11 May 202615 June 2021 by Penelope Whiteley

The only face masks we’ve been talking about for the past year or so are those that provide protection from viruses and other nasties.

Comparisons: Bad for you …

8 October 20243 June 2021 by Penelope Whiteley

But I digress (I know, you’re used to that), because today I really want to challenge the idea that the majority of women over 55 are often unable to do anything, say anything, get dressed in the morning or even cook breakfast, without having to compare themselves to someone else.

Trousers and Pants for Women: Classy and Gorgeous for the 55+ Woman

11 May 20261 June 2021 by Penelope Whiteley

Is there really anybody who thinks women’s pants or trousers, even jeans are age inappropriate for women of any age? I don’t think so!

8 October 20244 May 2021 by Penelope Whiteley

The 4 Best Ways to feel Useful. Again.

10 December 202424 February 2021 by Penelope Whiteley

I’m wondering if the title of this little blog seems patronising, sexist, and the type of thing a woman of 50 (and then some), would not look for! It does to me but I suppose there are many many girls who need to feel useful. Again.
