Eating – health on a dime!

Eating – health on a dime!

Making healthy choices these day’s could be a task all by it’s self- This is one of the reasons I’m so existed to disuse this topic –

 

This is the year off great shifts  – something  I’ve been experiencing for sometime now – I’m sure you felt  the shifts happening in your life as well – lucky for you; I have cultivated  what I call a “tool kit” something I’ve spoken about through out the podcast episode { Elizabeth Magical Garden}  

But for now – I’ll name a few :

  • Consistent: as it helps build momentum and creates lasting positive habits.
  • Save money: knowing you have money set aside reduces anxiety about financial uncertainties

Study shows when there is a change of income – their food quality often suffers for several reasons: Continue reading “Eating – health on a dime!”

Stop looking at the marketplace and start looking at the “gain”

“Stop looking at the marketplace and start looking at the “gain”

Nowadays people are worried about money and how could they not be- with

gas prices at an all time high – don’t even get me started on the egg prices

who ever thought we would have to choose between buying meat and eggs

I don’t know about you but  I’d love to have a nice steak and egg moment just saying!

While exact statistics specifically linking depression to unfulfilled dreams vary-

research suggests that individuals who feel unable to pursue their passions often experience:

  • Higher rates of job dissatisfaction and work-related stress
  • Increased risk of anxiety and depressive symptoms
  • Lower overall life satisfaction scores

Believing in yourself is important because: Continue reading “Stop looking at the marketplace and start looking at the “gain””

Living the “soft life – why it could be “beneficial for you”

Living the “soft life – why it could be “beneficial for you”

As time pass  by; It’s to say “feeling a bit overwhelmed”

cold be an under – statement

with all  life has been throwing at use – buying

groceries has become a sport; lately I’ve been making

it a point to practice  mindfulness: showing my self

grace when ever I can – Continue reading “Living the “soft life – why it could be “beneficial for you””

  Walk into your “new life” with power!

 


Walk into your “new life” with power!

Now that spring is around the Conner we are all frost to look in our closet to

see what works as fashion tells what is no longer the it thing to were and

women in there 40’s and 50’s are still try to finger out how to get a good night

sleep;  with waking up in a “puddle of sweet” I’ll leave that for another blog post:

so what is it about the spring that has everyone filling  like kicking everything

they owned or loved at one time or anther that’s no longer works in there

closet? One of the things I’ve noticed in the few times I’d head out to the

stores;  everything pretty much looks the same –  what one would call  “fast

 

fashion” like your h&m’s,  Zara and so forth-  now before you get all up and

arm’s;  by no means am popping on these branded – I still have alot of pieces

from these brands that I  love. – as fear as fashion I believed I’ve picked in the

80’s and 90’s and if you were born in the 70’s you know what I mean.  the

“chuck julary” to the baggy – jeans were movies like boomerang t.v, shows like

 

martin were setting the tone when it came to street – wear; oh don’t get me on

the music can we say ” Don’t go chasing water falls by

TLC! I still  see remnants of “punk rock” and” hip-hop” in

my wardrobe if I’m being perfectly honest.

Many women in their 40s and 50s experience feeling stuck with fashion for several key reasons:

  • Changing Body Shape: Natural physical changes during this life stage can make previously reliable styles feel less flattering, leading to uncertainty about what works now.
  • Fashion Industry Focus: Most fashion marketing and trends target younger demographics, making it challenging to find age-appropriate yet stylish inspiration.
  • Identity Transition: This age brings significant life changes, causing women to question their personal style and how to express themselves authentically.
  • Societal Expectations: Conflicting messages about “age-appropriate” dressing versus staying trendy can create confusion and hesitation.
  • Limited Options: Many clothing lines don’t cater well to this age group, offering either overly young or matronly options with little in between.

Theses phase can be an opportunity to redefine personal style and embrace fashion that combines comfort, sophistication, and self-expression.

How ever this phase can be an opportunity to redefine personal style and embrace fashion that combines comfort, sophistication, and self-expression.

