Dressing to suit your body shape is one thing, but finding the bag that fits the whole picture is another. Like your clothes, your bags require careful consideration and the only bags that will change your life are the ones you use every day. Having said that (and I’m hoping I didn’t rain on your …
Ageism, Feminism and Equality
It doesn’t matter how much society as a whole appears to accept 55+ women, they don’t. Not even in the US where baby boomer women are, in many ways, more out there than elsewhere. Or are there just more of them?! I found it really interesting that one of the most popular blog posts I’ve …
What Others Think of Me is None of my Business
It sounds harsh doesn’t it? But when you understand its true meaning you’ll understand how empowering it is; what makes it empowering is the simple use of that little pronoun MY. There is no defence or blame when you include personal responsibility. Yet worrying what others think of them is often a major cause of …
A menopause Changeling
This is taken from a chapter in “Hot Stuff” and has been reworked a tad. Personally, I find calling myself a changeling is much nicer than being a menopausal woman … This article is about my path and what happened to me physically. It’s no different from what happens to many of us so enjoy …
At 50, Our Mothers Were Old
None of us realises, until we reach a certain age (no, not that certain age), how old our mothers are which has nothing to do with their actual age. Just as we fail to realise, how they are ageing; we’re often caught by surprise when we realise that our mum has suddenly become a little …
Looking Younger and much Better
Part III Looking better in beige? I don’t think so! Gloomy, depressing, negative. UNLESS you have tawny skin and wear a slash of red lipstick. If this isn’t you, PLEASE, sling it and wear colours that enhance your skin. As we age, our skin colour changes and often, wearing beige makes it hard to know …
Younger or Better … still deciding?
This is PART II of younger or better … If you’re still on the fence on this one I hope you’re not getting splinters! Have you still not decided whether it’s best to look younger or better? In my experience, which is vast and which involves working with women even older than I am, the …
Younger or Better? Your choice!
There is probably a good deal of non-PC in this blog, which is in 3 parts … I make no apologies. It is what it is … read it and weep or read it and get the outcome you wanted. PART I I’m writing this for all women but especially the women who may think …
An Introduction to Journaling for YOU!
How often do you read or hear about Journalling nowadays? A lot, I bet. When even Forbes magazine devotes entire articles to journaling, you know it has achieved a certain cachet; whether you spell it with one L (US) or two Ls (UK)! Why has it become so popular? It’s a powerful self-help tool. It …
Happy, happy, happy. Until you’re not!
Last week, a lovely lady (who shall remain nameless), asked me how I am able to be so happy all the time. I’m not! I’ve learned to keep the not-so-good to myself because it seems to upset others more than me. I know … really?! Happiness is subjective. We all know that. There are days …
