Make Up and Ageing
I was never the prettiest girl, so had to learn early how to wear make up to enhance what I have. As I've gotten older, and more comfortable with me, I don't wear make up when I'm not at work, or not at an event where there will be photos that could get posted all...

Menopause…
Yup, menopause...that change all women must pass through, for me, it was the beginning of an ongoing online search for information to make this transition easier, so I could get back to living. But that never happened. I had a hysterectomy when I was 45 years old and...
