Turning 50: The Most Powerful Chapter Yet

There’s something sacred about turning 50.

Not the kind of sacred that whispers quietly — the kind that stands tall, shoulders back, and says, “Look how far you’ve come.”

Because this milestone? It didn’t arrive wrapped in ease. It came through grit, reinvention, heartbreak, healing, and more courage than I ever imagined I had.

And honestly… I wouldn’t trade this season for anything.


From the Dining Room Table to the Boardroom

If you had told the younger version of me — the one building a neuromonitoring company from her dining room table — that she would one day look back on a thriving career, multiple ventures, and a whole new professional chapter launched in midlife… I might have smiled politely and kept working.

Because the truth is, my journey has never been linear.

I’ve built businesses.
I’ve rebuilt them.
I’ve sold companies debt-free.
And when life said, “Start again,” I did — from the ground up.

Starting a new career in midlife isn’t for the faint of heart. It requires humility, hunger, and a willingness to be the beginner again. But at 50, I can tell you something with certainty:

Reinvention is not a setback. It’s a superpower.


The Health Battles I Never Saw Coming

There are chapters of my story I never planned to write.

An unexpected heart surgery that stopped me in my tracks.
An epilepsy diagnosis that forced me to slow down in ways I never had before.
Moments that reminded me — very clearly — that strength isn’t just about pushing forward.

Sometimes strength is:

  • Listening to your body
  • Allowing yourself to heal
  • Choosing grace over grind

Those seasons humbled me. But they also sharpened my perspective in ways success alone never could.

When your health is tested, your priorities get crystal clear.


Love, Loss, and the Circle of Life

Fifty years brings a beautiful — and sometimes painful — truth:

You don’t arrive here without losing people you love.

I’ve said goodbye to friends and loved ones whose absence still echoes in quiet moments. Grief has a way of softening you, deepening you, and reminding you not to take a single day for granted.

But alongside the loss… there has been so much joy.

I became a mother — the role that changed me forever.

Then life gave me one of its sweetest surprises:

Grandmother to two beautiful grandsons.

Watching my grandsons’ joy, their laughter, their dancing — those are the moments that make time stand still in the best possible way.

And seeing both of my children get married? That’s the kind of full-circle blessing that fills your heart in a way words can’t quite capture.


New Friends, New Chapters, New Energy

One thing no one tells you about midlife:

Your circle evolves.

Some friendships fade.
Some people are only meant for a season.
And then — beautifully — new people arrive who meet you exactly where you are.

At 50, I value depth over quantity.
Alignment over history.
Peace over proximity.

And the women (and men) in my life now? They are gold.


Collecting Memories Across the Map

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:

Experiences > everything.

From the breathtaking stillness of Alaska…
To the sun-soaked beauty of the Dominican Republic…
To the turquoise waters of the Cayman Islands…

Travel has reminded me again and again how big, beautiful, and expansive this life really is.

And I’m not done exploring. Not even close.


What Turning 50 Really Means to Me

Turning 50 isn’t about slowing down.

It’s about:

✨ Walking in wisdom you earned
✨ Protecting your peace unapologetically
✨ Building businesses with intention
✨ Loving your family fiercely
✨ Taking the trip
✨ Wearing the outfit
✨ Starting the thing — even now

If anything, I feel more clear, more focused, and more purpose-driven than ever before.

Because here’s the truth I’ve lived:

You are never too old to build something new.
You are never too established to pivot.
And you are absolutely never too late to become the woman you were always meant to be.

Fifty isn’t the finish line.

For me?

It’s the launchpad.

And I’m just getting started. 💫

Much Love to you all! XOXO – She She

The Truth About Weight Loss:Why GLP-1s Are Changing Lives – and Where You Can Actually Afford Them

Let’s be real for a moment — weight loss isn’t just about numbers on a scale. It’s about freedom. It’s about health. It’s about finally looking in the mirror and seeing a version of yourself that reflects how you feel inside.

For so many of us, weight gain has never been just a physical challenge. It’s deeply emotional. It’s mental. It’s heavy. The judgment from others, the self-shame, the endless cycle of dieting, losing, regaining — it all adds up. Obesity isn’t a failure of willpower. It’s a medical condition that deserves real solutions — not band-aids, and not shame.

That’s why I want to talk about GLP-1 medications, like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. If you haven’t heard of them, these are revolutionary treatments originally developed for diabetes that are now making massive waves in the world of weight loss. And for good reason.

