  1. 7 of the best fitness DVDs for women over 50

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon We might want to improve our fitness over 50 but we  don’t all want to join gyms, much preferring to exercise in the comfort and privacy of our own homes. I have chosen a selection of some of my favourite fitness DVDs – they have not been developed specifically for women over 50, but they are DVDs that either I use myself…or have friends who do…and as we are all over 50 we think that these are the ones we like to share. // < !]>Amazon.co.uk Widgets   Callanetics One of the originals..and still one of the best in my opinion.

  2. Meryl Streep talks about her role as Florence Foster Jenkins

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon If you haven’t yet seen Florence Foster Jenkins…it’s not too late. Starring Meryl Streep  as Florence and Hugh Grant as her husband, it follows the rise (and fall) of socialite Florence, who believes she can sing and realises her ambition to sing at Carnegie Hall – with not quite the reception she had anticipated. Here is what Meryl had to say about playing this fascinating character! The film is full of humour and warmth. Meryl Steep as always is superb, and Hugh Grant, despite all his character’s faults , is still likeable as Florence’s husband. As he says in the film ‘Ours is a very happy home’ ….despite his lifestyle which most would find difficult to condone, although as the...

  3. Never too late: 73 year old grandmother named as most inspiring sport and fitness role model

    Comment
    Eddie Brocklesby, a 73-year-old grandmother from Vauxhall, has today been named as the nation’s most inspiring and dedicated sport and fitness role model after winning The Gym Group’s Unsung Heroes of Sport & Fitness Awards.  The awards seek to recognise incredible individuals in the local community who have motivated women to enjoy the benefits of physical activity. Fitness champion Eddie, who was a social worker for 50 years, was nominated for the award for setting up charity Silverfit.  Established in 2013 with just five people and now nearly 1,000 in 18 different venues, the London-based charity’s aim is to promote physical activity and wellbeing in today’s ageing population, enabling older people to make new friends and lead an independent life for...

  4. Moving on after divorce in your 50s – practical steps to build a new social life

    Comment
    By the Midlife Divorcee Nobody expects to get divorced in their 50s, irrespective of who made the decision to bring the marriage to a close – with all the emotional and financial upheaval associated with it, but life does move on. Don’t let this life change turn you into a hermit! Look for groups to join to get out and about Finding yourself on your own also means reviving your social life. To begin with you might be happy to spend time with family members and other couples, but at some point you will want to branch out on your own.  But how? Meetup Groups have proven to be a valuable lifeline for many people wanting to relaunch their social  lives. Not just for singles, meetup groups  are informal groups set up by...

  5. Review Cult 51 Night Cream and Cult 51 Immediate Effect Serum

    Comment
    Review by Ceri Wheeldon I can certainly see why this night cream and serum have created a cult following.   They give 51 reasons why the cream is effective . including an increase of up to 24% of new skin cell production and up to 52% reduction in wrinkles after 28 days. I have been using the Cult 51 night cream for the past 3 weeks and all I can say is ‘wow’ From the first application, the skin is given an immediate boost, I woke up the following morning with my skin feeling as though it had received the benefit of a salon facial- 3 weeks later and my skin is looking visibly better, with my crows feet look far softer – there had been a definite...

  7. Angie Best models new swimwear range at 63

    Comment
    Article by Fab after Fifty. How often do we comment on retailers using young models to sell to clothes to our age group? Well at least one retailer has had the confidence to change that. Retailer JD Williams has announced 63 year old Angie Best, model and former wife of George Best, as the face of its swimwear range by Melissa Odabash. Shot on location in Portugal, the retailer and Angie insisted on minimal image retouching to inspire women to feel comfortable and confident when baring all in a bikini. The iconic model has modelled the 10 piece collection of bikinis, one-pieces and cover ups from Sea by Melissa Odabash – the first swimwear range created specifically to fit and flatter the figure of the 50 plus woman. As a leading fashion retailer for...

  8. 50plus London Fashion Week Event

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon Models from Mrs Robinson Management: Evon, Brucella, Sylvia, Tanya, Stefanie, Sharron, Valerie, Elsa, Tracey   I have to admit that when I was invited to the first 50plus fashion week event I was in two minds as to whether or not to go – I get so tired of being inundated with press releases from brands saying that they want to show me clothes that my ‘readers will love’, only to be confronted by a sea of images of frumpy, uninspiring clothes, that I tend to beat a hasty retreat, but I’m glad I went. It was a fabulous event and I was pleasantly surprised. Held at the Cafe Royal it was a collaboration between online retailer JD Williams and London College...

  9. Are we building a Dementia Friendly Society?

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon Most of us today know someone whose life has been affected by dementia.  With an ageing population the incidence of those being diagnosed with dementia will continue to increase.I attended an online webinar talking about the challenges and some of the solutions facing us here in the UK. Looking ahead to 2030, the number of people living with dementia is estimated to increase to 76 million. The odds of getting dementia are 1 in 100 for those in their 60s, while it’s just 1 in 20 for those in their 70s I was amazed to learn that in some parts of the UK, only 20% of those with dementia are actually diagnosed.   So what are the key issues?   Professor Graham Stokes who is the Global Director of Dementia Care at Bupa...

  10. Bound Feet Blues A One Woman Show by Yang-May Ooi: Review

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon   A thought provoking and moving one woman show,  Yang- May Ooi shares her own life experience through the shoes she has worn and compares how the shoes we wear affect our lives and perceptions of us to the Chinese practice of foot binding. Yang-May Ooi  shares fascinating insights as to how the lives of generations of her own family were affected by having their feet bound..or not! Is this tradition of binding feet in order to pursue ideal beauty so different to what we do today in terms of nips and tucks to achieve perceived ideals? Although we may think of foot binding as barbaric, was the creation of the Golden Lotus foot, created through binding, breaking bones and cutting tendons in order to have the ‘beautiful’ feet to capture the best husband...
