Dolores Catania’s Green Satin Confessional Look

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 Fashion

Dolores Catania’s green satin confessional look went perfectly with the theme of the last three episodes in Ireland. And thankfully, searching for an endless amount of green dresses lead me to find it. And the fact that it’s now on sale should be enough to have us all saying sláinte to Dolores and her steal-able style.

Jackie Goldschneider’s Black Asymmetrical Ruffle Dress

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 Episode 12 Fashion

Jackie Goldschneider’s black one shoulder ruffle dress at the final dinner in Ireland was a classy option for the occasion. The dress is in stock and actually really great inspiration for a no-brainer dress to wear for a wedding this spring and summer.

The dress comes in black, pink and white. Though unless you’re looking for some whiskey risky business, I’d suggest staying clear of the look in white if you’re wearing it to a wedding. Unless you want some real life Real Housewives style drama.

My introduction to Dr. Pimple Popper (real name: Sandra Lee) was an exploding cyst video I’m still trying to scrub from my memory. Most of us associate the skincare expert with her can’t-look-away skin extractions. But one thing we tend to forget is that her expertise covers the gamut of obscure, acne-zapping facts to everyday tips. She also lives with eczema. So, we enlisted Dr. Lee for her expert tips, specifically, the best moisturizers for eczema.

Instead of sacrificing a long list of everyday habits, like say a hot shower, the dermatologist prefers making small adjustments. For instance, while most experts recommend taking lukewarm or even cold showers to avoid excess dryness, Dr. Lee says to simply “minimize the length” of them. “Most important for those of us with eczema is you want to minimize your showers,” she says. “For me, there’s no way I can take a cold shower. So I just take a very short, hot shower because the heat actually takes moisture from your skin.”

Her other small, but effective game-changer? Keep moisturizer inside the shower. “That’s key. It will change your life. Because what we do is when we take a shower is we get out and dry ourselves off. When you’re still damp…that’s when you want to put the moisturizer in,” she says. “Because it will bind that water to you. If you go out of the water and you’re still a little damp, it evaporates and pulls water from you. That’s why when you take a shower, you sometimes feel itchy after.”

When it comes to face cleansing specifically, it doesn’t matter whether you wash in or out of the shower. It really boils down to frequency. If you’re dealing with flaking, simply wash your face less. “Obviously, make sure it’s clean,” she says, “But do it when you feel like you need to–it can be just once a day. It can be just before you go to sleep.” Washing less can be especially effective for those with atopic dermatitis or eczema, but again, everyone’s cleansing routine is singular and should be approved by an expert if possible.

So what kind of moisturizer should you keep in the shower? In general, but especially for dryer skin types, Dr. Lee says to rely on creams instead of water-based lotions. “Creams are oil-based. Those of us who are dryer can tolerate heavy creams because they’re just more moisturizing. Even an ointment like Vaseline, we can tolerate that,” she says. Also, you don’t need to get fancy with your body moisturizers. In fact, Dr. Lee actually recommends a slew of drugstore staples if your eczema is flaring up. “Over the counters like CeraVe, Cetaphil, Dove, Eucerin; they all make really, good thick creams,” she says.

Grab any of these eczema-friendly moisturizers and stick it next to your body wash. You’ll be glad you did.

Jenn Fessler’s Tan Pajamas in Ireland

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 Episode 12 Fashion

Seeing Dolores Catania’s relationship with boyfriend Pauly Connell’s family made me feel all warm and cozy. Similar to how I would imagine Jenn Fessler feels in her tan pajamas during the same scene on tonight’s Real Housewives of New Jersey. And since the designer is known for her soft, sleek, stylish fabrics and cuts I think I’ll be cozying up to them in 5 to 7 days.

Are you a keen gardener? Have you noticed recently that gardening feels more demanding than it used to be?

When digging, does it feel like your soil has turned to clay? Do your plant pots and compost bags feel heavier than they used to? Do you worry about your balance when stepping over the flowerbeds?

Do you find reaching to prune the roses harder? Do you struggle to get down to the ground (and back up again) for weeding?

Whether you have a patio with lovingly tended pots, a productive allotment or a more extensive garden, gardening can be the most enjoyable and rewarding activity.

But it’s also hard work. And, if it gets too arduous, we can’t do as much, and we find it less enjoyable.

I Know How Important It Is to Feel Confident and Enjoy Your Gardening

In this article, I’m going to share the following:

• Which aspects of fitness we need in the garden.
• Why gardening feels harder than it used to.
• The top three things we need to do to stay fit for gardening.

I’ll also explain why we shouldn’t wait to get fit for gardening.

What Aspects of Fitness Do We Need in the Garden?

We use so many different muscles when working in the garden. We need to carry heavy items and get into challenging positions. And we might be doing so for hours on end.

Gardening is a full-body workout and then some! Our legs need to be strong for planting, digging and getting up and down from the flowerbeds.

We need to maintain good posture for raking, sweeping, and weeding. Pruning and weeding require mobile shoulders. We need grip strength to use the equipment, especially to operate pruning shears and lift plant pots around the garden.

Stepping around obstacles and moving safely around the garden involves lots of balance.

Why Gardening Feels More Challenging Than It Used to

First, I want to reassure you that it’s normal to find these activities harder.

Unless we work to maintain them, our strength, mobility, flexibility, and balance decline. This impacts our ability to perform activities such as gardening.

However, this decline is not inevitable, and we can get stronger, more flexible and improve our balance at any age.

What Can We Do to Stay Fit for Gardening?

Here are my three top tips to get fit for gardening:

1. Strengthen your leg and back muscles,
2. Improve your balance.
3. Mobilise your hips and shoulders.

Don’t worry; you can do all this without committing to an intensive programme or spending hours in the gym.

In fact, you don’t need to go to a gym at all!

There are online programmes, such as the Fit for Gardening programme, which covers these three areas – strength, balance and mobility. And you can do it all from home.

Here’s a quick taster video from the Fit for Gardening programme. The instructor, Tina, shows some of the exercises:

Why We Need to Take Action Today

If you’re starting to notice that gardening is more challenging than it used to be, this is the time to do something.

Please don’t wait until it gets too much, as it will be harder to make a difference.

Start doing the right exercise plan now, and you’ll stay fit enough to enjoy working in your garden. After a morning of gardening, you’ll have more energy for the rest of your day. You’ll wake up the next day surprisingly free of aches and pains – ready to return to the garden if needed!

Let’s Have a Conversation:

What’s your garden like? Is there any activity you’re finding particularly challenging (fitness-wise) in the garden? Do you find reaching to prune the roses harder? Do you struggle to get down to the ground (and back up again) for weeding?
