It’s Time to Change the Conversation Because We Are Badass Women
I noticed lately that when I get together with girlfriends we spend a good amount of time whining, complaining, bitching and moaning about the perils of aging. The wrinkles have sneaked up, the weight keeps coming on even though our diets and exercise routines haven’t changed, the eyesight just keeps getting worse, the knees hurt when we climb stairs, our menstrual cycles are all wacky, the gray hairs are taking over, we hit peak tiredness by 8 p.m., and on and on. You get the gist. It’s like suddenly we realize we’re middle-aged and our conversations change. We commiserate with others who understand us, and naturally, we support our collective…

***Neutrogena Goodie Bag Giveaway***
Last month I attended the Weallgrow Latina Influencer conference and Neutrogena was one of the main sponsors. They pampered me nonstop and made me feel like a true goddess. I learned a lot about their skincare products and some very useful, professional makeup tips. As we age, our skin needs more attention than ever and you need to moisturize like it’s your job.

5 PRODUCTS EVERY WOMAN OVER 40 SHOULD HAVE
When I first became a mom, I was astonished at how many products there were to assist new parents. I quickly discovered all these wonderful things that made parenting a little bit less daunting and life a little bit easier, like the baby carrier sling, the Boppy feeding pillow, the Bumbo seat, and my life-saving portable baby monitor. I may no longer have babies at home but the habit of looking for products that change your world and make life easier has remained. With more time to focus on myself in my rocking 40s, these are some of my favorite products that I simply cannot do without and have made…

Throwback References Our Kids Will Never Understand…Sadly
The other day I was sitting at the dining room table with my sons. We were each doing our thing – they were doing homework, and I was working on my laptop. Suddenly, the light went off (we have a timer on it) and I instinctively clapped twice in hopes it would turn on again. Of course, it didn’t because we don’t have the Clapper. Nonetheless, they looked at me with a bewildered look on their face. “Mom, why did you just clap like that?” my 7-year old asked. So, I sang: Clap on! (clap, clap) Clap off! (clap, clap) Clap on, clap off, the clapper! All I get are…
