The years may pass, but beauty and vitality never grow old

Comment

Article by Cynthia Castro Whatever the media tell us, beauty never grows old. If anything, it can become more radiant and give light to those around us. As the years pass, the stresses and strain of life can catch up with us: jobs, commuting, family life, those unexpected sad moments we all have to face – they all add up. When we look in the mirror we might not feel we’re enough anymore, that we don’t like the person looking back at us. Ladies, it doesn’t, and shouldn’t, be like that. Let me tell you now: you are beautiful and enough. Beauty, real beauty, doesn’t grow old. Breathe that fact in! Just look at the many celebrities and sports stars and people you and I know probably know, who never...

Hobbies for all ages

Comment

Article by FabafterFifty For many women, hitting that landmark 50th birthday signifies a new stage in their lives. The children will more than likely have left home which gives you the breathing space to think about your needs for a change.

Turning 50 doesn’t have to mean taking it easy – and these hobbies prove that age really is but a number. As this blog posts from McCarthy & Stone shows, you can forget daddy cool – 65% of kids think it’s their grandparents who deserve the hipster accolade!

Brad Pitt’s Chateau Miraval Wine

2

Article by Ceri Wheeldon I may not have received an invite to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s wedding in South of France, but I have at least tried their wine! In fact a glass of chilled rose is probably the closest I will ever get to Brad Pitt. You really can’t spend time in the South of France without savouring the rose wine. And how could I resist trying a bottle of Chateau Miraval – named the best Rose in the world this year- when spotting it at the Antibes Cave (wine shop). I had previously tried the wine from vineyard, it was formerly marketed as Pink Floyd prior to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie taking it over (they bought the chateau and vineyard in 2011 have previously leased it for 3 years) . Other than the name change,...

The Fabulous Impact Of Being Fab After 50

9

Article by Nicci Roscoe Being ‘Fabulous After 50’ is something we can all do because we’ve had fifty years to learn how to look it, feel it and think it!

So how have we adapted our lifestyles and learned from these larger-than-life programmes? Little did I know when I was watching Dallas and Dynasty that more than thirty years later I ‘d be helping people discover their confidence in business and life and rewriting their...
