an unfortunate skincare reaction 3 weeks ago with a new face serum. Just a friendly reminder that even when you do a patch test first with no reaction things can still go sideways. As a person who tests out a lot of skincare I have learned a very valuable lesson. And I can’t stress enough the importance of doing research on a brand and its ingredients before ever applying it to your skin! Finally able to show my face in public. The swelling, burns and peeling have all healed. No foundation, blush or other makeup yet but hopefully soon. Honestly I can be ready and out of the house in 10 minutes these days which is a bonus!! Wearing tinted lipgloss…..but in windy Calgary not ideal 💨 If you have long hair and live in a windy locale you know! Au Natural with my new red skin but thankful no lasting damage. Have you ever had a bad reaction using a new product? Happy Friday Jr. and all the XO’s your way 🤍 • • • • #smilesformiles #beyou #bebeautiful #beyourself #benatural #beconfident #livelifeunfiltered #skincaremistakes #beautyover50 #fitnessover50 #skincareover50 #lipgloss #lipglosslove #minimalmakeup #nomakeup #instabeauty #instablogger #bbloggersca #yycblogger #yycliving #yyclife #windycity #messyhairdontcare #learnfromyourmistakes #skincareeducation #lovetoyou #itsalmostfriday (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CemDu4tJWKq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tipping my hat to all you Loves who are getting through this week with grace, style, patience and compassion. And if you’re not feeling any of the above that’s OK too! Just a little reminder to be you, acknowledge your feelings, worth and embrace where you’re at in this moment. I find these days a little bit hard to navigate but choose to share joy and positive energy when and where I can. So smile ….. share a hug, share a laugh, share a memory, share a charity or cause you believe in passionately. Just spread positivity and hope. Much Love and XO’s always 🤍 • • • • • • #beyourself #beyourbestself #bewhatyouwant #bewhatyoubelieve #doyou #beconfident #bebeautiful #speakyourtruth #instagood #instabeauty #instablogger #bbloggersca #yycbloggers #beautyover50 #fitnessover50 #beautyatanyage #beautyiseverywhere #beautyispower #themindispowerful #lookafteryourself #speakyourmind #youareloved #lovenotwar (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc4o2vqL0jv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sunday Funday and hope y’all are doing amazing! Been such a crazy few months for me and haven’t posted in forever…..have been feeling guilty! And realized finally that’s OK! I do IG for fun and as a way to share and express my loves and life. When it became a chore and I was busy dealing with my life I took a step back. Needed to do that and I think that is perfectly OK. I started feeling guilty about not keeping up, not posting and then I thought wtf ~ I am supposed to be doing this for fun!! I am not a full time blogger and never will be. My friends who are I have nothing but admiration and love for you ~ such hard work, dedication and professionalism. I guess just saying it’s OK to do you, be you and take whatever path works for you on your social media journey! Love you all to pieces and thank you for following along and sticking with me! All the love your way as we head into this beautiful but crazy busy holiday season 🤍 XO’s • • • #sundayfunday #selfcaresunday #lookafteryou #beyou #doyou #instabeauty #instablogger #bbloggersca #yycbloggers #beautyover50 #noguilt #postwhenyoufeellikeit #nopressure #socialmediaforgood #selflove #takecontrolofyourhealth #itsthemostwonderfultimeoftheyear #staypositive #stayshining #stayhealthy #mindfulness #dowhatyoulove #canyourelate #sorrynotsorry #newmindset #loveyou #santaclauseiscomingtotown🎅🏻🎄 (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXaaoc3rSKQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Friday Vibes….Just me on a bench….waiting for the weekend to arrive! It’s the last Friday of August ~ hard to believe. Going to make the most of these last few summer days! Had the pleasure of an early morning downtown shoot with Danish from @smdvlogs007 📷 If you’re looking for a local photographer who’s passionate and professional about his work I definitely recommend checking him out. Whatever you get up to this weekend I hope you do it with joy and enthusiasm!