Why GLP-1s Matter

GLP-1 receptor agonists work with your body’s natural signals — helping you feel full sooner, reduce appetite, and regulate blood sugar levels. But beyond the biology, here’s the part that matters most: They’re giving people their lives back.

Patients on GLP-1s have seen dramatic weight loss results. More importantly, they’ve reported improvements in energy, mood, sleep, and confidence. It’s not just about fitting into clothes — it’s about fitting back into your life.

The Ugly Truth: Big Pharma is Pricing People Out

But of course, nothing this life-changing comes easy — or cheap. The truth is, most brand-name GLP-1 medications are outrageously priced, often costing over $1,000 a month without insurance coverage. That’s not just unfair — it’s devastating.

We are talking about medications that could reduce the risk of heart disease, lower the chance of diabetes, and quite literally save lives. Yet many are forced to go without because the price tag makes it impossible.

There’s Hope: Local Compounding Pharmacies

Thankfully, there’s another way. Compounding pharmacies across the country are stepping up to offer safe, affordable GLP-1 formulations without the gatekeeping of big pharma. And if you’re in Texas — especially near Corpus Christi — I know exactly where you should go.

Meet Stacey Sanchez: Compassion Meets Expertise

Stacey Sanchez at Epic Wellness in Corpus Christi, TX, is a name you need to know. She’s one of the leading providers in weight loss care and compounded GLP-1 solutions. What sets her apart isn’t just her clinical knowledge — it’s her compassion.

Stacey takes the time to listen, understand your story, and create a path forward that works for you. Her patients feel seen. They feel supported. And best of all? They finally feel hopeful again.

If you’ve been struggling — if you’re tired, overwhelmed, or starting to lose faith — please know you are not alone. Help is out there. Real help. Affordable help. Compassionate help.

My Advice?

Make the call. Book the consultation. Take the first step.

Reach out to Stacey Sanchez at Epic Wellness in Corpus Christi, TX. Let this be the year you stop battling your body and start loving it again.

As always, much Love to you all, xoxo -SheShe

VISION FUELS SUCCESS

We are entering the home stretch of the first quarter of 2021. Some of you are thinking, seriously? Where did the time go? While there are others of you that are thinking, oh no! I am not near where I wanted, needed, or thought I would be by now this year. Not to worry, because today’s blog will be helpful in either thought process you may be struggling with!

I am sure like most, you set out with a plan for this year and it probably seemed doable, achievable, or at least like a good thought. Or, maybe you didn’t have a plan at all. Maybe, you are more the “let’s wing it” type and you just wanted to play your cards this year. Either way, the little tips today will give you the jumpstart you may have missed or have been waiting on to get started.

Without further delay, let’s get to it! What is it that we all want in life? The one true sustainable attribute that ultimately determines our happiness. You guessed it right, if you said, SUCCESS! When we are successful in life, we tend to be happier! That success can be in work, personal, emotional, mental and even physical success.

Now, I know what you are thinking. Easier said then done, right? I’m glad you asked. Today, I’m going to walk you through some strategies that have brought me success. The first step in preparing to be successful is having vision. VISION FUELS SUCCESS! I want you to let that sink in. If you do not take away anything from today’s blog, remember that sentence. The possibilities are truly limitless. If you can see it, you can achieve it.

At the beginning of each year, I , like most of you, start thinking about what I want out of the upcoming year. I have started adding a different perspective to that thought process. I know add the the question, what do I not want out of this year? And with that thought in mind how do I reverse engineer that into success? Let me give you some examples:

1.) I do not want negativity and I do not want bad health. I can equate those to multiple areas of my life and plan to make changes. I can work out a couple times a week and eat healthier options in meal planning. These changes will lead to happiness, which leads me to being successful.

2.) I do not want to ever forget that each day is a gift and should not be taken for granted. I’m only getting older, we all are. I will spend more time with my family making memories, traveling, vacations and holidays. This brings me happiness, which leads to success.

3.) Mediocrity will not be my legacy. I will take more school courses/career classes, read up on current literature, and browse forums. I will always be in a state of learning, which leads to success.

