I am so happy that I finally found the perfect polish for Summer 2016. It might sound silly but since I’m a creature of habit I usually choose a different color each season and then stick to it. Sometimes I get bored and change it up but 90% of the time I stay consistent.

CONFESSIONS OF A MIDDLE-AGED LEGGINGS FANATIC
I am an over fifty woman who lives in workout clothing all day and I absolutely love Lululemon Pace Rival Crop leggings. I am a leggings fanatic and I have a list of criteria that must be met before I purchase new ones. My day revolves around fitness, both at the gym and at home on my computer blogging about it. I want to be comfortable but I also want to look good, not easy to accomplish when you’re a middle-aged woman.
GREAT GLUTEN FREE LOW CALORIE CRACKERS
This week my featured fave is Suzie’s Corn, Quinoa and Sesame Thin Cakes, a gluten free, low calorie cracker that I use for every topping imaginable. They taste delicious plain but are subtle enough to use sweet or savory. What I love the most is that each cracker has only about 13 calories and that’s for a big cracker! When I need something to snack on these are my go to base for everything from peanut butter to grilled chicken to hummus. They are also extremely low sodium and fat free. There are so many women over fifty who have gone gluten free but unfortunately many gluten free products contain a lot of calories, salt, sugar or fat. Suzie’s Corn, Quinoa and Sesame Thin Cakes are about as pure as they come.
BEST BODY MOISTURIZER FOR OVER 50 SKIN
This week my featured fave is Josie Maran Argan Balm. It is absolutely the best body moisturizer I’ve found for my over fifty skin. As I’ve aged the skin on my body has become very dry and crepey. This balm is very thick and concentrated and is super hydrating. I usually apply it right after I’ve taken a shower. It comes in a tin and I scoop out little bits and first rub between my hands to warm and soften before applying it to my body. I can actually feel and see the texture of my skin improving as I rub it in.
