Sixtyish and Strong

📚 Why I’ll Always Be a Reader (Even When Life Gets Busy) I’m a reader. Like… not casually. Not “I read a book on vacation once” reader. I’m talking 25 books a year kind of reader. Or at least… that’s the goal. This year? Slightly behind. And by slightly, I mean… let’s not talk about it 😜 In my defense, I’ve been a little busy trying to become an influencer and all. You know—just out here reinventing myself, one Pinterest pin at a time. 📖 My Go-To Genre: Thrillers That Mess With Your Mind If you want to hook me instantly? Give me a good thriller. Twists. Turns. The kind of book where you think you’ve got it figured out… and then BAM—you were completely wrong. My absolute favorite author? Freida McFadden. She does not play around. Her books are the kind where you say: “Okay, just one more chapter…” …and suddenly it’s 1:30 a.m. and you’re questioning all your life choices. My favorite of hers? Never Lie. I won’t spoil a single thing—but just know… 👉 It’s one of those “wait…...

There is this thing I do… Actually, let’s be honest—this thing we all do . Procrastinate. Yep. Put it off. Avoid it. Pretend it doesn’t exist like it’s going to quietly pack up and leave on its own. Spoiler alert: It does not. It just sits there. Waiting. Like that one bill on the counter. That laundry pile giving you side-eye. That “I’ll start Monday” plan that somehow keeps moving to… next Monday. And listen—I am not judging. I am the president of the Procrastination Club. I’ve been this way my whole life. I’d love to blame my mother… (kidding, Mom 😉)… but honestly, she might be part of the reason. Because growing up, if I didn’t clean my room? She would. If I didn’t put the dishes away? She would. If I left my hair tools (and let me tell you… there were A LOT—it was the 80s, big hair didn’t happen by accident) all over the place? She. Would. Do. It. So what did young me learn? “Oh… if I wait long enough… this problem solves itself.” Cute in theory. Terrible life strategy. ...

I’m pretty sure most of you have heard of Avon. Like… classic Avon. The one you remember from back in the day—maybe your dad or grandpa had that lineup of fancy cologne bottles sitting on the dresser like a whole collection 😂 But let me tell you something… Avon is not the same Avon anymore. They’ve had a serious glow-up. I started poking around again out of curiosity, and now? I’m kind of hooked. Their skincare line, Anew , is honestly impressive—especially if your skin is a little more… experienced (we’re not saying aging, we’re being respectful here 😌). It’s one of those lines that actually feels like it’s doing something without being complicated or crazy expensive. And the makeup? Surprisingly good. I’m not a full-glam everyday kind of person—never have been. I lean more tomboy most days… throw on some mascara, maybe pretend I tried 😅 BUT when I do decide to clean up a little? Avon is one of my go-tos. Their waterproof mascaras actually stay put (which is saying something), a...

  I  I took a little break this weekend… and no, it wasn’t just for fun  I took a little break this weekend… and no, it wasn’t just for fun 😬 Writer’s block showed up uninvited (rude), but honestly? I’m glad it did—because it made me pause and really think about what I want this space to be. Here’s what I landed on: I want this to be a place for women in their 60s and beyond who are not even close to done living their best life. We’re talking: Feeling good in your body Taking care of your health (without making it your full-time job) Thinking more positively—even on the hard days And yes… looking amazing while doing it Because let’s be honest—just because we’ve earned our wisdom doesn’t mean we’ve lost our spark 💁‍♀️ So I’m shifting things a bit. You’re going to start seeing more: ✨ Simple routines that actually fit real life ✨ Uplifting quotes (because mindset matters more than we admit) ✨ Products I genuinely enjoy and use—not just “trendy” stuff...
