Make Over In My Empty Nest

Hi everyone,

I have given and now want to receive.  My children are out of the house.  Time for me, but I feel overwhelmed.

I want a makeover in my house and my clothes.

What did you do to get started with starting over?

It is easier to do my home than myself.  I don't have the habit of shopping for nice clothes, hair fashion and make up.

I admit I am a bargain shopper.  Do I shift that a little now for a better look?
I feel like a young uneducated person when it comes to these questions, so I am writing all of you for guidance.

Where do you shop?  What products can't you live without in your childless phase, so to speak?   I treat myself to lipstick at the Mall.

I collect vases so now there is more room to leave them out.  Love that.

I also want a five day vacation for next year.  Where would you return for a vacation?  I am going to save each month.

Thank you for being here and part of my community as we go through this silly, new part of life.