Breaking Free from Fashion Stagnation

Just because your in the second act of life doesn’t  men your not part of the

man stage! Despite what all the society may say; your  chic ! I remember a time

I stared to filling done about ageing especially  when menopause hit  like a

tone of breaks! It was no joke;  it left me feeling tired and unworthy no longer

filling like myself;  it wasn’t until I faced my on reality did I start to met my self

were Iwas at aka my new reality . No I’m not in my 20’s 30’s hack not even in

my 40’s and you know what  that’s OKAY –  I’m in my beautiful 50’s!  and

thank God for itand you should too no matter were you fall in the spectrum.

It’s just a number that society has manipulated to make a profit off you.

Fashion can still be fun; you can still shine with what you already have in your

closet. Think about it – most of the stuff there putting out in the stores; you

probably already have or had at one point or anther; you just need a little refresher that’s all ; so here are some helpful tip:

  • Experiment with Classics: Build a wardrobe of timeless pieces that can be styled in modern ways
  • Focus on Fit: Invest in quality tailoring to ensure clothes complement your current body shape
  • Mix High and Low: Combine investment pieces with trendy accessories to create fresh, age-appropriate looks
  • Trust Your Instincts: Choose clothes that make you feel confident, regardless of “age-appropriate” rules

“Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.” – Betty Friedan

The next time you start to daut yourself remind your self you are a bright and

shining star with the ability to light up the room; with your smile and you kin

seance of fashion and wisdom!

 

The End!

Say yes to life – Win the big picture!

In the quiet of the dawn, a moment’s peace is found, To sit in silent contemplation, where no distractions abound. Breathe in the fresh new day, let the air fill your chest, Mindfulness in practice, a tranquil moment’s rest-
Every day Life  greeted  us with more things on our plate then ever
 
before; women all over the would are experiencing burnout;
 
 “life pressures” – trying to keep up with the economy, kids,
 
husbandparents who are coming up in age – it’s no wonder why
 
women all over the world  are feeling  overwhelmed –
 
Research shows that women may feel overwhelmed due to:
1. Stress, anxiety, or depression, often linked to feelings of sadness or loneliness.
2. The pressure to be happy and active can be overwhelming, especially during season changes like spring.
3. Setting unreachable goals for themselves, leading to burnout.
4. Not taking breaks between tasks, leading to exhaustion.
5. Not maintaining a healthy diet or hydration, affecting their physical and mental health.
 
 
” At the tender age of 18 motherhood was no easy task – although
the energy of youth was present ; I not only felt overwhelmed –
burnout was a constant re- occurrence in my life. Age truly holds no
 bounds when it comes to the pressures of motherhood “
Notice the world around you, feel the earth beneath your feet, Listen to your heartbeat’s rhythm, steady and upbeat. Release the thoughts that burden, let them drift away, In this space of mindful stillness, only peace may stay-
 
fast forward years later – I’ve learned how to create space for
 
myself that allows for healing and rejuvenation– such as:
  1. Practice Mindfulness: Mindfulness can help in calming the mind and reducing feelings of overwhelm. This can be achieved through meditation, yoga, or simply taking a few moments to focus on one’s breath.
  2. Self-Care: Prioritize self-care activities such as good nutrition, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and time for relaxation and fun.
  3. Seek Support: Reach out to friends, family, or professionals for support when feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes, talking about feelings and challenges can provide a new perspective and reduce the burden.
  4. Set Boundaries: Learning to say ‘no’ and setting personal boundaries can help in managing stress and prevent feelings of overwhelm.
  5. Organize and Plan: Breaking down tasks into manageable chunks and planning the day or week can make things feel less overwhelming
Here are some simple yet powerful “techniques” –  that will aid you on your journey to living a calmer stress-free life style:
 
  • breathing exercises,
  • being kind to yourself
  • writing things down
  • Asking for help
  • going out in nature
Walk in gentle awareness, each step a conscious act, In the present is where life happens, that’s a simple fact. Mindfulness, a silent whisper, guiding you to be, In this moment, in this breath, truly present, truly free.
Creating and holding space for yourself allow you to receive clarity
 
alleviating the sense of overwhelms – Giving you the opportunity to
 
live a more for feeling life for yourself and the people you love.
