Wrinkles and Dark Circles - Oh My! Have you ever woken up, looked at yourself in the mirror and though, Who IS this person with wrinkles and dark circles under their eyes staring back at me? Nothing is more scary than that! But no worries, I have a few tricks and a few treats to help you out this Halloween from one of my fav brands - DRMTLGY. Fine lines & Wrinkles: The Solution: Enter DRMTLGY Needle-less Serum—my secret weapon. This little bottle is the equivalent of waving a magic wand over your skin. Use it before bed, and you’ll wake up looking fresher than the trick-or-treat candy you snuck into last night. It’s available on Amazon, so add it to your cart right now and let your skin say "boo" to wrinkles! Dark Circles: I am obsessed with the DRMTLGY Brightening Caffeine Eye Masks for Dark Circles. Put them in the fridge and apply them in the morning while you’re having coffee. Bye, Bye, dark circles! Boo-tox: Of course, another option to fight the wicked wrinkled witch looking back at you in the mirror is Botox. If you are curious about this option, be sure to check out my post from my friends at the Rejuvenation Center! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/fc7bddd9-e263-4a27-946f-442a6a06318d/DALL%C2%B7E+2024-10-22+14.50.21+-+A+whimsical+Halloween-themed+image+of+a+playful+witch+with+long+grey+hair+flying+on+a+broomstick.+The+witch+is+wearing+a+stylish%2C+modern+outfit+with+a.jpg Blog - Five Things That “Scare” Women Over 40 This Halloween - 2. Grey Hair: That Witch That Keeps Coming Back If grey hairs were zombies, my head would be an episode of The Walking Dead. They seem to multiply overnight, right? While some women can rock that silver fox look (go you!), others might be spooked by every new strand. The Solution: Grab the L'Oreal Paris Root Cover Up Temporary Gray Concealer Spray from Amazon for a quick and easy fix or schedule a visit with your colorist STAT. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/411871ee-6abc-4de4-a74b-5206b3856b9e/DALL%C2%B7E+2024-10-24+06.38.35+-+A+whimsical+Halloween-themed+image+featuring+a+spooky%2C+haunted+scale+labeled+%27The+True+House+of+Horrors.%27+The+scale+is+placed+in+a+cheeky+setting+with.jpg Blog - Five Things That “Scare” Women Over 40 This Halloween - 3. The Scale (A.K.A. the True House of Horrors) There’s nothing scarier than stepping on the scale after a week of “just one more piece of chocolate” moments. And don’t even get me started on that “ghost weight” that sneaks up right before bed. The Solution: You know I’m a big fan of Weight Watchers. It’s the best way to enjoy your treats without them haunting you on the scale. But let’s face it…Halloween just is no fun without a glass of wine…and some chocolate! The best way to incorporate these sweet treats without the guilt is to plan for these points in your daily allowance and rack up some extra activity points to balance it out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/22a1c2dc-edc1-448f-a123-191ab2da746b/DALL%C2%B7E+2024-10-24+06.41.06+-+A+whimsical+Halloween-themed+image+focused+on+the+dreaded+question+%27What%27s+for+dinner_%27+featuring+a+spooky+kitchen+scene+with+a+cauldron+bubbling+over.jpg Blog - Five Things That “Scare” Women Over 40 This Halloween - 4. The Dreaded Question: ‘What’s for Dinner?’ Cue the horror music, because nothing is more terrifying than realizing it's 6 PM and you have no idea what to make for dinner. Seriously, is there a scarier question in existence? The Solution: If you’re like me and constantly dodging this daily terror, let me introduce you to meal prepping—the true superhero of the kitchen. Grab these handy Bento Meal Prep Boxes from Amazon and fill them with healthy, Weight Watchers-approved meals. (For Weight Watcher Friendly Meal Prep ideas, check out my blog post on Meal Prepping 101!) Another way to slay the “What’s for Dinner” dragon is by using the slow cooker! There is nothing better than coming home after a long day to the aroma of a warm meal simmering in the crock pot- especially this time of the year! Check out my recent blog post for some spooky good “Crock-Tober” weight watcher friendly meals that would be a healthy and easy option to have ready for Halloween night after Trick-or-Treat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/fd11c86d-ed51-4a46-bbbd-25ff6a7c717f/DALL%C2%B7E+2024-10-24+09.38.41+-+A+whimsical+Halloween-themed+image+focused+on+the+challenge+of+trying+on+jeans%2C+playfully+titled+%27The+Nightmare+Before+Christmas.%27+It+features+a+spook.jpg Blog - Five Things That “Scare” Women Over 40 This Halloween - 5. Trying On Jeans (A.K.A. The Real Nightmare Before Christmas) There’s nothing that strikes fear in the heart of a woman over 40 more than trying on jeans. Will they zip? Will they button? Will I need a séance to get into them? The Solution: Thank goodness Express and Spanx have our backs (and our waists). Try my fav, Spanx Everywhere Flare Jeans for a flattering fit. Speaking of Spanx, if you’re feeling extra daring, throw on some Spanx Faux Leather Leggings—they’re a dream for slimming down those fall outfits - and no zipper required!

