Sparse, grey, or overplucked brows can age the face.
But so can harsh lines and overly dark filling.

It’s not about adding more — it’s about making the brows look natural.
A few things to remember: - There are no straight lines in nature, and your eyebrows should look like real hair.
- Use the color one tone lighter than your natural hair.
- Do not point your eyebrows downward, so they don’t drug your whole face down.

Two days before vacation… and my grey roots made an appearance.

No time for the salon, so I went with what I trust — L’Oreal Superior Preference, picked up at Shoppers/Phramaprix.

What I love most is how effortlessly it covers everything while still leaving my hair looking luminous, healthy, and strong. The color and shine stays rich and radiant for up to nine weeks, which makes all the difference when life gets busy.

And a little detail I truly appreciate — the Vitamin E conditioner included in the box. It leaves my hair incredibly soft and adds that extra shine.

It’s my Preference!

I used to pack my entire wardrobe for every vacation… until my suitcase got lost on a flight.
Since then, I only travel with a carry-on. Not only is it easier, but dragging a heavy suitcase over cobblestone streets or sandy roads? No thanks.

I’m now fully convinced that packing light is the smarter way to travel. It just means getting more intentional—choosing versatile, multi-purpose pieces that work together.
Like this super comfy black jersey dress from Amazon Essentials that I’ve had for years.
This one piece takes me from the beach → sightseeing → dinner with just a few small tweaks.

My rule: if it doesn’t make 3 outfits, it doesn’t come.

Conscious about showing your legs on vacation? I know I am! Swap the shorts for loose linen pants - even if it’s hot the pants are light and breezy and you instantly look more polished.

Go for linen blend if you hate ironing on vacation. Although wrinkled linen still looks chic.

If your lip liner looks like this… it might be aging you.

This is Episode 3 of my Makeup 101 series.

Instead of drawing around the lip, apply liner just under the lip contour and smudge it slightly over with your finger.

You still prevent lipstick from bleeding into lines — but the finish looks softer and more natural.

Another tip: very dark lipsticks can also age the face after 50, so neutral shades are usually more flattering and fresh. Adding a glossy, transparent shine on top will make your lips look even fresher.

Look closely at where the outfit cuts the body. That’s the detail that changes everything.

When a sweater hits the hips and the skirt stops at mid-calf, the silhouette gets broken at the widest points. That’s why you look heavier when you dress like that.

A few simple tweaks fix the proportions:
• add a longer skirt
• wear tall boots
• define the waist with a belt
• try an asymmetrical tuck
• add a shirt layer for length

Same sweater. Completely different result. Comment below ⬇️ which side you prefer - left or right?

How to style a brooch in a modern way (and refresh your wardrobe without buying anything new).

Brooches are everywhere again — and they’re one of the easiest ways to restyle clothes you already have in your closet.

Instead of shopping for new pieces this spring, try using a brooch to update your outfits and give you better proportions:

• pin your sweater on the side to give a hint of the waist
• gather an oversized shirt or cinch a blazer to create a waist
• wear brooches on blazer lapels in doubles
• or add one statement brooch to a scarf

It’s a small styling detail that can instantly make simple outfits look more polished and modern.

You landed on my Makeup 101 series — Episode 2.
Check Episode 1 if you missed it.

Most women over 50 skip this step before foundation… and it makes a huge difference.

Before applying foundation, try using a radiant primer first.

It smooths the skin, adds luminosity, and helps foundation sit better instead of looking dry or flat. The soft glow underneath makes skin look more radiant — and radiant skin always looks younger.

It’s one small step, but it can completely change how your foundation looks on mature skin.

And if you choose a radiant primer with SPF - it’s an added bonus .

If you have more visible texture or larger pores, you may want to lightly set those areas with a little powder after applying your makeup, since radiant primers can sometimes make pores appear more pronounced.

Share this with a friend who thinks their foundation always looks dull or patchy.

Fleece jackets look dated when the outfit has too much softness, busy patterns, or poor maintenance.

Here’s how to keep it modern:
• Choose solid colors (any color you like- I always prefer neutrals)
• Skip patterns — they cheapen the outfit
• Add structure with structured pants and pointed toe boots or shoes
• Layer a white or off-white tee underneath- it makes the look more sophisticated and freshens the face
• Open the zipper at least one third and pull up sleeves when you are inside
• Remove pilling regularly with fabric shaver
Add your favourite jewelry and bag

Monochrome looks where jacket color matches pants and shoes are more elevated and also slimming.

Try adding a thin belt to highlight your waist and see if you like it.

Fair Isle sweaters are not the problem. The styling is.
Here’s how to make your old Nordic sweater look current and elevated:

✔️ Swap your old pants for modern, sleek ones
✔️ Balance the volume — bulky top = clean, structured bottom
✔️ Mixing a sporty bag and voluminous sweater with structured, clean pants and pointy boots instantly makes the look more sophisticated
✔️ Wear an elastic band around your waist and tuck the hem so the sweater hits above your widest hip area — instant better proportions
✔️ If you have a tummy, tuck the hem slightly on one side — asymmetry slims the body and subtly hides the stomach
✔️ Add a fake shirt collar underneath — instant layered look that brightens your face
✔️ Add a sporty crossbody and modern sunglasses to complete the look
✔️ Push the sleeves up slightly to show wrist — small detail, big difference

Every season, I add a few trendy pieces to my basic wardrobe. As a rule of thumb, I don’t buy anything unless I can wear it with at least three pieces already in my closet.

This spring I’m adding:

• Asymmetrical wide-leg jeans @zara – that one small detail, the asymmetrical zipper, instantly takes them from basic to elevated. It’s the kind of unique detailing that makes a simple outfit feel intentional.

• White polka dot set @Shein – I’m a big sucker for black and white polka dots. I have this as a set (pants + jacket), but I probably won’t wear them together. I’ll style them separately so each piece works harder with my black jeans, white pants, skirts, denim.

• Black faux leather peplum jacket – @Zara - oversized shapes are giving way to cinched silhouettes and hourglass lines. I’m embracing that shift with this peplum jacket that defines the waist and instantly sharpens the look.

• Icy blue color replaces the dusty pink this season – this shade is in my seasonal color palette, so it flatters me automatically. And it pairs beautifully with denim, navy, grey, white, even black.

This comfortable maxi dress from @Commense is ideal for all of you who feels hot all the time. It’s soft, flattering and practical since you can wear it from desk to dinner. 🥘 It comes as a set with a long cardigan but I paired it with another practical jacket from @OGLmove that compliments the dress.

Pair it with a nice but walkable boots and if you’re meeting your girlfriend after work or going out with your partner throw on chick leopard print coat from @Commense ! Wear an elephant faux fur bucket hat to complete your look.

Hair tutorial for flat, straight, shoulder-length hair after 50. If your hair refuses to hold a curl or falls flat by noon, try this step-by-step method.

Start with a styling leave-in treatment with heat protection — like Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray - it works well for smooth, frizz-free curls. I use a 1.5-inch barrel curling iron at 360 degrees to avoid heat damage.

If you’re new to hot tools, wear a heat-protective glove like the GHD Heat Protect Glove to prevent burns.

Curl each section in alternating directions — away from the face, then toward — to get volume and hold. Use a flexible hold spray like Sebastian Shaper, and let curls cool completely before touching them.

At night, pull your hair into a loose ponytail on top of your head to protect the shape while you sleep. I brush mine out with fingers in the morning to keep the texture.
