Last weekend, I went to Las Vegas with my sister to soak up the sun poolside. Usually, by November the weather cools down in Las Vegas and they start calling it their winter season. However, it was already starting to cool the last week of October. Instead of temperatures in the 80’s Fahrenheit, they dipped into the 60’s. Doesn’t it seem to happen that the weather turns unfavorable right when you travel someplace?! It was 80 again the day after we got back. In the end, we even enjoyed the pool on 68 degree days because there was sun and no wind on deck.
It ended up that I only needed to wear the warmer clothes I packed. I brought mostly sandals and lightweight clothing and didn’t end up wearing them. After returning home, I surveyed what I actually wore out of my overpacked bags. It boils down to a capsule wardrobe that works for four days in between seasons in Las Vegas. And age doesn’t matter when you use my packing list.
So what do you really need to pack for a trip to Las Vegas?

What do you absolutely need for the perfect fall and winter wardrobe? Herein is a checklist for what you need to create outfits for every occasion during the cool seasons. Age doesn’t matter because all of these items are classic and basic pieces. They will go with everything else you own to make a complete seasonal wardrobe that works.
(For a Spring and Summer checklist, see my post on how to make more outfits out of what you have HERE.)
Maybe you already have all or most of these essentials. If not, use this list to fill in gaps in your cool-weather wardrobe or upgrade things that are wearing out (or wearing out their welcome).
I’m not one for paring my clothes down into a capsule wardrobe because I love to have options for creating something a little different every day. But I do believe in having all the basics you’ll need to provide the main structure for a wide array of outfit possibilities.
If you have all the necessities, you won’t ever have to feel like you don’t have anything to wear!

Welcome to Your True Self Blog where age doesn’t matter…except when it comes to the Coronavirus. Since this pandemic hit the world and eventually the place where I live, fear and anxiety have become a real tangible issue: first when people panicked and cleared the shelves of everything we needed at the stores, and then when each one of us in my family began to realize the possibilities of what it will do to us. So what are the best ways to calm our fear and anxiety?
I was going to research all the best ways and post them all here. But then, I decided to just share my story and the ways that my family is coping with the fear. As I did, I came up with 17 of the best ways to calm our fear and anxiety. There are many more. I welcome you to leave your ideas in a reply below this post! Continue Reading

Hi! My sister and I just got back from the Ageless Beauty: Yoga & Wellness cruise to Cozumel. Hosted by Cindy Bartz, the yoga cruise had dozens of natural healing classes and events as well as private sessions to choose from. When you meet the instructors, you can see that when you practice wellness techniques age doesn’t matter because they are all glowing with vitality. So what happens at a yoga retreat on the sea? Let me tell you a little about it and share with you what I learned.
The weather wasn’t the greatest because of a storm that passed through, making the waters choppy. That made my first snorkeling adventure a little difficult, but I saw a baby shark and other fascinating sea life and had a fun trip overall.
I am sharing some of the information that I got from yoga classes on the cruise. Take a look and learn about whatever interests you. I hope it is helpful. And if you end up much healthier, come back and let me know!
Yoga Classes that were offered on the cruise:
