Mid-Life Crisis!?!



What is a Midlife Crisis?

Google defines a “crisis” as -a time of difficulty, trouble, or danger. It also defines it as -a time when a difficult or important decision must be made. Hummm?

When I turned forty a few years back, I had my first semi- mid life crisis. Because of my obesity I never thought I’d live to be forty. I was a grandmother at Thirty-Eight years old and my second grandchild at Forty. I went into a depressed existence a few times a year. I began to equate  getting old as feeling old. I was feeling like I should be waiting on my golden years. I wasn’t living my life as I ought to have been. I was a mom and housewife and that’s all I knew how to be.

A year ago I had another “Midlife Crisis” but it was Googles other definition of an important decision needed to be made. I wanted to LIVE and not only live but live for ME! I decided that my semi empty nest afforded me to finally live my OWN life unapologetically. I wanted better health, to travel, explore different things that I kept at bay because I didn’t want any new hobbies or interests to come before my family.

I realized that my life wasn’t over but it had just begun and I wanted to live it!

What Will Be Your New Years Resolutions?

It is an age old tradition to aspire to make each year better or greater than the year before. When December rolls around, we begin to rewind our lives in our minds eye to see if we can come up with a NEW plan to undo mistakes made or better ourselves in some way going into the new year. Lists are made, gym memberships are joined, bibles are being dug out of hiding places and don’t forget! We always seem to be diligent about removing toxic people from our lives.   How many of us actually keep with our resolutions? Do they seem to fade out by March of the new year or sooner? Are we putting too many demands on ourselves all at once to achieve a better life? I say to each his own. If making bucket lists or FINALLY joining a gym is something you want to do, then do it! If you’ve created a “New Year, New You” list and only have success with one out of forty, than that is an accomplishment in my book.  Fresh starts and new beginnings  allow us to wipe away the old to ...

Oil Of Olay Total Effects “28 Day” Challenge || Review 👍🏾👎🏾

One of my favorite YouTube influencers announced a challenge to try out the Oil of Olay Total Effects 7 in One Anti Aging Moisturizer last December. I know, I know, I’m kinda late with the review but better late than never, right??? Anyhoo, I decided to take the challenge and purchased my product off of Amazon immediately. I say immediately because for one: it was an immediate reaction to this challenge and two: I had been looking for a decent moisturizer because my skin suffers badly from excessive dryness in the winter. The Summer months? Forget about it. I get severe sunburn on my face and arms and the residual damage lasts well into Winter most times. So, I received my product in three days and only began to apply at night before bedtime. First let’s talk about the texture of the moisturizer.
