This is my first style post of the new year and as usual I’m sharing the best of Your True Self Blog! If you’re new here, every week I publish a style post late on Tuesday nights to appear on Wednesday mornings and a weekend blog roundup of the Beauty & Style Spotlight Team on Saturday mornings. At the beginning of each year, I present the top ten most popular blog posts of the previous year. As I looked back at 2025, I discovered there are top ten most viewed posts AND a popular style guide as well! In my Shop, I have two style guides so far and one of them attracted a lot of attention. I hope that you will enjoy reading these ten postings and also consider purchasing the featured style guide.
In everything I present, I always like to remind you that age doesn’t matter. When you wear what you love, you’ll enjoy each day of your life more fully!
Below, I’m starting the countdown from number ten to one and then following that up by announcing the featured style guide. Connect to each one by clicking on its headline.
Thanks so much for visiting Your True Self and have a happy 2026!

Welcome to the weekly blog roundup of the Beauty & Style Spotlight Team! This week, we’re featuring our favorite posts on beauty, style and bargain sales. I’m exploring the bad reputation of leopard prints and how to tame that image. Nancy shares her Good Buy/Good-Bye Book on the theme of leggings (favorites and failures.) Allison shows her amazing buy from a surprising new designer. Barbie reviews a new red light therapy for hair loss and thinning. Terri talks about how it helps when you dress in colors that truly suit you. And Lola alerts us to an in-depth list of After-Christmas and Year-End Clearance sales. We’re sure you’ll love delving into all of these helpful topics. So put aside a bit of “you time” and enjoy!
