What We’re Loving This Week!


We gave the garlic, lemon, Greek yogurt chicken recipe that’s going viral on TikTok a try and Henry loved it! (Recipe linked here.) Y’all loved the leather weekender bag I used on my work trip a few weeks go. Here it is. 🙂 I’m currently living in these basic tanks from DSG. They’re only $10 each and come in so many colors!

Dr. Kaplan counsels women of all ages and says their stress and anxiety vary based on what stage of life they’re in. Most younger women, who are in their child raising years, are trying to balance work and family life. While midlife women are experiencing changes in their…

These wood Adirondack chairs from Target look terrific, are well made and come in several colors. This umbrella is one of our best-selling items. We have it on our deck and recommend it to everyone. My go-to cocktail this season is my version of a skinny margarita. I put a large ice ball in a short…

My Melanoma Diagnosis


Hi friends! If you’re here, you saw my Instagram and Facebook posts and are interested in more information. First off, I went and saw dermatologist Dr. Eddie Mount at AHN McCandless. He is wonderful! I was referred to him by my PCP (North Hills Internal Medicine) after going in to see them about the mole. In addition to what I shared in my social posts, Dr. Mount said melanoma moles are the “ugly duckling” moles…they…

What We’re Loving This Week!


This polka dot slip dress (it comes in several other colors) is fantastic! I love the feel of the material and how it just cascades down the body. You can wear it with sneakers and a jean jacket for a casual look or throw on heels for date night. It’s only $49. Mark and I just bought these wood Adirondack chairs that are foldable. Yes, foldable. We got the light gray color but there are…

Pelvic Floor Therapy And Why It Matters!


If you’re reading this, you probably saw my Instagram post. 🙂 I’m so excited to talk about pelvic floor therapy with you because 1 in 3 women have pelvic floor dysfunction (isn’t that crazy?!) It was so eye opening to interview AHN therapist, Colleen, who’s been working with women for the past 15 years and does pelvic floor therapy everyday herself! Colleen says most women who see her have these kinds of symptoms: painful sex, peeing…

My COVID Testing Experience


I got really sick about 2 months ago. It came out of the blue and I was down for the count. Worried I might have COVID, I went to GS Labs on McKnight Road. I did their rapid tests and thankfully, I didn’t have COVID (wooo!) I talked to the customer service folks before I went (they were so nice and helpful) and the staff on site was great. Fast forward to this week, and…
