Friends Share the Good Stuff
Thanks for joining our Walk and Talk! We’re two friends helping you discover how to look fabulous, feel amazing, and truly enjoy life over 50! Each week, we chat about our favorite shows and books, recent shopping finds, and all the fun stuff friends love to share. We’re excited to share it with you!
What’s on the Blog
Spend less but still look cute! It is possible! We think you’ll love all of the amazing “look for less” finds in this week’s blog post.
In case you missed it, here’s last week’s Walk and Talk.
What We’re Watching
MEGAN : If you like Knives Out and Agatha Christie mysteries you will LOVE The Residence on Netflix. The eight episode mini-series (roughly an hour long each), will delight you with it’s characters and quirky story line as Detective Cupp attempts to solve a “who-dun-it” in the White House.
CHRISTA : The Last Showgirl (Prime Video) quietly dropped in January, but it’s a must-watch—perfect for a girls’ movie night! Pamela Anderson stuns as Shelly, a Vegas showgirl facing the end of her 30-year career. Forget the headlines about Pamela’s makeup-free look on the red carpets—how was she not nominated for an Oscar? This powerful film explores her sacrifice, resilience, and forgiveness.
And, for your listening pleasure, check out Miley Cyrus’s “Beautiful That Way,” which was the perfect track to end the movie.
What We’re Wearing
CHRISTA : Spring walk? Travel day? Dog walk? Running errands? This is my look! I’m wearing three favorite athleisure brands–Zella from Nordstrom, CRZ Yoga from Amazon and Brooks Glycerin sneakers. Consider them the three pillars of your athleisure wardrobe!
Fit tip: The 1/2 zip from Zella runs TTS; I’m an 8-10 wearing a M. I’m 5’4″ and wearing the 25″ leggings from CRZ Yoga.
Shop Christa’s Look
MEGAN : I ventured to warmer weather last week and took a few of my Old Navy finds with me. I wore this outfit every morning for coffee and a walk and talk. The whole outfit is perfection and currently on sale; the top, the skirt and the sweatshirt.

What We’re Loving (and Think You Might Too!)
MEGAN : I love my green Longchamp bag, it is elegant yet also utilitarian. Looks great but also very functional. The ONLY downside, it’s expensive. If you wanted to try the look for less, Amazon has a VERY SIMILAR purse for under $30.
CHRISTA : I’ve always been a huge fan of Capri Blue “Volcano” scented candles and diffusers around the house. But I may have found something I like even more…Brooklyn Candle Studio’s “Love Potion.” I added the diffuser to my home office and love the fresh new scent while I’m working. From the website: Exotic notes of jasmine blossoms, calming lavender, and bright mandarin join in an olfactory experience reminiscent of a freshly picked bouquet of wildflowers. Great gift idea, too!
Pro tip: Periodically flip the reeds in your reed diffuser to help refresh the scent and redistribute the oil, especially if you notice the fragrance has become weaker.

Random Stuff We Like
MEGAN : While researching for our “Look for Less” post I stumbled across the Australian make up brand, MCo Beauty. After reading this article, tag line “democratizing luxury”, I bee lined it over to Target for an in person investigation. MCo Beauty does not consider themselves a “dupe” brand. Their products are similar (ahhh VERY similar) to higher end beauty brands, but the MCo Beauty philosophy is that people that can afford the higher end products will purchase them and they are making an accessible product for those that don’t want to spend $$$ on beauty products. What do you think?
CHRISTA : Need to make a quick garment repair? Did part of a hem come loose? Need to close up a v-neck that’s just a little too low? Does your wrap blouse keep coming open? No more safety pins needed! This is so much better! Places a teeny little “stitch” right where you need it for all those little outfit annoyances (or emergencies).
