Summer isn’t my favorite since it lasts 8 months here, but I do my best to enjoy it. These are items that help make it bearable.

I’m not much for jewelry, but I adore handmade minimal pieces with a bit of bite.

Spring cleaning is the whole month of March for me, and it’s all about organizing this year!

After wearing designer heels for decades, my feet refuse anything missing “COMFORT” in the product description.

Sarcasm and beauty finds that actually do something for my 50 year old skin

Outfits and style for the powerful GenX women who abhor fast fashion.

I know it’s trite, but I do love a spring clean and refresh. These items help ease the transition to the too hot summers in Austin.

I’ll choose quality and sustainability over fast fashion every day.

Everyone turns into an itchy snot monster at least twice a year in Central Texas. This is my survival kit.

Practicality is my priority, and everything in my home must be pet friendly.

My kitchen essentials shifted significantly when my one and only offspring moved away for college. These are my go-tos now that I'm cooking for one!

I'm definitely not a beauty expert, but I value caring for my skin so I don't have to wear a face full of itchy makeup.

As I've aged, my hair has changed a bit. It's always been straight and baby fine. These are the products I'm currently loving for thinning hair, oily scalp.

No fast fashion here - just natural, sustainable fabrics in timeless and statement cuts.

My home is full of senior pets with various health and cognitive needs. I keep it simple when it comes to pet care purchases so I can focus on giving them all the love and attention they deserve.

As a long-time resident who is firmly in the non-influencer category, these are some of my Austin-area faves.
