THE KITCHIN SINK
Eat. Drink. Dress.
I'm a woman who recently turned 60 just trying to hang on to my dignity in a world of Tik Tok videos and eyebrow blogs. How do we older women stay relevant and get the bartender to ask us what we want to drink? When I find out, I'll let you know. In the meantime, I'm just writing about my favorite things: food, fitness, nutrition science and the challenges of being a recent leukemia survivor.
