Hey Dolls Hey, I hope life has been treating you all well in this new year, and if it's not, I sincerely hope it gets better. Life has been life-ing for me. I've been dealing with care giving, getting older, slowing down and coping with grief over the last few months. I find that as I'm getting older, my mental bandwidth can be fragile.  When I feel like that, I know that it's necessary to pause and take a break from the things that I can take a pause from. That's where my mindset has been for these few months...pausing, reflecting, healing and evolving. Even though, January was one of the longest months ever, I'm starting to feel like myself again, and I'm excited to start blogging again.  I want to thank you all wholeheartedly for sticking around, it is truly appreciated. 💕 xoxo, Gab 💋🌟

  I’m almost six months in to my recommitted healthy lifestyle journey. In that time, I've been making a consistent effort to stay active. Walking has been my exercise of choice.  I enjoy a calorie burning cardio walk, but when I'm unable to do that, I make sure to at least do a brisk walk regularly.  Walking has  so many benefits.  It improves my mood, gives me clarity, burns calories and improves my stamina. It ha s really helped me physically and mentally.  I’ve come to view my walking time as not only exercise, but also therapeutic "me time."   What's your favorite form of exercise?

I’m doing a summer wardrobe refresh and I have a mental list of the items I want to buy. Two piece sets are on the list. I just love how effortlessly stylish they can be. I think they’re a good choice to wear to dressy and even casual outings.  ⁣I slept on Amazon fashion for a while, but a friend turned me on to their clothing.  The set I'm wearing is linked on my Amazon storefront, and the entire outfit is linked on my Liketoknow.it  shop. Both links are at the top of my home page. ⁣ ⁣ What I'm Wearing :  Two piece set + Necklace: Amazon ⁣ Heels + Bag: Shein What's on your summer wardrobe wish list? ⁣

  Hi Dolls,  I visited New York last week. I was there for seven hours, it was a short but very sweet trip. I went to attend a Beauty Brunch hosted by the Makeup Show. Along the way, my friend and I arranged to take a candle making class. I've been wanting to attend one for so long, I was glad to finally go. I also wanted to visit Times Square, I hadn't been in over ten years. So, we made a pit stop there before heading home. Check out the pictures and the captions for the details! ✨ Wick and Pour Candle Making Class My friend found out about  Wick and Pour  on Tiktok. We bought our tickets from their website, the tickets start at $50. Our tickets were around $68 after taxes and fees. The classes last for about an hour. There are two locations in NYC.

  Hi Dolls,  The weather is warming up more, which makes me excited to wear my summer clothes and sandals. The Marguerite sandals from Oka-B  are one of my all time favorites. The pearl detail is the cutest statement. 😍 I’ve been wearing Oka-B sandals for years and their quality is superb. They have sufficient arch and heel support, and their soothing massage beads feel so good on my feet. ♻️ Fun Fact: Oka-B shoes are 100% recyclable. You can send back your old shoes to get a discount on your next pair. If you're interested in browsing or purchasing, click HERE . Use code: thagabulouslyfe to save off your order. 

Hi Dolls,  I’ve been enjoying myself in these DC streets! DC has had an amazing lineup of festivals, and I’ve enjoyed all of them. Wine and good company is always a vibe for me. I went to DC Wine Fest  DC Wine Fest  a few weeks ago. I sampled new wines, tried gin and bourbon for the first time, and purchased a few bottles to take home.