The Travel Backpack I’ll Never Fly Without Again I debated for weeks about what bag to use as my personal item — and I’m so glad I chose this travel backpack. It was perfect for Greece. Here’s why I loved it: ✔️ Tons of space but still compact enough for airline guidelines ✔️ Laptop sleeve for travel days ✔️ Easy-access front zip pockets for passports, sunglasses, snacks ✔️ Lightweight + stylish enough to carry every day on our cruise and excursions It even slid neatly under my airplane seat — and held up beautifully through long ferry rides, busy ports, and full days of sightseeing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/fe548436-516c-41c2-9d33-2aa2e7360330/oribe.jpg Blog - What I packed for 10 Days in Greece - in a Carry-on! - TSA-Friendly Toiletries: The 3-1-1 Rule Without a doubt, figuring out which toiletries to take, and which ones to ditch, was the hardest part about packing for my trip. I learned pretty quickly that packing light (and in a carry-on) also means downsizing your beauty routine. TSA rules only allow 3 oz. bottles in ONE 1 quart-sized zip bag — and let me tell you, this was a challenge! The trick was prioritizing what mattered most: ✨ Oribe Travel Set – Shampoo, Conditioner, Moisture Cream ✨ ZO Skin Health Travel Set (my skincare essentials!) ✅ Everything under 3 oz. and fits into 1 bag Pro tip: Use mini refillable bottles for everyday products and buy travel sizes of your luxe favorites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/3a18dec2-ec4c-421e-b5ba-95c9997aef79/itcosmetics.jpg Blog - What I packed for 10 Days in Greece - in a Carry-on! - Foundation Counts as a Liquid (So Choose Wisely!) Speaking of downsizing your beauty routine for travel, here’s a TSA packing truth no one warns you about: Foundation is considered a liquid. Which means it must go in your 3-1-1 liquids bag — and with limited space, every product counts. I chose the IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream with SPF 50 as my go-to because it did double duty: ✔️ Foundation-level coverage ✔️ High SPF protection ✔️ Lightweight and radiant finish With the Mediterranean heat and sun, I pared my makeup routine down to: This multitasking CC Cream ️ Mascara Lipstick (or tinted balm) And honestly? It was a blessing. Heavy makeup doesn’t hold up to the Greek sun — this light, smart routine made me feel polished and protected without melting off halfway through the day.