Once I have collected my thoughts, the next step in my process is creating a Vision Board. This activity is useful for several reasons. The main reason being, is that it creates a visual daily reminder for you to help you remember what your vision is. Another important reason is that putting the vision board together motivates you to want to actually fulfill the items on the board through the visual aid. I use Pinterest to create my Vision Board because it has a great search feature and literally thousands of results for you to choose from. When creating your vision board, keep in mind that you want to incorporate all aspects of your life, work, personal, family, etc. Don’t be afraid to be creative and have fun! I have included a link to my vision board below and also a screenshot as a reference tool.

Style Blog|fortheloveshe.com (fortheloveofshe.com)

I hope these tips have been helpful with your journey this year. My last bit of advice is to live each day to the fullest. Time is a gift that we can’t get back and there never seems to be enough of. Use it wisely! Take the time to do things that bring you happiness and you will find your success! Please do share your visions for this year with me in the comments, as I love hearing from you! As always, much love to you all, XOXO – SheShe!

Madison Reed to the Rescue

I recently was given the opportunity to give a new salon near me a try and I’ll be honest my first thought was, I already have a salon so why would I do that? However, my interest was peeked so I decided to look it up and once I did I realized it was not your average salon. In today’s blog, I will be giving you a look at Madison Reed Color Bar Salon and what they are about.

MR4

Madison Reed Color Bar offers multiple color services that are perfect for the woman on the go, that does not have time to sit in a salon for six hours of hair treatment when you need that color boost! They have a specially trained color mixologist on site that will color match your hair to ensure you get the perfect color for all your hair color needs and wants.

MR2

Whether you are looking to go back to your natural color, cover grey or add a boost to your highlights, they can handle it all.  I chose to do the gloss and blow out services and have shared before and after pictures for you here.

MR5 MR6

 

This is the perfect solution for me, being an Instagram influencer, I have photo shoots   that pop up and I do not always have time to schedule a six hour highlight appointment. The gloss treatment literally takes thirty minutes and I am in and out looking refreshed and not stressed in time for my shoot! In addition, they offer products for at home use. If you do not have time to go sit in the salon, you can stop in and pick up the products and DIY at home! How awesome is that option for those mom’s that have little to no time for themselves as it is?! I have linked the website and services here for you:

https://www.madison-reed.com

SERVICES

ROOTS ONLY

Permanent, long‑lasting color for roots (single process, no bleach, no highlights)

ROOTS + GLOSS

Permanent color for roots + Refresh color + boost shine

Stand Out. For Good. An ALTAR’D STATE of Mind

My daughter and I have been going on shopping adventures together since she was knee high to a grass hopper and we have always had the same sense of style. Recently she introduced me to a new store on one of our shopping trips, ALTAR’D STATE. She kept raving about how much she loved this place, how nice the staff was, the quality of the clothing and most importantly what really caught my attention was when she stated how great she felt when she went there. As a mom, I pried into this statement and she of course was happy to go into details. My daughter began to explain about the amazing culture of the store and how a portion of the net proceeds actually go back to various organizations, being for the homeless, cancer and missions. And this is not just on a random basis, this is year around. She actually said being in the store brought a sense of peace to her. With all of these amazing things I was hearing, I had to check this place out! So I did and the moral of this antidote is every she said is absolutely true and I am obsessed with everything about ALTAR’D STATE!

Being a fashion forward individual, I immediately knew that I wanted to be a part of this amazing culture and share it with all of you as soon as possible. On today’s blog, I will be sharing the ALATAR’S STATE of Mind and what it’s all about. It’s rare to find a store that actually has a mission, and this one does! The mission, which can be found displayed proudly in each location and on their website states, “Our mission is to serve as an inspiration, empower others and give more than we receive. We do this by lifting those who need a helping hand, volunteering our time to enrich lives, and extending the power of prayer.”  That is powerful , inspiring and empowering!

“TRUE BEAUTY: Together  we will change the world for the better. We will positively impact those who need it most. We will warm souls and create happiness.”

ALTAR’D STATE sells a variety of items in store and online from clothing, to baby items, jewelry and home goods. You are greeted by an associated at the door every time you visit the store and not to be pushy , but just to say hello , a compliment or how are you! Again, another feel good aspect of this awesome store. The store has the items mixed in together strategically through-ought the store in a way where you get to see everything while shopping the clothing items as well.

The dressing rooms are located in the back of the store and they are something to behold! You are again greeted by an associate, who uniquely labels you dressing room with your name (nice touch)!The dressing room area is beautifully lit and well appointed with big mirrors and plenty of walking space to strut your looks back there in your try ons! This is definitely one of my favorite places in the store!

