Holiday Cocktail Survival Guide 🍸

Holiday Cocktail Survival Guide 🍸

Are you weary and suffering from last night’s holiday party? With the holiday season asking women to turn left and right, what are women to do? The kids are awaiting their parents and family coming to town, as well as having to gift that co-worker their favorite color for this year’s Secret Santa gift—it can all have you feeling a bit overwhelmed. All this does is have you waking up feeling hung over with puffy eyes. Here are some tips that I’ve used over the decades that have proven useful time after time.

1. Sleep In

I know everyone would tell you otherwise, but it’s true—there’s no use pushing your body more than you should. Giving yourself extra sleep will help not only your mood but also help alleviate tension in your body.

2. Say NO

Hey, it’s okay—you don’t have to do it all. Saying no shows that you are human; it also helps you uphold boundaries. The more you exercise your right to say no this holiday, the better you’ll feel.

3. Move Your Body

Last but not least, work out sessions. I know it could be hard to move your body, but if you want to not feel like a sumo wrestler is laying on top of you, moving your body is key. And let’s face it: as the aging process happens, the recovery time is longer. Moving your body will help move those muscles, signaling those blood vessels to your heart and brain that, hey, we have things to do. Not to mention you’ll look amazing in that outfit you have picked out this holiday.

Conclusion

The holidays are stressful for many reasons, but it doesn’t have to be so. Let’s tip our glasses for choosing us—choosing ourselves this holiday. Hugs! đź’ś

You’ve Always Had What It Takes ✨

You’ve Always Had What It Takes ✨

 

What if I told you that you’ve always had what it takes to make your dreams come true?

When World War Two hit, women found themselves in a state of frantic uncertainty—not only because their loved ones were off to war, but because many were truly alone for the first time in their lives. With no men around to protect or provide in the way they were accustomed to, and with all resources redirected to the war effort, women were left with scraps of food and barely enough materials to get by.

But here’s what happened: women didn’t crumble. They rolled up their sleeves and got to work. They came together, created plans, kept households running, and even made supplies to send to soldiers—keeping them warm and fed on the front lines.

How to Stop Being Left Behind When Others Say You’re Too Old

How to Stop Being Left Behind When Others Say You’re Too Old

Women across the world who find themselves in midlife are asking, “What’s the next chapter of my life going to look like?” These are usually the kind of women who are successful—those who were blessed to raise their kids while pursuing high-paying careers, or those who were fortunate enough to marry young and helped their spouses reach successful careers while they stayed home to take care of the kids. These are the type of women who are the backbone of society. But what happens when they find themselves in midlife?

Nowadays, women are taught that you are only as lovely as your waistline is small—go figure. How is it that with all the success women have achieved, we are still being held back by these outdated beliefs?

If you find yourself caught in some of these traps, here are some key steps that will free you from the grip of thinking your value is only as precious as your body type:

1. Stop Trying to Be Like Everyone Else

The big picture

 “The big picture”  –

 🌸You are exactly where you need to be. 🌸

In a world consumed by social media comparisons and endless noise telling you that you’re not enough—not pretty enough, not smart enough, not successful enough—this blog is your reminder that it’s all bullshit.

Before the age of social media, people relied on something far more powerful: their imagination. They didn’t wait for validation from strangers online. They moved forward with their dreams despite the doubters.

Think about Thomas Edison, who was called crazy for trying to change the world with his inventions. Thank God he believed in his work—otherwise, we’d all be stumbling over our cats in the dark! Or Harriet Tubman, who risked everything to lead enslaved people to freedom through the Underground Railroad. She was terrified, but she moved forward anyway. Continue reading “The big picture”

Three Reasons Why Homemade Chicken Soup is Good for You!

With the holiday in toe its;  cold season is in the air- believe  home made soup

can help sooth any cold let along heal the heart; one of the things I looked

forward to have as a young girl; was my mom’s soup; she would take the time

to perfectly spread crackers around the bream od the said of the bowl; What

are some of your founders memory  of having a bowl of soup?

Three Reasons Why Homemade Chicken Soup is Good for You

  1. Boosts immune system and fights inflammation: Homemade chicken soup contains nutrients from the chicken bones, vegetables, and herbs that have anti-inflammatory properties. The amino acids released from bone broth, particularly cysteine, help thin mucus and support immune function, making it a powerful remedy during illness.
  2. Provides essential nutrients and hydration: Rich in vitamins (A, C, K), minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus), collagen, and protein, homemade chicken soup nourishes your body at a cellular level. The warm broth also helps keep you hydrated, which is crucial for overall health and recovery from illness.
  3. Supports gut health and digestion: The gelatin and collagen from slow-cooked chicken bones help heal and seal the gut lining, promoting better digestion and nutrient absorption. This gut-healing property makes chicken soup especially beneficial for those with digestive issues or leaky gut syndrome.

Why Chicken Soup is Good for the Soul

Beyond its physical healing properties, chicken soup nourishes the soul

through comfort and connection. The act of making soup—chopping

vegetables, simmering broth, stirring with intention—is a meditative practice

that grounds us in the present moment. When we’re sick or struggling, a warm

bowl of homemade chicken soup carries the energy of care, whether made by

our own hands or by someone who loves us. It reminds us of being cared for as

children, of family traditions, and of the simple truth that nourishment is an act

of love. The warmth soothes not just the body but the spirit, offering comfort

during life’s cold and difficult seasons. Chicken soup feeds us on multiple

levels—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—making it true soul food in every sense.

 5 must haves – Full 2025

Believe it or not autumn has the ability to bring forth magic in your life –

Weather you belie in such things – indulge me  if not just for a bit.

Before “autumn” aka  “fall” became standardized, this season was often

simply called “harvest” in English, reflecting its agricultural importance. The

poetic associations of autumn with maturity and the natural beauty of

changing leaves have made it a rich source of literary and artistic inspiration throughout history.

One of the many things I’ve  always loved about autumn is the death and

rebirth aspect . One minute the leaves are green next the

tress are bare. We’re  fused to take life by the balls- think

about it –   When I was a young girl –  I remember all the fuse

my mom would make  when fall was approaching – making

sure my brother and I were in tip top shape, so we were ready for the new

school year – was her men objection.   I can still remember the small of  the

new  – ” scratch and sniff sticker – I’d  put on all  my brained new note books strawberry was my fav. Continue reading “5 must haves – Full 2025”
