We’re partial empty nesters, as the youngest com

We’re partial empty nesters, as the youngest comes home from college for long stays.

But … when we are kid-free, we make the most of it.

I’m 60 and @phildiederich is 59. We are NOT getting any younger and we know life doesn’t wait.

I’ve always danced and missed partner dancing so Phil said we should take classes so he could learn to lead. We did that for a bit.

We’ve found ourselves saying yes to most social invites and this has been quite a change of pace for us. We were extremely committed to being home for the kids as they grew up.

We enrolled in improv classes at @fstimprov and we’re having a blast. Little did I know how much fun improv could be especially with my better half! We completed all 6 levels in a year and a half and now we’re taking sketch writing. I also took acting and storytelling.

And finally we’ve been traveling more and longer. Alaska and California were in the books last year, we’ve been to Mexico a couple of times, off to Mexico and Bahamas soon and Italy and Spain (my country of birth) in October to name a few.

Thankfully we have great neighbors who take care of Toby!

What did you do more of as an #emptynester or what are you looking forward to?

You don’t have to be in a relationship to do these things.

Both Phil and I have our separate interests too. He has a vintage car he’s fixing and I enjoy yoga and the gym on my own for example. We also travel separately!

Earth Day to me is synonymous with these two human

Earth Day to me is synonymous with these two humans - my kids - that light up my life. Whenever we’re together they know that I will say yes to any outdoor activity, and it’s just wonderful to know that whatever we do together will be active and cool and “earthy.” Swipe to see more. (español en comentarios)

This was last August in Lake Tahoe and surrounding areas - we did so many cool things - and I enjoyed it so much even though I couldn’t see out of my left eye (I had a posterior vitreous detachment on arrival and wrote extensively about it).

I got lost on the paddleboard on the lake without my phone or water, for a couple of hours and well, I made it back. After that, I vowed I’d never again be on a water vessel alone without a phone, even if I intended to be on the water for just a short time.

In the summer I can definitely understand my daughter’s fascination with this place. It’s got the coolest landscape, and Phil is so jealous he hasn’t been yet.

Anyhow, let’s take care of this breathtaking planet of ours, and the humans that inhabit it.

Happy Earth Day!

Our active water-filled weekend at Weeki Wachee sp

Our active water-filled weekend at Weeki Wachee springs and river at 60!

We stayed at the Funky Flamingo Vintage camper at Neptune’s Grotto Waterfront Retreat (I have another reel farther down my feed just on the camper). $60 / night plus tax.

The kayaks were included in the stay, so we ventured out on Mud River but did not make it to where it meets Weeki Wachee River since it was Friday and close to sunset.

Saturday we went to Weeki Wachee Springs State park, $13 each, and paid $10 each for the tubing down the river. It’s a short distance but the water is absolutely clear and beautiful and you can do it as many times as you want.

We saw the mermaid show, which I LOVED, and we arrived just when it was starting. We didn’t have to wait, but the downside is I wasn’t close enough to take great videos/pics.

Sunday we rented a paddleboard (me) and a kayak (Phil) right by Upper Deck restaurant and bar. The idea was to have rented them at Weeki Fresh Water Adventures the day before, right by Weeki Wachee Springs park, BUT they were booked solid. Both vessels were $90

On Weeki Wachee River there are different barges and places you can stop at to purchase beverages or snacks. Most of the river is well-covered by canopy trees.

Being a weekend in April, there was a bit of water traffic and quite a few boom boxes, so next time I would go during the week. We didn’t this time because Phil is still teaching college.

I would also book the launching of Kayaks at the head of the spring so we’d enjoy more of the clearer water. Or I’d bring my own (there is still a feel, although lower, and you also have to reserve your spot). I just wanted to explore this time around.

We ate at the Upper Deck the two nights we were there and the food and service were fabulous. More on that soon.

The weekend was so active that when we got home I went straight to bed and took a 2-hour nap, :-D. But it was a fabulous way to spend our 10th wedding anniversary.

Ask me anything or add anything!

