I was looking in the mirror the other morning, the bathroom mirror -always a dangerous pastime when you reach a certain age-and noticed yet another line had appeared overnight. Not a dramatic one. Nothing requiring structural engineering. Just a small crease quietly settling in as though it had signed a long-term lease agreement. Now, there … Read more
There comes a moment, and maybe you’ve felt it too, when you realise you’ve been carrying far too much… for far too long. People. Possessions. Expectations. Roles you never applied for. Stories you outgrew decades ago. It’s like waking up and noticing you’ve been wearing a backpack full of bricks – and none of them … Read more
Why Growing Older Is the Ultimate Rebrand Somewhere between your last hot flush and your first senior discount, you realise something extraordinary: you’ve become a limited-edition masterpiece. Growing old means you’ve survived every trend, every diet, every relationship that should’ve come with a warning label — and you’re still standing (in fabulous shoes, naturally). Growing … 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. If we’re not careful, we risk stepping into La Poupée territory (that eerie doll-like look) or, worse, looking like we let a toddler do our face. … Read more
Let’s get one thing straight: style has no age limit. If you love it and it makes you feel fabulous, wear it. However, some things, no matter how fit and fabulous we are, can slide into the “Uh-Oh” category. Not because we’re “too old” but because… well, life changes things. You may believe the ads … Read more
Before I launch into this topic, I’m going to apologise for using the expression Women of a Certain Age. It always seems very patronising to me. We don’t affix a moniker to men of a certain age, even if they do have changeable body shapes, so why should women be singled out?!
So, you’ve probably heard about this thing called “Male Menopause” Yes? But let’s get real – it’s a bit of a misnomer, isn’t it? I mean, just the word “menopause” itself breaks it down for us: “meno” (month) and “pause” (stop). And sorry, guys, but your monthly cycle just isn’t a thing.
We live in a world that seems to glorify youth above all else, and the art (art?) of being famous. Really, it’s high time to celebrate the beauty of women 55PLUS and beyond.
You may know some or many of these remarkable women who are not merely growing older; they are aging with a flair that’s both inspiring and infectious.
So, grab your cup of tea or coffee or a restorative G&T (no judgment here, we’re all about that British charm), and let’s dive into the art of aging well and happily.
Let’s talk about fabrics …
Fabrics have changed so much over the years we find ourselves in a world of chaos, not knowing what to wear that’s ecologically sound and what’s sustainable and what looks good!
Have you noticed how many courses there are about writing blogs? Most of them extol the virtues of blogging (of course they do … they want you to buy the course!) and give you 5 ways (or 7 or 10 or whatever) to monetise what you write.
I’ve been writing blogs for over 10 years and have never ever made 6 figures in one month and these lovely creatures do just that … 6 figures … constantly … from their blogs! I’m obviously doing it wrong …
