Hi, If you find yourself reading my blog, you probably either know me personally or know someone who knows me. If that is not the case, we may be connected because I follow you on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. However, you know me or if you want to get to know me, let me tell you a little something about myself.

I am Beverley Blackwell (Diva Bev) a 72 year old wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, a retired elementary school teacher, a native New Yorker, an avid reader, and a brand new blogger. My husband and I enjoy going to the movies, dining at new local restaurants, and spending time with family and friends. I love travelling, always enjoying the, warm waters of the Caribbean, and Hawaii. I fantasize about travelling to Alaska, Antarctica, or Iceland (don’t know how long I would be able to endure the cold, but I would love to experience it). Being a gym rat, has recently become part of my daily routine, water aerobics, and weight training being my favorite activities. I enjoy shopping (more window now) for the latest styles, newest trends, and of course shoes, and handbags. Love, love, love grabbing lunch or dinner with friends, where we can just sit back enjoy each other’s company, have a good meal, a couple of trendy drinks, and talk about our lives. Staying healthy, happy, engaged in life, and enjoying the best years of life, is my goal. Continue on this journey with me, as I write about fashion, healthy living, friendship, marriage, family and anything else that strikes my fancy. Let’s talk.
