The holidays aren’t just for us – our pets deserve to feel the love, too! And let’s be honest, once we hit 50, our pets often become our closest companions, filling our homes with joy and unconditional love. I haven’t had a pet for a long time, but this year, that’s all changed! My pup […]

Hey there, lovely ladies 50+! The holidays are here, and while they can be magical, let’s admit it—they can also get a little crazy. But don’t worry, I’ve got your back with some stress-busting tips that will help you breeze through the season with your sparkle intact. But sometimes stress also makes us forget to […]

One of the changes women 50+ notice in their skin first is that it becomes much drier than it was before menopause. I mean, much drier. For most of my life, I had to blot oil off my T-Zone and spent so much money on mattifying products to keep down shine. Now, not so much. […]

For women over 50, it’s all about comfortable clothes. I don’t know about you, but I am long over the high heels, tight suits, scratchy uncomfortable bras, “flattering but frustratingly uncomfy” styles… I’m over it all. We have earned the right to comfortable clothes, and if you have a chronic pain or fatigue issue (as […]

So many of us women over 50 get to this point in our lives and realize that we aren’t where we want to be. Whether that’s trying to make enough money to retire the way you deserve, making a difference in the world, or just doing something big, for you. Success after 50 is not […]

So here’s the deal… as we age, most women are on the constant search for the best concealer for mature skin. Why? Well first, because, sun damage. 😎  Some of it is because our thinning and changing skin allows more capillaries to show. Some of it is dark circles that develop under our eyes. (We […]

I talk a lot about the fact that women over 50 are from generations where we were taught to have low confidence and poor self-esteem. That’s right girls, it isn’t your fault. Society taught us older women all the things we needed to know to have significant issues with our self-love when we were just […]

As an older woman, you probably aren’t (and probably shouldn’t be!) wearing the same hairstyle as in your 20’s. If you are looking for just the right one and you want something chic and easy to take care of, you may want to look at pixie cuts for women over 50. Whether your hair is […]

One of the things that I’ve learned about the changing skin of women over 50 is that it is just that…changing. It isn’t as smooth and elastic as it once was. And to create a wonderful makeup look, you have to start with a good base, and that means finding the best makeup primer for […]

Traveling is one of life’s greatest joys, and with a bit of planning, it can be a breeze. And this packing list for women is specifically for ladies over 50+! It took me years to realize that having a packing list to use every single time I travel meant I would never again suffer without […]

If you are a woman over 50 or better, chances are you aren’t wearing the same makeup brand and formulas that you did in your 20s. When it comes to the best mascara for older women, there are great options. Older women tend to have thinning eyelashes that are more delicate and tolerate less pulling […]

So last week, my father died. And in between the traveling, the hospital, and the time spent with him and with other family members, I started to grieve. Now grieving is not the same for everyone… or anyone. We are all different which means how we grieve will also be different. But in spending time […]

So ladies, if you are a woman 50+, chances are you’ve spent a good part of your life taking care of those around you. And maybe now you may even be looking at being a caretaker again, with aging parents. But here’s the thing. We are now wise enough to know that WE COUNT TOO. […]

Warm (or hot!) weather is here, and I don’t know about you, but I need to think of some fun things to do outside this summer! Before this season hurries by, make sure you are making a mindful effort to take advantage of getting outdoors. Why? Outdoor activities are proven to help with depression and […]

So as I sit here and wonder about teaching women over 50+ about resilience, overcoming obstacles, and inner strength, my oldest daughter is waiting to deliver her third baby, my sixth grandbaby. I mean, literally down to days here. And my eight-year-old grandson is feeling a lot of anxiety over what comes next. There is […]

I agree with the old saying, “The shoes make the outfit.” But for those of you who have been following TMG for a while, you know I have several autoimmune chronic pain conditions. One of them is inflammatory arthritis which also affects my feet. Now, I was never a stiletto girl. I wore heels when […]

Hey there, fabulous ladies over 50+! When I was young, I had an almost photographic memory. Literally, I knew my credit card numbers by heart, I didn’t even have to look up my deductions when doing my taxes because I remembered them all, and I never forgot a phone number… You get it. Fast forward […]

Journaling for women is considered one of the best paths toward self-discovery, better mental health, healing, and growth. The trick might be finding journal ideas that inspire us to stick with the habit. According to Dr. Margarita Tartakovsky, a licensed psychologist and associate editor at PsychCentral, “Journaling can be an excellent pressure-releasing valve when we […]

Having a self-care spa day at home isn’t a luxury. It’s a great way to look after your well-being in the privacy of your own home.  Spa days are wonderful for relaxation, rejuvenation, and pampering. But let’s face it, it can be pricey to book a day at your local day spa. Like, really pricey. […]

If you are thinking that sundresses are just for the 20-somethings, think again. It’s kind of funny, but I never wore them until my 40’s. I was a shorts and leggings kind of girl. Not really sure why, I guess because I was an active mom and always had to be ready to get down […]
