15 Tips to Lose Weight Post Lockdown

Comment

Lockdown has presented a huge adjustment for all of us. Many have found that this adjustment is reflected in our waistlines! As we emerge into our new normality, with restaurants, hotels and hairdressers (thank goodness!!) , how can we motivate ourselves to have our weight return to normal as well? If you’re like many women, you begin your diet with great enthusiasm. You drink protein smoothies and turn down desserts.

Metabolism is the chemical reactions in the body’s cells that change food into energy. Our bodies need this energy to do everything from moving to thinking to growing. . Much like car engines, every person has a different metabolism speed, with fast metabolism rates burning more calories than those with slower speeds.

Tips for your Dream Wedding over 50

Comment

“You’re over fifty? And you’re just getting married? Is this your second marriage?” If you’ve heard these words before, rest assured that you aren’t alone. Society likes to tell us that we should each be happily married by 28, with 2.5 kids by the time you’re 33.

Many women put effort towards education and their career in their twenties and thirties, and might get around to finding the one in their forties, but aren’t in any rush to get married. If you find yourself getting married in your fifties, you’re...
