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.
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?!
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.
If you’re a not-getting-any-younger woman, you’re told to keep weight off and exercise more … the message is take control of your diet sooner rather than later, for the sake of your weight and your health too, and because of the aging process, it’s probably time to start adding a supplement or three!
I can only speak for myself but this aging business has given me what is called very mature dry skin … thanks a lot! I am constantly trying new moisturisers that will provide adequate hydration and thought I would share those I have found to be of real benefit in my quest for younger-looking, and certainly less crepe-like, skin.
One of the most popular words used in almost every alternative health discipline is mindfulness. It seems to have replaced awareness which is probably thought to be old-fashioned. I suppose it is!
“I’m on a diet” you say, and there you are, suddenly faced with every diet myth in existence! “Don’t eat after 6 p.m.” “Drink lots of water.” “Eat six small meals a day” “Only eat three times a day.” “Drink shakes”. “Fast”. What does all this information do? It helps us believe that we are finding a weight loss quick fix, and the truth is there is NO quick fix.
