A Holistic Approach to Wellness for Women in Their 50s: Nurturing Your Mind, Body, and Spirit

As we enter our 50s, it’s natural to experience both physical and emotional changes. I've certainly felt it myself. The transition into this new chapter of life brings challenges that require a balanced, thoughtful approach to health and wellness. Embracing holistic wellness—an approach that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit—has always been my guiding principle. Rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription, a holistic approach supports overall well-being through an integrated lifestyle. In this article, I'll share key components of holistic wellness that every woman in her 50s can benefit from. 1. Exercise: Moving Your Body with Purpose Physical activity becomes even more essential as we age. For me, walking is my preferred exercise, and I’ve found it to be both effective and gentle on the body. Regular exercise helps maintain bone density, muscle mass, and cardiovascular health, while also managing weight and reducing the risk of chronic conditions. Given that diabetes, hear...

2025 Goals

Welcome back to the blog and a brand new year! I'm so happy you are here. Today I will be sharing my goals both personal and professional for 2025. Personal Goals On a personal level, my goal is to improve my health. You will notice I did not say lose weight and there's a reason for that. I would prefer to be strong and healthy to skinny any day of the week. I would love to build up my muscles and improve my bone health. Now that I'm 49 and have been going through perimenopause for several years I value my daily workouts. Not only do my workouts improve my physical health but they have been instrumental in improving my mental health.  Walking  My favorite form of exercise is walking. I enjoy the quiet morning walks where I live and it puts me in a great mood for the day to simply be outside in the fresh air. Walking is my preferred method of outdoor exercise because it is a great way to lower my chances of diabetes, heart disease, and strokes ( at least according to Google)...

The Original Bed Buddy Warming Footies with Aromatherapy Review

Self care takes on a whole new meaning with The Original Bed Buddy Warming Footies with Aromatherapy.  My sister -in-law gave these to me a couple of years ago and I absolutely love them. I simply warm them up in my microwave ( I typically warm them up for 45 seconds) ,  and head to my favorite chair and place them on my feet and curl up with a good book, a cup of tea, and a cozy quilt. Review  I have already told you that I love these and here's why. First off the scent is so relaxing to me and it's not overpowering. The Warming Footies are lightly scented with eucalyptus,clove, and cinnamon. The heat lasts around an hour. It would probably last longer if I warmed them up for more than 45 seconds. That one hour is the most relaxing part of my entire day. I have no idea why but using the Footies helps ease the pain after being on my feet all day. I would definitely recommend trying them for yourself.  Highlights  Cozy and Comfortable  Instantly ...
