Understanding Midlife Glam Anything can throw you off your game—divorce, death, loss of a career, or even something as subtle as menopause, hair loss, unwanted hair, or mood swings. The list goes on, and all of these can derail your self-confidence. Self-confidence influences how you feel, how you look, and what you expect from yourself. Recently, my daughter was dramatically horrified by the return of 90s fashion. Meanwhile, I spent the 90s in maternity clothes or anything t

Ever wonder what would look great in that empty space you have? 💎 What Is Room Jewelry? Think of Room Jewelry  as the finishing touch that makes your space feel alive.Just like the perfect earrings or statement necklace complete an outfit, your room’s jewelry adds drama, mood, and sensory delight  — drawing the eye to key points in your space. Once your walls, furniture, and main textures are set, the smaller complementary accents — the ones that make people feel  something

This episode was easier to do than I anticipated—filled with stories about my vagina (AI rant not included). At first, I thought it would be fun to use AI to generate a title for this episode. According to AI, my vagina is a “sensitive subject” and it offered no suggestions. When I tried again for the blog, it flagged my vagina as “offensive content.” With everything out there, how is the word vagina  offensive? Love your body Love Your Body This episode dives deep into women

I knew I could do it, well, I know now! Season 2 Episode 4: Holy crap I did a photo shoot! Is That Really Me? So, there I was — 55, standing in front of a camera, wearing lingerie I hadn’t touched in years. Was it crazy? Absolutely not. Was it terrifying? Oh, yes. But also… exhilarating, empowering, and honestly, life-affirming. Sharing my photos with a few people, I realized: this experience wasn’t just about pictures. It was about reclaiming my body, my confidence, and my j

It all started a few years ago. My sister did a boudoir shoot and we started to look for other photographers. I have followed studios on social media for years. Yes years. In the episode about boudoir and the connection to self confidence I chat with a few photographers and get their perspective on the business of boudoir photography and how they feel about building self confidence with their clients Listen here Recently I received a promotional text from a local studio. Wi

Toss the Negative Thoughts Away Take all the negative thoughts about yourself and throw them out. Seriously — you don’t need that crap anymore. I often wonder how young people navigate the constant noise of social media, advertising, and society while trying to maintain a positive self-image. Back in the 80s, it was hard enough. I struggled with comparing myself to models and celebrities — wondering if anyone would ever see me as enough . When Self-Image Is Tested In my late

Thirty. Flirty. And Thriving.... I wish. We all know the mantra from 13 going on 30. But what they don't mention is that as your 30th birthday approaches you are actually thinking: "Thirty, Hurty & Crying". Its about this time that it hits you that this is life, you are NEVER going to figure it out, no-one ever has. While no-one seems to have figured out the secret to life, we have found many ways to work on self-care and self-growth so that we may actually enjoy this planet

Women want to feel pretty, sexy, and self-confident. It’s part of who we are—a desire to feel comfortable in our own skin and connected to the power that comes from feeling good  about ourselves. But life has a funny way of chipping away at that confidence. The stress, expectations, body changes, and comparisons can all blur our self-worth. Before we know it, that inner sparkle feels dimmed, and we start wondering where the confident version of ourselves went. So, we look for

The answer to self-sabotage is… not to self-sabotage yourself. Sounds simple, right? Years of research, hundreds of dollars in self-help books, and a personal library of motivational audiobooks led me to that mind-blowing revelation. I could’ve saved myself a fortune if I’d just slipped on those damn red heels sooner. (Okay, in the podcast I said they were six inches, but come on—three inches feels  like six when it’s me in them. Only talking about shoes though, let’s be clea

I think I have always had a stock of lotions tucked away in a cabinet somewhere, but lately… it’s borderline obscene. Every time I open a drawer or peek into a shelf, I see rows upon rows of bottles — body lotions, face creams, specialty potions for every conceivable part of me. The thing is, it takes forever  to use up a single container. And yes, there’s a very real possibility that if I passed this collection on, one person couldn’t possibly make a dent before it expired.