Build your wardrobe around 3–4 main colors so everything mixes and matches easily. My palette was white, navy, tan, and (of course) black— it made packing (and getting dressed) a breeze and was easy for mixing and matching. It was also great because I found this stunning silk wrap blouse in the outdoor marketplace on the Island of Rhodes, and it easily matched my white palazzo pants and tube tope that I had packed! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/87c4913a-d3f6-4d2c-8207-b6506b98d061/Greece8.png Blog - What I packed for 10 Days in Greece - in a Carry-on! - Make it stand out Stacey and Liv on the Cape of Sounion where the Temple of Poseidon overlooks the Aegean Sea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/82599bad-a726-4a17-a6f2-f87774386f40/Greece4.png Blog - What I packed for 10 Days in Greece - in a Carry-on! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.staceycreely.com/blog/mothers-day-in-the-middle-letting-go-looking-ahead-and-finding-myself-again monthly 0.5 2025-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/6985c629-ae81-48d0-b2a9-997ce474209b/MeandLiv.jpg Blog - Mother’s Day in the Middle: Letting Go, Looking Ahead, and Finding Myself Again - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.staceycreely.com/blog/senior-year-is-going-too-fastand-its-not-ok monthly 0.5 2025-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/aa20fd71-2288-4f7c-afb4-e29679b778b1/Olivia_10_20_2024_0202_edit+%283%29+%281%29.jpg Blog - Senior Year is Going too Fast…and It’s Not Ok. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/e230e6e4-7248-4932-b96b-9ab21615523b/IMG_4074.jpg Blog - Senior Year is Going too Fast…and It’s Not Ok. People have told me before that senior year will fly by, but I don’t think you really “get it” until you are in the trenches. And between helping her with scholarship applications, planning her graduation party and shopping for prom dresses, MAN am I in the trenches. Wasn’t it just yesterday that we were tucking them in with a bedtime story, holding them when they were up crying all night and changing what seemed like a million diapers? I swear I don’t think I slept until she was 4. It was for sure just last week that she was toddling down the hallway with one pacifier in her mouth and one in both hands. She was always prepared. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/f591786a-90a9-487c-9d43-ee3cdd03f117/IMG_1032.JPG Blog - Senior Year is Going too Fast…and It’s Not Ok. How did 18 years fly by so quickly? All I know is that I blinked and she has turned into a beautiful, independent, smart and kind young woman-one that 18 years ago I could have never even imagined as I held her in my arms. While I can’t wait to see what the next chapter of her life will hold, I’m also just not ready to let go. I just need a little more time….

How to Practice Self Acceptance and Self Love. Last weekend, I had the pleasure of watching my daughter, Olivia, be presented as a member of the 2025 Viennese Winter Ball Cotillion, a fundraiser for the Wheeling Symphony, at the Patron Party. It was a magical night. And even more like a fairytale, this weekend she will dance in the ball. This is a moment that I have waited to see almost the entire 17 years of her life. My goal was to be back down 10 pounds, to my lowest body weight, in time to wear my beautiful gown to the ball this weekend. Well, guess what? Despite consistent exercise, healthy eating habits (for the most part - I do love my wine) and my daily 70 ounces of water intake, that didn’t happen. One year ago, I was down 10 pounds and measuring every bite of food and every ounce of wine that I ate or drank. Over the course of about 6 months, I had lost a total of 22 pounds on Weight Watchers and was at the lowest body weight that I had been since I was married 23 years ago. I looked amazing. But inside, I was miserable. https://www.staceycreely.com/blog/2025-reset-grace-plot-twists-and-progress-one-step-at-a-time monthly 0.5 2025-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/1736278521378-A3N3UMBIZ8XMDUVO8PIR/unsplash-image-RmByg5kFfQg.jpg Blog - 2025 Reset: Grace, Plot Twists, and Progress One Step at a Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/1736278568547-MSMH10S94J1ZT8LFKB8W/unsplash-image-DE3AJ6-5fa0.jpg Blog - 2025 Reset: Grace, Plot Twists, and Progress One Step at a Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.staceycreely.com/blog/reflecting-on-2024-a-year-of-growth-gratitude-and-glamour monthly 0.5 2025-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/5806f160-b7c6-4dad-a8c0-4c0bc25e7f1f/sunrise2024.jpg Blog - Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Growth, Gratitude and Glamour - Make it stand out The final sunrise of 2024, taken on my deck, unfiltered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/a0975927-0014-4544-97fd-5429321a8b22/Stacey_05_18_2024_0047_edit.jpg Blog - Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Growth, Gratitude and Glamour 2024 Accomplishments and Milestones 2024 was a banner year for my blog, Find Yourself After 40! What started out as an idea more than several years ago, Find Yourself After 40 is now a blog, a website and a Facebook Community dedicated to empowering women over 40 with more than 500 followers! From working with the premier Med Spa in the Valley, The Rejuvenation Center, to bringing you my favorite fashion finds on my new TaptoShop store, to partnering with the inspiring health and wellness coach, Jessica Johnston, founder of the podcast, Together We Battle, this year has allowed me to share my love of beauty, fashion and health and wellness for women over 40 with all of you!

