What Are Your Favorite Fashion Accessories?

One of the biggest myths about women over 60 is that we no longer care about how we look. What nonsense. We may not be trying to impress other people as much as we did in our teens and 20s, but, we all have a sense of our own personal style. In addition, most of us are always on the lookout for clothes that look and feel amazing. Today, I’d like to ask you about your favorite fashion accessories. I will also share some tips for choosing and wearing beautiful brooches. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat. And, if you enjoy the show, please tell one friend about us today.

How to Declutter Your Home the Quick and Easy Way

One of the best decisions I ever made was to declutter my home. A few years ago, I decided that I had had enough of the clutter in my closets and the boxes in my basement.

If you are thinking about downsizing – or just want to declutter a bit – I have some tips to help you along the way. Join me as I share the highlights from Karen Kingston’s article, “How to Declutter Your Home, 20-Minutes at a Time.” Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat.

Do You Remember Your First Job? What Did it Teach You?

Few experiences influence our lives more powerfully than getting our first job. Most of us don’t stay in our first position for long. That’s probably to be expected.

So, this morning, I’d love to ask you about your first work experience. I’d love to know how you got your start in life and what your first job taught you, both in terms of skills and new perspectives on life. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat.
