Welcome to Alaska’s first city, Amigas!! I made

Welcome to Alaska’s first city, Amigas!! I made it!! ⠀
⠀
Originally a fishing settlement for the Tongass and Cape Fox Tlingit Indians, Ketchikan’s leading industry today is, of course, tourism. If you’ve taken a cruise to Alaska, this was most likely your point of entry into the “Last Frontier.”⠀
⠀
It’s a city that proudly displays Alaska native artwork, and near by Misty Fjords......And Fun fact: It also has a fab history of being full of women entrepreneurs who knew what a city full of men would want to buy after dark. 😘😘😘 ⠀
⠀
See stories for all the beautiful details. It’s definitely a great place to start an adventure into the Alaska’s wild. ⠀
⠀
Next stop: Headed to Misty Fjords National Monument, to see the stunning ocean inlets with steep canyon walls that extend thousands of feet from the ocean floor. ALL ON A FLOAT PLANE! ⠀
⠀
Health and happiness, dolls, from This Old Road ~Annette ⠀

Back then, we were yachties on our 50ft sailboat named Anna. Our adventures were mainly sailing to Mexico, Catalina Island, and SoCal oceans. ⠀
⠀
Never could we have imagined that in our lifetime we would have pandemics, global unrest, and that our travels would require tests, masks, and this new thing called “social distancing.”⠀
⠀
If you follow our stories, you know that we had to take a covid test in order to travel to Alaska this week. Thankfully we tested negative, but watch our stories to see how we stay safe during this time, and continue take adventures to places that welcome you to experience what they have to offer. ⠀
⠀
Watch this week as we go on a epic adventure and experience Alaska’s legendary fishing season with @BoardwalkLodge (and swipe to see our beloved Anna and her sister boat Oceana.) ⠀
⠀
Our adventures continue, dolls, and I’m so glad to bring you guys along! Enjoy!#ReInventing50sTravel ⠀

Now that you have great skin, get a great concealer! ⠀
⠀
Had the opportunity to try @YSLBeauty Touché Eclat High Cover concealer and loved it!⠀
#ComplimentaryfromYSLBeauty⠀
⠀
It has the most brilliant full coverage without the creasing and it fills in all those dark circles under my eyes! What's nice too is that it works just as well for evening out skin tones and covering those occasional blemishes. So go to "Your Portal for Fun" in my bio and check out this dynamite of a concealer!⠀
⠀
You're #WantedForGlow all summer long, Chicas! ⠀

We stopped by our local vineyard at @Stonehause It was a bitter sweet last glass of wine before the new closures. ⠀
⠀
There will be a time in the future where we will remember that we lived through extraordinary times. ⠀
⠀
Took the mask off briefly to memorize the moment and say cheers to good times and bad and to those poor souls who have lost the battle with Covid. God bless them and you, darlings. We will see better days.

Handmade with love! Just in time for summer, mamma

Handmade with love! Just in time for summer, mammas, I’ve got the perfect sumner sandals for you! ⠀
⠀
These beautiful sandals from @Plaka.Sandals are made in Thailand and come in a rainbow of colors and beautiful designs that add a touch of “vacation” to your summer dresses, favorite shorts, or like me, my favorite jeans.⠀
⠀
As seen in @TravelandLeisure they really are comfortable enough for exploring local towns, lazing on the beach, relaxing by the pool or gliding gracefully through the airport.⠀
⠀
And best of all? Plaka supports fair employment opportunities for dozens of villagers in South East Asia who gain fair wage employment. ⠀
⠀
See the link in my bio for a direct portal to all the goodness! ⠀

Books. They can transport you to beautiful places, make you cry, laugh, and think. ⠀
⠀
There is a great set of book recommendations on the blog today for you, girls. These books are of Women of Color who have gained and lost everything. The stories are amazing!⠀
⠀
From Sheila Bridges who gives hilarious anecdotes via a decorating guide, to one of my favorites: All the Women in My Family Sing, a collection of short stories edited by Deborah Santana, you will find joy, happiness, and sadness in these books. ⠀
⠀
So if you like a good story, you will find it on the blog today. Enjoy the adventure with the “Portal to Fun” link in my bio. ⠀
⠀ Hugs, ⠀

In another addition to my summer series of fabulou

In another addition to my summer series of fabulous skincare products you should know about, comes a beauty line of skincare that takes it back to the beginning - waaay back - to a time when natural products were the main ingredient. ⠀
⠀
Some background for you: Ayurveda, or ayurvedic medicine, is a healthy-lifestyle system that people in India have used for more than 5,000 years. ⠀
⠀
It emphasizes good health and prevention and treatment of illness through lifestyle practices (such as massage, meditation, yoga, and dietary changes) and the use of herbal remedies.⠀
⠀
@SomaAyurvedic is a beautiful example of a skincare line that honors those principles. ⠀
⠀
My favorite in this line is the Under Eye Gel with LAVENDER, MORINGA AND AVOCADO. I keep this product in my beauty fridge and apply it nightly for relief of dark circles and loose skin. ⠀
⠀
My other go-to with Soma is their Anti-Aging Cream with Aloe Vera and Saffron. It softens and hydrates my skin befor a great night’s sleep and I wake up glowing. ⠀
⠀
Check out Your Portal to Fun link in my bio and see this a truly fabulous line of skincare. Cheers, loves! #ReInventing50sBeauty⠀

Eat the pasta! The WallStreet Journal thinks lasagna and spaghetti will blow up in 2020. Not sure why. Do you? Economics, maybe? ⠀

Breakfast in the wild. Q: Do you eat breakfast? There is so much noise about intermittent fasting, that I’m not sure whether to eat breakfast anymore. ⠀
⠀
Swipe through to see what I’ve eaten while on the road. Everything from high tea at @theteahouseonlosrios to a beautiful breakfast on @RegentCruises and, of course, the famous eggs at @EggSlut in downtown LA. ⠀
⠀
Sooo... help a girl out! Let me know if you eat breakfast and what is it that you eat? A smoothie? Eggs? Or nothing at all? #TravelEats ⠀
