#ForeverYoung

I've teamed up with Olay for today's post and we're talking skincare, ladies.

Upon hitting my mid-30’s, I very quickly realized how important my mental and physical health would become in growing old gracefully. This officially became evident when I was faced with chasing around my two gorgeous, toddler daughters. It takes energy to keep up with those nuggets and the demands of a full-time job.

Candy colored.

Writing this post makes me crave candy. It's been over a week and I'm afraid to touch the stuff since the stomach flu. Still feeling after shocks from that one. If I can't indulge on Christmas, you better feed me a LOT of wine because I will be one grumpy girl.

Party ready with Lulu's!

There's something about the holidays that stirs up the dressier side in me. Break out the sequins...the oxblood...the beaded clutches and fancy heels! This season gives me permission to indulge my girlie tendencies and be unapologetic about it.

"That's so clutch" - 5 holiday clutches for your repertoire.

So. I realize I talk about handbags and shoes quite a bit. As exhibited here. It's my vice so bear with me. (most are dream wish lists and what's a blog if not an escape, right people?!) Anyway...back to the situation at hand.

I'm sure you are in the throws of holiday parties like me. Today, for example, I have meetings in the city which means I carry my work tote all day. When the clock strikes 5 o'clock I have to gracefully pull a switch-a-roo into party attire and look flawless while doing it. Not an easy feat.
