Let’s just get this out of the way:
I don’t have it all together. Not even close.

At almost 50, I’m teaching high school cosmetology, trying to breathe life into an online boutique (Apparel 212), and—because clearly I enjoy a challenge—I’m launching a food trailer that serves sourdough pizza and bubble tea.

Yes. You read that right. Pizza, bubble tea, and beauty school — all in one life.

This blog isn’t about being perfect. It’s about pivoting, trying, and starting over (again) with caffeine in hand and chaos in the background. Sometimes I’m winging it. Sometimes I’m wiping sauce off my shirt while writing product descriptions. Sometimes I’m wondering why on earth I thought this was a good idea.

But you know what? There’s joy in the mess. And I want to share that.

So if you’re into real talk, comfy clothes, good jeans (looking at you, Risen), food truck dreams, or just following someone else’s beautiful chaos while sipping your own coffee —
you’re in the right place.

☕ What you’ll find here:

• Behind-the-scenes food trailer prep
• Style tips that actually work after 40 (no returns required)
• Real-life wins & flops — and everything in between
• Money, hormones, family life… all the fun parts of midlife 😉

Thanks for being here. I’m figuring it out — and maybe you are too.
Let’s do it together.

Still figuring it out (with coffee and questionable confidence),
