Summer. My favorite season: light, bright clothing, sandals, self-tanner (no more “real” tanning for me!), iced tea with mint, that delicious smell of blueberry pie baking in the oven, and more time to just slow down.
Then . . . every four years we have the excitement of the Summer Olympic Games, which makes this season even more special! This year, we’ve witnessed Michael Phelps reach an unprecedented 23 total Gold Medals, the two “Simones” bringing home the gold, Katie Ledecky made surpassing her own world record seem like a walk in the park (or swim in the kiddie pool), and holy moly Usain Bolt! 
In honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, I dedicate this week’s FASHION FLASH–the best online mini-mag for women 40+–to all the athletes, their families, friends, and fans! It’s filled with fabulous articles that will help you be your personal best!
Okay . . . enough chitchat. Time to kick off those cute little kitten heels, plop down in a hammock with a glass of chilly rose’, and dig in to this week’s FASHION FLASH! We’ve got tips on how to stay hydrated now matter how hot it gets; the pros and cons of lanolin for skincare; the power of essential oils; traveling down the Nile just as Cleopatra would have done; and so much more!
