You are such a beautiful lady and sweet friend. It's important to take good care of ourselves and have a healthy self image. Your post made me think about my profile pics...always on a hike, no make up, no jewelry. But it's when I'm happiest...and the real me. Enjoy your afternoon!

It works wonders by just backing off them, even a little bit. Like having one piece of toast instead of two or only 1/2 a bagel. I love the new "Carb Balance" tortillas by Mission, for a sandwich wrap for lunch.<br />I like to flavor my water with some of the zero calorie drops that are popular now. I find I drink MUCH more water if it has some flavor to it & that helps wt. loss, too.<br /><br />Love your pretty hydrangeas...I have a few PINK ones blooming & must get some pictures before they are gone.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />RettRettabughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974677657528087286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-15502980636273084432014-07-08T18:24:38.623-07:002014-07-08T18:24:38.623-07:00You look very effortlessly chic.

Less is more, not in how much you wear, (yikes!), but in overall appearance, that's why I like your silver earrings, a watch and a complementary top with pant, and a summer glow re: makeup.<br /><br />Simple sophistication!

I like your style. You look very put together, but also comfortable. I find it harder and harder to find a look I'm happy with at this stage of life. I think your fashion blogs might be just the thing I need to check out for some guidance. <br />Your water looks most refreshing. Most days I just drink plenty of water with plenty of ice. Although I have been known to add cucumber slices, mint leaves or lemon slices on occasion.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-57024189714163144872014-07-07T13:17:10.246-07:002014-07-07T13:17:10.246-07:00Lorrie, tu es admirable : je n'oserais jamais ...Lorrie, tu es admirable : je n'oserais jamais poster une photo de moi en pied comme ça (déjà, je n'ai pas de vêtements présentables, mais des vêtements pleins de terre à cause du jardinage !)
