I have been a makeup and skincare wearer for nearly 30 years. Over time, my wants and needs have changed. This list focuses on my current needs, as a 40-something mother who takes about 10-15 minutes to apply her daily makeup.

Planning to look good whether we’re running errands or running on the track!

Recommendations of clothing stores and brands with women’s sizes 8-18 in mind. Finding clothing that’s cute AND in stock can be challenging at times. This list includes brands that are consistently both - unless marked otherwise!

Restaurants in and around Marion and Hamilton Counties that have been approved by an 8 year old, a 9 year old and the two adults. :)

This list provides names of restaurants, shops and accommodations that are dog-friendly in the Indianapolis area. My primary focus will be in the Indy, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield and Noblesville area. I’ll continue to add recs to the list as I come across more! :)
