Cara Florie

At 55, I take supplements to support my energy, heart, bones, and overall wellness. I’ve learned what works best for my body as it changes.

In March of 2023 I had a heart attack at the age of 53. I woke up at 1:00am and knew instantly what was happening. 6 months later I needed a CABG x 2. This was the scariest time in my life. This list entails everything from symptoms, healing, health & wellness as well as how I navigate life with CAD.

My Tried-and-True Favorites at 55” At 55, I know what works—and what’s worth skipping. My favorite products are all about comfort, quality, and a little bit of everyday luxury. Think skincare that nourishes and glows without the fuss, wellness essentials that keep my energy up and my mind clear. I’ve learned that investing in what feels good and lasts is always worth it. These aren’t just products—they’re part of the life I love living.

Gigi is our 1 y/o Mini Australian Shepherd. Oh how we love her so. She came after our Sheltie named Stella passed away from a heart problem caused by grain free food. So obviously I advocate against giving that kind of food to our fur babies.

These fragrances smell like a sweet tooth’s dream. Think pink sugar, peach rings, whipped vanilla, and cotton candy melting on warm skin. In the past year I really became a fragrance lover thanks to my 19 y/o daughter.

Whenever I travel, I love finding spots that feel authentic, not just touristy. These are places I’ve either tried myself or heard amazing things about — whether it’s local favorites, hidden gems, or just can’t-miss bites. I always look for great flavors, good vibes, and a little something special about each place.

Loving Gucci handbags is easy once you understand what makes them special. Here’s why I am so passionate about them: They are timeless, versatile, and hold their value. My love for Gucci started back in 1983 when my mom bought me my first bag. Oh, what I would do to still have this bag. If I recall correctly, I believe I sold it at a garage sale. Young, and not so smart.

A cocktail pool is like a glamorous oversized bathtub that lives in your backyard — big enough for a few friends, small enough to heat quickly, and designed for chill vibes over Olympic training.
