8 Amazon finds I actually love and would buy again. These are everyday things that work. Travel makeup bag, lip scrub, dry shampoo, realistic tulips, blackhead solution, kitchen chairs and more. Nothing trendy. Just solid Amazon favorites. Comment A...

Unsexy Amazon finds I swear by as a tired mid 40s mom of 4. Nose hair trimmer. Armpit scrub. The little mustache shaver. Whitening strips. My favorite deodorant. Glycolic Acid. Weighted vest. Nothing glamorous. Just practical things that make...

Any other over-40 moms getting back into reading now that the kids are older and at school? Have you read any of these? I listened to most of these while folding laundry or doing dishes. I joke that you can always tell how good my book is by how cle...

Here I am. A regular over-40, size 14 mom of 4 wearing a swimsuit. I styled it with a simple sarong so I could cover up a bit while still showing the ruffle detail. This swimsuit is midsize friendly and true to size. I'm wearing an XL. Save this f...

Self care doesn't need its own to-do list. This fits into real life. If you want the weighted vest I use, comment VEST and I'll send it. What's one thing you do for yourself that doesn't add extra stress or extra time?

Self care doesn't need its own to-do list. Comment EYE PATCHES if you want the ones I use. What's one small thing that helps you feel better during the day?

I own both, so I feel comfortable saying this. This Amazon top looks almost identical to the Lululemon one. Same vibe, same fit, same look. I actually get more compliments when I wear the Amazon version. I love high quality, name brand clothes as m...

Hi, I'm Erica. A midsize mom in her 40s who's had weight changes, life changes, and at some point lost her sense of style. I went from dresses and heels to sweatpants and pajamas. Now I'm figuring out something in the middle. I share casual, everyday...

Am I the only one who doesn't dress up for Easter? At our house it's pretty casual. We spend the day at home with family. We have a kids' egg hunt and an adult egg hunt, eat way too much, laugh, and play games. So instead of dressing up, I keep it ...
