This post was originally published on Lydia’s Flexitarian Kitchen. This seems like a good time to update and revisit it. You may have experienced it already. The struggle to lift a couple bags of groceries or a gallon of milk to the counter. Or the need to grab a piece of furniture for support when rising…
I’ve done did it, y’all. All the crocheting and teaching myself to knit continental style (along with Norwegian style purling) has caused a fairly common injury called crafter’s elbow (widely known as tennis elbow or more precisely, lateral epicondylitis ). It hurts. A LOT. The injury is to a tendon that attaches the muscles of…
We’ve talked about the benefits of exfoliating your skin as well as several DIY masks you can make at home. Today I want to talk about how to do a steam facial at home.
Do you like to work out to music? Today I’m going to show you how you can create your own playlist that will be perfect for whatever type of exercise you choose. I’ve updated a post that was originally published on Lydia’s Flexitarian Kitchen in September 2013.
It’s Spa Time! The last time we had a spa day we talked about the benefits of dry skin brushing. Now, I know that most of us aren’t going to add an extra step to our shower routine, at least not every day. However, we all find time to take a shower and it doesn’t…
Rick and I have been talking about (and around) getting a dog. We were at a friend’s home and they had two sweeties who were more than happy to let us give them attention. Even though we’re retired, we’re pretty active and would have no trouble exercising a dog, but it would be nice to…

Today’s guest blogger is my friend Tree. She has been dipping her toes in the treacherous waters of Internet Dating. If you find yourself in a similar situation she has some advice for you… After 19 years of marriage to my high school sweetie, I never imagined I’d be single at middle age, but, that’s…
Way back in 1989 I took a childbirth class in preparation for the birth of my daughter. We were taught a couple breathing techniques to help us deal with labor. One was panting and the other was the steady, deep breathing we typically call diaphragmatic or belly breathing. I didn’t have much use for panting until…
My friend Robbie Lane has something to say, and I’m giving her some space to say it. I hope you enjoy today’s guest post. If you’re a “woman of a certain age” with something to say about what it means to be an older woman, let’s chat. I’d like to give you some space, too.
