When I was 19 years old (barely a legal adult and almost half a lifetime ago), I made the decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery. I was young, in a new relationship and there was a lot of pressure to be perfect. Oftentimes that meant changing things about your body, but it made me comfortable knowing so many other women had made the same choice. As far as I knew, the surgery was completely safe and with minimal side effects. It’s certainly a personal choice, but I am and always have been supportive of making decisions that are right for you, especially if they make you feel better about yourself (I honestly didn’t know what I had). Shortly after the surgery, I began experiencing notable but peculiar symptoms.
Champagne Laurent-Perrier & The Elle Women in Hollywood Event 2021
Since last Tuesday, I might have repeated it countless times, but the overwhelming sense of honor and gratitude still lingers within me. Being a part of something truly grand has left an indelible mark. As we delve into this week's "An Outfit and a Glass of Wine," I am dedicating it to one of my all-time favorite opportunities.
An Outfit and a Glass of Wine | Winter Whites
Typically this time of year, I have fully made the switch to red wine. I just love a heavy glass of cab or malbec when the temperatures drop. But since moving to Phoenix, I have changed up my seasonal drinking to just match the mood of the day. And this oftentimes depends on the weather. This year, it’s warm. It’s cooler than summer, but it is still very very warm. I can’t bring myself to completely switch over.

Ernest Hemingway Book Club
I have sat down to read many of Ernest Hemingway’s books over the years. It’s no secret that I’m intrigued on many levels by his career, life, and most of all, his love life. My interest was sparked years ago when reading The Paris Wife, a book about what many claim to be Ernest’s one and only true love, even though he had many lovers.

Chatting R + F Lash Boost | Guest Writer Nicole Rowe
Rodan & Fields Lash Boost actually changed my life…
No really!
I got my eyelash extensions out for a year when I was living abroad. I obviously have no lashes left after years and years of damage. Not all eyelash extensions cause damage but my lashes were not a fan. My mom actually sent me abroad with two bottles of Rodan & Fields Lash Boost to help my lashes regrow!

Valentine’s Day has a whole new meaning around here now that I have a little girl around. Kevin and I have been together almost 10 years and he’s always made sure that Valentine’s Day was a special time to celebrate us. In the past, we loved to travel and dine out, while occasionally staying home and doing something special here. We LOVE to celebrate our favorite holiday of the year. It’s always go big or go home around here and that’s why we choose Ferrero Golden Gallery Signature chocolates every time.

The older I get, the more I am reminded by my outer appearance of that fact. It seems like there’s nothing that will stop the inevitable; aging. While on my search for the fountain of youth, I came across research on the Coenzyme Q10.
