Showcasing Robin LaMonte from ‘Hello I’m 50ish’

Robin LaMonte from Atlanta Georgia and I connected through the original Fierce 50 and I was drawn to her very early on. You see, we have a similar philosophy on life.

‘LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE NOW’ says Robin and I agree; life is not a dress rehearsal.

We have an interest in fashion and both love a kimono as you can see from the photos below.

She also has a lovely warm smile and a wonderful easy writing style that makes it feel you are talking to her across a glass of wine and some food, which some day I hope to do.

And that is another reason I was drawn to Robin ; she likes her wine as I do and is a wonderful cook. Like her, I also like entertaining, but Robin does so on a different scale to me.

I love reading about her ‘Masters’ suppers and her pool parties and her Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts. It is obvious she is an amazing hostess and she often shares her foolproof recipes.

And then there is her house. You see Robin is a very successful interior designer and her own Atlanta home looks beautiful, but most importantly homely. Have a look at her YouTube videos for a tour through her home.

She shares her tips on decorating on her blog and it is worthwhile taking a look at how she decorates her home for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

BREATHTAKING!

She would probably consider that her greatest achievement, being a wife, a homemaker and mother of four.

Robin loves travelling both at home and abroad (in a previous life, she was a flight attendant). As well as taking wonderful photos, she has the ability to take you there with her words.

An example of this is her post on her recent visit to Savannah.

A Rhine cruise with her father, starting in Amsterdam.

Or her trip to Paris with her husband for their 30th wedding anniversary when they took a cruise up the Seine to Monet’s Gardens. It is on my bucket list now.

Robin and I also play golf and we hope to play 18 holes together some day, the golf might not be the best, because we will probably be talking so much.

I hope you enjoyed reading about Robin. Follow her on HelloIm50ish and on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/robinlamonte

    What a wonderful post you did about me!
    We are truly kindred spirits and I hope we will meet someday.

'Style Not Age' showcases loungewear. My friends h 'Style Not Age' showcases loungewear. My friends have some luxurious outfits for staying at home. And I am lounging around in a hoodie  @primark and @carraig_donn comfy trousers. Psst! They have a slightly elasticated waist. I always swore I would never wear trousers without a structured waistband!
And yet here I am. But they are comfy and stylish and I love the stripes down the sides. Check out my blog and my friends  @is_this_mutton_  @annasislandstyle  @mummabstylish  and @thestylesplash.
And recommend some nice loungewear sets please. I need to up my game!

Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, tak Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, taken when we could go further than 5k. Wearing all Zara except for old @carl_scarpa boots. How are you coping with the present lockdown? I am reading lots and watching telly and walking. I sympathise with those of you who are homeschooling and trying to work. Not easy. But we are nearly there. Stay strong.

New Year Resolutions are not for me. I just love New Year Resolutions are not for me.
 I just love the life I live. Of course I am worried about the Pandemic. Who isn't? 
But even though I cannot meet friends, eat out or do many of the 'normal' activities I used to do, I can still walk and enjoy the lovely place I live. Pop over to the blog to see my farewell to 2020.

 'Life is not measured by 
the number of breaths we take, but
the moments that take our breaths away.'

Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Year's Eve for certain. We are sitting at home watching the telly. But welcoming in 2021 with open arms and hoping that in a few months we can return to a more normal life. 

While 2020 was tough, it also made me appreciate (even more) the beautiful place where I live. 

2020 also had its highlights: our third grandson arrived a few weeks ago!

Stay positive my friends. Stay safe and
 thank you for your support.

It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we are out and about. Warm outerwear has never been more important, as we meet up with friends for socially distanced coffee outdoors.

 The coat from @primark has kept me cosy during these difficult Covid times.  This pic was taken down a country lane a few weeks ago when I was visiting my parents.

And I have lived in these camo leggings from @fandfclothing for the past few months.  Walking boots and hat are old. Pop over to stories for more pics.

Go check out my friends @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash to see what they wear when they are out and about.

Writing about the importance of supplementing with Writing about the importance of supplementing with Vitamin C (particularly at the moment) on the blog. Liposomal Vitamin C is all the rage becuse it promises optimal absorption. It is all quite scientific. But what you need to know is that taking it will benefit your immune system, your energy and your skin. Did I mention this Somega is delicious? More on the blog.

From the archives. Remember when we tried on dress From the archives. Remember when we tried on dresses etc in changing rooms? And browsed in shops?
This is one that got away. Kind of wish I had bought it now @lkbennettlondon 
I am not so good at online shopping. Bought runners online in the size I normally get in that brand and they had to go back. Anyone else with the same problem?

🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) h 🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) has Ionic Brushing Superpowers! 

🪥Sounds impressive? It is!

🪥But do not ask me to explain it.Check out @ion.sei for all the science stuff. And learn about the innovative technology used in this German manufactured and Japanese inspired toothbrush. 

🪥It has to do with a UV LED light, a titanium bar and negative ions. But it is rather complicated and I am not a science geek.

🪥What I know is that my teeth  and gums feel cleaner and are cleaner. Because it actually prevents plaque from forming.

🪥Easy to use (there are 3 brushing modes) and gentle on gums, it turns off after 2 minutes. And delivers minimum 36,000 strokes in that time!!
