Skincare is Selfcare
Since I’ve been staying home more than ever now, naturally I haven’t been putting on much makeup. Although, if I am attending a Zoom meeting or running to the store, I just apply some tinted moisturizer, cream blush and mascara. I know I’m not alone here in making this shift because in recent weeks, for the first time ever, skincare sales have surpassed makeup sales. During the “Safer at Home” order, I have refocused on trying new skincare products and truly taking the time to assess, cleanse, nourish and restore my skin and decolletage. As a self-proclaimed “product junkie”, I have tried everything from department store and drugstore products to ones found exclusively at aestheticians. Below are the cleansers and [...]
Giving a Little TLC from GTD
As the Safer at Home Order continues, the stress of staying home and not leading a normal life has been a bit taxing. It seems like it has been forever since I shared a hug (and a cocktail) with friends and clients! Spring is in full swing here in Los Angeles and during this time of renewal and rebirth it's hard to look at the same four walls around our homes! However, the safety of the community and my loved ones is most important and I am grateful every day for my health and the ability to live in such a beautiful area. Getting into the mindset of spring, we could all use a little retail therapy. However with the [...]
Castaways for Cash
With our current global situation dealing with the COVID-19 virus and the call for social distancing, our collective communities are hunkering down at home. I feel like uncertain and isolating times such as these, the need to have a sense of control over our lives and most especially our home environment is important. At GTD, we are here to provide our clients with a sense of calm and peace of mind. For years now, a few of my clients have enjoyed working together virtually but many of you did not know I provide this service. I want to make myself available to serve you in the best ways I know how, so I’m reaching out to tell you about how I can help [...]
How To Look Stylish And Still Be Comfortable
Enjoy being in your comfort zone? The comfort zone I’m referring to is a “clothing comfort zone”. It’s something we’re all guilty of... never bothering to change after your workout or saying “I’m only running to the market” and before you know it, 5 pm rolls around and you’re still in your Lululemons. Clients tell me all the time they want to get back to wearing all the amazing clothes in their closet. It can be hard to get out of your comfort zone and start “shopping your closet” again. If you fall back on your comfy stretchy pants too long, you don’t get to wear the nice clothes you paid for, they end up becoming outdated or unfashionable and [...]
Fierce And Fit Over Fifty
As I get older, I see more fine lines appearing and have to do my hair color more often, but all things considered, I’m easing into my new comfort zone taking it all in stride. I am very thankful to have picked up good habits that have kept me looking and feeling young! We all know the benefits of working out regularly, following a balanced diet, staying hydrated and let’s not forget about getting a good night’s sleep! As we age, adhering to a healthy lifestyle is just the first step of being fit and fierce over 50! Okay, those of you aren’t quite there yet may be thinking “I’m young, 50 is a long way away”, but take my [...]

Feeling uninspired when looking into your closet? Perhaps you have given up hope of ever getting it organized! Let 2020 be the year you reclaim your space and finally tackle the closets in your home.
