Every so often, when I least expect it, I change. I don't always see it coming, sometimes it is a surprise and sometimes it is like a big weight has been lifted off me.
Right now the biggest change is that I have quit wearing most makeup. I never wore a lot but as I have aged I have worn more trying to regain my youth. Ok, you can quit laughing now, it wasn't THAT funny. It is something that has been coming on gradually. I have been omitting steps a little more at a time until here I am -- a little eye makeup and a little lip balm -- bam! I am done. I love it. With that said, the skincare routine has been upped which has made such a difference. I am very comfortable with my decision.
I have also morphed into wearing a formula wardrobe. I read a blog written by a woman who does this and it makes sense. Of course, she is tiny and attractive (and has also quit wearing makeup -- yes, her blog influenced me) but her approach is very do-able even if you aren't tiny and attractive. So, my colors are black, white, gray and navy. Throw in some splashes of turquoise and red (I love to carry a red handbag) and I am good. But what makes it different for me right now is I am looking for thin t-shirts. This is new for me. I normally wouldn't wear something like that but I have a Girl Scout jersey that is thin and it feels so good so I thought......yeah, a new me!
That isn't all that has changed. I am finally taking time, again, to do some of the things I like to do -- like card making! I finally got all my supplies organized and I sat down to make my oldest granddaughter a birthday card. She has now reached double digits and likes to dance so this is what I came up with.
So, what do you think? I have another done that I will post at a later date.

Yay! That card is lovely. Well done you!
Hi, Mary! Thank you! I wish you had been here to watch me make this -- you would have been on the floor laughing. I never knew such a battle with an ink pad could ensue -- definitely not my more stellar moment! But. it is pink and sparkly so she will like it.
