If you missed out on the Broadway musical hit Hamilton tickets as I did, block your calendar, because one week from today - on Friday, October 21st at 9pm ET PBS is airing a 90 minute special about it with cast performances. This isn't just any review, it is a behind the scenes documentary about the creator's journey while developing the show. It is also a great time to sit down with your family for some entertainment and history. Check out "Hamilton's America" trailer above....

IN THE MOOD FOR REFLECTION

by moodse5_wp

Uncategorized

"Americans are obsessed with happiness - and it's making us miserable". Lol! Per Ruth Whippman a Brit and author living in the USA. We laugh, but maybe she has a point and it is at least worth thinking about. Did my kid make the A team? Get invited to the party? Should I go to the gym or catch up on my much needed rest? Should I start that gratitude journal or pick up Gretchen Rubin's best seller Happier at Home? The book The Alchemist told me I should know my passion and pursue it. What is my passion? I should know it! She seems nice, I'd like to be her friend, but will she like me? Do...

IN THE MOOD FOR CORE

Fitness

Are we ever in the mood for core workouts? Maybe not. But I do need them. Some days (like today for me) we can't make it to the gym and just want someone to tell us what to do so we can get it done, quickly. So here you go. I've got 1 to share! We can do (try) anything for 6 minutes right? We just follow along (the best we can) as we watch Lauren Kleban's video. Forget crunches. Planks are where it's at. Nothing but a device, floor, mat, and maybe elbow pads are needed - so we have no excuses right? Lauren is a former professional dancer, choreographer, Hollywood trainer, and now digital fitness...

IN THE MOOD TO UNWIND

by moodse5_wp

Fitness

I am addicted to a gadget that instantly relieves my aches and gets the kinks out. It is effective at easing muscle tension and blood flow. This is something you can do anytime in just a few minutes. Also, it is affordable and easy to use. Although it feels like I am sharing a secret many of you likely already know about the foam roller, a post workout gadget that really helped me and I got hooked on when I was seeing a physical therapist for an injured rotator cuff. Click HERE for 6 moves from Well + Good. I have the Power Systems roller $15 from Amazon click HERE. However, rumor has it that the Rumble Roller...

IN THE MOOD SCOTCH & SODA

by moodse5_wp

Beauty

No, not the drink! Having recently stumbled upon the cute Scotch & Soda Amsterdam fashion brand, I decided it is too good not to share. See below for my recent purchase. Since velvet and loafers are on trend I will be dusting off my vintage velvet blazer and Gucci loafers. Trends usually repeat and if you are older than 25, we can often find in our own closet what we need to be on trend. One of the benefits of ageing. I've decided that my favorite Fall pairing of all time is a jean with a white top. Click HERE for the Outnet's picks. My recent Fall Fashion haul is listed below. Each can be worn separately styled up or...

IN THE MOOD FALL MUSE

by moodse5_wp

Beauty

It's Back To School time and the Fall fashion frenzy is all about velvet, faux fur (in mules), block heels, loafers, brown, green, patchwork, raw edges, high waists, puffy sleeves, neck scarves, handbag guitar straps, bombers, and stirrup pants. Not all together. Wait. Well, maybe. I mean, I have yet to read that all those trends can't be worn at the same time! I am sure it's been tried on the runway. Since my blog really isn't a fashion site but I do find fashion trends entertaining, I will select a Fall muse. And the winner is...

The Teen Choice Awards are on now YAY and there is a commercial break plus it is August 1st tomorrow, so I thought I'd share with you some thoughts about summer that I had this weekend. I'm beginning to think that I should tune out all of the summer fashion (and makeup) advice. Let's get real. The only essential item I wear every single day? Sunglasses! I mean hardly anyone ever sees my eyes in summer because they are always covered by my sunglasses! So I'm starting to ask myself - why bother even with eye makeup? I barely notice what other women are sweating in, I mean, wearing in summer. But I always do notice sunglasses...
