  1. Style over 50: Dress for a wedding or a day at the races

    Comment
    Style Pick by Ceri Wheeldon Continuing with our dressing for summer occasions series , here I have chosen a dress with sleeves in my favourite colour – cobalt blue. It is very similar to one I bought three years ago – I have had lots of wear out of mine – teaming it with diamante drop earrings for evenings   I think it suits most skin tones and hair colours so for me is always a winner. This style of dress is ageless, so fabulous for women over 50. Great dress for wedding guests This dress is simple, elegant,  great for weddings  – and the neckline meets the dress code for race meetings such as Ascot- although if you are in the Royal Enclosure at...

  2. A holiday with Silver Spain : lifestyle, healthy and active ageing for over 55s with cultural visits in Malaga

    Comment
    Review by Ceri Wheeldon. Whenever we talk about holidays and travel on Fab after Fifty, the feedback always seems to focus on wanting to see new places and do things that are a little different – it seems that we  over 50somethings have far too much energy to go on holiday just to lie in the sun and sip cocktails! When I was approached by a new company  Silver Spain offering a different sort of holiday to join them on a taster for their new Silver Week initiative,  I checked out their website and said yes. The holidays are all aiming to  explore the more cultural aspects of the Costa del Sol, while promoting healthy and active ageing. Sounded good to me, and a great opportunity to explore...

  3. Are dating apps the way to find love over 50

    Comment
    Article by Olga Levancuka   Yes, believe it or not, apps may be way forward to finding love over 50. Why waste your time by going to the events or pay hefty fees by registering on  online dating sites when your dream partner  is literally a finger tap away, and often for free. Or is it so? On the first glimpse dating via apps is exciting, direct and provides you with that feeling of spontaneity and living dangerously. On a second glimpse, it is just like every other way of dating, face-to-face, blind date, arranged date, online date or by meeting a person at an event. So before you can  jump to conclusions  saying ‘it’s all about apps‘ it’s not. It’s all about putting yourself out there. It’s about stating that you are...

  4. Meritene: making it quick and easy for the 50+ gen to get the protein, vitamins and minerals they need!

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon Since turning 50 I have become more aware of how the lifestyle I lead today, will impact the quality of life I live later down the line – assuming I am lucky enough to live to a ripe old age! Not only have my energy levels dipped in recent years – (although some who have likened me to a Duracell Bunny might see that as a good thing) – I have also found my ability to concentrate for long periods of time has been affected and I tend to need more frequent breaks from my desk. Even so, my life is busier than ever! Funnily enough – this is quite common for someone of my age. Research by Nestlé Health Sciences reveals that...

  5. Exploring hidden talents on a leisure weekend

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon One of the things I promised myself when I decided  to divorce my husband was that I would take time to do more of the things that I enjoyed doing – as opposed to doing only the things on ‘his’ list in order to keep the peace. I have always enjoyed  art, but have to confess to not really having the confidence to draw or paint really since leaving school. I also have discovered , purely by accident, that I enjoy taking photographs – although this was in a way forced upon me as I had to take pictures for the website, I have found I enjoy the creative side of photography – and want to learn more about what  I can do with my SLR. I...

  6. Are you Fearless, Fatalistic or Fretful over 50?

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon Considering I founded a website all about women feeling and living fabulously over 50, I could hardly ignore research about attitudes of women turning 50 in 2017. Nearly half a million women in the UK turn 50 in 2017 including Davina McCall, Ulrika Jonsson and Kate Garraway – all a million miles removed from the outdated image of Norah Batty and her wrinkled stockings! But we women over 50 are not fading gracefully into the background – far from it.  We are as ambitious as ever. Boots UK has conducted research to identify three ‘F Factor’ attitudes of women turning 50 this year….Fearless, Fatalistic and Fretful  (we already know that everyone over 50 sits in the Fabulous category!) But what is the significance...

  8. Travelling Solo over 50

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon   How daunting is it to travel alone over 50? Whether you’re single, divorced, widowed – or just wanting to travel alone without your partner, what are the options for travelling solo in your 50s? Most of us are past the point of wanting to share rooms – preferring a little privacy on holiday – even if travelling with good friends, but the prospect of a single room supplement can place the holiday out of budget. I joined my parents  on holiday for a week  a few years ago – they had already booked their hotel and flights as a package – although it was a luxury hotel – my single occupancy room, for which I had paid almost as much as my parents  (their room had  a stunning sea view)...

  9. Do you ever feel invisible? Add your voice to our campaign!

    Comment
    Article by Sandra Peat Do you ever feel invisible? Do you feel that all anyone is  only ever trying to sell to you are household products, or cruises? If so, welcome to life in your fifties,  otherwise known as ‘middle age’. Although as women in our fifties we are healthier and wealthier than we have ever been before, we are still largely ignored by marketers and brands, and are virtually invisible in mainstream media. And when companies do see us, they are offering life insurance or incontinence products or at best represent us as Helen Mirren! And this is not good enough. We are a powerful group of consumers We are a powerful group of consumers, and it is time that youth-obsessed brands, media and society took notice. Become part of a movement of women, determined to see a change in...

    Comment
    Article by Dr Mary Reid Gaudio   Reinvention is what we do as women, whether it be in our careers or at home, we constantly have to change and evolve. Dr. Mary Reid Gaudio has gone through many reinventions herself. The high school principal recently turned author while chronicling the true story of her sister Ann’s battle and survival of leukemia in her book, The Phone Rang. Below she takes us through her reinventions in love, career, family and health. A fascinating life Before I was 50 years old I had a fascinating life. At times, it sounds like I’m making it up, but I really did everything I’m telling you about! After college, where I was...
