As the blissful June sun begins to radiate, many of us start to feel a familiar sense of dread: “Makeup Meltdown.” Between the rising humidity and the unpredictable nature of hot flashes, keeping our faces looking fresh past 10:00 AM can feel like a game of wack-a mole…

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…

There is a something I have heard from too many women my age, and maybe you have said it yourself. “I’m just tired all the time now. I don’t feel like myself, but maybe this is just life after 60.” We say it with a shrug, because by now many of us have learned to be practical. We know aging is real, and we are not looking for a magic cure…

If I told you that your body has the capacity to build new bone at any age, would you believe me? I didn’t believe it myself either. Not fully. Not until I started exploring it deeper. And now I’m out-of-my-head excited for all of us…

What happens to our body, emotions and memory in our 50s and 60s? They take us by surprise. Our body starts to sag; we find ourselves yelling at our kids for no reason at all, and we can’t seem to remember anything! All of this seems to happen overnight. There are even more wrinkles on our face that were there…

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…

My oh my, how times have changed! Super-powered by AI technology, romance scams today are ever evolving and even more dangerous than ever.

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?

Once you have decided to go on a group tour, you will need to select a specific destination and itinerary. With so many tour operators to choose from, how do you find the best senior tours? Begin your senior tour selection process by writing down your own “must have” list. We all have personal travel preferences, and you should look for a tour that includes all or nearly all of the items on your list. I have found that most mature travelers’ “must have” lists include the following factors:

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!

A woman once shared something with me that I suspect many retirees have thought but rarely say out loud. She leaned in and whispered: “What if I run out?” At first glance, her concern didn’t seem unusual. Many people worry about money in retirement. But as we talked, a different picture emerged. She had no debt. She owned her home…

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…

When was the last time you made a summer bucket list? Not a grocery list. Not a to do list. Not a list of projects waiting to be completed around the house. I mean a list filled with simple pleasures, small adventures, and experiences that make you smile…

Yesterday was an eye-opener for me. I learned something new, and at 72, that’s something. I was reminded of the many small opportunities for connection that exist in everyday life, and how easy they are to overlook. When I’m out and about, I try to smile, give people the benefit of the doubt, and not take things personally…

When people imagine retiring abroad, they often picture a couple setting off together to start a new chapter. But many women considering a move overseas are not in that position. Some are widowed. Some are divorced. Some have partners who have no interest in moving. Others simply find themselves wondering whether they are too old to make such a significant change on their own…

Summer is here, and if you’re growing tomatoes, zucchini, or anything else in the garden right now, I have a three-step trick that will change how you finish every single dish. Flaky salt is already a gamechanger, but when you add lemon zest, it becomes something else entirely. It takes 30 seconds to make and […]
