O’hello,
We’re Cara O’Dea and Karen O’Sullivan, two friends and former coworkers who bonded over our shared experiences as New Jersey transplants living in the North Shore of Chicago and of course, the O’ in our last names! We also have a deep love for fashion, beauty, wellness, pop culture, and travel. Both of us enjoy the thrill of finding great things and sharing our discoveries with our friends.
O’So Good Living started as a way for us to share our interests and perspectives as women over 50, which we felt was lacking online. We share our love for style, creativity and vibrant living through our newsletter, social media, curated shopping and live events that connect and inspire our community.
While we don’t claim to be experts, our diverse backgrounds and experiences in magazines, fashion, advertising and retail for Karen and finance, human resources, dermatology, and entrepreneurship for Cara gave us a wealth of knowledge to share with our community.
On a personal note, we’re both proud parents of six wonderful children (three boys for Cara and three girls for Karen).
Cara is a self-proclaimed skincare enthusiast who loves discovering new products and searching for the perfect pair of white jeans. She’s also a fan of true crime and documentaries, and you might even find her wearing yoga pants even though she doesn’t practice yoga. Pasta is her love language, and in her opinion, there’s nothing better than spending a sunny day by the pool, sipping a margarita (of course, slathered in sunscreen!).
Karen has a keen eye for style and always stays up-to-date with the latest trends. Her personal style is classic with a modern twist, just like her cocktails. You’ll only find her in athletic wear when she’s doing pilates or yoga. After years living in New York, she still longs for a good bagel and pizza. If you want to catch her, check the nearest beach.
