My CO2 Laser Treatment with South William Clinic

WHY DID I HAVE A CO2 LASER TREATMENT? I want to look as good as I can for my age. That’s the truth.  I eat healthily, I walk and I ‘do’ yoga. I go to a physical therapist regularly to look after my aches and pains. So, when it comes to my face, I have

Festival Finery with ‘Style Not Age’

Festival Finery is Emma’s choice for July. And, of course, summer is festival season. I am thinking of music festivals, flower festivals, literature festivals and so on. I have actually been to two fabulous concerts locally in June, but was more concerned about keeping dry and warm than dressing in any festival finery. So what

Dreamy Dresses with ‘Style Not Age’

Jacqui chose our ‘Style Not Age’ theme of ‘Dreamy Dresses’ for June! Perfect, I thought, I will have had plenty of opportunity to wear my summer dresses and take lots of photos. But, in reality, summer (and therefore dreamy dresses) has been a bit of a non-event until this weekend. While in Derry/Londonderry last week,

My Skin Care Journey with Dr Laura Clinic

I recently had an online consultation with The Dr Laura Clinic in Galway. It got me thinking! How do we choose skincare? I used to be swayed by words like new, innovative and, of course, anti-ageing. But, now, I like to think that I am more informed. I want my skin to be healthy and,

New PhiBrows at The Dublin Make-Up Academy

The Brows are back in town.  Got my new PhiBrows at The Dublin Makeup Academy. And I am HAPPY OUT. My eyebrows were (until I had my Phibrows done) a total disaster. Years of overplucking (why, oh why, did I do it?), menopause, ageing, stress, you name it all played havoc with my brows. I

Yumi Lash Lift at Bespoke Beauty makes my Eyes Pop

When Elaine at Bespoke Beauty offered me a complimentary Yumi  Lash Lift, I was a little unsure. I do not have great eyelashes I told her. They are not in great condition. In fact, I have some bald patches sometimes. Why do eyelashes fall from the same area at the same time? But I was

Goodbye to 2020 and Look Forward

Goodbye 2020 I believe that most of us (probably everyone) are happy to see the back end of 2020. Personally, it has not been all bad as we welcomed our third grandson on my birthday on December 9th. And we managed to get through the various restrictions including the FIRST LOCKDOWN without too much difficulty.