Well, I have been very transparent with my weight loss journey and despite continuing to work out consistently and meal plan, 2024 definitely had its ups and downs on the scale. Probably more ups than downs to be completely honest. I have been reflecting on my relationship with food, alcohol and body image and I definitely think this is an area of my life that I personally need to work on more in 2025. Not so much in terms of losing weight or exercising more - but in terms of my own mindset. Luckily, I have health and wellness coach Jessica Jonhston, to help me - and you - work on forming sustainable daily healthy habits that will help us achieve our health and wellness goals so we can look good AND feel good in 2025! More about that coming soon… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/0ba62853-6f75-478f-8388-026633a2fba6/lighthouse.jpg Blog - Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Growth, Gratitude and Glamour 2024: Travel Highlights Speaking of ups and downs, 2024 was filled with travel up and down the east coast! From taking in the breathtaking views of the tumultuous coastline in York, Maine and hiking into the stunning White Mountains of New Hampshire, to attending a lovely wedding at the swanky Harvard Club in beautiful downtown Boston, to dining with friends in the fabulous restaurants of 5th Avenue South in Naples Florida, to waking up to the beautiful sunrises of Kure Beach, North Carolina, 2024 has been filled with amazing adventures, friends and family up and down the East Coast. I am excited for more travel in 2025 - including a trip to Greece, Turkey and the Greek Isles with our daughter after she graduates high school in June! Travel continues to remind me of the beauty of connection—both with others and with myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/f14a38d2-5c46-432b-a5f8-ff0249896ae5/IMG_0424.jpg Blog - Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Growth, Gratitude and Glamour - Relationships and Connections This year deepened my relationships in ways I didn’t expect. I celebrated 23 years of marriage with my husband, who, despite our daily bickering and constant arguments over matching socks, continues to be my rock and cheerleader. As our daughter navigates her senior year of high school and the college search process, 2024 has ushered in a new era of parenting that I am reluctantly learning to navigate- the art of letting go. This new chapter of transitioning to becoming an empty nester will undoubtedly be a theme you will hear more about in 2025. My friendships—new and old—flourished this year as we shared life’s ups and downs, including the loss of one of our own BCB friends, who is dearly missed. And, of course, connecting with you, my readers, remains a highlight. Your comments, messages, and support fuel my passion for creating content that resonates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/b053ef5b-7b5d-44e7-a0c3-2a320cce4007/jessica.jpg Blog - Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Growth, Gratitude and Glamour And finally, to my cousin, Jessica Johnston - cancer survivor, health and wellness coach, founder of the Together We Battle podcast, entrepreneur and just generally a BAD ASS woman - thank you for your support, partnership and collaboration.