The store also offers a sale room in the back of the store. That’s right! An entire room filled with items on sale! Clothing, shoes, jewelry, home goods, it’s all in there! You want to make sure you hit this space up for sure for some great deals!

Once you have made your selections and are ready to check out, you can find the registers located in the back of the store. There are always plenty of sales associates at the counter, so you will never be waiting long! The sales associates fold each clothing item and wrap it in tissue paper when bagging up your purchases, which again is such a nice touch. The final touch is they bring your bags around to you and hand them off to you , thanking you and wishing you well. This may not sound like much, but as an avid shopper, this is an extremely gracious touch and makes for a great shopping experience.

There are literally thousands of items and if you are anything like me, you probably want them all! However, we are realist and know that we do have decide on what we really have our heart set on!

As an avid shopper of this sale, I put a ton of thought and preparation into my list each year. I also use this sale for a myriad of useful , yet rewarding purposes! My number one reason for shopping the sale is to get some early Christmas shopping done and out of the way. The value and variety of items that you can find during the sale, you are sure to be able to get something for everyone on your list and even some stocking stuffers! My second primary goal in shopping this sale is to get a head start on fall and winter styles! You can never start to early and the sale prices on these items can not be beat! My third and final purpose of shopping the sale, is to stock up on closet staples because when I say they have a multitude, I am not understating it! And my ultimate reason for shopping the Nordy Anniversary sale is of course because I LOVE a good sale!!!

So, let’s get right to the reason you all are here on the blog, today! On to my top picks from the sale in my shopping categories.  I started in the shoe department because, well, do we really need a reason?!! Haha, we all love shoes!

My first pick is the  UGG Melrose genuine Shearling Bootie. I have been eyeing these little cuties since last season and every time I went to purchase them they were out of stock! These are truly the best bang for your buck in the UGG line because they are such a versatile shoe. While they are still warm and cozy, they are a casual style that can be worn as a daily! They are linked here for you and are part of the early access sale!

Moving along to the Bootie category, which is such a great style shoe. There are so many varieties of these to choose from that it makes it so hard to choose! I have to say that this first pair I am sharing is my absolute favorite from the sale this year! They are the BP Trice Peep Toe Bootie and they are the cutest and most stylish booties I have run across in awhile! They have a fitted top that is more of a sweater type or knit material. I tried them on and fell in love! These will be amazing for fall and even into winter! They come in two colors, black and blush! Just a gorgeous shoe!

Target Summer Try On Haul

 

The hubs had some things to do and I actually had some time to spare, . . .  and you know I went straight to my happy place, Target!  

Today I am sharing a huge try on haul of some fresh summer styles I found during my shopping adventure.

TGFLORALLONG2

This Womens Floral Print Short Sleeve Midi Dress is such a gorgeous print and honestly that is what caught my eye! It is a faux wrap dress and does have lining under the skirt portion. I am wearing an XS for reference and have linked this gem above for you.

 

Jumpsuits are all the rage currently and I have to admit that I have a bit of an obsession with them myself! I mean they are versatile, stylish and comfortable! How can you beat that?! I tried on several different styles and am sharing all of them here for you to decide which is your favorite (or if your anything like me, you will love them all!)

TG FLORAL JUMPSUIT1
https://www.target.com/p/women-s-floral-print-strapless-quilted-top-jumpsuit-xhilaration-153/-/A-54351199?preselect=54334438#lnk=sametab

This Women’s Floral Print Strapless Quilted Top Jumpsuit is the first one I am sharing. I am wearing an XS for reference. The colors in this really pop against the black and it fits like a charm! This would be great for some of your summer wedding/baby showers! I have linked it for you!

This Utility Jumpsuit screams versatility! You could easily dress this up with heels and a belt for a night out on the town or throw on some flip flops and sport it at the beach!

TG KACKI PANTSUIT

 

https://www.target.com/p/women-s-sleeveless-v-neck-cross-back-side-button-jumpsuit-universal-thread-153-cream/-/A-54464335?preselect=54423316#lnk=sametab

Can we just talk about the cute details on the jumpsuit for a minute?! It has a corset top, so it is fitted but still has adjustable straps. It has faux buttons down the side that just add that “EXTRA”, because you know we all love the details! I’m wearing an XS for reference and have linked it here for you!

