I just got back from a five-day cruise to Cozumel, Mexico, and Bimini, The Bahamas, AKA The Riviera Maya, with Virgin Voyages. It was a blast, and I felt I packed very well. I wanted to share what I wore on my Virgin Voyages cruise as an over-40, size 14/16 petite woman. Why I’m Sharing…
My sister and I have been going to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, for at least one long weekend a summer for over two decades. At first, this annual Rehoboth Beach girls’ weekend getaway included our mom. When my daughter was born in 2009, she joined us. Our mom passed away just over a month after our…

As a grown-ass woman, I was very focused on what I packed to wear for four days in Las Vegas in the winter. Winter in Las Vegas is 40-60 degrees and going for my 50th birthday, I wanted to be prepared, festive, but not corny or uncomfortable. I know I am not the only person…
