Happy Christmas and Review of 2019

Happy Christmas my friends.  Is it really nearly the end of 2019?  And what’s more, another decade over and two since the millennium. I always move into each year with more than a little trepidation as to what it might bring. But my motto is to live each day, week, month and year to the

Urban Decay Eyeshadows review of ‘The Petite Palette’

Urban Decay Eyeshadows are not my usual go-to choice when it comes to my eyes. Maybe it is because I consider the brand to be aimed at a younger, a much younger, market. But my daughter had left this very attractive ‘petite palette’ out waiting to be borrowed and it was small enough to fit

Medical Micro Needling under the Spotlight

Micro Needling is seemingly the latest and most effective treatment in the fight against lines and wrinkles. I laugh when I see the age of the testers. They need someone of more advanced years to really test it, I always say. So, when Wendy Tyner of Wendy’s Advanced Aesthetic and Skincare Clinic in Dunboyne offered

The Best of 2017 in Health and Beauty

I was not even sure if it came under Health and Wellbeing, when I wrote about my love affair with gin. The title ‘How to stay Healthy, drink Gin’ confused a few people and I am sure many thought it was fake news but I did a lot of research which suggested that there were

Not Botox or Fillers- just Silk Pillowcases!

You know how I like to share, but I am always very careful about what I recommend when I talk about the beauty products I use because firstly what works me might not be suitable for your skin. I am a coward when it comes to Botox or Fillers, but I am still keen to

Flutter those lashes!

  Finding a good mascara is a bit like searching for The Holy Grail. It can be a problem at any age, but it becomes even more difficult as we get older. Why? It’s one of the ‘joys’ of ageing. Think of the changes happening to our skin as we age; well, apply the same

Goodbye to bad hair days

It’s not called our crowning glory for nothing! No matter what I am wearing, no matter how well I look otherwise, if my hair is not right I might as well stay at home. I know that most of my friends feel the same way and many spend more on keeping their tresses just right

Lip smackingly good lipstick!

My late mother-in-law would not come downstairs without first applying her lipstick. She always said she did not feel dressed without it. I am far lazier, but I see the difference that the right shade of lipstick makes to my face. And the older I get, the more I seem to need it and the

Ageless Beauty…Make-Up class

I am the first to admit that I am not good with make-up. Usually it takes me three or four minutes to slap on a bit of foundation, eye-liner, and lipstick. Obviously, I spend more time if I am going out to dinner or going somewhere important, if you follow my drift. Then I add

Wrinkles, wrinkles everywhere and not a cure in sight!

I am always shocked (well, disappointed maybe!) when I look in the mirror and see my face – it’s not bad, as faces go, it’s just that I seem to think I should still look like the photos hanging on the wall that were taken nearly 20 years ago. The sagging jawline is always traumatic
