The Honey Edit

Real talk, real style, real life after 50.

“Welcome to The Honey Edit – where women over 50 ditch the perfection act and spill the real tea on style, life, and that big ‘M’ word. No filters, no fluff, just fabulous reality.”

I’m Kelly, and this is my unfiltered journey back to feeling like myself one outfit, one laugh, and one messy, beautiful moment at a time. Because sometimes, life’s too real for perfect outfits.

Grocery Carts and Good Intentions

Planning ahead beats letting hunger make the choices.

Do you ever find yourself scrolling through endless recipes and cooking videos, only to realize you’ve spent 45 minutes drooling over dishes you’ll never actually make? That’s me, more times than I care to admit. Who has the time (or energy) to meal prep for the week, let alone make two grocery store runs because you forgot the one ingredient that somehow makes the whole dish work?

Here’s the thing: food has become another area where I’ve had to get real with myself. It’s not just about clothes or hair or skin but it’s about what I put into my body. And let’s be honest, when I used to wander the aisles of the grocery store after a long day, my cart wasn’t exactly filled with kale and salmon. It was whatever my stomach yelled at me to grab. (Hello, chips. Goodbye, balance.)

That’s why I’ve started leaning into online grocery shopping. Game. Changer. I can plan ahead, see what’s in my cart, and catch myself before buying things that my cravings—not my health—are making the decisions about. No more impulse buys, no more “why did I spend $200 and still have nothing for dinner?” panic.

The best part? It’s not perfect, but it’s progress. I’m not aiming for Instagram-worthy meal prep boxes. I’m aiming for realistic, healthier choices that work for me now. And honestly? That feels like a win.

Question for you: What’s one habit you could change to make grocery shopping work better for you, instead of against you?