Let’s face it, ladies—holiday stress hits different after 40. If your holiday “to do” list looks anything like mine, you’re already thinking about the stress of shopping for the perfect gifts, decorating the house like Martha Stewart, and planning instagram-worthy gatherings - all while trying to balance work, family and extracurricular commitments. Oh, did I mention that you were supposed to create ALL of this holiday magic while looking amazing, wearing the perfect outfit and squeezing in workouts and healthy dinners? HO. HO. Freaking Ho. Unfortunately, although this is the time of the year that should be filled with joy, many women over 40, including myself, find themselves stressed, overwhelmed and down right exhausted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/1731959136693-PWPGL5VLVG7IX6P5GB0N/unsplash-image-strBpdSyL9s.jpg Blog - Lexapro, Wine, & Feeling Just Fine: How to Enjoy This Holiday Season Without Losing Your Sh*t. - 1. Step Away from the Picture-Perfect Holiday I’m all about creating a beautiful and memorable holiday for my family, but sometimes you just have to let go of unrealistic expectations. That Pinterest board with perfectly frosted sugar cookies and a tree that looks straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog? Delete it. Real life isn’t a Hallmark movie, and that’s okay. Instead, embrace the mess, the laughter, and the imperfection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/f5a9e824-3a90-4a5f-80f6-bfdb9523cb54/strombolis.jpg Blog - Lexapro, Wine, & Feeling Just Fine: How to Enjoy This Holiday Season Without Losing Your Sh*t. - Stacey’s Tips on Keeping it Real this Holiday Season: Instead of worrying about baking the perfect sugar cookies or decorating an award-winning gingerbread house, try doing something that is meaningful for your family’s heritage, no matter how imperfect or un-instagram worthy it is. " Every year, we have a tradition of making holiday strombolis in my family. Three generations of Italian American women - myself, my mother and my daughter- spend time in the kitchen together rolling out dough, making a complete mess, laughing, and arguing over who remembers the correct recipe! Of course, there’s wine and lots of taste-testing! It’s definitely not instagram worthy, but it sure is a ton of fun, and we are making amazing family memories along the way!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/1732043625894-9U5Q10XJDCEUM7242K1T/unsplash-image-Pe9IXUuC6QU.jpg Blog - Lexapro, Wine, & Feeling Just Fine: How to Enjoy This Holiday Season Without Losing Your Sh*t. 2. Take Time for Yourself (and Get That Holiday Glow Up) I know it seems impossible to find time for yourself - especially this busy time of the year, but let’s get one thing straight: self-care isn’t selfish, especially during the holidays. And while a hot bath or yoga session can work wonders, why not treat yourself to something extra this season? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/eaa463fb-e733-4a86-a71b-e226b39775dd/jessica.jpg Blog - Lexapro, Wine, & Feeling Just Fine: How to Enjoy This Holiday Season Without Losing Your Sh*t. - Stacey’s Sneak Peak: Self Care from the Inside Out with Wellness Coach, Jessica Johnston Because beauty starts from the inside out, I’m thrilled to announce an upcoming feature on Wellness Coach Jessica Johnston, founder of Together We Battle Podcast, who’ll be sharing her simple daily habits to reduce stress and bring more joy into your life. From mindful moments to small changes that pack a big punch, Jessica’s tips are the holiday survival guide we didn’t know we needed . Keep an eye out for these blogs in the weeks to come—you won’t want to miss them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/64e5a23e-fecc-4617-8149-d3516a85f9d7/Friendsgiving.jpg Blog - Lexapro, Wine, & Feeling Just Fine: How to Enjoy This Holiday Season Without Losing Your Sh*t. 3. Say No to Overcommitment Remember when we thought “yes” was the magic word? Hard pass. If the idea of attending yet another white elephant gift exchange makes you want to crawl under your weighted blanket, just say no. A simple, “Thanks for thinking of me, but I can’t make it this time” will suffice. In fact, I committed to NOT overcommitting in my recent blog post, NO-vember. Instead, I am focusing on attending those holiday gatherings that bring me the most joy with my friends and family, like our recent “Friendsgiving” with my bootcamp buddies pictured here! Not sure how to bow out gracefully? Send a thoughtful token instead - like that sweet bottle of wine you probably wouldn’t drink anyway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/1732209243324-60J7583OAT7ZDLNPOZ7D/unsplash-image-QVGVxz5SN5Y.jpg Blog - Lexapro, Wine, & Feeling Just Fine: How to Enjoy This Holiday Season Without Losing Your Sh*t. - 4. Make It About Connection, Not Perfection Forget the 17-step charcuterie board and focus on who’s around your table instead. Whether it’s ordering pizza or making a big pot of chili, the people matter more than the presentation. Keep entertaining stress-free by