When I was young, I believed that if I moved somew

When I was young, I believed that if I moved somewhere else, things would get better. I would not be depressed (clinically), my eating disorder would vanish, and I’d be inspired to write my first book, to name a few. (Español en comentarios)

Geographical cures didn’t work. I moved quite a few times to different neighborhoods, different cities, and eventually different countries. The truth was that wherever I went, there I was, the same old me, with all my issues.

I’m happy to report that at 60, I like my life and myself so much better, and that’s because I put in the work to overcome all of the above and then some. FYI I wrote my first book and 17 more in different situations and places, and none of them were perfect.

Phil was the same way - he moved a lot (cities and states and countries) before we met.
 And well, we both ended up in Florida and more exactly in Sarasota. While we toyed with the idea of moving away from Florida at a certain point, I think we’ve made peace with our home and our town.

Our house is not cookie-cutter, we don’t have a manicured lawn or a landscaped backyard, and the interior is quirky and … well, overall I would say our home has character. With all its imperfections, it’s a nice place to be. Swipe to see a corner of it.

Sarasota has evolved and we feel we have moved without having to relocate. So much to do here: we’ve made new friends and found new activities and places. Plus, we can travel and get our newness fix that way.

So, for the first time in my life, I don’t feel things would be better if I moved somewhere else.

What about you?

PS.- This doesn’t mean I will never move. It means I wouldn’t move thinking it’s a “cure.”

When I started dancing at 23, (a pretty advanced age in the dance world) I had a hard time learning to turn. (Español en comentarios)

I was in a class with professional dancers (way to challenge myself:-P), a newbie, and a fitness instructor with practically zero dance experience, and I didn’t get a lot of guidance. I learned by watching the others in class.
 I realized that once your eyes are locked on a point of focus, and you start turning your body, if you whip your head around to go back to that focus, the body will follow. Of course, this is basic knowledge for any dancer. That being said, once I learned that, I never unlearned it.

At 60 don’t dance as much as I used to, but I can still turn without getting dizzy or losing my balance. I can still spin 2 and 3 times in LA-style salsa. :-D - And I can do it in heels lol. These are @inez and you can use code LORRAINE15 for a 15% discount!

I’ve realized this technique is the same for say, paddleboarding, rollerblading, driving, mostly anything. Your body goes where your eyes go. In life, we go where our attention goes.

If I set my virtual eyes on the goal of say, doing a handstand - as I did in my 50s - then my focus is there and I will do everything in my power to make it happen. Now I have the goal of doing an unassisted pull-up in my 60s.

I love goals and I also know that I can start looking away from my goal, whether it’s physical, professional, or something else, and that’s when I lose confidence and balance. I then look back at where I want to go, put virtual blinders on, and keep on going.

What are your thoughts on having your eye on the prize at any age?

Toby turned 12! I spend a little extra time with

Toby turned 12!

I spend a little extra time with him every evening “just in case.” (Español abajo)

He’s in good health but he sleeps so deeply now or maybe it’s because his hearing is worse, that sometimes I inadvertently scare him when I come over to give him a hug. 😭

He kept us all on our toes as a pup. He would escape and run around - he dragged me to the ground a couple of times, he would destroy his bedding … He had not one but two trainers and we all attended the second training. 🤪

And now he’s a mellow old guy. He sits on my yoga mat, is my shadow, sleeps on my youngest’s bed with his head on the pillow. 👀

He does pee on every new plant we have in the garden. 😭

But I’m going to miss him when he’s gone. So I make sure to give him extra love now.

Help me wish Toby happy birthday! Tell me something about your pet?

🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

¡Toby cumplió 12 años!

Dedico un poco más de tiempo con él cada tarde "por si acaso".