Why Do Women Need to Feel Beautiful? Every day, we’re bombarded with images of women that set unrealistic standards for beauty. From magazines and billboards to social media feeds, we’re constantly told what sexy looks like. Professional models, filters, and Photoshop have created ideals so polished they’re nearly impossible to match—and yet we try. It’s no wonder many women question their bodies: “Am I enough?” “Do I measure up?” The beauty and cosmetic industries make it wo

Can You Ever Be Ready? Interviews. Boudoir. Sharing your inner thoughts with the world. Can you ever truly feel ready for these things? Totally… maybe. But for me? Not so much. If I over-prepare or plan, my anxiety sneaks in, and suddenly the idea of stepping into the spotlight feels like running a marathon in flip-flops. At that point, Netflix looks a lot  more appealing. Sometimes, though, bravery shows up unannounced. You feel it in your gut, a rush that says, “Just do it.

Boost Your Magnesium the Easy Way Magnesium is essential for our health, but sometimes oral supplements can upset the stomach or just feel inconvenient. The best way to increase your magnesium levels? Through the skin. Our body’s largest organ—the skin—is the perfect route for transdermal magnesium therapy . Products like magnesium oil, gel, lotion, and bath flakes are designed to bypass the gastrointestinal tract, delivering magnesium directly into your cells for rapid absor

Aging, Environment, and Skin Care Our skin reflects our age, environment, and diet  from head to toe. Yet, when faced with a long list of beauty products—moisturizer, eye cream, serum, exfoliant, cleanser, night cream—it can feel overwhelming. How many products do we really need? The truth is, we can’t stop aging , and sometimes we can’t control environmental factors. But we can eat healthier  and strategically use anti-aging products to keep our skin vibrant and youthful. Ke

De’-col-le-tage. If you want to hear the proper pronunciation, give it a quick listen [here]. Once you know it, it just sticks—and it’s much nicer than saying “turkey neck” or “crepey chest.” I didn’t really think about my decolletage until I splurged on Cindy Crawford’s Meaningful Beauty kit—a whole lineup of face and neck creams. I used it for a while until it leaked onto my dresser, ruining the finish. Not the product’s fault—cheap furniture, I guess—but that experience ta

Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could step out of the shower and come out a few pounds lighter? Just imagine washing all that pizza away! The truth is, excess weight isn’t always fat . Have you noticed that when starting a diet, the first five pounds seem to melt away faster than the rest? That’s often water weight . When your body feels puffy or squishy, it may be holding onto fluids. Why Water Matters Water is an essential nutrient —we need it to sustain life. Depending on age

With lips painted in shades of red, cherry, pink, or cinnamon, a woman's softly pouted lips convey desire. Adorned with silks, lace, feather boas, pearls, and heels, with hair in glamorous curls or delicately draped over bare shoulders, her rosy cheeks and beautifully enhanced lashes complete the look. Viewed by admiring eyes, the reflection she desires embodies sexiness and beauty. When a woman feels confident and stunning, she embodies her inner pin-up girl . Throughout his

Because we can’t stop time—but we can stop wasting money pretending we can The quest for youth has made millions  for companies who know exactly how to sell us on our vanity. Someone, somewhere, is raking in the dough—because we can’t stand looking like dough. You can spend $10 or $200  on anti-wrinkle creams (depending on how desperate you are), but the truth is this: wrinkles happen. They’re part of the deal. First, they have cute little names like “smile lines”  and “crow’

Because wellness should taste good and  make you glow Adding olive oil to your diet, skin care routine, and even your hair treatment can bring health benefits that last for years. This ancient oil has been called “liquid gold” for a reason — it nourishes your body from the inside out. 🧴 The Types of Olive Oil (and Why They Matter) Not all olive oils are created equal.
