Clean Your Makeup Brushes for a Flawless Look
If you can’t remember when you last cleaned your makeup brushes and sponges, then now might be a good time to give them a bit of a spring clean.
Look Good with Less Makeup
How often have you heard Less is More when it comes to makeup? Especially when talking about women who are no longer in the first, or even second flush of youth. We hear it all the time, but we never think it applies to us! No-no no no … But we certainly know when somebody else is wearing too much make-up!
Sleep; Top 10 Tips for Getting Some
As we grow older we seem to require less sleep; we think so and everyone else does too! Is it true or is it yet another Urban Myth?

10 Reasons not to miss going to Clothing Stores
Throughout lockdown we were itching to get out and go shopping. A trip down the local high street or a meet up in the local shopping mall … whatever your desire it just wasn’t going to happen. And it didn’t.

Our hands say a lot about our age. Look at the gorgeous women over 70 we all admire so much (Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren, Julies Andrews, Maggie Smith …) all well over 70 and with not so great hands any more! It happens to us all … we suddenly notice we have age spots and /or are showing signs of arthritis.
Colour Basics and “Rules”: What Looks Good
Who remembers “blue and green should never be seen”? This is a “rule” with longevity because most people like having guidance on how to dress and many of us are fixated with the idea of having our colours done.
Perfume: All Good Scents
“A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future”. Only Coco Chanel would say that … and she did. I’m inclined to agree with her. Surely wearing perfume is as important as wearing underwear … you’re not properly dressed without it … Marilyn Monroe was famous for wearing nothing but Chanel No5 in bed
