Interview with Eugenia from ‘The Age of Grace’

I am delighted to introduce you to Eugenia, one of my Fierce 50 sisters. Over a year ago, the Fierce 50 campaign was launched and through it I became friends online with Eugenia, who is one of the most thoughtful and kindest bloggers I know.

Working in Pharmaceutical sales from 9 to 5, Eugenia, who has an enviable wardrobe and a glamorous style, blogs in her spare time. Her blog ‘The Age of Grace’ will impress you for many reasons. You can read about her anti-ageing routines, fitness and exercise tips, and she shares her knowledge on staying healthy as we age. And, of course, you can get a peek into her wardrobe and read about her latest purchases. Today we are featuring each other on our blogs. Read on and learn more about Eugenia.

‘God’s grace is all around us—it’s in the little things. I want to share those little things with you, here, on this blog.’

1. Do you have a personal style and if so, how would you describe it?

 Feminine chic. Having a pear-shape silhouette and I’m only 5’4″, it’s easier to wear dresses and skirts.        Otherwise, I need to go to the tailor for alterations to shorten pants.2. Do you think there is such a thing as ‘age-appropriate dressing’?

I do and I don’t. I’d like to believe if you maintain a healthy weight and are ageing gracefully you can wear whatever you want. However, as you mature, some styles just look silly on a seasoned women trying to wear what her millennial daughter may wear. I do believe there are some styles that can be tweaked to being age-appropriate. I sometimes purchase clothing for my millennial and we both wear the same item differently and age-appropriately.

3. Your favourite fashion photo in the last year and why?

My favourite fashion photo from last year was my last photo of the year, a pair of wide-legged sequin pants with a royal blue wrap trimmed in faux-fur over a grey bodysuit. Why was this my favourite photo? Because my best outfits of the day are when I shop my closet, when I give life to items already worn but styled differently.

 4. What is the best thing about turning 50?

The best thing about turning 50, it’s a life milestone being in great health and ageing gracefully.  I vowed when I became middle-aged, I wouldn’t look or be old or look frumpy.

5. Where do you live (and is it where you were born)? What do you like most about it?

I currently live in Central Pennsylvania. I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  I like the small town feel after growing up in a major city. Small towns offer quaintness, peace and are great places to raise a family.

6. Do you have long-term goals for your blog?

I do have long-term goals for my blog, The Age of Grace. Eventually to partner with a major healthcare company with opportunities to have sponsors for meet-ups for health awareness and fashion clinics to help women who are  not confident at this time in their lives.

7.  What was your most popular blog in the last year? (and would you care to include a link to it?)

The Chico’s Casting Call Blog Post: http://www.theageofgrace.com/2017/04/20/my-chicos-casting-call-in-new-york-city/

8. What piece of advice would you give to your 16-year old self?

Refrain from chemical treatments to straighten my natural hair.  I’m paying the price now with thinning hair.

9. What would you like on your tombstone in less than 20 words?

God-fearing, daughter, sister, wife and mother who always loved celebrating her life and remembering the birthdays of others.

10.  5 Fun Facts about yourself?

           1.  My childhood pet name is Cookie.

           2.  I attended charm school as a teenager.

           3.  I used to play field hockey in high school along with being a cheerleader.

           4.  I attended an all-girls private school in Philadelphia, my home town.

           5.  I studied Textiles in college and prefer natural materials over synthetic.

And I am lounging around in a hoodie  @primark and @carraig_donn comfy trousers. Psst! They have a slightly elasticated waist. I always swore I would never wear trousers without a structured waistband!
And yet here I am. But they are comfy and stylish and I love the stripes down the sides. Check out my blog and my friends  @is_this_mutton_  @annasislandstyle  @mummabstylish  and @thestylesplash.
And recommend some nice loungewear sets please. I need to up my game!

Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, tak Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, taken when we could go further than 5k. Wearing all Zara except for old @carl_scarpa boots. How are you coping with the present lockdown? I am reading lots and watching telly and walking. I sympathise with those of you who are homeschooling and trying to work. Not easy. But we are nearly there. Stay strong.

New Year Resolutions are not for me. I just love New Year Resolutions are not for me.
 I just love the life I live. Of course I am worried about the Pandemic. Who isn't? 
But even though I cannot meet friends, eat out or do many of the 'normal' activities I used to do, I can still walk and enjoy the lovely place I live. Pop over to the blog to see my farewell to 2020.

 'Life is not measured by 
the number of breaths we take, but
the moments that take our breaths away.'

Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Year's Eve for certain. We are sitting at home watching the telly. But welcoming in 2021 with open arms and hoping that in a few months we can return to a more normal life. 

While 2020 was tough, it also made me appreciate (even more) the beautiful place where I live. 

2020 also had its highlights: our third grandson arrived a few weeks ago!

Stay positive my friends. Stay safe and
 thank you for your support.

It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we are out and about. Warm outerwear has never been more important, as we meet up with friends for socially distanced coffee outdoors.

 The coat from @primark has kept me cosy during these difficult Covid times.  This pic was taken down a country lane a few weeks ago when I was visiting my parents.

And I have lived in these camo leggings from @fandfclothing for the past few months.  Walking boots and hat are old. Pop over to stories for more pics.

Go check out my friends @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash to see what they wear when they are out and about.

Writing about the importance of supplementing with Writing about the importance of supplementing with Vitamin C (particularly at the moment) on the blog. Liposomal Vitamin C is all the rage becuse it promises optimal absorption. It is all quite scientific. But what you need to know is that taking it will benefit your immune system, your energy and your skin. Did I mention this Somega is delicious? More on the blog.

From the archives. Remember when we tried on dress From the archives. Remember when we tried on dresses etc in changing rooms? And browsed in shops?
This is one that got away. Kind of wish I had bought it now @lkbennettlondon 
I am not so good at online shopping. Bought runners online in the size I normally get in that brand and they had to go back. Anyone else with the same problem?

🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) h 🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) has Ionic Brushing Superpowers! 

🪥Sounds impressive? It is!

🪥But do not ask me to explain it.Check out @ion.sei for all the science stuff. And learn about the innovative technology used in this German manufactured and Japanese inspired toothbrush. 

🪥It has to do with a UV LED light, a titanium bar and negative ions. But it is rather complicated and I am not a science geek.

🪥What I know is that my teeth  and gums feel cleaner and are cleaner. Because it actually prevents plaque from forming.

🪥Easy to use (there are 3 brushing modes) and gentle on gums, it turns off after 2 minutes. And delivers minimum 36,000 strokes in that time!!