TGIOLET2

Everyone loves a good maxi and a black dress is a staple so you are getting the absolute best of both worlds with this great dress here! I am wearing an XS for reference and have linked it for you!

 

Last, but certainly not least, is this adorable striped midi dress that truly surprised me in my try on. This dress has adjustable straps so you can adjust the top and length if needed, which is always a great option and I am drawn to the pattern on this dress.

Once upon a time there was a little girl that had big dreams. How many stories start out that way and then for whatever reason fade into the background of just living?  I am here to tell you that I am sure there are more than there are not.  My question to you in today’s blog, is why?

I believe the number one reason we do not chase our dreams is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of change and the biggest fear of all – the fear of failure.  Fear is an emotion and we often are driven or  in most cases, held back by our emotions in life. So, now that we have uncovered reason number one, let’s talk about how we over come it.  The greatest disservice you can ever do to yourself is to not even try. You will never know, unless you at least give it a shot. What is the worst that can happen? It doesn’t go as planned, or it doesn’t work out at all? Then, you still learned something, right? You gained knowledge of what didn’t work. Success is built on failure. Now, on the other hand, what if it does work out? How amazing would that be? Can you imagine the thrill of achieving your dreams? Overcoming your fears? That is success.

The second biggest reason we give up on our dreams is that we let other people define who we are and what we believe we should be doing. This to me is the saddest reason of all. Everyone has a purpose in this life and it is up to you and only you to serve that purpose. NEVER LET ANYONE DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. You know what your strengths are, what makes you happy, what you truly shine at.  Can you honestly say you are doing what you love? What you are passionate about in life? If you aren’t, then you probably are not where you are meant to be and more then likely you aren’t truly happy with what you are doing. The point, or moral behind this is that when you love what you do –  when you are passionate about it, you are successful.  That is your purpose, your passion, your dream. That is success.

The final reason I believe we give up on our dreams is because we think there is not enough time. We get so consumed in life going and coming, doing and being that we quite literally start believing we are out of time.  We tend to forget that it is never too late to start over, to start now, or to achieve our dreams.  The present is better then ever to decide to be and do what you were always meant for – to make your dreams come true.

In closing, I want to remind each and everyone of you that you possess qualities that no else has but you. Only you can decide to take the next steps and go for it! Believe you can and you will! That is my true definition of success! I would love to hear about you chasing your dreams! Please feel free to leave comments below! Much love to you all! xoxo – SheShe

Flower Vault Picture Wall Venues

Everyone dreams of having a personal photo shoot background playground at their fingertips and the wait is over! I ran across this amazing spot while scrolling through my Instagram feed and wanted to share it with you in today’s blog post. The venue is called The Flower Vault and it is a pop up venue that allows customers to come and share in the beauty of several different flower walls that are beautifully placed throughout the venue. The Flower Vault is currently located in Houston and San Antonio locations. They offer appointments, as well as walk ins. You are allowed an allotted time (an hour for walk ins) for the price of entry and you can take your own photos or bring a photographer. They also have a restroom available at the venue for wardrobe changes or those last minute make up touch ups! In addition to the actual flower walls located in the venue, there is some very cool lighting fixtures that make for some awesome pictures as well! I am sharing all of the flower walls at the Houston location in today’s post so you will have a great idea of all the choices you have and hopefully some inspiration to go and make a visit and make some awesome memories too!

The next flower wall in the venue is the “yellow room” that includes a massive sunflower on one wall and several tiny sunflowers on the adjacent wall that form hearts! Completely adorable!

Whomever said blue is not your color has definitely not seen you in this flower room! This blue rose flower wall was one of my favorites in the venue! This room would be perfect for so many types of pictures, from engagement to baby announcements!

Probably the most fun room in the venue is this next room,  that is floor to ceiling filled with sunflowers! You can not help but smile in this room! I truly enjoyed every second in it (as you can see!)

The next room is a multi floral room with multi colored stones that are strategically placed throughout to be used in any way you wish to take cool photos! (just don’t step off the stones or you will crush the flowers!) This room is amazing, as it is truly covered in flowers!

There is a very cute seating area full of plush pillows, against a pale pink wall, that is included in the venue as well for those that wish to use it. This would make a great setting for group pictures or pictures with your little ones or even your fur babies! I went during the Easter holiday, so I incorporated it in my photos.
