  1. The Perfect Virtual Activities for Families who Can’t be Together this New Year’s Eve

    Comment
    2020 is finally drawing to a close and after what has undoubtedly been a difficult year, many of us will likely be ready to wash our hands of 2020 completely and move on to greener pastures. But with most of the UK  now living under stricter restrictions, it seems unlikely that we’ll be welcoming in the New Year with our families and friends. Which should come as no surprise considering many are thought to have just spent their Christmas alone and isolated. With fear growing that many people may struggle to cope with isolation over what is traditionally a period for families to come together and celebrate, Chums, a retail brand for older people based in the North West, has put...

  2. Things to do in Lockdown: Trace your Family Tree.

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon Who do you think you are? With the prospect of 4 weeks in lockdown and little opportunity to socialise unless the weather was good enough to meet a friend for a walk on weekends, I decided I had to come up with some ‘bad weather’ ideas for things to do. I have thought about tracing my family tree for a while – but never seemed to have the time, so now seemed to be the ideal opportunity. A cousin on my Dad’s side of the family had made a start and was happy to share what he had already done. He had made great inroads in tracing my grandfather’s family, but not my grandmother’s , so I decided to start here. I know very little about my grandmother. She...

  4. What can you expect to see on the NEW Fab after Fifty Chat show? Midlife Real Life

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon   What can you expect to see on the NEW Fab after Fifty Chat show? We will be talking all things MidLife Real Life. I am joined by regular panelists stylist and brand consultant Maggie McMillan, and makeup artist Jo-Anne Jewitt. As we move forward we will have a variety of guests talking all things midlife, including career,  exercise, face yoga, nutrition, confidence. In our first episode we chat all things makeup over 50 – and how to avoid some common mistakes. We also chat about going grey, the impact of lockdown, and share some of our hero products with you.

  5. The Phenomenon of the InstaGran

    Comment
    Article by Beth Dobson   Dwelling  quietly in an upmarket café, I experienced the wrath of a new subspecies and a revolution in middle-aged humanity. The instagran. Often hunting in packs, their eagle-eyed scouts spy out the very best grammable locations. Adorned in chic attire, they professionally practice their signature pose whilst their post-menopausal pals direct them encouragingly. Pensive, glamorous, aloof, ecstatic, they can do them all. Flash after flash, pose after pose. Then once the photoshoot has come to a reluctant close, the editing begins. An hour or so later, with a polished tagline and appropriate hashtag, one solitary, filtered image emerges on social media for all to see. The flurry of likes begins and the cycle of the instagran continues.   My first experience of the instagran was...

  6. Buying The Perfect Milestone Gift For Your Partner

    Comment
      Finding the perfect gift for that special someone in your life can be tricky. This especially true if it is for a specific milestone occasion such as a 50th birthday, or a significant wedding anniversary. You will want to get something particularly personal that will mean a lot to the recipient. Even if you know the person extremely well, it can be tough to get that special gift. You will want something that they will find personally useful or enjoyable. You will want to find a balance between practicality and sentiment. There will also be a need to know that your gift will be well received while being meaningful to your partner.  While it is traditional to buy gifts such inscribed gold watches, or cufflinks for significant...

  9. 7 Tips for Setting up a Book Club

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon Setting up a book club is a great way of having regular get togethers with a group of friends. I started a book club about a year ago. Currently there are five of us who come together every four to six weeks . The evenings are informal, we take it turn to host, and take in turn to choose the next read. So what have we learnt and what tips can I offer as a result? Decide how serious you want your book club to be. Do you want to engage in an in-depth analysis of each book (there are lots of sites were you can download author’s notes and discussion topics for book clubs) or do you want the...

  10. Quiz: Would you have been persecuted for witchcraft 400 years ago?

    Comment
    Quiz by Tobsha Lerner Bestselling novelist and former journalist Tobsha Learner,  has researched the role magic and astrology  has played through history for her fantastic new book The Magick of Master Lilly (Little Brown), exploring the fascinating life of Master William Lilly – one of the most famous astrologers in British history. Tobsha has put together a fun quiz to explore whether you would have been defined as a witch in times gone by. For centuries women have been persecuted for being witches. This peaked in the mid 17th century during the civil war when an ambitious young shipping clerk Matthew Hopkins saw a way of furthering his career by proclaiming himself the Witchfinder general. He prosecuted and executed at least three hundred women...