Está en buena salud, pero duerme tan profundamente ahora, o tal vez es porque su audición es peor, que a veces sin querer lo asusto cuando voy a darle un abrazo. 😭

Nos mantenía a todos alerta cuando era cachorro. Se escapaba y corría por ahí, me arrastró al suelo un par de veces, destruía su cama... Tuvo no uno, sino dos adiestradores, y todos asistimos al segundo adiestramiento. 🤪

Y ahora es un perro tranquilo. Se sienta en mi esterilla de yoga, es mi sombra, duerme en la cama de mi hijo menor con la cabeza en la almohada. 👀

Orina en cada planta nueva que tenemos en el jardín. 😭

Pero voy a echarlo de menos cuando se vaya. Así que me aseguro de darle amor extra ahora.

¡Ayúdame a desearle feliz cumpleaños a Toby! ¿Cuéntame algo sobre tu mascota?

Phil and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary

Phil and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with a two-night stay at the Funky Flamingo camper, conveniently located just a five-minute drive from Weeki-Wachee Springs and right by Mud River. You may borrow kayaks on-site for as long as you like. We used them and had a great time. More about that in a different real soon. (Español en comentarios)

This quaint 1966 vintage camper offers a cozy setup featuring two single beds, roughly the size of camping cots, along with modern comforts like a mini-fridge, coffee pot, microwave, air conditioning, and a Fire TV equipped with Hulu plus live TV—providing a comfortable balance between rustic charm and modern amenities.

Outside, you’ll find a charming beach area with Adirondack chairs, a park-style charcoal grill, and an outdoor shower with hot water. The property also includes a restroom with basic facilities and grants access to the surrounding water.

Situated at Neptune’s Grotto within An Old Florida Adventure Retreat, the camper shares the outdoor facilities and dock, where guests may use available kayaks, with visitors staying at the main lodge.

While the camper is compact, offering limited interior space and standing room, it delivers a glorified camping experience complete with air conditioning, electricity, and television.

Priced at $60 per night before tax directly from their website (search and visit their website for more details), it is a more affordable option compared to booking through Airbnb. The retreat also features themed rooms, mainly decorated with mermaid and sea life motifs, for those preferring a more conventional stay.

Don’t forget to pack some bug spray to fully enjoy the beautiful mornings and evenings outdoors!

Ask me anything about our little camper experience. Would you stay here?

Black has always been my go-to color, especially when I lived in cities, like Madrid, Spain, where I was born. (Español en comentarios)

When I moved to Sevilla, at 37, I started to wear more colors, because the warmer weather and ambiance called for it.

And then when I moved to Florida at 41, I just HAD to wear more color.

That being said, I still wear black, and - if I’m in the right mood for it, it makes me feel fabulous.

I do try to add some color, so for this 3-piece outfit by @clarasunwoo that I also own in plum, I decided to add a pink sash belt I bought in Merida, Mexico and @bornfootwear wedges in hot pink.

I just love wedges because of how easy they are to slip into and because they give me the height I want (Phil is over 6 feet tall and I am not lol), without the discomfort.

For any outfit by @clarasunwoo use code LCL for a 10% discount.

Swipe to see how I styled it. Which do you prefer, with or without the hot pink belt?

You don’t HAVE to feel ready to jump all in. Thi

You don’t HAVE to feel ready to jump all in. This could be going to college, moving away from home, starting your business, getting married, being a parent or deciding not to have babies, getting a divorce, switching careers, you name it. (Español en comentarios)

Most if not all the things I’ve done in my 60 years I felt and still feel totally unprepared for. And yet I learned on the go, to include how to make it through a divorce and get back on my feet after being a single mom on welfare.

There is no age where you must have it all figured out, whatever “that” is. Would I have been making a living as an “influencer” since I turned 50 up until now if I had waited to have it all down pat? Probably not.

I’ve also had fails and I’ve learned from them. I hardly ever regret the mistakes I made because they taught me something and I don’t have to live with the “what ifs.”

Whether you are 20, 40, 60 or like my dad, 85, (and still takes the plunge) keep in mind most of us don’t have all things figured out. But we do them anyway.

Does this resonate? I’d love to know.

10 years ago today, after 4.5 years of being toget

10 years ago today, after 4.5 years of being together, Phil and I tied the knot on the beach with close family. 💍 (Español en el primer comentario)

It was simple and cool and I wore a cheap dress, no shoes and my hair down.

