Avocado green and macramé weren’t just trends—they were a vibe, and every woman I knew wanted her house to say as much. The 1970s had this wild confidence, a sort of permission slip to mix patterns, pile on the color, and let your personality explode in every room. If you grew up in a house…
Let’s get one thing straight—love after 50 isn’t about pressing a reset button. It’s about showing up, fully loaded with all the stories, laugh lines, and boldness you’ve earned. If you’re back in the dating pool (or just dipping a toe), there’s no shortage of old-school myths ready to make you second-guess your shot at…
Because what’s old-school is suddenly ultra-cool again. The magic of language is how it circles back—like your favorite pair of jeans making a comeback, retro phrases from decades past are all over socials and group chats. It’s hilarious how words your mom or even grandma used casually are now popping up on TikTok, dressed up…
Because love isn’t just a feeling — it’s a daily choice. Marriage isn’t about perfection — it’s about partnership. And while grand gestures are sweet, it’s the small, consistent actions that build trust, closeness, and lasting happiness over time. We all know cute Instagram couple pics don’t mean a thing if you’re not showing up…
Okay, let’s get real for a second. Dating after 50 isn’t for the faint of heart, but it can be a wild ride—especially when men make hilarious, head-scratching assumptions about what we actually want. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard guys brag about their cars or act like they’re the first man…
You give. You care. You carry more than anyone sees. But when Mother’s Day rolls around, instead of basking in appreciation, you catch yourself thinking: “Did I do enough?” “Am I a good mom?” “Do I even deserve a celebration?” That’s mom guilt talking — and it’s lying to you. This year, it’s time to…
Mother’s Day is supposed to be about rest, love, and appreciation. But for many moms? It ends up feeling like just another day where she’s smiling through the chaos, managing the mood of the household, and thanking everyone else for trying — while secretly wishing someone would just get it. Because here’s the truth: emotional…
When you’re a kid, Mother’s Day is simple — hugs, handmade cards, and maybe breakfast in bed. But honestly, as adults, celebrating Mom gets way more complicated. Life is loud, time is short, and it’s way too easy to skip over the words that matter most. I’m talking about the real stuff — those little…
Mother’s Day might seem like a modern, flower-filled Hallmark holiday — but its roots run deep, and the story behind it is anything but predictable. From ancient rituals to presidential proclamations, this special day has a fascinating history that few people realize when they’re picking out cards or ordering flowers. What began as a peace…
By 65, your mom has likely been through it all — the chaos of parenting, the highs and lows of aging, and maybe even a few decades of pretending to love scented candles she didn’t actually want. This year, I say we skip the generic gifts and focus on what she’ll actually use, love, and…
