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? Amongst researchers and the medical fraternity, the general consensus seems to be that we do not require less sleep, but are no longer able to have loooong sleep-filled nights … the good old 8 hours straight is a thing of the past.
You know, I frequently find all things PC to be too OTT and I’m not alone. but occasionally I wonder if it’s due to my age. I have now decided it has nothing to do with my age because so many girls think the same way. Perhaps it’s something to do with being female? Am I allowed to say female?!
“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
Right now, as we all face another few weeks of being locked in, it seems the greatest scream of anguish is caused by frustration … the frustration of empty shelves at the supermarket, the frustration of the existence of profiteers, of not being able to go to work, of having to fend off profiteers or of being ripped off by them, of not being able to go where you want to go or just get in the car and take a drive. The frustration of being in the house day after day after day after day.
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!
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 …
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.
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?
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.
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.
