Hello, darlings! I hope you had a wonderful week. It’s been snowing in some areas of the midwest…can you believe it? What crazy weather. I hope you are staying warm and healthy wherever you are.

This week we had many great articles on the blog, including fitness tips and tricks for staying healthy after 50, how to keep meaningful female friendships and a unique travel blog taking us to The Great Barrier Reef.

Here are a few of my weekend musings to round the week out.

Best Women’s Perfumes

“Just like men, perfume is never perfect right away; you have to let it seduce you”- Jean Patou

I love a wonderful perfume. The perfect scent can make you feel like a princess or even a queen.

Town and Country put together the top 25 new perfumes on the market for any season. I had fun going through and reading each one and imagining what they would smell like on my skin.

What is your favorite perfume?

The Meaning of Your Last Name

Have you ever wondered what your last name means?

Our last names connect us to our ancestors and the important people in our lives. With the holidays coming up, I thought it would be fun to do a little digging into my last name. This fun experiment led me to discover documents from as early as the 1840s and even find out what my Ancestors used to do for a living. How amazing is that?

Search your last name HERE and have fun! You could do this for hours and learn so much about your roots.
