Do you have clothes that are too skimpy, too tight, too short or too revealing for you to feel good wearing them? You don’t have to wear them out in public the way they are, yet you don’t have to get rid of them. You could, however, wear them at home with your significant other! 😉 But today I’ll share tips with you on how to be more modest in absolutely anything body conscious so you can go out anywhere, anytime in comfort and confidence. Then just have fun and enjoy yourself!

So let’s get started on exploring the ways to wear bodycon and then come up with some outfit ideas.

I was walking in the woods with my friend one day and she began to talk about her feet. (Maybe they were starting to get tired from the hike?) She went on to say how she was working hard to protect against fungal infections. She wanted to find something that worked, and said I should do a blog post on it sometime.
So I told her about the time I went to a podiatrist and he was raving about a new invention!

My son, Chris, and I have been making health goals together each month for years. I wrote about our experiences with this in my Health Goal Diary here on the blog. It has made a big difference in our health habits, especially with diet and exercise.
It has been beneficial to both of us. Age doesn’t matter. Besides keeping us healthy, it has kept our weight down and made us look our best.
We took a break when the weather got cold in the fall and the holidays rolled around. We got busy, sick, and then surrounded by holiday feasts and goodies.
When we decided to take a break from making health goals, we had a conversation about how overwork was taking a toll on us. Self care was lost in the shuffle and we needed to find time for ourselves and our needs. It was a goal that has not been easy to achieve.
Intending to think about what I needed to do to make time for myself, I dove right back into my work and never gave it another thought. So I’m taking a moment in writing this post about self care to explore what I need to do that I haven’t been doing all this time. I’m hoping this will be helpful to you as well.
Included is:
- What happens when we don’t make time for ourselves?
- Personal examples, both unsuccessful and successful.
- The basics of self care.
- Self-care tips based on specific needs.
- 20 general self-care tips.
As you read on, you’ll find more and more helpful information beyond what you might already think of, which I hope will inspire you with some helpful ideas.

Trying to find the right color lipsticks isn’t easy, even if you try them on in the store before getting home. The lighting is different, and it can be disappointing to discover that you don’t love the color like you thought you did. Age doesn’t matter. In this post, you will find out how to make your lipstick colors look spectacular!
The only way to end up at home with the perfect lipstick purchase every time is if you buy your favorite color over and over without the company ever discontinuing it and just give up trying new colors! The temptation is that there are new ones every season. 😉
Well, you can take things into your own hands and mix your own colors! That way, if a color isn’t so hot on you it can be mixed with other colors until you get exactly what you want.