planning ahead, ordering catering or simply having a holiday pot luck with your friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/b42fad06-5945-4361-a0e6-d97cf25991ff/cranberymule.jpg Blog - Lexapro, Wine, & Feeling Just Fine: How to Enjoy This Holiday Season Without Losing Your Sh*t. - 5. Pour a Glass of Whatever Makes You Happy Whether it’s a good Cabernet, a festive mocktail, or, a venti-sized coffee, take a moment to toast to making it through another year. And while you’re at it, try one of my favorite lightened up holiday cocktails: “Lightened Up Cranberry Moscow Mule” Fill Moscow Mule cup with ice, 1.5 shots of vodka (I like Tito’s) A squeeze a lime juice Fill cup 3/4 up with zero sugar ginger beer Add a splash of 5 calorie Oceanspray Cranberry juice Garnish with a sprig of rosemary and fresh cranberries https://www.staceycreely.com/blog/holiday-outfit-ideas-for-women-over-40-festive-looks-from-amazon-nordstrom-and-express monthly 0.5 2024-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/823288a0-7a97-4478-ad17-414c7b29f596/whbm-one-button-blazer-in-satin.jpg Blog - Holiday Outfits for Women Over 40: Shop my fav Festive Looks! - 1. Classic Velvet and Satin Blazers When it comes to timeless elegance, velvet and satin are unbeatable. I’ve included a deep jewel-tone plum one-button satin blazer that just dropped in the holiday collection from WHBM in my TaptoShop store—a perfect mix of luxury and comfort. Pair it with a sleek satin blouse or a satin cami for a beautifully balanced look. Add slim black trousers or dark jeans for an upscale yet approachable outfit. Stacey’s Style Tip: A velvet or satin blazer is always an excellent choice! Whether you’re going straight from work to a holiday party, or just need an outfit for your office holiday party, it is both festive and polished. Adding a statement necklace and some fabulous heels gives this look the festive sparkle it needs! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/191583da-dd5a-44b8-b55f-7be4b5dd2b20/avec-les-filles-womens-sequin-mesh-flare-leg-pants.jpg Blog - Holiday Outfits for Women Over 40: Shop my fav Festive Looks! 2. Shimmer and Shine: Sequin Pants, Skirts & Blazers Sequins are the easiest way to add holiday sparkle. If you’re looking to dazzle this season, try these festive sequin flair pants from Macy’s paired with a classic turtleneck, body suit or silk blouse. Sequins can feel a bit bold, but when styled thoughtfully, they add just the right amount of shimmer. Stacey’s Style Tip: Balance out a sparkly skirt or pant with a simple top to keep the look elegant. Complete the outfit with black pointed-toe pumps from Nordstrom or Amazon for a sophisticated finish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/c75a083c-1e5e-481e-85ed-2ab11f5ddb63/strapless-tuxedo-jumpsuit.jpg Blog - Holiday Outfits for Women Over 40: Shop my fav Festive Looks! 3. Sleek Monochrome Jumpsuits for an Effortlessly Chic Look Monochromatic outfits are flattering and make a stunning statement, especially in black, red or cream. I’ve added this stunning red strapless tuxedo jumpsuit from WHBM that’s ideal for holiday gatherings and formal dinners. Monochrome styles give you that long, lean look, and this jumpsuit with tuxedo details is no exception.

How to embrace the power of saying…NO! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/935fe6c7-4a2e-4fac-bd4d-6f56bd74bbbc/Friendsgiving2023.jpg Blog - Welcome, NO-vember! How to embrace the power of saying…NO! - NO to Over-committing This season is full of get-togethers and gift exchanges, but you don’t have to RSVP "yes" to every invite! Protect your energy by choosing events that genuinely make you feel joyful. Saying “no” to one more potluck or cookie exchange doesn’t make you the Grinch; it makes you someone who values peace over pressure. Stacey’s Strategy: It’s hard to say no to friends or family during the holidays, but I try to plan ahead and choose the events that truly bring me the most joy over trying to just make an appearance at every party. I value quality time with my close friends and family the most, so I prioritize the holiday events with them first and then set my calendar around them. For example, a new tradition that my “bootcamp buddies” began is celebrating “Friendsgiving” together before the Thanksgiving holiday. This is something I look forward to every year, and I don’t feel “over booked” because it’s already a priority on my holiday calendar! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/1730308097399-W0IKIJKCY4ACIVSLCNPW/unsplash-image-OfVESgqrbJc.jpg Blog - Welcome, NO-vember! How to embrace the power of saying…NO! - NO to Holiday Weight Gain Woes We all know the "I’ll just have one more cookie" mentality can turn into a few extra pounds come January. This month, let’s ditch the guilt and say “no” to the holiday weight struggle. It’s okay to enjoy, but find balance, too. Think moderation, movement and balance over deprivation—no fad diets here! Weight Watchers has definitely helped me learn how to meal prep, track my points, and keep the cookies and wine balanced out with the workouts - but I also don’t deprive myself of the holiday treats that I really enjoy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/97c2d47f-3f0b-4a45-abbb-bf8f9108a65f/Stacey_05_18_2024_0222_edit.jpg Blog - Welcome, NO-vember! How to embrace the power of saying…NO! - NO to Self-Criticism If you’re anything like me, the mirror can sometimes feel like a harsh critic. But NO-vember is the time to practice self-love, wrinkles, gray hair, and all. Let’s replace self-criticism with self-care, shall we? Skin Savers: Brands like DRMTLGY have affordable anti-aging skincare to boost your glow. Search “anti-aging moisturizer” or “brightening serum” on Amazon for a range of options that fit into your routine and keep you looking (and feeling!) like the beauty you are. Or - you could just visit my friends at the Rejuvenation Center and try Botox. I mean, there’s more than one way to say “No” to wrinkles and self criticism! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/d0282083-5186-47cb-82ea-5331862a97a5/Expressholiday.jpg Blog - Welcome, NO-vember!

Because I work at a school where masks were required at the time, when I looked in the mirror, all I could see were my eyes and forehead. So at that time especially, I was hyper focused on that area of my face. I was getting really self conscience of the wrinkles when I raised my eyebrows and the little “11” lines in between my brows when I frowned. When I reached out to the Rejuvenation Center for the first time, Shelly and Caitlin could'n’t have made me feel more comfortable. They immediately put me at ease during the free consultation, answering all of my questions. After my first treatment, I wasn’t sure what my results would be, but after two weeks, I. was blown away with the results! I would advise any woman over 40 who is considering Botox but has been hesitant to try it to call the Rejuvenation Center for a free consultation. You won’t regret it! “ -Stacey.

While I am looking forward to a girls’ birthday getaway weekend in a cozy cabin in the beautiful mountains of southern West Virginia, where there is limited cell phone service, spotty wifi, a bottle of wine and hot tub under the stars with my name on it, I am also struggling with finally being on the ‘downward’ side of my 40s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/5ce25e0a-ba51-4b71-9674-7adf56cba6b3/IMG_6404.jpg Blog - Mile Marker 46: Birthday Reflections from the Road - So Here I Am at Mile Marker 46. Taking Mel’s advice, I decided to reflect on where I am today, and to think about some of the important life lessons that I learned so far on this road trip we call life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/c6949dc3-9b08-4b17-bcce-4f072ce3309c/Olivia_07_19_2024_0017_edit.jpg Blog - Mile Marker 46: Birthday Reflections from the Road - I am in awe of the beautiful, kind, intelligent and independent young woman my daughter, Liv, is becoming. My husband of almost 23 years is my rock, and despite frequent arguments about me stealing his socks (see this Lede News article) I am blessed to have found such a supportive life partner who is also a strong and loving father to our daughter. And of course, my four-legged snuggle buddy and sidekick, Jewel, is the best dog in the world! My parents are in good health and, despite sometimes driving me crazy with their technology questions, (sorry mama) are amazing grandparents to my daughter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/05b568da-80fc-4fd0-829f-5bd097b2c52a/birthdaygirls.jpg Blog - Mile Marker 46: Birthday Reflections from the Road - Although we may not talk every day, I cherish both my life-long friends who have been there since mile marker 1 and my friends who have joined me along the way. At mile marker 46, I can honestly say that I have found my tribe. If it is true that you are judged by the company you keep, I am surrounded by a supportive group of gorgeous, amazing, strong, ambitious, bad-ass women who are entrepreneurs, attorneys, mothers, business owners, medical professionals and educators. These women not only support me, but they also inspire me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/1724982928972-MMDP3XMA1EN147E6UJU1/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Mile Marker 46: Birthday Reflections from the Road - At mile marker 46, I have faced the hard realization that it is way, way more expensive to look good. https://www.staceycreely.com/blog/meal-prepping-for-back-to-school-weight-watcher-friendly-recipes-and-tips monthly 0.5 2024-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/1723931710032-3BX795BCC9SUC18A5NR9/unsplash-image-fP1Chij6dH4.jpg Blog - Meal Prepping for Back to School: Weight Watcher-Friendly Recipes and Tips - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/4e22ffed-3e73-43c6-9ec6-65f30f76df5e/backtoschool.jpg Blog - Meal Prepping for Back to School: Weight Watcher-Friendly Recipes and Tips - This week was back to school for both myself and my daughter, which means that I am back to planning ahead with meal prepping for our busy back-to-school schedule!