Happiest Weekend 💞 Been a heck of a week here for sure! How you doing? Lots of questions about @shein_ca and this dress after my story earlier this week and happy to share my thoughts! First time ordering from @sheinofficial and I was a little skeptical I have to say. I ordered 15 pieces which totalled 10 outfits plus 2 pairs of shoes. Placed my order July 27th and it arrived August 3rd which was awesome! (But be prepared for a Customs & Duty invoice on top of your order.) For those of you who are wondering ~ size wise I didn’t order anything too fitted first time out because I wasn’t sure if they fit true to size or not. As I am on the petite side ~ I ordered mostly small but also medium where bust size came into play. Thrilled to say all my items fit beautifully. Obviously these are not long life staple wardrobe pieces but fun and stylish! If they last me a season or two, thrilled with the fit and quality for such a reasonable price point. Highly recommend giving them a go for a few fun and trendy but inexpensively priced summer pieces! Curious if you have ordered from Shein and what your experience was? Wishing you the most amazing weekend vibes and all the XO’s your way 💞 • • #SKU swdress07200729704 Price $29 CAD currently • • • #shein #sheinhaul #sheinca #sheinofficial #sheindress #sheingirls #affordablefashion #summervibes #summerstyle #sundressseason #fashionover50 #styleover50 #instabeauty #instablogger #bbloggersca #yycbloggers #yycstyle #yycfashion #fitnessover50 #beautyover50 #weekendvibes #yycliving #tgif #happyweekend #livelifetothefullest (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSQfjaxr3an/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love mornings without an alarm ⏱ You know what Sunday is…..it’s a day with a lot of potential for naps! There are about a million motivational and uplifting quotes I could throw in here. I’m just gonna say be you and do you, for you! Gentle reminder that whatever you get up to make sure you do at least one thing that puts you in your happy place. It might be a sleep in, hitting the gym, heading outdoors, or something as simple as a little self care with a good book and bubbles! It’s different for each of us. All the XO’s your way for an amazing week ahead 🤍 • • • • #easylikesundaymorning #slowsunday #sleepin #selfcare #selfcaresunday #selflove #doyou #dowhatmakesyouhappy #rechargeyourself #lookafteryou #lookafteryourbody #lookafteryourskin #lookafteryourmentalhealth #fitnessover50 #beautyover50 #instabeauty #instablogger #bbloggersca #yycblogger #yycliving #sunday #sundayfunday #selfiesunday (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRwHwl9hHZu/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Wednesday! Going to call this #winnersfabfind Wednesday! As things are finally opening up I hit my local Winners and found these cute camo overalls for under $25! Have you ventured out yet now that restrictions have loosened a bit? Still being cautious & safe but love to hear what your fave purchase has been since things have reopened! Has it been fashion, makeup, kid stuff or home style pieces for you? A big thing for me hasn’t been shopping so much as being able to socialize with family and friends finally! Drop me a comment below with what you’ve missed most!

Happy almost Long Weekend Friends...Just me and my crazy humidity hair looking off into the distance willing it to come sooner! Here in Calgary we have a record breaking heatwave going on 🔥 Currently +36 C which is almost unheard of for June in this part of the country! Reminder to stay hydrated, wear your sunscreen and check on friends and relatives who may need help staying cool. What’s the weather like where you live? So exciting now that things are finally opening up ~ so much to see and do. Have a beautiful and safe long weekend filled with family, friends and fun 😎 Stay chill and all the XO’s your way! • • • • • #longweekendvibes #celebratelife #wearsunscreen #sunshinetherapy #sunshinestateofmind #staycool #stayhydrated #staysafe #instabeauty #instablogger #beautyover50 #fitnessover50 #summerstyle #beconfident #bebeautiful #bekind #bikiniweather #humidityhair #bbloggersca #yycblogger #yycstyle #yycliving #heatwave #patioseason #summervibes #chillin #outofoffice (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQxAnW1Bhr4/?utm_medium=tumblr

What a weekend! 😎 How are you? #selfcaresunday and things are looking up I gotta say! I was scared about doing my own brows....but @shophali_com sent me the easiest kit to do brows & lashes ~ thank you! I was a little bit intimidated at first with dying my own brows but love the results and so easy to do at home. Literally a three step process with natural & vegan ingredients 🌿 Hope you had the most beautiful weekend and all the XO’s your way! • • • • #selfcaresunday #lookafteryourself #prgifted #shophali #farleycobeauty #igopr #veganfriendly #beautylashinternational #lessismore #eyebrowandlashtint #beautyathome #beautyover50 #instabeauty #instablogger #instagood #intsafashion #bbloggersca #yycblogger #lashblast #browsonfleek #sundayfunday #doyoubooboo #wowyourbrows #sundayfeels (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQFoFQaBYg7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Monday Funday & Happiest Victoria Day! Who doesn’t enjoy an extra day away right? Last photo coming at you from the deck for awhile I promise 🕶 This weekend in Calgary wasn’t exactly conducive to outdoor activities so using a snap from last weekend. So many people ask me about how I can smile so freely in today’s world. I say it takes many more muscles to frown than smile. Also my way of sharing some good feels. As humans we naturally want to smile back when we see a grin ~ true story! The world can be dark but I believe spreading light helps. I support what I support and believe what I believe ~ but don’t need to post it here or justify my beliefs to anyone. #whoamitojudge My feed is for ALL with no judgement. Lots of pressure & stress these days. I admire each and every person who states their stance, beliefs and shares the big and small. I may look carefree ~ but know much weighs heavy on my heart too. On a lighter note... How was your weather? What did you get up to this long weekend? Did it bring a smile to your face? I sure hope so! Nothing better than time well spent, life slowed down, learning and love shared to the fullest 🤍 All the XO’s to you! • • • • • #happylongweekend #happyvictoriaday #longweekendvibes #longweekendlove #smilesformiles #feelinggoodlikeishould #itsgonnabeokay #instagood #instasmile #instabeauty #instablogger #bbloggersca #yycblogger #beautyover50 #maturesexy #beyourself #loveyourself #beunstoppable #unapollogeticallyme #doyouboo #notalwayssunshineandrainbows #butyougotthis #yougotafriendinme #mondayfunday #becomfortableinyourownskin #beinformed #dowhatyoufeelisright #beagoodhuman (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPRvyOSBrbf/?utm_medium=tumblr