My engagement ring and our wedding rings are silver since I had to sell all my gold (mainly gifts from family) to pay rent when I was a single mom and did not want to ever wear gold again.

Our “real” anniversary for me is in November of 2009 when we met and decided to give it a go.

But our families and kids were very happy we were making it official. And well what the heck. Me too. 🤓

I would no longer have to say I was my stepson’s dad’s girlfriend to his teachers at school after that day.

The kids wouldn’t have to say “my almost stepbrother” or “our parents are just dating” to their friends 🤪.

Happy wedding anniversary to us and to our three children! It’s been a crazy wild ride so far with the ups and downs of parenting 3 very different kids. They’ve aged us a bit 😬 but we’re still standing!

Phillippe Diederich, yes you are the love of my life, aside from my best friend, colleague and business partner.

Last night, @phildiederich and I had a blast at the Bal Harbour Shops Access Pop-up @balharbourshops_popup at @utcsarasota diving into a world of luxury with top-notch brands like Balmain, Tiffany & Co., and Dolce & Gabbana 🛍️✨. The brands rotate so even if you go a few times, you’re sure to have a different and equally upscale experience. (Español en cometarios)

The highlight? Dinner at The Whitman. We started with tempura-fried squash blossom, and ceviche, enjoyed perfectly cooked octopus and beef tenderloin, and topped it all off with a mouth-watering sticky toffee pudding, accompanied by a couple of fabulous IPAs 🍽️🍺. Thank you for hosting us and for a fabulous experience. Definitely a night to remember!

This pop-up brings a taste of Bal Harbour to life with its luxury brands, great food, and a beautiful setting filled with palm trees, lush plants, and events, all right here in Sarasota until early May. Be on the lookout for parties and events that are shared on their IG page and the website.

At 60 I can’t even begin to tell you how glad I

At 60 I can’t even begin to tell you how glad I am that I started young. It’s just a habit now. If I don’t move, I get stiff, my mood suffers, and I lose my mojo. (Español en 1er comentario)

Despite illnesses, bedrest during pregnancy and injuries throughout my life, I have always enjoyed working out. I was a fitness instructor in my 20s and 30s, an amateur dancer (I still do it on occasion), a lifelong runner, and a yogi. I got my RYT-500 certification in my mid-fifties.

Now that I’m pain-free finally from my rotator cuff injury I am so happy to also be weight training again.

A question I get a lot is “how do I stay motivated”? For me it’s second nature to work out, but if that’s not you, I would suggest doing what my husband (NOT a gym rat and not an athletic person at all) @phildiederich does - pick your reasons for working out (he wants to age without as many aches and pains as he would have if he didn’t move), and do it say, 3 times a week.

Phil doesn’t always feel like going to the gym, but he’s disciplined. I admire him so much for that. I never tell him to work out longer or more days a week. I’m happy that he does something (and has been doing it since after we met) for his health and fitness. I can’t expect him to be crazy into it, as I am.

So at your level of comfort, pick your reasons and muster up some good old discipline and go for it. Any exercise is better than none.
 What are your reasons for working out?

I carry this @hydroflask bottle almost everywhere

I carry this @hydroflask bottle almost everywhere I go. What’s in it? That’s going to depend on what I’m doing! (Español abajo)

If I’m going to the gym, it will have a couple of sachets of @kion aminos with water to keep me going during my workout and to aid in recovery.

If I’m out and about sweating in Florida or traveling somewhere equally hot, it will have a couple of @nuunhydration tablets or a @liquidIV packet to ensure I’m stocking up on electrolytes and don’t pass out!

If I’m going to improv or acting class, it will have just good old water.

And If my IBS flares up it will have @banyanbotanilcals CCF tea (this has happened a couple of times recently - during my trip and then back home a week or two ago - NO FUN).