This week she is sharing her top five fav books for fall! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/30033f7d-2e7e-4de9-b143-191265b4879e/intheshadowofthegreenbrier.jpg Blog - Finding Your Next Chapter: Five Fab Books for Fall - In the Shadow of the Greenbrier, by Emily Matchar. The Greenbrier Resort, one of the most beautiful resorts in America, is one of my top 5 places to visit in West Virgina. This book details a family saga over ten decades and four generations with the Greenbrier as the remarkable setting. You will find yourself drawn into the Zelner family as they present their journeys to find themselves. The historical detail and vivid imagery create a picture in your mind of life at the Greenbrier, including a time in history when it was used as a luxury internment camp immediately following the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, and housed diplomats and their families from countries that had become enemy powers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/1194e48b-ce45-442b-8a85-de18cdc3cb92/indigogirl.jpg Blog - Finding Your Next Chapter: Five Fab Books for Fall - 2. The Indigo Girl, by Natasha Boyd. A historical fiction text, you will discover Eliza Lucas, the main character, as an inspiration and one that captures the essence of a strong female. Set in the late 1700’s in South Carolina, Eliza is only 16 when she is given the responsibility of overseeing her family’s plantation. You will discover a young girl bravely and boldly breaking the societal norms of the time, while embarking on the path of finding herself. While at times I found myself rereading a paragraph or sentence, it was mostly due to the incredible information about the process of making indigo dye—something I knew nothing about yet found fascinating! And, as a disclaimer, you may experience tears while reading. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/bf8a2442-545d-419c-9edf-a454dba324f5/allthelightwecannotsee.jpg Blog - Finding Your Next Chapter: Five Fab Books for Fall - All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr. Oh my, speechless as I could have pulled an all-nighter with this one! A historical fiction text set in World War II, the story follows two main characters, Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind French girl living in Paris, and Werner Pfennig, a German boy living in a children's home in Zollverein, as their paths cross during the war. Absolutely remarkable and uplifting, the star is Marie-Laure whose courage is absolutely motivating. Skip the Netflix series and jump straight into the pages of this beautiful story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/ad2981c1-810b-4ad3-ab1f-212c3435a35f/thefourwinds.jpg Blog - Finding Your Next Chapter: Five Fab Books for Fall Four Winds, by Kristin Hannah. Four Winds presents you with the struggles, and the bleak and harsh conditions of the Great Depression. The main character, Elsa, reflects the sacrifices that women, mothers, daughters, and wives make to provide a better life for their family. For me, this was a slow read as I found myself wanting to absorb the details, the setbacks, the agonizing choices that are encountered by Elsa. Truly a portrait of hope and resilience, you will find yourself empathizing with Elsa and the choices she makes all in the name of a mother’s love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6649ea82f5b162091cb727e3/fba50b4e-a8b5-46fa-9008-401cbbd52133/TheNightingale.jpg Blog - Finding Your Next Chapter: Five Fab Books for Fall The Nightingale, by Kristin Hannah. Yes, I did it, back-to-back Kristin Hannah recommendations. Just wait, you will completely understand why she is worthy of reading back-to-back. The character and plot development pulls you in as soon as you open the first chapter. Set in the harsh conditions of German-occupied France during World War II, you follow 2 sisters—each one embarking on their own journey of survival, love, and freedom. Both women, remarkable and resilient in their unique ways, will capture and keep you up late as you follow their paths. https://www.staceycreely.com/blog/summer-beauty-essentials-for-women-over-40
