“I Look Great for 64. But I’m 58.” What You Might be Doing Wrong. (Part 2)
A few weeks ago, I published Part 1 of a 2-part series on the most common reasons women look older than they actually are. Despite what most people believe, Baby Boomer women don’t always want to look younger, but they sure as hell don’t want to look older. Nobody’s that good a sport. Boomer women […]
Middle Age. Sometimes All You Can Do is Laugh
With Baby Boomers making up a significant percentage of the national population and now reaching their 60s and beyond, much has been written about the joys and pains of growing older. On one hand, we tend to be more at peace with ourselves and our lives. Whether that comes from cumulative decades of meditation […]

My Fairy Godmother Said She Could Make Me 20 Again. I Said No Thank You
It’s generally accepted that Americans live in a youth-driven society. Beauty in our country is defined by perky boobs, toned arms, and butts like tiny peach pits. We take our kids to college and reminisce about bright, open-ended futures. We envy the possibilities of youth as much as we do their smooth, unlined faces. It can seem like […]
Middle Age. I’m Going to Need a Second Job
I watched a TV reality show a few weeks ago that congratulated a woman on winning a “Total Beauty Makeover.” She was apparently the ugliest one of the contestants, and the judges decided she was most in need of a complete overhaul. At the end of the show, there was, of course, a giant blowup […]
Love ‘Em or Hate ‘Em. Let’s Talk About Boobs
Boobs, hooters, melons, muchachas, sisters, or the girls. One website claims to list over 250 nicknames for the female breasts. We dress them with lace for date night. We smush them into immobility with a spandex sports bra to go for a run. We search endlessly for the perfect fit that holds the team up there […]
If Midlifers Gave Advice to Their Parents
The Google universe is awash with humorous articles and blog posts on “Momisms” and advice we received during our boomer generation childhoods.
