TMI - Perimenopause (PM) totally changed the texture of my hair, the sensitivity of my skin, the strength of my nails, and don't get me started on allergies! So through years of trial & error, this is a collection of the products that I've used and loved for more than 90 days, which means they've outlasted the ever-changing symptoms of PM. I prefer budget-friendly and widely-available items so you're not likely to find fancy brands here. As I find new faves, I'll add them here!

My taste in books is similar to my taste in music, total vibes! I don't stick to one genre or author, and I am fully influenced by a pretty cover. So if you're open to a totally unhinged collection of reads, check out these stacks!

We've been on the road for a few months now, so I'm a bit more comfortable sharing what we love, what we use, and what we're willing to bring in our camper van where space is LIMITED and every item (and oz) counts!

I swore by Saucony running gear for years, but recently gave Brooks a go and never looked back! Brooks has come a long way…will try out their new line of tops and shorts and report back! And because balance, I also have some no-brand gear that I swear by and I'll share it all here.

After a lot of trial & error, here are the things that I always have on hand for my senior pup!

My kitchen must haves as a totally UN-professional home cook. Recipes and instructions hate to see me coming, LOL. My kitchen tools, like my meals, need to be easy to use and unfussy. So here are some things that meet that criteria!

Our camper van's maiden voyage took us to Sonoma County and we enjoyed every bite & sip of this little gem of a town! This is the most welcoming version of wine country I've been to.
