Hello! I’m Susan! Welcome to my Lifestyle blog, Beautiful as Life, a blog for “level” 60’s and up….the young at hearts and are not afraid to talk about aging, embracing these “past middle years” with lots of possibilities, challenges and blessings….facing all of these with so much grace!

To me, the most beautiful ever is what we call LIFE! Everything about it, when you think about all the blessings around us no matter how small…..it’s just pure beauty.

In this blog, we’ll be talking about a lot of things as they relate to our age group – 60’s and up-….lifestyle, food, food and more food, cooking, the kitchen, the dining table, fun things, books, travel, photography, pets, family, friends, community, events and much more!

As a kitchen devotee, a food lover, a self-proclaimed cook and chef, culinary artist and culinary stylist, I will also be sharing recipes, cooking videos, tips and how-to’s and if you know someone who suffers from acid reflux and heartburn, you’re in for lots of treats, as I’ll be cooking with #FoodsWithoutTheBurn in mind and much more even for non-acid reflux family and friends. (In our household, sometimes I have to make two versions of a dish 🙂

NOTE: #FoodsWithoutTheBurn is about cooking and enjoying foods that are my “6 Nons- non-spicy, non-greasy, non-fatty, non-acidic, non-alcoholic, no-caffeine”. Ever since I was diagnosed with Barrett’s Esophagus, I had to drastically modify my diet, cooking, preparing and eating foods I call are my “6 Nons”. I have since reversed my condition and enjoying easy, simple, healthy yet delicious recipes to minimize the effects of acid reflux and heartburn.

NOTE and Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and I am not giving medical advice. Seek medical help from your doctors. My recipes and food choices are based on what I can tolerate and what work for me. I am just sharing them.

As an author and self-publisher, I will share books, book topics and more books 🙂 and some tips about book writing, marketing and publishing….a life’s legacy….a book!

As a social media enthusiast, marketer and marketing strategist, we’ll talk social too 🙂

And as a Lifestyle blogger, well, what else should I be sharing but life and how beautiful it is even when the sun shines behind the clouds….and inspirational celebrations of life in our 60’s and beyond!
