Paige DeSorbo’s Season 4 Reunion Dress

Summer House Season 4 Reunion Fashion

Like everything she wears, Paige DeSorbo’s one shoulder lavender mini dress at the Season 4 Summer House reunion (yes they are getting a reunion show this year…well a virtual one at least!) is the epitome of fash-un on a budget. And tbh we’re just hoping that Luke’s camera monitor broke down before filming, because we really wouldn’t want anyone to further ruffle those amazing feathers ruffles.

Fashionably,

Faryn

It’s not every day you see a fashion hair color on the Senate floor. That’s one reason why Senator Kyrsten Sinema’s pink wig made such a statement. The democratic senator serving Arizona hit the senate floor on Monday looking almost unrecognizable. She wore a face mask just like her colleagues, but she also wore a pink-ish/purple-ish bob wig. When she had to identify herself, she pointed to the glasses that everyone knows her for. But why the wig during such an important gathering? Well, not surprisingly, it has a bigger meaning.

According to reporter Brahm Resnik, Sinema wore the funky $12.99 wig to set an “example of social distancing from hair salons.” We don’t know if she wanted to cover her roots, hide a DIY haircut or just because it would catch everyone’s attention and get her message across. Either way, it’s clear what Sinema is saying without really saying it: stay home.

As much as many of us are going a little stir crazy, being able to stay home is a privilege. If you want to support your hairstylist at this time, this about buying a gift card for a future visit. That way, when it’s safe to sit in the chair again, you’ll have supported them during a scary time and pre-paid for your much-needed service.

Although we don’t know exactly what Sinema was thinking in her wig, we’re pretty sure she’d agree with this sentiment. Just last week, she tweeted the importance of staying home right now, writing: “Social distancing is critical to saving lives and keeping Arizonans healthy. Please continue to stay home as much as possible, and maintain at least 6 feet from others in public.”

That being said, Arizona Republican Governor Doug Ducey announced plans to re-open hair salons (as well as dine-in restaurants and barbershops) as early as May 8, though many disagree saying it’s too soon for it to be safe.

Secrets are tantalizing. And to think I finally cracked the code on the secret to living happily ever after.

Talking to so many people who are wiser, more thoughtful and more grounded than me led to a startling realization: It’s not that bad things didn’t happen to those who “live happily ever after;” it’s that these individuals found a way to deal with the bad things and continue to lead joyous and fulfilled lives in spite of their hardships.

Here are a few of their lessons for living happily ever after.

Practice Self-Care

Warren Buffet is the richest man in the world. Self-made. Lives simply. Recently he addressed a group of students at his old high school.

“What if I told you,” he began, “That I’d give each of you any car you wanted, any color, tied up with a bow and delivered to your house tomorrow morning? You would probably ask, ‘What’s the catch?’ The catch is that this is the only car you are ever going to get in your lifetime. What are you going to do knowing that you are only getting one car?” he asks the students.

“You are going to take care of it in the very best way you can,” continues Buffet. “Now, in reality, you probably will get more than one car in your life time, but you are only going to get one mind and one body. It may feel terrific now but it’s got to last you a lifetime.”

Take a Risk to Live Happily Ever After

Janet was left as a widow at a young age – her husband was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident one rainy spring night. Her family told her not to do anything for a year. Make no changes. This didn’t sit well with Janet. She picked up the pieces and went off traveling on her own, even though friends and relatives thought she was crazy.

“This first solo sojourn of mine, wrought with emotional highs and lows, was the turning point in my life,” notes Janet. “I acquired new friends, a new profession (travel writing) and a new outlook on life: Live While I’m Alive. I even began to feel sorry for some of my complacent married friends who still thought it would go on forever.”

Create the Dazzle

Ruth Harriet Jacob has a button collection.

Each button sports a different phrase:

Youth is a gift of nature – aging is a work of art.

Age isn’t important unless you are cheese.

How dare you presume I’d rather be young?

Better over the hill than under it.

Get Growing!

Her most original and provocative button says “RASP.” Ruth Harriet Jacobs wanted to be a WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant) but she says she “was the wrong ethnic group and too fat.” So, she became a RASP – a Remarkable Aging Smart Person. She pins all of these pins on a jean jacket and wears them wherever she goes – eliciting lots of looks and laughs and jumpstarting lots of conversations.

Learn to Deal with Loss

About five years ago, a close friend wrote me the following: “So often these days, all degrees of feelings of loss keep invading my life…Whereas at one time, I was feeling positive additions, now there are so many subtractions…

Of course, since I pride myself on strength and resilience, this is a mostly hidden, submerged huge feeling that I constantly deny and refuse to recognize publicly, except to maybe my husband, on occasion, who hates hearing it, takes it personally, and tries to fix it.”

In Judith Viorst’s book, Necessary Losses, she argues persuasively that through the loss of our mother’s protection, the loss of the impossible expectations we bring to relationships, the loss of our younger selves, and the loss of our loved ones through separation and death, we gain deeper perspective, true maturity, and fuller wisdom about life.

Viorst makes the case for a concerted effort to draw on our own resources and talents to live life fully, joyfully and productively when confronted with loss. It’s the mechanism, she says, “to explore, awaken, and nurture our personal magic…the unique way each of us looks at a challenge, experience or topic and puts them down for posterity.”

Cast Away Fear Through Humor

I was terrified of public speaking. But as long as I kept this little anecdote in mind, I stayed calm and focused. I’m talking about what Jerry Seinfeld said in his HBO special in August, 1998: “It’s a well known fact that the number one fear people have is public speaking,” Jerry said, “Followed by the fear of death – that means that people attending a funeral would rather be the person in the casket than be the person delivering the eulogy.”

Every time I get nervous before speaking to a group, I think of Jerry’s anecdote and it banishes my fear.

So, what’s The Secret to living happily ever after? What do all these suggestions have in common?

Each person was controlling their own remote.

Let’s all start today by figuring out what makes us happy and how to get there!

What makes you the most happy in this life? In what ways do you practice self-care to increase your happiness? Are there times a risk has paid off in greater happiness? What about combatting fear through humor? Please share in the conversation.

Kristen Doute’s Season 8 Reunion Dress

Vanderpump Rules Season 8 Reunion Fashion

Kristen is all dressed up with no where to go in her season 8 reunion dress. That’s okay though because thankfully we still get to see it all virtually. With the release of the Vanderpump Rules season 8 reunion looks I was presently surprised because everyone looked amazing doing their own glam! I almost couldn’t tell it was all done in the comfort of their own home. It almost makes me want to get all dressed up with no where to go but my couch to watch it.

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess
