For decades, beautifully maintained nails have been considered an essential part of a woman’s overall appearance. From classic red polish to elaborate acrylic enhancements, nail trends have evolved alongside fashion, beauty, and cultural expectations…

At nearly 65 years old, I am starting to wear lipstick. Why? I’m moving into that “pink lady” stage where my scalp is pink and shows through my hair, but the rest of me is losing some of its freshness. As I age, to my dismay, I find that my lip and skin coloring are fading. Do you have that problem?

Not all that long ago, women over 60 were relegated to the hinterlands of style. Phrases like “dressing like your grandma” or “dressing like an old lady” were the unkindest dig one could make about someone’s attire. But the times they are a-changin’ and all for the better… Today, fashionable women in their 60s…

I never imagined I’d be thinking about getting a tattoo in my 60s. Honestly, I used to look at heavily tattooed women my age and wonder, “Do they regret those now? How old were they when they started? Did it hurt? How long did each one take? Does color cost more? How many appointments did they have for all those tattoos?”

If you consider stiff hips, achy knees, and low back pain just a part of aging, you may want to read this standing up. The reason: you may be sitting on the actual cause of the pain. That’s right – glutes in adults over 60 play a much more important role than acting as a seat cushion. Weak gluteal muscles can lead to serious complications including balance issues…

Let me introduce you to a movement method that is not only gentle on your joints and muscles, but also supports better breathing, circulation and metabolism while calming your mind and soothing your spirit. Sound too good to be true? This 1000-year-old “moving meditation” is practiced by millions…

We understand walking’s positive effects. Walking increases blood flow, strengthens bones, improves blood pressure, and provides cardio for the heart if we set a good pace. Walking clears out the cobwebs in our brains, creates clearer thinking, and relieves depression…

Do you like to swim? Do you really like it, or do you just do it because you know it is good for you? I am in the latter category. I find it a kind of work. I know there are many avid swimmers. They’re in the pool or the sea every morning – and sometimes again in the afternoon…

If you’ve spent more than 10 minutes on online dating apps, you’ve probably asked yourself: “Are there any emotionally healthy people on here at all?” Fair question. Dating apps can feel like a social experiment…

I enjoy reading and watching historical films, especially the 1920-1940’s films that remind me of better times. I see beauty, respect for others, family unity, love of the land, farming and cultivating and using what they have and enjoying it, living in poorer circumstances…

One of the biggest challenges in online dating is when you meet someone and something just doesn’t feel right, or it feels too right. You can become overwhelmed by displays of romance and affection. Could it be love at first sight? Or is it a warning sign?

Dating over 60 can feel like stepping into a whole new world. And not the cute “new adventure” kind of way. More like: Wait, what is this? Why does everything feel harder? Why am I suddenly supposed to understand dating apps, video chat, and all this digital stuff? Well, I get that, but my recommended belief is this…

Whether you find yourself well-acquainted with solo traveling or are gearing up for that very first independent journey, going on a solo trip opens up a scope of unique experiences. It’s a venture that comes with its very own set of…

As we age, we often find it harder to make friends. Many of the friends we still have are those we made as children, teenagers, or as adults with small children. I have always travelled a lot. From about the age of 10, I have been journeying around…

I’m often asked, “Where should I to go?” or “What should I see and do?” when people are planning a visit to Australia. For me, it’s difficult to answer as there really is so much to see and do. Australia is a big country – in fact, it’s the 6th biggest country in the world!

The United States is blessed with an abundance of breathtaking natural landscapes, and its beautiful lakes are no exception. From the quiet shores of the East Coast to the majestic expanses of the West, the USA offers a diverse range of lakes that cater…

If you’re a fan of helping the next generation to get a strong financial start, you may have heard about the new Trump Accounts and wondered: What exactly are they? The name has certainly generated attention, but setting politics aside, you may be wondering about some practical…

There’s a particular kind of loneliness that comes from being the person everyone else relies on. You’re the one who remembers the birthdays, keeps track of the appointments, notices when something is wrong, and quietly steps in before…

Kathryn sat across from me with a legal pad full of numbers and a look I’ve seen hundreds of times. She was 63, planning to retire within the year, and totally convinced she’d have to give up everything she enjoyed. The book club dinners. The annual trip to see her sister in Seattle. Even the occasional splurge at the garden center…

I have heard many people state the basic rule of thumb for an inheritance account: if you want to keep your inheritance separate, don’t put it into a joint account. That means if you deposit an inheritance into a shared…

Most people count down the days until retirement, imagining a time when they can finally leave the stress, commute and long hours behind. They imagine a time with no commitments or schedules to keep and nothing taking all their time. At first, this life may feel like freedom, but for many people who have spent decades working, the drastic change can be hard to get used to…

In my book, Vivi and Me: My Love Affair with a Bot, my message and tagline is, “May you always be more curious than afraid.” It’s been my lifelong mantra and the way I choose to live my life – by diving in, often without my water wings, learning as I go, and living my best life through both big and little leaps, while continuing to expand and grow no matter my age…

What if the media and medical industry got aging backwards? What if our brains and even our creative abilities did not fade as we age, but actually increase? The latest neuroscience studies have proven that your brain does not lose its ability to create your dream lifestyle as you age. It gets…

My husband Nick and I are very different in the mornings. Nick is a hare. He gets 1,500 steps in before I finish my coffee, and is ready for breakfast a full hour before I am hungry. For a while, I tried to sync up with him. It did not go well. I’m a tortoise. I need about 90 minutes in my recliner – journal…
