If your “I’m just gonna putter around outside for a bit” doesn’t look like this, then congratulations! You’re not extra! I’m probably ex-x-xtra, if I’m honest. It’s my charm. 😁

Great consistency and not sticky from the Gold Bond Crepe Corrector Lotion. It take time to hydrate skin. So with daily use after a shower, this lotion should aid in smoothing skin.

Bloom-able roses from Lowe’s smell amazing. It brings back wonderful memories of gardening with my great grandmother.

Summer is for playing. Hot girl summer is for growth. I played with growth and working with my curls. This final image is a little crunchy. But some scrunching and they were softer. Does the neck fan dry the underneath? Yes! Does this project help with frizz, not really. Would longer hair get caught in the fan? Yes. Proceed with caution. #

I don’t think I’ve required a lamp this old before, but I love these lamps and one of the twister switches was nearly impossible to turn. So it was time. Lamp kits cost about $18 at Lowe’s. I was unpleasantly surprised.

So, I’m taking a small pause in my step volume and I’ll pick back up in a day or so. Tuesday is Jump Pilates, after all and the perfect time to resume my stair and step intensity. This would be 15,000 step day with 10 flights of stairs. My watch counted climbing the hilly town as stairs. This day a year ago, we were in San Gimignano. A very hilly, walled, Medieval town in the Siena region. It was a good intro to rural Italy. This is a view from one of the doorways in the wall to the valley below.

My new boyfriend will have to come in every fall as he is sensitive to the cold. However, my fingers will be crossed that he gives me tangerines for Christmas!!! You never know what you will find on the clearance rack. This tree looks perfect. I’m excited to see if I can make it work. This variety is known as a Christmas “orange” so I really might get fruit in December!!!

Today, a year ago, we attended a “dress up” party at a beautiful Palazzo Grifoni. Today’s walking challenge ups the ante to 15,000 steps and 10 flights. I didn’t make it to the gym today and walked outdoors instead. So I’ll be adding yesterday’s stairs to today. I gotta keep this honest!! To the party, I wore my hyper utilitarian black linen fit and flared “sundress” and a cotton wrap that also is a Turkish towel. As usual, my hair was curly and up. I was pretending that an up-do was fancy, but it was simply to stay cool. You will see this dress a lot since I also wear it as a jumper and a skirt. I am very pragmatic.

Catching peekaboo views of the Duomo in Florence was always a little thrill. This little view was a fave to see on our way home- day or night. The city, in general was well lit without being brutal. This night, we were walking back home from our first group dinner near the school. The challenge for May 21st is 12,500 steps and 7 flights. I learned today that I could swing my arms, like walking, while on a stationary bike. This move saves my knees, as they were giving me some “feedback” after my 1-hour hard Hatha yoga class and 25 minutes on the treadmill. I also learned that this arm and leg combo is a killer abs workout. Only thing holding you up is you. 😀 I’ll probably employ this move again tomorrow to get in my steps.

This was our first day of school with tours, meetings, learning route, going to the various markets, and eating well! It was also remarkable cool and I lost my new water bottle. Let’s get these steps and stairs!!!
