Have you shared your story yet? One thing I think we should all as mature women is to not fall into the trap of thinking nobody wants to hear, or will want to hear, family stories. They do and they will. Are you the family story-gatherer? Who is the keeper of the history in your … Read more
Makeup Mishaps After 60 – Uh-Oh! Makeup is a magical thing. It can lift, brighten, and transform—or it can turn us into something straight out of a wax museum.