Do you make sure you are hydrated and ready to take anything on? If you also have IBS how do you manage it? For me it’s meditation to destress, kitchari (an Ayurvedic dish with rice, mung beans, and ghee, taking a probiotic and being patient. It usually lasts a few days and then I’m back to normal.

🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

Llevo esta botella @hydroflask prácticamente a todos los sitios a los que voy. ¿Qué lleva dentro? ¡Eso va a depender de lo que esté haciendo!

Si voy al gimnasio, llevará un par de sobres de aminoácidos @kion con agua para mantenerme durante el entrenamiento y ayudar en la recuperación.

Si estoy por ahí sudando en Florida o viajando a algún lugar igual de caluroso, llevará un par de tabletas de @nuunhydration o un paquete de @liquidIV para asegurarme de que estoy reponiendo electrolitos y no me desmayo.

Si voy a clases de improvisación o actuación, simplemente llevará solo agua.

Y si mi sindrome de colon irritable se desata, llevará té CCF de @banyanbotanilcals (esto ha ocurrido un par de veces recientemente - durante mi viaje y luego en casa hace una o dos semanas - NADA DIVERTIDO).

¿Te aseguras de estar hidratada y preparada para afrontar cualquier cosa? Si tú también tienes colon irritable, ¿cómo lo manejas? Para mí es meditar para desestresarme, kitchari (un plato ayurvédico con arroz, frijoles mung y ghee) y tener paciencia. Suele durar unos días y luego vuelvo a la normalidad.

I have loved wearing makeup and doing my hair since I was in my teens in Spain. (Español en comentarios)

It was also standard for me to do it for any kind of gig (as a language interpreter, for dance gigs, I even wore makeup as a fitness instructor and of course at events and as a speaker).

Anyhow. Fast forward to 60 and I’m still at it.

I tagged as many brands as I could that I used here but my recent discoveries were @hudabeauty #fauxfilter color corrector in Cherry Blossom under my eyes and @onesize blurring setting powder in ultra pink - At 60 I just use a tad.

At my age and since as far as I can remember I also apply primer, foundation, setting powder and setting mist (I used @lauragellerbeauty here and I also like All Nighter by @urbandecaycosmetics ).

I feel older women can look weird in pics and videos when they forget foundation on their neck and chest. And if they use a filter on their face boy is it going to look disconnected!

As for the hair my routine is something I have down to a science. I would wear a heat protectant glove if you’re not experienced at using curling wands.

What do you swear by at your age? For me it’s definitely matching my face with my neck and décolleté.

If you’d told me ever that I’d be singing in a

If you’d told me ever that I’d be singing in a musical improv class and having FUN, I wouldn’t have believed it. I can’t sing. But singing instead of speaking in an improv scene justifies my movement on the stage (I´m very physical) and I enjoy that a lot. (español en el primer comentario)

I never thought I’d get into that cold plunge pool, but I was filming a reel and thought “it would make good content” and so I did it and survived. :-D It wasn’t for long, but I said I would never do it and I did.

Today I bought a pull-up bar because ever since I interviewed @ginnymaccoll for @vivafifty, I haven’t been able to get that out of my head. “Start with a pull-up” - and welp, here we are. My physical goal in my 50’s was a handstand and I did it. Now it´s doing unassisted pull-ups.

Sketch-writing … that’s something @phildiederich wanted to do and we can finally do it together after a year and a half of weekly improv classes.

At 60 I do have the feeling that time is running out, and I don’t want to die with any music left in me. So far I feel I’ve done pretty well trying new things throughout my life, so why stop now?

What have you done lately that you didn’t think you’d ever do?

#ad Navigating hormone replacement therapy for nine years has taught me much, especially about dealing with health insurance nuances.

Despite having good insurance, I’ve encountered hurdles with my progesterone refills.  
Designed for convenience, my treatment plan hit a snag with insurance limitations, making my international travel less carefree.

Discovering @GoodRx was a turning point, ensuring I never run out of medication, regardless of insurance complications.

GoodRx adapts to the ever-changing prescription prices across 70,000 pharmacies in the U.S., guaranteeing I always get the best deal by being able to compare the GoodRx coupons and manufacturer copay cards to my insurance prices.

