Category: Growing Older

It’s cold and flu season again and as headlines are already predicting and worse than usual season, I’m working on ways to make sure I don’t get sick.

I’ve been talking quite a bit lately with my older women friends about makeup a lot lately. It seems that the products that I’ve used for years are no longer suited for me. Most particularly, anything that goes around or under my eyes. For instance,  my concealer and foundation are too drying for my already dry under eye area causing the dryness to become even more exaggerated – it’s not a pretty look!

You might recall your parents telling you to “eat your fruits and vegetables” as a child. And if you have children of your own, you probably exhort them to do the same.  But do you eat your fruits and vegetables?  And does it really matter when you start to eat them?   

I remember the first time I was faced with the sudden realization that I no longer had full control over my bladder. Oh sure, there were those times where I laughed until I thought I was going to pee. What women hasn’t experienced that, especially after a few glasses of wine! But this was different.
