Youth Fades -- Must We? (Part 1)
One
of the great joys of blogging is the friendships you form with other
bloggers. Jennifer Connolly, creator of the
fabulous Blog “A Well Styled Life,” and I are kindred spirits on so many levels
it’s almost scary. Our
regular, bi-coastal (she on the west; I on the east) conversations on everything from style and fashion to the
challenges of aging gracefully are always a bright spot in my day. So, when she asked if
I would be interested in collaborating on the topic of the invisibility factor
in the lives of women over 50, I jumped at the chance to work with one of the
best bloggers in the business.
Here is my take on the topic.

The Misunderstood Parisian Waiter
A
recent article in the Wall Street Journal
had me smiling and nodding my head in agreement. The subject was that most intriguing,
intimidating, misunderstood and enigmatic of Parisian symbols – le serveur parisien – the Parisian
waiter.

Shut Up and Text!
There’s
no getting around it – we women love to complain.
It’s in our genes. But, when I
started blogging, I decided that I would do my best to avoid it, or, at least,
serve it up with a dash of humor and/or a reasonable solution.
So,
here goes. I’m about to complain and
perhaps do a bit of a rant. Don’t say
you haven’t been warned.

Best Winter Basics in My Makeup Bag
Brrrrrr. It’s COLD out there. It’s time for me to wrap my cold paws around
a warm cup of hot chocolate. Ahhh! That’s better. Winter can really be tough on our delicate
skin, particularly as we age. But,
there’s no need to go all high-end to battle its effects-- sometimes simple
works best.

Living Off the Grid – Well….Sort of
It’s been “one of those days” for several months now. I think the universe is trying to tell me
something, and I finally got the message loud and clear. This morning, I checked my horoscope on
French Yahoo, and it said,
« …vous
avez parfois l'impression d'être dans un jeu vidéo, manipulé par un adolescent
qui n'aurait aucun scrupule à vous faire dévorer par un monstre..... »