I was astonished to learn about the vast price discrepancies between pharmacies and the power of choice to maximize savings—up to 80% off, without any signup or fees.

This invaluable tool, accepted at over 70,000 pharmacies, is a game-changer; I simply present my coupon at the pharmacy.

#sponsored Our stay at the Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen was sensational. It’s an adults-only all-inclusive resort right on the beach in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, and a block from 5th Avenue. (Español abajo)

You choose your vibe: high energy or chill. You can drink cocktails or mocktails by the pool, make reservations and dine at any of the top-notch restaurants, enjoy top-notch shows and participate in a variety of activities (games, sports, dance, you name it), or simply chill at the spa (I made a reel below just about my wellness experience) or nap on a beach bed by the water.

I am happiest by the ocean, and this was a treat! Phil and I had margaritas on our last night, and cheered to making the best of our empty nester season!

Ask me anything about our stay, the area, or the property. I know a couple of you have been here and have let me know you may have even been in the same room!

#patrocinado Nuestra estancia en el Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen fue sensacional. Se trata de un resort exclusivamente para adultos, todo incluido, situado justo en la playa en Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, y a un paso de la Quinta Avenida.

Tienes la opción de elegir tu propio ambiente: lleno de energía o relajado. Puedes disfrutar de cócteles o mocktails al lado de la piscina, reservar y cenar en cualquiera de los restaurantes de alta calidad, deleitarte con espectáculos de calidad y participar en una variedad de actividades (juegos, deportes, baile, lo que se te ocurra), o simplemente relajarte en el spa (hice un reel más abajo exclusivamente sobre mi dia de auto-cuidado) o echarte una siesta en una cama de playa al lado del agua.

Me siento plenamente feliz cerca del mar, ¡y esto fue un privilegio! Phil y yo tomamos margaritas en nuestra última noche, brindando por sacar el máximo partido a nuestra etapa del nido vacío.

Pregúntame lo que quieras sobre nuestra estancia, la zona o la propiedad. Sé que algunos de vosotros ya habéis estado aquí y me habéis comentado que incluso podríais haber estado en la misma habitación.

Small, quaint, safe Mexico town not to miss? Valla

Small, quaint, safe Mexico town not to miss? Valladolid, Yucatán, is it. (Español en primer comentario) Swipe to see more.

We had NO idea what to expect, and @phildiederich and I were surprised by the quiet laid-back chill vibe of this city between Cancun and Merida.

In early March it was not busy at all, and not yet super hot. In fact, at night I wore a shawl.

We spotted very few tourists, and were told by the father of the family-owned tiny hotel we stayed at that Valladolid is super safe. Everyone knows one another and if something happens word spreads fast and everyone is down to help.

The downtown is tiny but mighty and has beautiful cafés, boutiques, and restaurants. If you stroll around you simply can´t miss any beautiful spots.

We took these pics in Calzada de los Frailes, Ex Convento de San Bernardino, Parque Francisco Cantón Rosado, and the cenote in the city, Cenote Zaci.

The city is kind of dormant during the hot hours and comes alive when the sun sets, and then stores and restaurants stay open late.

I wore this red @chicwish dress that I bought myself. :-) and it was perfect for our day of touring around the town.

Have you been to Valladolid, Yucatan?

I love summer: outdoor yoga, photoshoots under the sun, and enjoying the outdoors. But the heat and humidity in Florida often turn these activities into a struggle, especially when my yoga session feels more like a sauna, and my hair falls flat the moment I step outside for a photoshoot. #SponsoredByShark

That’s where the @SharkHome FlexBreeze comes in. This fan has been a game-changer for me.

With its 24-hour battery life, I can take it anywhere—I don’t have to worry about finding an outlet. And if the battery does run low, I can just plug it in and keep using it while it charges. It means my summer activities are no longer disrupted by the heat.

The Shark FlexBreeze isn’t just about staying cool; it’s about making my summer activities more enjoyable.
