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 …
Just Write the Damn Book – Set Your Passion Free
I have always loved to write … and read! As a child, getting me to take my nose out of a book, or stop scribbling stories on pieces of paper, was a thankless task. My school reports may not have been particularly flattering about my behaviour, but there was always much praise for my ability …
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 …
The Invisible Woman
How many women do you know who feel, or have felt, invisible when they reached their magic fifties. How many felt as though they were in a Harry Potter story wearing a Cloak of Invisibility? It’s not surprising that the results of nearly every survey you read show that as many as 7 out of …
10 Things to Acquire in our New Normal
This is a relatively short list and is, as you would expect, to do with aging. Or not aging. Or at least slowing the process. It is a list of 10 attitudes or thought (mindfulness) processes we can use to de-stress. We all know stress is a major factor in aging and is almost as …
A New Life for a New Normal … begin with Happiness
Well, here we are, it’s almost Christmas and here in the UK we’re back in the realm of masks, social distancing and everything else. Although we don’t have to go into lockdown which is a huge relief! Especially as some of us (that would be me!) are still trying to differentiate between the old normal …
Keeping a makeup journal – learn what you don’t know!
Keeping a journal about our beauty products isn’t something we think about doing. Not for skin care or makeup. I have certainly never done so but in review it seems to be a good idea. No more buying something that gives you a rash … you’d forgotten about that hadn’t you?! What do you Journal …
