Spring Vibes: Adding Pastels into Your Winter Wardrobe

February 17, 2021

This is where my mind is these days. Yes, me. Miss Dark Low Contrast Greyed Down Neutral. I want to roll around in the ice cream tubs at Baskin Robbins. Daiquiri Ice, Rainbow Sherbet, Bubble Gum, Mintcho. All those soft pastel colors. Yum. To me, the fall is all about those rich,

Week in Review: Things I Love About Myself

February 16, 2021

Ooohhh…this is a “challenge myself” week, but I’m thinking you guys should do it too 🙂 So I’m not out here loving myself all alone. To be clear, you will share things you love about YOURSELF. Ha. The exercise is of finding positive things about yourself, not just finding fault with yourself.

Where Bloggers Live: Come On In!

February 12, 2021

Welcome to the monthly edition of Where Bloggers Live. It’s kind of like HGTV’s “Celebrities at Home,” but…Bloggers! Who doesn’t like to peek behind the scenes and see inside people’s homes? Every month a group of six bloggers share their workspaces, homes, towns, and more! This month’s theme is Entryway/Landing Strip. That

Week in Review: Week 258

February 8, 2021

MONDAY We had all the snow today. It was glorious. Sadly, Snow Days are a thing of the past, as everyone is now equipped to work from home. I guess now the only Snow Days will be power outages. Power Outage Day. Doesn’t have quite the same poetic ring to it. TUESDAY

What I Bought in January

February 7, 2021

The monthly post where I share reviews on the things I bought. This month could be more appropriately called, “What I Returned in January,” cuz yeah…pretty self-explanatory. Not a successful shopping month. What I’m CRAVING is low-saturation, cool-toned pastels (of course I am), AND hot pink. Ha. Just to be contrary. I

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ Feb 1-5

February 6, 2021

What do plus size 60-year-olds wear? ANYTHING THEY WANT. SATURDAY Uhm…I think the only thing I did out of the building was going to the deli for an egg sandwich (I’m so predictable). So this was just comfortable for being around the apartment all day, mostly at the computer. Turtleneck: Jessica London

Pretty In…oh, I just can’t do it

February 3, 2021

Some colors, like people, drift in and out of your life over time. Pink is one of those colors for me. Do you have colors you’ve liked at certain times in your life, that you’ve wanted nothing to do with at others? I remember in my 20s specifically, really loving the color

Week in Review: A Very Special Gratitude Episode

February 1, 2021

So. I’ve been feeling like Week in Review has been getting a little stale, since I don’t DO very much these days (#covidpluswinter)…and I’m mostly just sharing my THOUGHTS on things. And while my thoughts are INSANELY exciting to ME, they may not be for everyone…so I’m going to try to come

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ Jan 23-29

January 30, 2021

Sharing a week’s worth of plus size outfits, for better or worse! Question: is the jump to seven days (from five) of outfits too much? Apology: I’m a boob and didn’t realize I had my camera in manual focus for the first 3 days so I had to swipe video stills from

Product Review: L’Oréal Age Perfect Rosy Tone Face Moisturizer

January 29, 2021

I’ve been using L’Oréal Age Perfect Rosy Tone Face Moisturizer for about six weeks. I was sent it from Influenster but this is an honest review of the product. The packaging claims to “Renew and Revive a Blushed Rosy Tone From Within. Skin is hydrated and has a healthy blush. Instantly revive

Week in Review: Week 256

Another week primarily spent avoiding contact with humans, but living a rich fantasy life. MONDAY Martin Luther King Day. A favorite quote: “People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated

About Me: We’re Not Necessarily the Best Judges of Who We Are

January 19, 2021

I like perusing the personal ads. Not in an “I’m looking for someone” sort of way, but just purely for the entertainment factor. Reading people’s descriptions of themselves is a hoot. I think sometimes people identify with who they would like to be. “I’m funny,” “I’m youthful,” “I’m a free spirit,” “I’m

Week in Review: Week 255

January 18, 2021

How is it only the second week of January?? I feel like it’s been 2021 forever. And I STILL can’t get the hang of writing 2021 on things, ugh. MONDAY Don’t you just love spam comments? “What a data of un-ambiguity and preserveness of valuable familiarity regarding unexpected feelings. Blinny Marlo Bandler”

2020 Plus Size Clothing Purchases: Nailed or Failed?

January 13, 2021

At the beginning of 2020 I started logging EVERYTHING I wore and EVERYTHING I spent money on. I wanted to really keep track of what I was buying and to watch over time to assess whether things were a good investment or not. THEN Covid. I kept it up for about a
