Alcohol, Women and aging …A Really Bad Combination.
As we age, most of us seem to naturally cut back on the amount of alcohol we consume. We simply can’t drink as much as we could and stay upright. However, Covid_19 may have changed that slightly!
Isolation & Hand Washing: the path to ending the pandemic.
Today, and probably for many more days or months to come, we are facing a deadly pandemic caused by Covid-19. We are being forced to adopt a whole new way of life and it’s hard to imagine how we will ever go back to normal. Going into isolation and washing our hands until they hurt was never part of The Plan … for any of us …
Colour Change: Regain your Sparkle
As we age, we undergo a seachange in colour. For most of us, our colour has changed with each decade. What you could wear when you were 40 you often cannot wear when your 50 or 60. BUT, you may be able to wear it again when you hit 70!
Accessories: Use them to Add a more Youthful Look
Have you noticed? When a woman reaches a certain age it often takes planning and coordination with her accessories to achieve that look. That nonchalant appearance of having ‘thrown together’ something that looks simply stunning!
Defying Gravity in your Mid-life Transformation
Creating a mid-life style transformation is always a plus, but in order to make it a truly positive experience, you must understand the importance of good underwear and especially shapewear. Whether you’ve been there and done that or are just starting out, your underwear (particularly your bra) becomes especially important as you enter perimenopause and way beyond.
Bags of Style for the Grown-up Woman
I’m confident that like me, you have finally learned how silly it is to drag around a huge bag containing everything but a truck. It probably needs a truck to move it around. Have you managed to ditch the big bag and find yourself something smaller? Have you moved on to small bags of style?
Pets: Looking for Love. An answer to loneliness?
Whether you have a dog, a cat, a rabbit with long floppy ears, a tortoise with a great smile or even a budgerigar who helps with the ironing, the benefits of keeping a pet (or pets) are enormous. So much unconditional love … and in this day and age with so much loneliness it’s sorely needed. Pets can provide you with the love you want and need.
When Makeup Goes Bad, Clear it Out.
Ever wondered about the shelf life of your lipsticks? How about the shelf-life of the rest of your make up? Do you hang onto things in the hope they last longer? Can you tell when makeup is bad? Do you spit on your mascara wand to make it last longer? Believe it or not, make-up does have a point at which you need to get rid of it if you haven’t used it all by now.
7 Secrets for Christmas Giving and Receiving
If you’re experiencing low self-esteem issues, which affect women of all ages, you may be challenged in your ability to receive; gratefully and graciously. Gracious. Such an old-fashioned word for an old-fashioned virtue that seems to have disappeared at Christmas and every other time of year. Or am I being non-PC for saying that?!
CoQ10: Creating Energy in your Body
We all know the necessity of supplements in our diets and especially as we age and our energy levels fall (slightly). We need to ensure we have the full complement of those nutrients which we are unable to produce, or synthesise as well as we could, or are lacking in our diets. One of those is CoQ10; also known as ubiquinone or ubiquinol.
