Wellness & fun for midlife women.

So when you’re in your 50s, many people want you So when you’re in your 50s, many people want you to step back. Let the younger generation take over….but we’re not retired and we’re better than ever. We’re active, we’re traveling, and our businesses are thriving. Why be quiet?

I’m several months into a major weight loss and I’m not selling diddly squat. I’m freely telling people what worked for me: no shots, no meds, all calorie counting and increasing activity. There are no shortcuts but you CAN do it. Is it easy? No…but it’s doable, and I feel fantastic. No more tummy-tuck layers, holding my breath for pics or going without the food I want. I’m not selling anything but I can tell you what I did…for free. I don’t believe in gatekeeping, but I will send you a link to my blog post. I used Noom…and a freaking ton of willpower and looking forward to the future. You CAN do it, even in menopause. You can enjoy whatever you want while being mindful. Wellness is easier than it looks. (And throw in some affordable and convenenient at-home HRT help and related guidance with @hone.health, and you'll cover all your bases!)

Midlife is the time to pick those brushes back up Midlife is the time to pick those brushes back up and get creative! I signed up for a paint and sip night at Solorio Brewing and had a blast! For only $5 (and the cost of a beer…or two), Jennifer led us through a tutorial to paint a beach scene worthy of hanging on my wall! (Art is subjective so no judgment 😂😂) I haven’t painted on canvas in forever but this has motivated me to pick up the hobby that was once my college major. 

Joining the military, having kids, starting a career…these things all pull us in multiple directions and we sometimes have to put aside an interest we once loved. That doesn’t mean it’s permanent though! What have you delayed doing? Go out and do it! Take the time for yourself, get out of your brain and stop thinking about what’s stressing you out, even if only for a few hours. It makes you better in the end!

Dinner and a movie = fun family night. Tacos and b Dinner and a movie = fun family night. Tacos and bevs at Sancho’s Tacos Claremont followed by Close Encounters of the Third Kind at the Laemmle. Don’t wait until the weekend to get out and do the things! It’s easy to get into the habit of Monday through Friday being a work week but those are too many days to just focus on one thing. Life’s short, cram in as many family moments as you can.

It’s summer, and summer means ice cream! Try thi It’s summer, and summer means ice cream! Try this new Kettle Corn-Infused Vanilla Bean Ice Cream that you can easily make in your Ninja Creami. I used Hatch Pepper Kettle Corn from Melissa’s Produce and it was delicious, coming in at 375 calories and 38 grams of protein for the entire pint. I may or may not have eaten it for breakfast today.

I also share a rundown on Melissa’s Produce summer fruits and the summary of the Hatch Pepper recipe demo by Chef Tom Fraker, as well as Hatch Pepper fun facts, courtesy of Robert from Melissa’s! Another fun lunchtime foodie event inspired by the incredible pepper that is only available two months of the year.
Learn more about the Hatch Pepper’s origins, where to find it (beginning August 1) and how to roast and/or use them...but you do definitely want to try some roasted. You won’t be sorry.
