Welcome to Today’s News for Women over 50.

I have not created one of these posts in awhile, but during my recent reader survey, I was asked to occasionally bring them back.

On these days, I curate news headlines I have found that may be of interest to you in the areas of fashion, beauty, health and lifestyle.

Feel free to comment on any or all, and remember that if you read an article here that prompts you to make a change in your good health practices to consider discussing it with your personal physician.

So, get your warm beverage, snuggle down and let’s get started…..

2021 FUN AHEAD

I thought you might like this article from Who What Wear Where a 55-Year Old Former Nordstrom Buyer shares what trends she is excited about.

A LITTLE HISTORY CLASS

When this popped up, I knew there were a few of you who would enjoy the read from Smithsonian Magazine. How Handbags became the Ultimate Fashion Accessory.

GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE, SOLD

It is always interesting to me to see what people will spend on items at an auction…even if it is Chanel. Read about the family jewels here…some never seen before: Rare Chanel Jewelry may gain $163,000 at auction.

STAND UP…NOW

Many of us have suffered the consequences of too much dormancy during COVID. This article is convicting, but may help: From Real Simple Magazine: 8 Signs You Are Not Moving Enough.

AND LET’S NOT FORGET THE MEALS

And, portion size on our meals is also important.

I hope these reminders will have all of us working on good health in 2021! From Cooking Light magazine read: A handy way to understand healthy serving sizes.

OK….HOW ABOUT A VEGAN DESSERT?

I don’t want to take away all of your fun! So, if you are craving baking a sweet treat, try this: Vegan Carrot Cake Banana Bread With Cream Cheese Frosting.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

If you grew up as I did, you will remember how neighbors sat out on their front porches in the evenings and stopped at each other’s homes and visited. The front porch had everything to do with neighbors’ communications!

So, this article from Treehugger appealing to the return of THE FRONT PORCH! caught my attention.

See what you think!

We communicate on this blog…it is our front porch some days. So, please let us know any thoughts you have on these articles. I hope you found them interesting….

KEEP SMILING, LADIES!
